Mr. Ruby. No; I haven’t seen those people in maybe—maybe for about 3 years.

Mr. Hubert. They were friends of Jack’s?

Mr. Ruby. Yes.

Mr. Hubert. Did Jack get you interested in this venture with these two men?

Mr. Ruby. Well, he introduced me to them and he did say that they had a very good business and that they were hard working fellows.

Mr. Hubert. Did you invest any money with them?

Mr. Ruby. Yes; I did.

Mr. Hubert. How much?

Mr. Ruby. $3,500.

Mr. Hubert. When you dissolved, did they buy you out?
