Mr. Griffin. I see.
Mr. Eberhardt. And a search warrant was executed and a squad of officers went in there and arrested them all.
Mr. Griffin. When was that?
Mr. Eberhardt. That was when I was in vice, too. Two or three years.
Mr. Griffin. What kind of information did he give you in connection with burglary investigation?
Mr. Eberhardt. I investigated one burglary when his place was burglarized, and I had several complaints at the Vegas Club from them as owners. Out on the street, if we asked him about a particular person—we asked him about 8 or 9 months ago about a safe burglar [deleted]. He said he didn’t know him. If he was on the street, he would come in and call it.
Mr. Griffin. When was that burglary at Ruby’s place?
Mr. Eberhardt. I was working deep nights. He surprised the burglars in his club and ran them out. I was in burglary and theft then for about a year or year and a half. The case wasn’t assigned to me. I was the officer on the scene, being the detective on duty at the time of the occurrence.
Mr. Griffin. Was this at the Carousel Club?
Mr. Eberhardt. Yes.
