United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. CARLIN. It was about the same thing. She had came back to work and
was supposed to be pregnant and sick, and she was dying, so she came
in, she was late for her first show, and Jack didn’t say anything, and
all of us girls were mad and wouldn’t talk to her. So she did her first
show, and she was supposed to be hurting bad and she wanted to get out
of the second show, and just came back from the week after staying out,
and she went to Jack, and you could hear her plumb to the opposite
office.
There was a wall, and you could hear her there fussing and cussing
because she wanted to take off the second show. And he told her she
had been off a week and he couldn’t afford to pay her salary when she
wasn’t doing a job at all. And he said, “If you don’t like your job,
you know what you could do.”
Mr. HUBERT. Was that an indication that there might have been some
relationship between them other than business?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes. Well, I know it wasn’t hearsay. I know that they were
going together, and Joy was using this over his head.
Mr. JACKSON. How do you know this?
Mrs. CARLIN. She told me, and also Jack made indications that he was
going with her.
Mr. HUBERT. That she went to his apartment or he went to hers?
Mrs. CARLIN. Only what Joy would tell me, and Joy was a big liar. She
was known to lie about things that she had no reason to lie about.
She would lie about men making passes just to make the girls ask her
questions and be the center of attention, so I wouldn’t say she was
telling the truth when she said anything.
Mr. HUBERT. Had you ever met Jack’s sister, Eva Grant?
Mrs. CARLIN. No.
Mr. HUBERT. You know of her?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. You never met her?
Mrs. CARLIN. After the President’s killing, I did.
Mr. HUBERT. How did you come to meet her then?
Mrs. CARLIN. She was at the club and she was having an argument with
Ralph. I believe it was either Ralph or the other gray-haired guy. I
don’t know his name--about the club. That it was her club, she was
going to run it, and Ralph was saying he was left in charge of the
club, and as long as he was financing the club, she wasn’t going to run
it. And there was an argument between her and one of the girls about
the fact that she wasn’t going to work for Eva because she had tried to
work for Eva and it wouldn’t work.
Mr. HUBERT. Could you tell me something about the gray-haired man other
than the one you identified as Ralph Paul?
Mrs. CARLIN. This was a--I don’t know his name. He was in there quite a
bit after the President’s killing. He was in there almost every night.
He was supposed to be one of Jack’s closest friends or supposed to have
lived with Jack.
Mr. HUBERT. That wouldn’t have been Senator, would it?
Mrs. CARLIN. I don’t know.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you ever hear that perhaps that man was one of his
brothers?
Mrs. CARLIN. No. It wasn’t one of his brothers.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember anything further about him?
