Mr. Hubert. Had your landlord been pressing you for the money?
Mrs. Carlin. No. It wasn’t just the rent. It was groceries, too, because my husband wasn’t working at the time.
Mr. Hubert. You had not known Jack Ruby, I take it, prior to the time you first went to work for him?
Mrs. Carlin. No. I had seen Jack Ruby one other time before that, but I didn’t know who he was.
My girl friend and I, a stripper, at the Theatre Lounge, was walking to the bus stop at the Greyhound bus station to get something to eat during our hour break, and we were walking, and this big Cadillac drove up and tooted the horn and my girl friend smiled and it turned out to be Jack Ruby after I met him. I knew who it was. But he left a card on the sidewalk in front of us saying the Carousel Club.
Mr. Hubert. How long before you went to work for him, then, did that episode take place?
Mrs. Carlin. This was about 2 weeks before, because I went home and told my husband about it.
Mr. Hubert. He was driving a Cadillac?
Mrs. Carlin. Yes. There was three of them in the car, two men and one woman. I never did see the man or woman, didn’t recognize them.
Mr. Hubert. Who was driving?
