Mr. Hubert. When he had the argument with Sam which led to his leaving the Earl Products Co., did he intend then to go to Dallas? Was that one of the causes for his leaving?
Mr. Ruby. I don’t know what was in his mind. I don’t remember. I just don’t know.
Mr. Hubert. How was he paid?
Mr. Ruby. We paid him a lump sum, about $14,000 or $15,000, so when he left he had quite a bit of money.
Mr. Hubert. In cash?
Mr. Ruby. Yes; he had quite a bit of money.
Mr. Hubert. And he left for Dallas shortly thereafter?
Mr. Ruby. Yes; very shortly thereafter he left.
Mr. Hubert. That would have been what year, sir; about?
Mr. Ruby. I think 1947; 1947.
