He states that, he met Jack Ruby at the Club and knew him because he was handing out
£ cards to the Carrosel Club, Merritk states ddoofc that he took a carlri but that he never
had time to go visit the club. Merrick also states that he is so busy that he don't
have time td read the news papers or watch TV or listen td> the radio. Merriclc says
that on one occasion there was a man with Jack Ruby and he thinks Jack introduced him
as Oswald but would not be positive. However KMX. he says -when he saw a picture of
Oswald in the paper that he remarked to some one that I think I have met that man
some -where but could not remember Sor some time just where it was. He later recall®
that it was the man Jack IS introduced him too. "When asked who else was there and
could verify this or might remember him, Merrick could not remember any one that
j saw this man with Jack.
We also XXX talked *ith the manager and assistant manager of the Club they also stated
they remembered Jack Ruby because of the cards that he was always passing out. JThey
did not think that it was the proper place for him to do thatf As they have a high
class clientel. The assistant manager says that Jack also told him that if he ever
wanted fixed up that he would fix him up with this "Jata Jata" He told him that he
was not interested and besides his wife was standing close by•

don't think he is as busy as he says he is, for another he and a friend of his is putting
in a joint some where here that he wants to keep real hush hush A lounge I believe.
