United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. Was there a sign up saying that the club would be closed?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes. They were closed, but it didn’t say when or how
long or when it would open or anything on it. We went upstairs to
the Carousel Club--I mean the Colony Club next door and waited a few
minutes hoping they would open up, thinking possibly it would be late,
and we would wait up there 30 or 40 minutes. And my husband checked
several times to see if they were open, and I said, “Tammy, if you are
broke,”--she knew how to get ahold of him, because she was broke. She
didn’t have any salary.
Mr. HUBERT. You didn’t have any money?
Mrs. CARLIN. No.
Mr. HUBERT. None whatsoever?
Mrs. CARLIN. We had a little change. I think 40 or 50 cents, change.
And Tammy said she didn’t want----
Mr. HUBERT. Between you and your husband?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes. And I asked Tammy how to get ahold of Jack and she
gave me his home phone, and that is when I tried to call Jack.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you reach him?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes; I reached him at home. He answered the telephone. And
I asked Jack if we were going to be open, and he got very angry and
was very short with me. He said, “Don’t you have any respect for the
President? Don’t you know the President is dead?” And I said, “Jack, I
am sorry. Andrew said that perhaps we would be open, and I don’t have
any money, and you know I am supposed to get paid.” And I wanted some
money on my pay to get back home. And he said, “I don’t know when I
will open. I don’t know if I will ever open back up.” And he was very
hateful. And he said something he had to come down to the club in about
an hour and for me to wait and he would see me then. And I hung up and
told my husband what had happened, and we waited and waited and he
didn’t show up. That is when my husband and I went down to the garage
and Tammi had to go see some friend there at the Theatre Lounge.
Mr. HUBERT. This first call that you made was not made from the garage?
Mrs. CARLIN. No. It was made from the Colony Club.
Mr. HUBERT. So then you went over to the garage?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. What was the purpose of going there?
Mrs. CARLIN. Because we wouldn’t have any more money and we didn’t want
to sit up there.
Mr. HUBERT. So then did you call Mr. Ruby again?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you or your husband?
Mrs. CARLIN. My husband.
Mr. HUBERT. Were you present when your husband called?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you hear what your husband, at least, said on his end
of the line?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes; but I didn’t pay much attention. I was sitting in the
chair talking to the man that was in there, the man that worked at the
garage.
Mr. HUBERT. So you are not able to tell us really what happened on your
husband’s end of the line?
Mrs. CARLIN. No.
Mr. HUBERT. What happened after that?
