Mr. Hubert. And the two of them came to you?
Mr. Paul. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. And wanted to borrow some money?
Mr. Paul. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. How much was it they wanted to borrow?
Mr. Paul. $2,000.
Mr. Hubert. Did you lend it to them?
Mr. Paul. He said to me, “I’ve got a show, I want to buy the Bob Wills Ranch House”—did you get this one in there any place—he said, “I’ve got to show it,” and he says, “All I want to do is show them that I’ve got the money and I’ll give it back to you the following day.” Well, not that I knew the guy so much, but you know, you can’t turn people down like that if he wants to pay me the next day, so I loaned him $2,000.
Mr. Hubert. Did you get a note?
Mr. Paul. No; he was going to pay me back the next day. Well, the next day didn’t come. Subsequently he roped me in for $3,700.
