Mrs. Nichols. Well, he was Jack’s lawyer.

Mr. Griffin. Was Jack a social friend of his?

Mrs. Nichols. I don’t know. Well, I don’t know whether he ever went to his home or not.

Mr. Griffin. Did Mr. Kaufman visit the Vegas Club from time to time?

Mrs. Nichols. I don’t remember ever seeing him in the Vegas Club.

Mr. Griffin. How about Tom Howard? Did Jack ever mention Tom Howard as an acquaintance?

Mrs. Nichols. He had mentioned Tom Howard, but I had never seen—as far as I know, they were not friends. I never did see them together.

I never did see Tom Howard in the club. But I have worked for Tom Howard when I first started working for attorneys, and I knew that I had known Tom Howard because I worked for him.

Mr. Griffin. When did you work for Mr. Howard?

Mrs. Nichols. Right after I got my divorce in 1947, for a short time.
