Mr. Ruby. Yes: I found out that he was not quite competent as Jack would have him and there were a few things that he didn’t take care of, in other words, when my brother told him to do it and he neglected to do a few things.
Mr. Burleson. And that was the reason for the firing of Torti rather than stealing?
Mr. Ruby. Right.
Mr. Burleson. And subject to that correction you told Mr. Hubert, everything else appeared to be correct, as I understand it now?
Mr. Ruby. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Is it correct to state that when you made the statement that you have just modified on page 6 of Exhibit No. 1 that you had the impression that the man had been fired because he had been stealing from Jack and that impression has been clarified since that; is that correct?
Mr. Ruby. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. How was it clarified?
Mr. Ruby. Well, since talking to Jack and at the time—Jack mentioned a few things that—when I come to the club, which I did a few times to visit him and see the show and to watch the admission being taken and put in the register properly, and that gave me the impression that maybe he just wanted to see that maybe Leo didn’t forget to do those things.
Mr. Hubert. You have since talked to your brother Jack and he has clarified this matter, so that you are now able to state that your present understanding is that it was not because of an allegation of stealing, but rather because he was incompetent; is that correct?
