United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. CARLIN. Well, my husband then handed the phone to me and called me
back to the phone so I got on the telephone and Jack said, “Tell the
man at the garage, put him on the phone,” and he said, “I will let you
have $5 to get back home.” And that was all that was said, and he gave
me $5, and I signed a receipt, and that was all.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you talk to Jack about the rest of your salary?
Mrs. CARLIN. No.
Mr. HUBERT. How much in fact was due at that time?
Mrs. CARLIN. I don’t remember. I had drew some on my salary. I wouldn’t
say for sure, but I had drew some that week.
Mr. HUBERT. You were asking him not merely for $5, but all that was due
you, I take it?
Mrs. CARLIN. No; I was just asking him for an advance.
Mr. HUBERT. Oh, I see.
Mrs. CARLIN. Because he had been nice to me and let me have an advance
before, so I just wanted an advance until he got the club back open.
Mr. HUBERT. Was your salary due at the end of the week or the beginning?
Mrs. CARLIN. At the end of the week.
Mr. HUBERT. Wasn’t your salary due that Saturday night?
Mrs. CARLIN. I think it was; yes. I think I got paid on Saturday. It
was either Saturday or Monday, I don’t remember, because I got my
salary on Monday twice.
Mr. JACKSON. Karen, could you have gotten paid on Sunday night?
Mrs. CARLIN. It could have been Sunday. It was either Saturday or
Sunday. I got paid twice on Monday.
Mr. JACKSON. On this particular night of November 23, on the telephone
when you talked to Jack and he said I will let you have $5 through the
garageman and, you signed the receipt, did you ask him for any given
amount of money or just for some money?
Mrs. CARLIN. Just enough money to get back home on, and I happened to
mention I would need money for rent tomorrow, and he said to call him.
Mr. JACKSON. Call him tomorrow?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes. He didn’t say what time.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, on the Saturday night you did mention to
him the question of getting not merely the $5, enough to get back, but
really a part of your salary, which would become due whenever pay day
was, whether it was Saturday night or Sunday or Monday night?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Do I understand you that his remark was, “Well, I will let
you have $5 now and then call tomorrow?”
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Did he say that he would send you money the next day?
Mrs. CARLIN. No; he did--just said call him tomorrow and he would talk
about that tomorrow.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, the call that he wanted you to make on
Sunday was with reference to your request for your pay?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. I gather that he was not disposed to talk about it then,
but invited you to call him the next day?
Mrs. CARLIN. That’s right.
Mr. HUBERT. And mentioned no time at all?
Mrs. CARLIN. No.
Mr. HUBERT. All right, then, did you call him the next day?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes; I did.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, where did you call him from?
Mrs. CARLIN. From our home.
Mr. HUBERT. Where was that now?
