Mr. Griffin. When you say he lost it, did he go into bankruptcy? Go through some court proceedings or just sell it to somebody at a loss?

Mrs. Nichols. I don’t know whether he took bankruptcy or not. I don’t remember. I don’t think he got anything. I don’t believe he sold it.

Mr. Griffin. Was he forced out of it by anybody?

Mrs. Nichols. I was under the impression that he just didn’t have the money to continue operating. He just had to leave it.

Mr. Griffin. What kind of place was this Ranch House?

Mrs. Nichols. It was a western type.

Mr. Griffin. Restaurant?

Mrs. Nichols. No; nightclub.

Mr. Griffin. Striptease shows?

Mrs. Nichols. No.
