United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. PALMER. Well, she was associated with a young gentleman more nearly
her age who was eager to have her accumulate wealth. What he did to
achieve this, I don’t know. I can only assume.
I believe she thought herself pregnant, or was. I had no proof whether
she was or not. I did see her have convulsions and spasms that I had
seen before and realized that this was more a nervous condition that
often precedes pregnancy, but this seemed to be to me, again, as I say,
a little more of an emotional thing rather than a physiological thing.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You didn’t have any indication that she was taking
narcotics?
Mr. PALMER. I had none. I have none at the present time. By narcotics,
I don’t know what you mean.
Some of the entertainers, the girls have weight problems and often
they are on a, I don’t know what the pill is, it is a black thing that
doctors prescribe. I have seen several eating them, that I know of them.
Mr. GRIFFIN. They are habit forming?
Mr. PALMER. I don’t know. I believe they are. I don’t know what they
are. A friend of mine in a different business is the one that described
them to me.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What was Little Lynn’s boy friend or husband or whatever
he is attempting to do for her?
Mr. PALMER. I had that feeling. I had no proof of that.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Anything else that you think he was attempting to do?
Mr. PALMER. Not that I am aware of, no. I thought that was what it
was, plus having her in a club where he could call as her manager and
probably circulate and pander for her.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you happen to know why Tammi True quit working for Jack
Ruby shortly before the President was assassinated?
Mr. PALMER. She quit several times before. Again, Tammi was quite
critical of Jack’s bookkeeping and frequently overstepped her
boundaries as an employee because of her association with Mr. Paul, I
believe, at that time. She was living with him off and on.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you have occasion to visit any of the nightclubs on
November 22 or November 23?
Mr. PALMER. Could you give me the days of the week?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Well, this would be the Friday night after the President
was assassinated, and the Saturday night.
Mr. PALMER. I would have to look at the records at AGVA. I believe I
did.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall whether you were in Abe’s Colony Club or the
Theatre Lounge on one of those nights?
Mr. PALMER. I probably was. I usually made those clubs as I came
downtown. I don’t recall specifically though.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Specifically, do you have any specific recollection as to
whether those clubs were open on any one of those nights?
Mr. PALMER. Let’s see, President was assassinated on what?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Friday.
Mr. PALMER. Friday. All the clubs were closed on Friday night.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about Saturday?
