Mrs. Grant. 1312½ Commerce.
Mr. Hubert. It’s an upstairs location?
Mrs. Grant. And I understand Jack has taken money from Earl and probably from my sister Mary and God knows who else in the family—there was none of his money in there—if he had a thousand dollars of his money, it was a lot of money.
Mr. Hubert. Was that a corporation, to your knowledge?
Mrs. Grant. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Who are the owners of the stock?
Mrs. Grant. Well, from what I knew—Ralph Paul put in some money and that was another thing. He is quite a well-to-do man and I think he wanted Jack to be a success, whether he loaned or gave him money—I don’t know, but I know he was connected with the club, and Leo Torti, I think Jack owed him a little. Jack promised or owed him some money, made him part of the corporation and the first that started out it was with Earl being in it, but the State doesn’t allow an outsider to be in a corporation of that type when you carry a liquor license and I think they rehashed it later on and it went over a few times—it started out with the people I didn’t know, but ones I got to know later on was Joe Slayton and another fellow who I still don’t know who he is. There was three partners—Jack represented Earl, Earl gave him the money. Jack encouraged Earl to give him the money to go into this thing and to this day, and this is truthfully, I think he owes Earl $8,500 on that deal alone, and I’m making it low. I don’t know all the money Earl had given him from time to time.
Mr. Hubert. Did you know of the existence of a corporation called Sovereign, Incorporated?
Mrs. Grant. No; it’s called S & R Corp. or R & S. Yes; I know it now and I knew it when I came to town. He told me about it.
Mr. Hubert. But did you ever hear of a corporation called Sovereign Club, Incorporated, or Inc.?
