United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
“Sunday night” I believe is what he said. We were always open 7 days a
week and this was unusual to me because Jack very seldom ever closed
the club. So I mean this is why I can pretty well remember this. I
could see him staying closed one night, but the other two clubs in
Dallas were opening, so I figured you know that he would.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How did you know that they were?
Mrs. RICHEY. It was in the paper.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Had you checked the newspaper before you called him?
Mrs. RICHEY. I don’t remember that. I must have.
Mr. GRIFFIN. In Irving do you get a Dallas paper?
Mrs. RICHEY. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you subscribe to a Dallas paper at that time?
Mrs. RICHEY. I can’t remember that. I lived with my parents at the
time that this happened, and if there was a Dallas morning newspaper
there, well then it could have been before noon. But if there wasn’t a
morning newspaper there it had to be a Times Herald and that comes in
the afternoon, and I don’t remember which paper I read.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now on Friday or Saturday did you talk with any other
people connected with the Carousel Club except for Andy Armstrong and
Jack Ruby?
Mrs. RICHEY. I don’t know.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you talk with Little Lynn?
Mrs. RICHEY. No. I don’t know any of the showgirls. I mean the only
girls that I was friendly with at all was the other waitresses. I mean
I would talk to them, you know, like that, but as far as really you
know, knowing them or anything like that, well I didn’t. It was just
the other waitresses. And I may have talked to Bonny or Becky, I don’t
remember.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you talk to or see Jack Ruby again after----
Mrs. RICHEY. After I talked to him on Saturday?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
Mrs. RICHEY. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Since then have you talked with anyone or learned anything
about when Jack first got the idea about shooting Lee Oswald?
Mrs. RICHEY. We talked this at the club. I mean everybody was talking
about it. But as far as anybody saying that--when he was going to shoot
Oswald or anything like this, I don’t recall.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you talk with Kathy Kay at all?
Mrs. RICHEY. No. In fact I think I just saw Kathy Kay one time after
the club was reopened--was all that I saw her.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Didn’t she come back to work?
Mrs. RICHEY. No; she didn’t.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How long had she been working there?
Mrs. RICHEY. Longer than I had.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you think it was unusual that she didn’t come back to
work?
Mrs. RICHEY. Well, not really. She went with a policeman in Dallas, so
to me I think this, you know, he would have probably felt that this
would look bad on him for Kathy working there. This was my impression,
I mean.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you know this policeman that she was going with?
Mrs. RICHEY. I don’t know his name and I doubt if I’d know him if I saw
him today, but I mean he had come in the club and I remember he was a
real tall guy, nice built, but I don’t even remember his name.
