Mrs. Nichols. No.

Mr. Griffin. While you were dating Jack, did you know George Senator?

Mrs. Nichols. No; I never did know him.

Mr. Griffin. Do you know if Jack Ruby was a friend of Gordon McLendon?

Mrs. Nichols. Yes; he mentioned Gordon McLendon to me.

Mr. Griffin. When did you first hear Jack mention Gordon McLendon?

Mrs. Nichols. I don’t remember. I would say several years before we quit going together, before 1959, maybe 3 or 4 years. I can’t remember when he first mentioned him to me.

Mr. Griffin. What did Jack indicate to you about his acquaintanceship with Mr. McLendon?

Mrs. Nichols. Well, I think that he mentioned that Gordon McLendon had given him some advertising time on his radio station.

Mr. Griffin. Did you understand it was free advertising time?
