Mr. Pullman. I think—about 6 or 8 weeks.
Mr. Griffin. And how did she happen to leave?
Mr. Pullman. She didn’t happen to leave—it was just too confusing—the confusion was constant and she couldn’t do things the way they should be run because she had a pretty good idea of how to run a club and she would try to help him and it seemed like he didn’t want to accept any help as far as his operations were concerned and he wanted to do it all himself.
Mr. Griffin. So, what actually, did she wind up doing for him?
Mr. Pullman. Just being a general hostess and seating people and trying to be of service to whoever came in—that was all; and I used to come up there evenings and spend a couple of hours and we got real close—real friendly. And I watched the way he operated and I knew his personality very quickly—he was very hot tempered and I was there one night when he personally threw someone out because he had said something derogatory about Kennedy.
Mr. Griffin. When was that?
Mr. Pullman. It was during the time my wife worked there and I also found in talking to him that he couldn’t take anybody who was going to talk against Kennedy or the administration or the Government. Later I learned from other people that he felt the same way about Roosevelt.
Mr. Griffin. On this one instance, what specifically was said on the occasion when he threw somebody out?
Mr. Pullman. It was about—the MC was making some remark about Barry Goldwater and some other things like that, and someone made some derogatory remarks about Kennedy—I don’t remember the exact words—and he didn’t like what he said about Kennedy.
Mr. Griffin. Did the person use profanity?
