Mr. Crafard. No; it was an absolute failure.
Mr. Hubert. You mean people didn’t flock to it?
Mr. Crafard. We went bankrupt, they went broke.
Mr. Hubert. You mean they closed before the fair closed?
Mr. Crafard. Yes, sir; it was only open for about a week. I had heard rumors to the effect that Mr. Craven had wrote a lot of bad checks to start with.
Mr. Hubert. Were you paid any salary by them?
Mr. Crafard. Mostly about all I got from them was expenses. It was supposed to be $5 a day but about all I got was my meals and cigarettes furnished.
Mr. Hubert. You got money from them?
Mr. Crafard. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Well, did it actually close its doors and stop operating before the fair closed?
