Mr. ARMSTRONG. About a week, I would say.
Mr. HUBERT. You didn’t let me finish my question--how long before the
assassination of the President did her contract expire, so that she
left or quit about a week, you say?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. About a week.
Mr. HUBERT. And she had been there for some time?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. She had been there--she was there when I got there and
she was booked there off and on all while I was there.
Mr. HUBERT. What about Sal Ember?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. That’s not Sal Ember--that should have been--you see,
some of the letters are missing--this was--this should be Cindy Embers.
Mr. HUBERT. Let’s take the top line first--the pictures, Exhibits
5300-A and 5300-B show on the top line the letters [spelling] S-a-l.
You say that that was wrong and it should be something else and that
some letters are missing?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. What should it have been?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Well, the Sal should have been Sal Vincent.
Mr. HUBERT. Vincent [spelling] V-i-n-c-e-n-t?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Something like that--I think so.
Mr. HUBERT. Who was Sal Vincent?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. A comedian.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, the next name that appears on Exhibits 5300-A and
5300-B in the sign in the background below the word [spelling] S-a-l,
is the word Ember [spelling] E-m-b-e-r, and I think you said that’s
wrong too, because of the absence of letters?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. What should have been the letters?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Cindy Embers.
Mr. HUBERT. Cindy [spelling] C-i-n-d-y?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Embers [spelling] E-m-b-e-r-s?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. And who was that?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. A stripper.
Mr. HUBERT. Was she there at the time of the assassination?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No.
Mr. HUBERT. When did she leave?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. She left sometime ago--back, I think, the last time she
was booked there was back in the summer. She never worked there over 3
or 4 weeks.
Mr. HUBERT. And what about Sal Vincent?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. He did--the first month after Wally Weston left.
Mr. HUBERT. When did Sal Vincent leave, how long before the death of
the President?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. About a month, I would say.
Mr. HUBERT. And how long had he been there?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. About a month.
Mr. HUBERT. And now, is it safe to say then, that these two pictures,
Exhibits 5300-A and 5300-B must have been taken during the month of
October 1903?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. Because that’s the only time when that sign would have made
sense as to when those people were there?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. You don’t recall the occasion when these pictures were
taken?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Mr. Armstrong, it is necessary for us to recess your
deposition for a short period of time and during this recess will you
please examine the other pictures I have shown you and then we will
resume your deposition later.
(Short recess.)
Mr. HUBERT. Now, Mr. Armstrong, we discontinued or recessed your
deposition about 20 minutes to a half hour ago.
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. And now we are recommencing it and you understand, of
course, that this is just merely a continuation of the deposition under
the same authority under which it began, and that you must consider
yourself under the same oath that you were at first?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I show you a group of five pictures marked Exhibits
5301-A, B, C, D, and E. I have placed on the back of them “Dallas,
Texas, April 14, 1964, Deposition of Andrew Armstrong,” and signed my
name and I have given each one an exhibit number as indicated. Now, I
would like for you to look at those pictures for a while and then I am
going to ask you some questions concerning them.
