Mr. Griffin. Did he tell you anything about his experience in other places he decorated?
Mrs. Cheek. Yes; one or two places; but I really didn’t pay any attention to what locations. I was just listening to Mr. Ruby on what his deal was on the investment I was supposed to make, and whether or not I would like it or not, and I told him I could manage a business, too. And I said, “I don’t think that I would want to go in with anyone and put $6,000 and you put $1,000. You would have to come fifty-fifty.”
Mr. Griffin. What did Jack indicate was his response?
Mrs. Cheek. He said he couldn’t do it.
Mr. Griffin. Could you tell from his response whether he meant that he didn’t want to do it or that he couldn’t afford to do it, or what he meant by that?
Mrs. Cheek. Well, he did say he didn’t have the money.
Mr. Griffin. Did he say he didn’t have the money?
Mrs. Cheek. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. Now had you inquired about Jack Ruby from other people?
Mrs. Cheek. No.
