United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you know why she quit?
Mrs. RICHEY. Well, I don’t know why she quit; but that was the same
day--something was in the newspapers about her and right now I don’t
remember what it was, because there was quite a bit about her in the
newspaper.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was that the time she carried the gun into the courtroom?
Mrs. RICHEY. That might have been it. I don’t remember really, because
there was one time that she was kidnaped or lost or ran away or
something and they get confused in my mind and I am not real sure.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you talk with her, Little Lynn that is, at all after
Oswald was shot?
Mrs. RICHEY. If I did I don’t remember what was said or if I even did
talk to her. I am not real sure.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Have you heard anything which would indicate what
information she may have had that Ruby was going to shoot Oswald?
Mrs. RICHEY. No; I hadn’t even heard anything to that effect.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Have you heard anything about how she happened to make the
telephone call to Ruby? Did you know that she made a telephone call to
Ruby early Sunday morning?
Mrs. RICHEY. For rent?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
Mrs. RICHEY. Isn’t that why she called him? I read that in the paper?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you ever talk with her about it?
Mrs. RICHEY. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you ever hear any of her story about why she called
him?
Mrs. RICHEY. No; that was the only reason I knew was that she needed
some rent, and the way it went in the paper was that Jack went down to
the telegraph office before he went to shoot Oswald to send her the
money.
Mr. GRIFFIN. This is a repetitive question. I ask you again do you
recall on Friday or Saturday seeing anybody else from the Carousel Club
besides Jack Ruby?
Mrs. RICHEY. I didn’t see anybody.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Or talking. You didn’t see anybody and you didn’t talk to
anybody besides----
Mrs. RICHEY. Not unless it was Bonny or Becky and I may have talked to
them.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Who are Bonny or Becky?
Mrs. RICHEY. They are waitresses at the club.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What is Bonny’s last name?
Mrs. RICHEY. I don’t know. Becky’s is Jones.
Mr. GRIFFIN. So at the time on the 22d there were four waitresses at
the club, Dianna Hunter, Becky Jones, Bonny and yourself?
Mrs. RICHEY. I don’t remember if Dianna was dancing or if she was
waitressing. I am not real sure about that even right now. She was
doing one or the other. She was there. I just can’t remember which one
it was.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Well now did the girls, while they were employed as
dancers, also serve as waitresses to some extent?
Mrs. RICHEY. There was one girl that did.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Who was that?
Mrs. RICHEY. I don’t remember her name. The first time I ever met her,
she was an amateur dancer.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was Jack employing her as an amateur?
