Mr. Ruby. No.

Mr. Hubert. Did you have occasion to lend him any money at any time?

Mr. Ruby. No. [I remember that my brother was going into business with Ralph Paul and Jack was supposed to put in $6,000 which he did not have at the time so he asked me to send $6,000 to him or Ralph Paul, which I did, and I’m sure Ralph Paul endorsed the check but I haven’t located the check as yet. I don’t remember whether I sent the check to Jack or Ralph, except that they were supposed to pay the money back to me but never did. When they informed me that the club had gone broke and they had no money to pay me, I wrote the $6,000 off as a loss.]

Mr. Hubert. Did he owe you any money at any time?

Mr. Ruby. Me?

Mr. Hubert. Yes.

Mr. Ruby. Ralph Paul?

Mr. Hubert. Yes.

Mr. Ruby. No.

Mr. Hubert. I call your attention to the fact that in your 1960 income tax return you claimed a loss as a result of a worthless judgment note with reference to Ralph Paul in the sum of $6,000.
