(Testimony of Nancy Monnell Powell)

Mrs. Powell.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Was he prostiting her?
Mrs. Powell.
I don't think so; I really don't know. I didn't care enough to find out that much. I know she was working over here and riding with me, and he just beat on her, and her pregnant, and I don't like it. So I can't like men like that, so I don't care for him too much. As a matter of fact, I absolutely don't like him at all.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he come back with you in the car?
Mrs. Powell.
Back where?
Mr. Griffin.
Back to Fort Worth?
Mrs. Powell.
Yes; we all three went back and went to that club.
Mr. Griffin.
Then did you take them home?
Mrs. Powell.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Does Bruce have a car?
Mrs. Powell.
I think they were supposed to have a car; but it was in the shop or something, because she had been riding with me.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you see anybody there at the club that night that works for Jack; friends of Jack?
Mrs. Powell.
What club?
Mr. Griffin.
The club that you went to with Lynn and Bruce.
Mrs. Powell.
No; just about everybody knows Jack. He knows so many people.
Mr. Griffin.
Did Bruce make any telephone calls from the club that night?
Mrs. Powell.
Not that I recall.
Mr. Griffin.
Did Bruce or Lynn ever say anything to you after Jack shot Oswald that indicated what they had done Sunday morning?
Mrs. Powell.
No; what did they do Sunday morning?
Mr. Griffin.
That is my secret
Mrs. Powell.
Tell me so I will know everything. I know that Jack sent her some money, but I didn't find out from her.
Mr. Griffin.
How did you find out?
Mrs. Powell.
I read it in the papers. I know that he sent some money just before he did that. That is what it said. It said everything in the paper.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you see Kathy Kay after Jack shot Oswald?
Mrs. Powell.
I don't think I saw her. She came to work in Oklahoma City while I was there. She worked up there with me. But I was there 2 weeks before she came up there. She never went back to the club.
Mr. Griffin.
Why didn't she go back?
Mrs. Powell.
Because she didn't want to. Because for one thing, she had this boy friend that she had been going with that was a policeman, and they were going to get married, and his parents didn't know she was an exotic, and her parents didn't know she was an exotic---and there was some guy from England--reporters came to her apartment and wanted to interview her, and she didn't want her family in England to know she is an exotic dancer, and she didn't want to be involved in it.
Mr. Griffin.
What did she tell you about her contacts with Jack over the weekend?
Mrs. Powell.
I don't recall that she told me anything about it. She was planning on going back to work when he opened the club, but before he opened the club, he did this other thing, so she never did go back. She told Ralph that she wasn't going to come back.
Mr. Griffin.
How about her husband?
Mrs. Powell.
Whose?
Mr. Griffin.
Kathy's husband?
Mrs. Powell.
She wasn't married then.
Mr. Griffin.
You mean she the guy she did marry, this fellow?
Mrs. Powell.
That is what they said.
Mr. Griffin.
You mean she was living with him as man and wife?
Mrs. Powell.
Yes; I guess they got married. They said they got married.
Mr. Griffin.
Was he up there in Oklahoma City with her?
Mrs. Powell.
No; he stayed here.
