Mr. Patterson. Well, I didn’t really want to because the pay was too low and the hours were too long. But he propositioned me to cut the number of hours because I was going to college, and the other saxophone player was too going to college, and the other two guys worked.
Mr. Griffin. So did you finally agree to play at the Vegas with your band?
Mr. Patterson. No.
Mr. Griffin. When was the last that you talked to him about playing at the Vegas?
Mr. Patterson. About—I don’t know the exact—it was one Sunday evening, I would say, approximately two weeks before the incident.
Mr. Griffin. Before the assassination of the President?
Mr. Patterson. Could have been a week and a half or a week anyway in there.
Mr. Griffin. At that time Jack didn’t have a band playing at the Vegas?
Mr. Patterson. Yes; he did.
Mr. Griffin. He did have a band?
