Mrs. Grant. Well, there was a big——
Mr. Hubert. Just answer my question, I think you can answer my question.
Mrs. Grant. I have been there several times in front of a judge and my mother was there and the kids were there, and truthfully, it’s all so vague I can’t remember.
Mr. Hubert. Do you remember that in his youth Jack was called by the nickname “Sparky”?
Mrs. Grant. Oh, yes.
Mr. Hubert. Could you tell us how he acquired that name?
Mrs. Grant. Well, there was a horse called “Sparky” that was the slowest darn horse you ever saw and it was a joke, you know, in the funny papers, and they would rib him about him. Jack was short and fat and stocky. He wobbled when he walked, from the time I remember he was 5 years old, until the time he was 8, and it seemed shortly after that he acquired that name and that burned him up, and from then on he has become very fast with his fists and he started hitting fellows—well—the fellows who probably kept calling him “Sparky”, let’s say, but these were all little boys—8, 9, 11 or 10.
Mr. Hubert. And that’s how he got the name “Sparky”?
Mrs. Grant. As much as I remember.
Mr. Hubert. From two sources—from the horse named “Spark Plug” or the comic strip that had a horse named “Spark Plug” and from the fact that he, as a child, reacted quickly to taunts of his young friends?
