Mr. Griffin. Would you read the sentence that you are referring to?
Mrs. Richey. It says:
“Mrs. Ethier has been working at the Carousel since”—no, that is wrong. “She first met Jack Ruby several years ago through her sister.”
I don’t think I said several years ago, because I know now I might have said that but I know that it wasn’t several years, I am sure.
Mr. Griffin. How long before the 22d of November, 1963, did you think you met Jack?
Mrs. Richey. About a year before that, because Janice, we call her Nice and Janice—had been working there for about a year I think. Now these aren’t accurate dates, but about a year. I don’t believe I said several years. I may have. I mean like you said I might have been upset and I was nervous. As far as I know except for that “several years” that is right.
Mr. Griffin. Then is it your best recollection at this time that it is accurate that you called Jack Ruby about noon on Saturday?
Mrs. Richey. That is something else I can’t be sure about. It may have been noon. I just don’t remember. To me it seemed later than that, but it may not have been.
Mr. Griffin. Now how long did you talk with Jack on that occasion?
Mrs. Richey. Not but just a few minutes.
