Mr. Griffin. Do you know how he earned his living before he bought the Silver Spur?
Mrs. Nichols. No; I know that before, he had punchboards for a while, before it became illegal in Texas, and that is the only business that I know of that he had. I was under the impression that he had a little money, that he had saved a little money.
Mr. Griffin. Did Jack ever sell punchboards in Texas?
Mrs. Nichols. Not that I know of.
Mr. Griffin. Now I think you indicated to the FBI that Gimpel is dead?
Mrs. Nichols. That is what I heard.
Mr. Griffin. When did you hear that he died?
Mrs. Nichols. I don’t remember. Jack Ruby called me and told me that he had died, but I don’t know how long ago that was.
Mr. Griffin. Did he die here in Dallas?
Mrs. Nichols. No. I believe he said he died in Oklahoma.
