Mr. Jenner. The boys who were sitting around?
Mr. Thornley. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Engaged in scuttlebutt?
Mr. Thornley. Right. He was smirking as he said this and he said it very gently. He didn't seem to be a glass-eyed fanatic by any means.
Mr. Jenner. Did you have occasion to discuss the same subject thereafter?
Mr. Thornley. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. From time to time?
Mr. Thornley. From time to time.
Mr. Jenner. Was it reasonably frequent?
Mr. Thornley. I would say about a half dozen times in that time period.
