Mrs. Powell. I rode with Ralph to the Bull Pen, and I got my car and went home, and I stayed there. Well, he didn’t want to be bothered by reporters and all that, because they were poking around, so he went to some friend’s house to stay.
Mr. Griffin. How do you know that?
Mrs. Powell. Because he called me and told me where he was going to be. He said he didn’t want to be bothered with a bunch of reporters, because Ralph took it pretty hard, because he liked Jack quite a bit and he took it pretty hard. So he went over to this friend’s house and he was over there, and then he went someplace else, and the FBI came and got him. And this Rose woman that worked for him, she cried and said he is like her father.
Mr. Griffin. Did he call Ralph, Johnny, at the Bull Pen?
Mrs. Powell. No; Johnny is Rose’s husband. Rose was crying and called me up and was real upset, and the FBI had taken him and questioned him and wanted me to come over, and I had an interview on TV that night. She wanted me to come over there and go with her. She was crying and hysterical, so I went back to Arlington and got her, and we came to the police station, and they didn’t have him down there, so we got back in the car and went down to the FBI. They wanted to talk to me, because they asked Rose, when they got Ralph, if I was with him. So I went down and he questioned me and questioned her, and we went back to Arlington. They had taken him to the Arlington police station and questioned him. So then we went home and went to bed.
Mr. Griffin. When did you hear from Lynn?
Mrs. Powell. She called me that day that it happened, sometime during the time.
Mr. Griffin. What did she have to say?
Mrs. Powell. I am not even sure that it was Lynn; whether it was Lynn or Bruce. I don’t know. Just the same thing everybody was saying, “Did you know that Jack did this, and what do you think about it?” You know; what everybody asked.
Mr. Griffin. Did she mention anything to you about having talked with him that morning?
