Mr. Armstrong. No, no; anybody couldn’t take pictures, if we saw anyone with a camera we would take it away from them—they had to check them.
Mr. Hubert. In other words, it was prohibited to take pictures?
Mr. Armstrong. They was prohibited from taking pictures.
Mr. Hubert. And nobody you knew of could take pictures except Jimmy Rhodes and Rocco and of course you, with your Polaroid?
Mr. Armstrong. Right, but Jimmy Rhodes could not take pictures during business. In other words, when we had customers in the house and there was a show going on, no one could take any pictures but Rocco is the only one I know that made pictures, besides myself, when there was a show going on and we had customers in the club. I’m speaking of before this assassination.
Mr. Hubert. Yes. Did you know Officer Tippit, the man that was shot by Oswald?
Mr. Armstrong. No, sir.
Mr. Hubert. Do you know whether Jack Ruby knew him?
Mr Armstrong. He said that he knew Officer Tippit, but from what I gather later on—Mrs. Grant told me it was a different Officer Tippit that he knew. In other words, there was two officers that had the name of Tippit, from what I gather, and Jack said when the news was coming over the radio about the policeman being shot, that it was Officer Tippit; Jack jumped straight up and said, “I know him—I know him.” Just like that.
Mr. Hubert. What was his reaction to the shooting of Tippit?
