Mr. Griffin. You say a year or year and a half. Do you mean a year or year and a half ago or after you went on B. and T.?
Mr. Eberhardt. A year ago from now.
Mr. Griffin. So that would have taken it to early 1963 or late 1962?
Mr. Eberhardt. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. Did Jack have a safe in his club at that time?
Mr. Eberhardt. No. It was a metal filing cabinet they pried, came in the back door, came up the fire escape. He had closed the place, went to eat, went back for his dogs, and when he came back, they were there, the burglars were there. They didn’t get away with any of the loot, and they were later filed on, I believe.
Mr. Griffin. What did Jack do when he surprised them?
Mr. Eberhardt. He called the police.
Mr. Griffin. Did he fight with them or anything?
Mr. Eberhardt. No. They got out. He had a gun with him.
