Mr. HUBERT. Now, you are talking about the memo slip on the right-hand
side of the pictures as you look at it, the picture having been
identified as Exhibit 5306-B. Now, will you comment on that?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. All right.
Mr. HUBERT. I had asked you whether the message meant anything to you.
You seemed to indicate that the message on the picture I have described
does indicate something to you, and now I ask you what does it indicate?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No; I’m sorry. I made a mistake--it doesn’t, but this
one here, the one in the center, I think that’s Palmer--Tom Palmer.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, you are referring to the middle slip on the picture
identified as Exhibit 5306-A, and you say the message there you
recognize; right?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. What makes you recognize it?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. The telephone number and the name.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, the memo slip that you are talking about, and I
repeat for identification, that it is the middle memo slip on Exhibit
No. 5306-A, apparently is addressed to Ruby because it has his name
there, although one can see in the picture, can’t one, that there was
a word that looks like somebody started to write “Armstrong” and then
stopped--right--or something?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. And the date is 11-14 at 3:40, and then there was printed
“while you were out Pauline [spelling] P-a-u-l-i-n-e phoned, FE
7-5992.” It looks like.
And then there is a checkmark in the block “telephoned” and a checkmark
in the block “please call” and the message is: “This one I couldn’t
tell if she was colored or white,” is that correct?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, you identified that with Palmer?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. It looked like it.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, if you were mistaken, say so?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes; I was mistaken.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you have any recollection of that message now?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Was there any that you had any recognition about, any one
of the six memo slips on the Exhibits 5306-A and 5306-B?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I will show you an exhibit that has been identified as
Exhibit 5307-A. It is a picture of one slip of paper, and I ask you if
you could identify that?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No.
Mr. HUBERT. All right; now I show you photostats of a number of pages
in a book, which have been identified the other day when you first were
here: “Dallas, Texas, April 14, 1964, Exhibits 5308, Deposition of
Andrew Armstrong,” and I ask you to look at all those pictures first,
and tell me if you recognize that book at all?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. I’ve already looked at them.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you recognize it?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. What about it do you recognize? What book was that?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. This is a little notebook that Larry carried around and
took messages on and wrote checks, phone numbers, and things down on.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you ever see it before?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Where?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. At the club.
Mr. HUBERT. Where was it at the club--where was it kept?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Larry kept it in his pocket, although, when he left, he
left it there with him.
Mr. HUBERT. He left it where?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. He left it at the club.
Mr. HUBERT. He left it with you?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No, no; he just left it at the club.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, when you came back to the club, the day
after Larry left, to clean up, I think you found some other things of
his and you found that too?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Or, did you find that at another time?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Not that same day. No; I didn’t find it then--it was
later.
Mr. HUBERT. When did you find it?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Sometime after the club opened back up--I don’t know
whether it was Monday or Tuesday--whatever day the FBI’s came up this
day, I found this.
Mr. HUBERT. Where was it?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. It was in the room where he slept.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you find it on the same day that you found the letters?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes; I think so.
Mr. HUBERT. They were together?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. And you turned them over to the FBI?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I think you said you have looked over that book
already--the other day?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Is there anything significant about that book you wish to
comment upon?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. No; I can recognize a few names in it.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you recall if they were names of any people that you
have not so far mentioned in your deposition?
