Mr. HUBERT. Wait a minute, before we leave the big man called Tiny,
when was the last time you saw him, to your knowledge?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Three or four nights ago--Saturday night--I think.
Mr. HUBERT. You mean this past Saturday night?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. You are talking about April 11?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Where did you see him?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. At the Theatre Lounge.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you work there now?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No, I stopped by and say hello to a friend of mine that
works there and bartends.
Mr. HUBERT. And he was over there?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. I have saw him in there, oh, about four times I think in
the last month--I would say.
Mr. HUBERT. And prior to that, when was the last time you saw him?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Prior to that--the last time I saw him was at the club.
Mr. HUBERT. When was that?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Oh, I would say it was probably the last weekend before
we closed.
Mr. HUBERT. He continued to come to the club, then, after the
assassination?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you ever talk to him about Ruby’s shooting Oswald?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you ever hear him talk to anybody else about it?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No, never did. The reason why he’s got to be so popular
is because he is a helper--he cracks a few jokes and the M.C.’s like to
talk to him because he don’t get out of line when they talk to him, and
he is usually called on during the spinning of the roulette wheel, or
something like that, and if he won a bottle of champagne or something
like that, it was a big thing.
Mr. HUBERT. Was he employed by the club?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No, he wasn’t employed, he was just a regular customer
that has very nice conduct and has a good sense of humor.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, the M.C.’s figure they can always get a
kick out of him, which would amuse the audience?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I show you a picture which is marked for
identification as Exhibit 5303-1, and ask you if that is not that same
fat man on the right-hand middle of the picture, with a white shirt,
with his right hand on his hip and the left hand leaning on the stage
right by the microphone?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. That’s the man, Tiny, that you have identified as being in
Exhibit 5303-A; is that correct?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. And while we are looking at Exhibit 5303-I, who is the girl
dancing there?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Kathy Kay.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you recognize anybody else in the picture?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. The waitress over there.
Mr. HUBERT. You mean the one with the white blouse?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. And she has dark hair; you can’t see her face, but you can
see the back of her figure.
Mr. ARMSTRONG. I think it’s Bonnie.
Mr. HUBERT. Bonnie who?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Bonnie Kelley is all I know.
Mr. HUBERT. That girl you are identifying is in the left middle of the
picture; right?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Right behind the man with the gray suit and with his left
hand by his mouth and a cigarette in his left hand; is that right?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. That’s correct; and this is Tiny’s usual position--his
usual sitting position--he always gets this table right here
[indicating].
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I wish you would just take these pictures, starting
with Exhibit 5303-B, and just state for the record who is in the
picture that you know, identifying each of the particular frames, by
saying whether it is in the top row, second row, third row, or fourth
row, and then whether it is on the left-hand side, the middle, or the
right-hand side.
Mr. ARMSTRONG. On the top row on the left-hand side is Tammi True. On
the top row in the middle is Tammi True.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, now, perhaps we could shorten this by putting it this
way: On this number of pictures, 12 to be exact, of Exhibit 5303-B, the
girl who is doing the act is Tammi True--right--in all of them?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No.
Mr. HUBERT. It isn’t?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. On the series of pictures in the left line down from the
top to bottom and in the middle from top to bottom is Tammi True. The
pictures on the right-hand side--the brighter pictures--are Joy Dale.
Mr. HUBERT. All four of them?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. All four of them.
Mr. HUBERT. On the right-hand side?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. You have identified the pictures on Exhibit 5303-B?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, will you look at Exhibit 5303-C? There are 12 pictures
on that, and they are all the same girl?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. They are all the same girl, Kathy Kay.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you recognize anyone else in there?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No one else.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, take Exhibit 5303-D. There are 12 pictures in that and
they are all of the same girl?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes; they are all the same girl.
Mr. HUBERT. Who is she?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Little Lynn.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I’ll ask you to look at Exhibit 5303-E. There are 12
pictures on that, showing various poses of a girl, is it all the same
girl?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes; all the same girl.
Mr. HUBERT. Who is it?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Joy Dale.
Mr. HUBERT. Is there anybody else in there you recognize?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No one else.
Mr. HUBERT. Then, take the next picture, which has been identified as
Exhibit 5303-F, also consisting of 12 pictures, except that in the
second row the middle picture is blank, so that there are really only
11 pictures, and I ask you if the same girl is in all those pictures;
that is to say, the dancer?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, then, let’s take the left-hand row from top to
bottom. Is it the same girl in those four pictures?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Same girl.
Mr. HUBERT. Who is that?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Kathy Kay.
Mr. HUBERT. And in the middle series there is a top picture and the
next one down is blank and then the third and fourth rows from the top,
there are two others--who is in those pictures?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Kathy Kay.
Mr. HUBERT. In all of them?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. All of them.
Mr. HUBERT. Then, move to the right-hand row; there are four pictures
from the top down, and will you identify them? Are they different girls
in those pictures?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No; that’s Little Lynn.
Mr. HUBERT. They are all of Little Lynn?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Is there anybody else in there you recognize in those
pictures?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Just a waitress in the bottom picture.
Mr. HUBERT. In the bottom right-hand picture; right?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. The girl with dark glasses on, on the right-hand side of
that picture?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Correct.
Mr. HUBERT. Does she have shorts on, or something?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. She has some white slacks on.
Mr. HUBERT. And a black sweater?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Who is that?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Bonnie Kelley.
Mr. HUBERT. I think that’s the girl you identified in a previous
picture; is that right?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. Anybody else you recognize?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No; no one else.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I show you a group of 12 pictures identified as
Exhibit 5303-G, and ask you if the same girl is in all of those
pictures?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. The same girl.
Mr. HUBERT. Who is the girl?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Tammi True.
Mr. HUBERT. Anybody else you recognize in any of those pictures?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Then, I show you an exhibit marked 5303-H, also a group of
12 pictures, and ask you to start with the row of 4 pictures on the
right-hand side from the top to the bottom; who is in those 4 pictures?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Kathy Kay.
Mr. HUBERT. Kathy Kay?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No, no; on the right-hand side?
Mr. HUBERT. On the right-hand side.
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No; this is Joy Dale.
Mr. HUBERT. She is in all four of those?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. All four of them.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, take the middle row; who is the girl in those?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Kathy Kay.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you recognize the man?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No.
Mr. HUBERT. No; the left-hand row of four pictures--the two from the
top--the first and second pictures from the top, can you identify those
people?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Kathy Kay.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, the lower pictures on the left-hand row; there are two
people, a man and a girl; who are they?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. That’s Kathy Kay; I don’t know who the man is.
Mr. HUBERT. Was he employed by the club?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, Mr. Armstrong, we have been taking your deposition all
day and it is now 5:15 p.m., and I suggest that we adjourn and that you
come back Thursday morning--can you do that--or Thursday afternoon?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Can you come in without any further notice on Thursday,
April 16?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. All right; we will recess your deposition until that time
and complete it on Thursday, April 16.
