Mr. Griffin. What did he tell you about that particular problem?

Mrs. Nichols. He went back to Chicago that time to try to help settle their differences.

Mr. Griffin. Do you know if this was Earl and Sam?

Mrs. Nichols. Yes.

Mr. Griffin. What seemed to be the differences between the two?

Mrs. Nichols. Well, I don’t know whether it was—well, I guess it was just a financial, trying to work out. Sam sold out to Earl, and I think it was just trying to work out a financial settlement.

Mr. Griffin. Did Jack ever indicate to you why Sam sold out to Earl? Why Sam left the business?

Mrs. Nichols. I thought it was just because they weren’t getting along together, the two brothers.

Mr. Griffin. Did Jack ever tell you why they weren’t getting along?

Mrs. Nichols. No.
