Mr. Senator. Oh, I have known him; yes.
Mr. Griffin. Even when he ran the Silver Spur, didn’t you?
Mr. Senator. No; I wasn’t living in Dallas then. That is way before my time.
Mr. Griffin. You knew him before he opened the Sovereign Club when he only had the Vegas?
Mr. Senator. Oh, sure. This is the Sovereign Club. Wait a minute. It says shortly after I first met him. My God, this don’t go that far back, and I have known Ruby, unless he could have meant the Vegas Club, I don’t know. Of course, I don’t know how important this is to you either.
Mr. Griffin. Again here I am glad you pointed this out. Here I think that this deposition will clear this up.
Mr. Senator. Now here is one that says I wasn’t able to furnish the individual’s name, but I know it now.
“Ruby had a partner in the operation of the Sovereign Club, but Senator was unable to furnish this individual’s name.”
But we have talked about that name today.
Mr. Griffin. Joe Slayton.
