(Testimony of Norman Earl Wright)

Mr. Griffin.
tended the Presidential motorcade, and yet at the same time was very upset over the assassination?
Mr. Wright.
Well, like I said before, Jack was a peculiar man. To analyze his thinking within a period of an hour, would take a mass of brains to do because he never actually--Jack did things like this, where other people would think them out [snapping fingers].
I have seen him argue and get mad with somebody for no reason at all, just because of what they said or the way they acted just hit him the wrong way. And to say why he would do this and not do this, I couldn't say. As long as I knew him, he still mystified me.
Mr. Griffin.
Were you ever with Jack when he had a gun with him?
Mr. Wright.
Yes; he carried a gun in a bank bag on the seat of his car when he went to the bank.
Mr. Griffin.
Was it his custom to carry the gun in his pocket?
Mr. Wright.
Not to my knowledge.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you ever have occasion to drive Jack's automobile?
Mr. Wright.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you know whether Jack had any particular practice concerning where he kept his car keys?
Mr. Wright.
No; I imagine in his pocket because I know he kept a lot of his money from the night's receipts. He put his money--a lot of the time I have seen him put his money in the trunk of his car.
Mr. Griffin.
Was Kathy Kay working for Jack Ruby when you worked for him?
Mr. Wright.
Yes; in fact, we started her off as a professional entertainer when I was there.
Mr. Griffin.
Was that the first time that you worked for him that she started?
Mr. Wright.
Yes; well, she did a couple of amateur shows, and then he put her to work as a regular dancer.
Mr. Griffin.
But she had worked for him then, I take it, since sometime in 1961?
Mr. Wright.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
How about Tammi True, was she working for Jack when you worked for him?
Mr. Wright.
Well, she came later on. I worked with Tammi, I don't know exactly what month, but I have worked with her. I worked there with Millie Perelle, and worked there with Lee Sharon. I was trying to think of the girl that was there when I first came there. She is quite a good dancer. I can't remember her name. But Kathy Kay, Jack put into the business, as far as a professional dancer.
Mr. Griffin.
At the time the President was shot, was Kathy Kay a dancer who had worked for Jack the longest of any of the ones he had?
Mr. Wright.
I believe so, to my best knowledge, because you got to understand I was in and out of town a lot of times, too, and I don't know whether the girls were there. I know she was there most of the time when I came back into Dallas, so I just assumed that she had been there all the time.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you know how Little Lynn happened to leave the employ of the Weinsteins and go to work for Jack?
Mr. Wright.
I have no idea; because I was not working for Jack at the time.
Mr. Griffin.
Was Little Lynn working for the Weinsteins?
Mr. Wright.
Yes; I was working for Barney when she came to work for Barney, and I believe, I am not quite sure, I know she didn't show up for 2 or 3 nights or something, or didn't come to work, and didn't call or anything, and Barney fired her. I assume that is the reason she went to work for Jack.
Mr. Griffin.
I am going to hand you what I have marked for identification as Norman E. Wright Deposition, July 24, 1964, Exhibit No. 1 This is a document that consists of three pages numbered at the bottom as 556, 557, and 558. It purports to be a copy of an interview report which was prepared by FBI Agent Lloyd D. Johnson, and Agent Aldo A. Giannechhini, after they had an interview with you on November 26.
