Mr. Peterson. September of 1960. Sometime around in there. He came up like a lot of club owners do. I think when we reopened the club he came up and visited us. We were introduced to him as Jack Ruby. That was all.
Mr. Specter. After you terminated your business relationship with him when the show “Sticks and Stones” ended, how frequently, if at all, did you see him thereafter?
Mr. Peterson. He came and visited us quite a lot at the Century Room. He would come in when he had guests, big-shot type of thing, wanted to be recognized. He was very nice.
Mr. Specter. Did you have a cordial relationship notwithstanding your prior difficulties?
Mr. Peterson. Right; right. Like I say, it was best to keep everything on a hello-goodbye basis.
Mr. Specter. How frequently did you see him after 1962?
Mr. Peterson. Well, normally, like bump into him. It was only across the street. We were living at the Adolphus. Back and forth. It’s hard to tell how many times.
Mr. Specter. Did you ever have any more business dealings with him?
Mr. Peterson. No; once we went into bankruptcy, Breck and I, and like when all friendship failed we went to Jack Ruby and he came through. He was real fine. Loaned us money. We paid him back.
Mr. Specter. How much money did he loan you?
