United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. CARLIN. I don’t remember the address. Meadowbrook Drive.
Mr. HUBERT. Did Mr. Weldon Thompson--did you all have a phone listed in
your own name?
Mrs. CARLIN. Bruce Carlin.
Mr. HUBERT. Was it listed in your husband’s name?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. That phone you used?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. And you called Jack?
Mrs. CARLIN. At home.
Mr. HUBERT. Is it a long distance call between Fort Worth and Dallas?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Charged to your phone, I take it?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember what time you called him?
Mrs. CARLIN. It was 10. I think it was around 10 or 10:05 or 10:15,
something like that. It was between that time.
Mr. HUBERT. Would you be able to say with any degree of accuracy that
it could not have been earlier than 10?
Mrs. CARLIN. It could have been. I am not going to say for sure.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, the fact of the matter is, the phone records show--I
don’t have them before me, but the phone records show it was about that
time. Could you just tell us the gist of the conversation with Jack on
that occasion.
Mrs. CARLIN. Well, Jack answered the telephone. And I told him who it
was, and he said, “Yes, well,” and I said, “I have called, Jack, to try
to get some money, because the rent is due and I need some money for
groceries, and you told me to call.”
And he said, “How much will you need?” And I said--I’ll ask my husband,
and then I said about “$25.”
Mr. HUBERT. Your husband was in the room with you?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes. He was in the part of the front part of the house.
And he said, “Well, I have to go downtown anyway, so I will send it to
you by Western Union.” And he asked me what name to send it in, and I
told him, “Karen Bennett.”
Mr. HUBERT. Was it arranged to be sent to your home or what?
Mrs. CARLIN. No; to Western Union downtown.
Mr. HUBERT. Did he tell you about what time to expect it?
Mrs. CARLIN. No. I asked him what time, about how long, and he didn’t
say.
Mr. HUBERT. You mean he didn’t say anything, or he said he didn’t know?
Mrs. CARLIN. He said, “Well,” he did say it would take a little while
to get dressed and something about the dog, I don’t remember what it
was. And he said, “I’ll go on down and send it to you.” And I said, “I
sure would appreciate it.” And that is about all there was.
Mr. HUBERT. Now was your rent in fact due?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Had your landlord been pressing you for the rent?
Mrs. CARLIN. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Did Ruby seem to be annoyed that you were asking for money
on Sunday?
Mrs. CARLIN. No; he--not that Sunday, he didn’t seem to be annoyed.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you think that there was a difference in his attitude
toward the money that you asked for on Sunday as opposed to the money
you asked for the night before?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes. He still seemed upset, you know, or hateful, short,
but he didn’t seem as much as he was Saturday night.
