And after he took over the Vegas, I used to see him out there until about—I think it was about the last 2 or 3 years I had not seen Ned in there. And the same thing with this Sam; that they used to be together a lot.

Mr. Griffin. Sam Lassen?

Mrs. Nichols. Yes. I had not seen either one of them in the Vegas Club for, I would say, 2 years anyway before 1959, when we stopped going together.

Mr. Griffin. Did Jack ever indicate why they stopped coming around?

Mrs. Nichols. No.

Mr. Griffin. Was there any sort of quarrel that Jack had with them?

Mrs. Nichols. Not that I know of.

Mr. Griffin. Did Jack seem to have any business relationship with Weisbrod and Lassen?

Mrs. Nichols. No.

Mr. Griffin. Were Weisbrod and Lassen more friendly with Jack than Ralph Paul? Did you see them around more often than you saw Ralph Paul?
