Mr. Crafard. I believe, that was afterwards, after the first stay there at the club.
Mr. Hubert. Did he give you any instructions as to what to do?
Mr. Crafard. Make up a sign that we’d be closed. He had a closed sign. He said, “Take it down there and put it downstairs about 7:30 or quarter to eight”, and he said, “Wait until the other clubs open. Let them”—he said, I think it was, “Let them damn guys stay open”, or something to that effect, quite similar to the wording there, I’m not sure what the wording was, that wording was.
Mr. Hubert. He got over to you, though, that he was going to close, that he wanted you to prepare and put up a sign, but to do it in such a way that his competitors wouldn’t know he was anticipating that?
Mr. Crafard. That is right.
Mr. Hubert. Did he tell you so in so many words?
Mr. Crafard. He said, wait until they opened before I put it up. He said something like “Let those damn fools open if they want”, or something to that effect, or “Stay open”, or something like that.
Mr. Hubert. Did he give you any other instructions?
Mr. Crafard. That was about it. He asked me where I was going to eat and I told him and he said something about he’d call me in about an hour. He said to go ahead and eat then and he said “I’ll call you in about an hour.”
So he called me—I don’t even remember what he said then. It was just I guess he asked me if there had been any phone calls or something. It wasn’t much. The conversation wasn’t but about a dozen words at most.
