Mr. Hubert. They did not reject your offer of $25,000?
Mrs. Rich. It was to be discussed.
Mr. Hubert. $10,000 was all right.
Mrs. Rich. Yes; $10,000 was offered.
Mr. Hubert. $25,000, which was your counter offer, had to be discussed.
Mrs. Rich. That’s correct.
Mr. Hubert. And they told you they would discuss that and let you know.
Mrs. Rich. With some other people that were higher up.
Mr. Hubert. They told you they were higher up?
Mrs. Rich. Yes; the colonel said that they were higher up. I do not know the exact words.
