Mr. Hubert. That’s exactly what happened and nothing more?
Mr. Graves. And nothing more or nothing less.
Mr. Hubert. Thank you very much.
Mr. Graves. That’s all?
Mr. Hubert. Yes; that’s all. I hate to bring you down for something like this, but we had to do it to get it clear.
Mr. Graves. That’s all right—that’s all right.
