(Testimony of Alice Reaves Nichols)

Mr. Griffin.
What did he say to you when he called you?
Mrs. Nichols.
Well, he just was talking again about the assassination, and he told me at that time that he was going to the synagogue.
Mr. Griffin.
What did he say about the assassination on the second occasion?
Mrs. Nichols.
Well, what a terrible thing it was.
Mr. Griffin.
Well, weren't you again surprised that he should call you?
Mrs. Nichols.
Well, yes; I was.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you ask him?
Mrs. Nichols.
No; I didn't ask him why he called me.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you indicate your surprise to him in any way?
Mrs. Nichols.
I didn't indicate it, no.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he indicate that he would like to see you sometime?
Mrs. Nichols.
No, he never; I can't recall him asking how I had been or anything personal. He didn't say anything.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he ask you how you felt about the assassination?
Mrs. Nichols.
Well, I told him I thought it was terrible, too, and I was quite upset about it.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he ask you for any advice of any sort?
Mrs. Nichols.
No; he didn't.
Mr. Griffin.
You Can't think of any reason why Jack should have called you?
Mrs. Nichols.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
The second time that he called you, did you have any indication of where he was calling from?
Mrs. Nichols.
No; I have no idea where he was calling from.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you hear any voices in the background?
Mrs. Nichols.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Television set on?
Mrs. Nichols.
No; I don't remember hearing any noise.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he tell you how soon he was going to the synagogue?
Mrs. Nichols.
No; he didn't tell me.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he tell you which synagogue he was going to?
Mrs. Nichols.
I don't believe he did. I assumed it was Shearith Israel because that is where he went.
Mr. Griffin.
When you dated Jack, did Jack have any dogs?
Mrs. Nichols.
He got his dog shortly before we stopped going together.
Mr. Griffin.
But up until then, he had never owned a dog?
Mrs. Nichols.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
How did he happen to buy the dog?
Mrs. Nichols.
I think the first dog was given to him by someone.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall who gave it to him?
Mrs. Nichols.
No, I don't know whether he told me or not. Or whether it was anyone that I know. I Just remembered where he got the dog, and it was killed. It was run over a short while after he got it, so he got another one right after that.
Mr. Griffin.
What kind of dog was given to him?
Mrs. Nichols.
It was a dachshund.
Mr. Griffin.
Was the next dog that he got also a dachshund?
Mrs. Nichols.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Up until the time that his dog was given to him, had he expressed any interests in dogs?
Mrs. Nichols.
His sister had a little dog that he I don't know whether he I believe it seemed like he had taken care of it some for her.
Mr. Griffin.
Is that Eva Grant?
Mrs. Nichols.
Yes; she had a dog.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you know a man by the name of Abe Kleinman?
Mrs. Nichols.
Yes; I believe he was a CPA or a bookkeeper. I believe he kept Jack's books, for a period of time.
Mr. Griffin.
How about Floyd Turman, do you know him?
Mrs. Nichols.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you know any police officers with whom Jack was friendly?
Mrs. Nichols.
No; I have seen police officers out there in the club, but I never knew one in particular.
