Mr. Ruby. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Now, I understand that you loaned some money to Jack in 1955; is that correct?
Mr. Ruby. That’s right.
Mr. Hubert. How much and under what circumstances?
Mr. Ruby. Well, he said he was having difficulty in paying his Federal excise taxes and I let him have $1,000, and then sometime later—that was probably in May or June of 1955 when I let him have the $1,000, and then sometime later—that was probably May or June when I let him have the $1,000 and later that summer, it may have been in July or August, I let him have $4,500, and he had some more difficulty with the Government on his Federal excise tax and he had to pay off these taxes or they would have padlocked his club—it was the Vegas Club.
Mr. Hubert. When you made these loans to Jack, did you receive any evidence of the loan, such as a note?
Mr. Ruby. Yes, sir; I had him make out a bill of sale to me for the Vegas Club.
Mr. Hubert. Was that recorded in any way?
Mr. Ruby. Well, I think I still have it at home—I think I still have it at home. I don’t remember whether it was recorded or not—the attorney made it out.
Mr. Hubert. I understand that you had to file a legal proceeding against Jack in order to recover your money?
