United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. You mean that is on the front door?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes; on the front door.
Mr. HUBERT. That is the $2 admission charge?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes; that is right.
Mr. HUBERT. And what other jobs did you do?
Mr. SENATOR. Whatever errands he wanted me to do during the course
of the daytime, if he wanted me to pick up something here or pick
up something there or buy something that he needed for the club, go
shopping and things of that nature, whatever it might be.
Mr. HUBERT. You didn’t do the clean-up jobs?
Mr. SENATOR. No. He had a clean-up boy.
Mr. HUBERT. Who was he?
Mr. SENATOR. His name was Andrew Armstrong I believe it was.
Mr. HUBERT. Was he there when you first went there?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes. He was with Jack quite awhile. He was with Jack, I
think he was with Jack before I was there, yes, and he was there until
the time the club closed down.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you travel around with Jack during this period when you
were unemployed and he was helping you out and you were helping him out
by doing errands and so forth? I mean when you got up in the morning
did you both go together? Did you move together or how was it?
Mr. SENATOR. It all depends. First of all he slept pretty good. He
slept pretty late. He liked to sleep. And he used to get up in the
afternoon and mess around, sit around the apartment. If the weather
was right, I mean if it happened to be summertime, he is a great fan
for swimming. Or he’d just mope around the place or hang around the
apartment house.
Mr. HUBERT. What I am trying to get at is whether your helping him out
at the club was a regular thing or just done once in a while.
Mr. SENATOR. No; I was doing it regularly. As long as he was keeping me
up, I had to do something, see.
Mr. HUBERT. That is what I had in mind.
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you go to the club at the same time that he did?
Mr. SENATOR. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you leave at the same time that he did?
Mr. SENATOR. I would leave when he left.
Mr. HUBERT. Because you were both going back to the same house?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. What about going there? You went earlier?
Mr. SENATOR. Oh, yes; I left earlier. In other words he could sit in
the apartment longer than I could.
Mr. HUBERT. What time did you normally go to work then?
Mr. SENATOR. He would always make me go in in early, somewheres around
between 7 and 8. He wanted me to see that things were set up.
Mr. HUBERT. You never had to go in midafternoon though?
Mr. SENATOR. Oh, no; unless if we did go in midafternoon, which was
rare, probably maybe to feed the dogs or something like that.
Mr. HUBERT. Who took care of the reservations and all other matters of
that sort?
Mr. SENATOR. Andrew.
Mr. HUBERT. What time did Andrew get there?
