United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. And I am signing my name below that, for the purpose of
identification. On the second page thereof, in the lower right-hand
corner I am placing my initials. Mrs. Carlin, I will ask you if you
have had an opportunity, with your attorney, Mr. Jackson, to read this
statement?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Is this statement a fair statement of the interview that
you had with the FBI agents?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mir. Hubert. Do you see anything in it, and I will ask your attorney to
assist you, since he helped you to read it and went over it, do you see
anything that needs to be changed, adjusted, or modified?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes; the part where it says, “Just for rent.”
Mr. HUBERT. You are referring to a sentence in the third paragraph
about the middle of that paragraph which reads as follows, to wit: “She
called Ruby again on Sunday, November 24, 1963, at 10 or 10:30 a.m., as
she needed money to pay her rent.” Now that is the sentence that you
are referring to, is that correct?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. What comment do you wish to make about it?
Mrs. CARLIN. Well, I didn’t ask him for just money for the rent. It was
for groceries also.
Mr. HUBERT. You actually mentioned to him that it was for groceries as
well as for rent?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. All right, do you have any other parts that you wish to
change?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes; the last sentence in the third paragraph.
Mr. HUBERT. Now you are speaking of the sentence which reads
as follows, to wit: “Karen used her Texas driver’s license as
identification.” What comments do you wish to make about that, Mrs.
Carlin?
Mrs. CARLIN. It was a California driver’s license.
Mr. HUBERT. All right, are there any other parts of that statement
which are incorrect or need modification?
Mr. JACKSON. The fourth paragraph, first sentence which reads as
follows: “At the time she talked with Ruby, Sunday morning, she asked
him if the club was going to be open Sunday night. He became upset
regarding this, then talked harshly to her, indicating that he did not
feel she was showing the proper respect toward the deceased President.”
Mr. HUBERT. What comment do you wish to make about that sentence?
Mrs. CARLIN. It was not Sunday that he said anything about the
President. It was Saturday night that he talked real harshly regarding
the President.
Mr. HUBERT. Do I understand you to say then that when you spoke to him
on Sunday morning, that the subject of the President was not mentioned
at all?
Mrs. CARLIN. That’s right. He just sounded preoccupied and upset.
Mr. JACKSON. That was on Sunday that he sounded preoccupied?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes; he sounded distant. In other words, I called him back
twice.
Mr. HUBERT. You called him back twice on Sunday?
Mrs. CARLIN. Yes; I am talking about when he was talking to me. I would
say, “Jack, are you still there?” Or “Jack,” to get his attention back.
He seemed like he was busy.
