Mr. Griffin. Can you tell us what you heard?
Mrs. Cheek. I just knew he run a club and I heard people say that he was a good operator, and I figured if he was a good operator and made money, he must have been a good businessman. You don’t make money unless you are a good operator.
Mr. Griffin. Do you recall who it was that told you Jack was a good operator?
Mrs. Cheek. I don’t recall right off.
Mr. Griffin. I take it you had the impression that Jack was able to make money off of his operations?
Mrs. Cheek. That’s right.
Mr. Griffin. Well, do any of your friends or acquaintances or tenants know Jack Ruby?
Mrs. Cheek. Not that I know of.
Mr. Griffin. Do you recall at all who it might have been that had known Jack well enough to tell you that he was running his business well?
Mrs. Cheek. I think it was a policeman that had rented from me that I had talked to occasionally and said something about Jack Ruby’s place. I don’t know just who it was that told me, and their name. I would be talking to someone sometime, and I can’t remember their names to save my life.
