He was negotiating with Mr. Bayse.
Mr. Griffin. Was he actually running the school for strippers or was this a promotion idea?
Mr. Beers. Mr. Griffin, this is an opinion. I don’t think Mr. Ruby actually ran a stripper school.
As I worked throughout the day, it seemed fairly apparent to me that there was no school in operation there, I don’t think. That is strictly an opinion.
Mr. Ruby did run an amateur night, and from what information I think I absorbed there, it appeared that these girls must have, part of them practiced in some of his amateur and semiregularly at his place, and it didn’t appear to be a school.
Mr. Griffin. Was he running an amateur night at the time you were taking these photographs?
Mr. Beers. I was not familiar with the club prior to that.
Mr. Griffin. But at the time you took these photographs, did you have the understanding that he had run an amateur night?
Mr. Beers. I got that impression; yes, sir, that he had some amateur nights there.
