Mr. Hubert. Did you know Mr. Decker prior to the time that Oswald was killed?
Mr. Armstrong. Not too well—well, no, in a way I did and in a way I didn’t.
Mr. Hubert. Well, explain that, please.
Mr. Armstrong. Back when I was a caddymaster at River Hills golf course someone broke in it out there and I was picked up on investigation, which someone else testified to later that they had did it.
Mr. Hubert. At first they thought you had done it?
Mr. Armstrong. Yes—that’s when I first met Mr. Decker.
Mr. Hubert. How often did you see him after you left the penitentiary and until the shooting of Oswald?
Mr. Armstrong. Well, I only saw him—let’s see—we will come back to about January 1962—I had got a job at Marilyn Belt Factory just across from the county jail, and I used to see Mr. Decker, you know, I used to pass him on the street there and I would always speak to him, which he always would speak back, which he would always speak back to everyone who speaks to him whether he knows them or not, and I guess I saw him 10 or 15 times.
Mr. Hubert. Were you ever in his office?
Mr. Armstrong. Not until after the slaying of Lee Oswald, the one time was for the investigation.
