Mr. Hubert. What happened?
Mrs. Rich. I didn’t like it. For one thing, you were not allowed to keep tips.
Mr. Hubert. Where did you live in New Orleans?
Mrs. Rich. Part of the time down in one of the Sisters’ places, down in the French Quarter, on St. Philip’s Street. And then 1713 Calhoun. That is where my husband died. And various other places which I cannot remember, sir.
Mr. Hubert. What did your husband do for a living while you were in New Orleans?
Mrs. Rich. The last time he had the best position I have ever seen him hold. He was working for a construction company.
Mr. Hubert. Which one?
Mrs. Rich. Oh, dear. Dickie Bennett, Mr. McHane, those were two of his bosses—Mr. White.
Mr. Hubert. What construction was he working on?
Mrs. Rich. Well, he was a mechanic for the heavy equipment. He was just getting a raise and everything when this happened.
