Mr. Griffin. I am sure we don’t want to go back that far. Well, let me see what we can work out, with the Secret Service or the Bureau, and then I will either contact you myself about it or I will ask someone of the agents to do it, and I think it could be done fairly simply. I know in the past that photographers can set the camera on a kitchen table and run these things through. I take it then when Jack Ruby contacted you in connection with buying out a part of the Carousel Club, that he got your name from somebody?
Mrs. Cheek. I was looking at a piece of property over on Maple Avenue when Olen Alexander or Bob Shockley, two more agents called me about buying the place myself. I went over to look at the building and they asked me what would go in the building, and I think a nice nightclub, it is in the neighborhood like it would, so I guess they gave it to Jack Ruby because when I mentioned the nightclub, because I said I might even invest in it myself, I was so sold on it, so Jack Ruby called me and asked me if I would invest in it. Not this particular piece of property. He didn’t tell me where he had this location, but I just know that that was how he got my name.
Mr. Griffin. Now, are we talking about your most recent discussion with Jack or the first one?
Mrs. Cheek. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. Let’s talk about the first time you contacted Jack.
Mrs. Cheek. He had it for sale.
Mr. Griffin. He had the Carousel for sale?
Mrs. Cheek. Yes; and I had someone that was interested in a night club, so I went down to see about it, see how much he would sell it for, and he said $12,500. I said that was too much. My conversation was very short, and I left.
Mr. Griffin. All right, you met him at the Carousel?
Mrs. Cheek. Yes.
