Mr. Hubert. You mean—more?
Mr. Paul. With the $2,000—$3,700 altogether.
Mr. Hubert. Making $1,700 more?
Mr. Paul. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Now, why don’t you just tell us in your own words just how this relationship developed and so forth?
Mr. Paul. It’s silly but true, and when I tell it, it’s really funny. The next time he comes he says, “They didn’t think it enough money to show for the place, I’ve got to show them $3,000,” so I gave him another $1,000.
Mr. Hubert. That would have been just a few days after?
Mr. Paul. Yes—that’s 2 days afterwards. Instead of the next day coming—he came 2 days and he says, “This is it positively—I’ve just got to show them the money.” Well, he didn’t come around that Saturday, and subsequently he came around and he said he had to use the money to get into the business there. What do you do with a person—you’re just stuck. You can’t do nothing until then—you can’t do nothing with them. That went on for a couple of months, and now, listen to this: One day, on a Friday—that’s how the other $700 is going to come in—on a Friday he comes in and he says, “If I don’t get the money to buy beer, I’ve got to close it down.” Well, you’ve got to think—you’re already stuck with $3,000—that’s how the payments came when I was with him at the Vegas Club—you understand me?
Mr. Hubert. Yes; so, you gave him another $700 on that occasion?
Mr. Paul. Yes; but when he sold the Silver Spur at that time, he gave me money back, because I have the note on the Silver Spur. He gave me the note on the Silver Spur for the money, so in order to release the note, he gave me $1,000.
