Mr. Ruby. He is my landlord. I lease his home, or rent a home from him.

Mr. Hubert. Where does he live?

Mr. Ruby. He lives in California.

Mr. Hubert. What business is he in?

Mr. Ruby. He is retired, as far as I know. In fact, I have never seen him. I rent through his agent, but I send my checks to him.

Mr. Hubert. Would you have had occasion to call him?

Mr. Ruby. Yes.

Mr. Hubert. What was that about and when was it approximately?

Mr. Ruby. Gee, this was right after I moved in there, last fall, probably September, around in there. When we first rented the place, we wanted to know if it was all right to decorate, and I think that is why I called him.

Mr. Hubert. Coming back to—go ahead.
