Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. JACKSON. When you say move, you mean move out at night and not
sleep there?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. That is what I meant, to move next door, I think is what
you meant?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Now coming to the event of November 22, where were you? Do
you recall when you heard about the shooting of the President?
Mrs. CARLIN. At home.
Mr. HUBERT. How did you hear it, on TV?
Mrs. CARLIN. Television. No; I take that back. The first I heard was
when I got the telephone call.
Mr. HUBERT. Who did you receive a telephone call from?
Mrs. CARLIN. Andrew.
Mr. HUBERT. Armstrong?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. What did he tell you, do you remember?
Mrs. CARLIN. He just said that the President had been shot and we
weren’t going to open, that we would open the next night, and I hung up.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, it would be closed on Friday, but open on
Saturday?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Anytime you want to interject any kind of comment, let me
know and I will stop. You did not speak to Ruby at that time?
Mrs. CARLIN. No. Andrew was calling from the club, he said, and just
wanted to let all the girls know that they needn’t come to work.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you stay then in Fort Worth that night?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. I think you indicated that Andrew did not tell you that the
club would not be open Saturday?
Mrs. CARLIN. Saturday?
Mr. HUBERT. Saturday.
Mrs. CARLIN. He said that it would probably be open Saturday. He said
to call to make sure.
Mr. HUBERT. He asked you to call to make sure?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you call?
Mrs. CARLIN. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Instead, you came in?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes. I tried to call. There wasn’t anybody there in the
evening, so I went ahead and got ready and went to work.
Mr. HUBERT. How did you come?
Mrs. CARLIN. Bus.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you come alone?
Mrs. CARLIN. No; I didn’t. I didn’t come by bus. I came with Tammi
True, another stripper. She had to come over and collect her salary.
She had been fired by Ruby, and she was coming over to get her salary,
so she brought my husband, and I went over to Dallas with her.
Mr. HUBERT. She had an automobile?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. She was living in Fort Worth?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. When had she been fired, do you know?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes. She had been fired Thursday night.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know why she was fired?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes. There was a question about salary.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you mean she thought she should get more?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Where did you all park the automobile then?
Mrs. CARLIN. In the car lot next door.
Mr. HUBERT. Nichols’ car lot?
Mrs. CARLIN. I don’t know the name of it.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, what happened then?
Mrs. CARLIN. Then we got to the club and the doors were locked, and
there was no sign of anybody being in there, so we thought----
Mr. HUBERT. About what time was it?
Mrs. CARLIN. It was about 8:30.
