Mr. Specter. Was there anybody besides Johnny and Kay and Jack Ruby?
Mr. Olsen. Not that I remember.
Mr. Specter. Tell me as specifically as you can recall exactly what it was that Ruby said and what it was that you and Kay and Johnny said in reply to him?
Mr. Olsen. We were all upset about the President’s assassination, and we were just talking about how we hated it, that it was a tragedy.
Mr. Specter. Did Jack Ruby say something to that effect?
Mr. Olsen. Yes; very strongly.
Mr. Specter. Do you recall what his exact words were, by any chance?
Mr. Olsen. I believe he said something to the effect that “It’s too bad that a peon,” or a person like Oswald, “could do something like that,” referring to shooting the President and the officer, Officer Tippit.
Mr. Specter. Did he say anything more about Oswald at that time?
Mr. Olsen. He cursed him.
