Mr. Jenner. Did you make any effort?
Mr. Weissman. I made a lot of effort. This is where most of my money went—for gas and things like that.
Mr. Jenner. Your associate, Mr. Burley, was he a salesman for this company also?
Mr. Weissman. He quit about 2 weeks—about several days before the 22d. And he was looking—of course, one of us had to make money. We both were blanking out with the carpets.
Mr. Jenner. I take it, however, he had been employed by the same carpet company?
Mr. Weissman. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. You made application together, did you?
Mr. Weissman. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. And you were both employed at approximately the same time?
Mr. Weissman. That is right.
