Mr. Burleson. Did you pay him some money?
Mrs. Grant. Yes; the first week he was in, I had a little money and I think it was when I sold the Vegas Club and I think I had $1,600 and I had bills to pay but I didn’t pay them and I gave him $200.
Mr. Burleson. At the time that you terminated his services in the case, did you pay him some money then?
Mrs. Grant. We gave him a check for $2,000—we gave him $2,700 altogether, but I gave him $2,000 when he signed the contract to step out of the case.
Mr. Burleson. Now, when the change of venue hearing started——
Mrs. Grant. By the way, when I say “I gave him”—that money came also out of the $23,000.
Mr. Burleson. Now, when the change of venue started and the picking of the jury followed, who were the attorneys then that were sitting there at the counsel table?
Mrs. Grant. Well, Belli, Tonahill and yourself—I don’t remember—I think Sam Brody was sick and went home. However, Mr. Belli brought in a young gentleman who came and sat for a while.
Mr. Burleson. Could that have been Mr. Bill Choulous?
Mrs. Grant. Yes.
