United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was it your understanding that she was living with this
policeman before the 22d of November?
Mrs. RICHEY. That was my impression.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How did you get that impression?
Mrs. RICHEY. Other girls talking.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you know where they were living?
Mrs. RICHEY. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Had you heard anything to the effect that they were living
near Jack?
Mrs. RICHEY. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did she come to work at all after, Kathy Kay? Did she come
to work at all to your recollection after Jack shot Oswald?
Mrs. RICHEY. I quit work the day before New Year’s, wasn’t it, because
I wouldn’t work New Year’s night--yes, and from the time that Oswald
was killed--the time I quit--she hadn’t worked again, but I had seen
her one time, and I believe that she had come after her costumes, but
I can’t even be real sure about that but it seems like that is why she
was there and she was crying. I remember that. I don’t know why she was
crying. Now she talked to some of the other waitresses but I never did
find out why she was crying.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Can you give us the names of the other waitresses who
talked with her?
Mrs. RICHEY. Was Dianna a waitress? Let me clarify myself. Dianna is a
waitress; but she also was a showgirl.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Is that Dianna Hunter?
Mrs. RICHEY. Yes; he knows them better than I do. She also worked as
a waitress and a showgirl too. Now this is the only one that I know
anything about, but like I say only the waitresses. And I believe she
talked to her. It seems like there was two, but I don’t remember the
other one.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you actually see Kathy Kay crying or did you hear that
she was?
Mrs. RICHEY. I sat down at the table that they were sitting at. It
seems like there was three girls sitting there and I sat down and
somebody came in the door and I got up. She had a Kleenex and a cup of
coffee or tea or something in a cup and she was wiping tears away.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How long was that after Oswald was shot; how many days?
Mrs. RICHEY. I don’t remember that; not even approximately. It couldn’t
have been too long though. I don’t even know.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When did you first go to work after Oswald was shot?
Mrs. RICHEY. I can’t remember if I went to work Monday or Tuesday. The
same night the club opened I went back to work, and I can’t remember
now if that was the following Monday. It seems like it was, but it may
have been Tuesday. I don’t know.
Mr. GRIFFIN. By the following Monday you mean the very next day?
Mrs. RICHEY. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Or the day after.
Mrs. RICHEY. The same week that it happened.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you see this boy friend that Kathy Kay was going with
at all after Oswald was shot?
Mrs. RICHEY. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did Little Lynn continue to work at the club after Oswald
was shot?
Mrs. RICHEY. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did she work there until you left in January?
Mrs. RICHEY. No; she quit before I quit. Now I don’t know when she
quit, but she quit before I did.
