Mr. Hubert. It’s an open place, a burlesque house, but, of course, you couldn’t sell hard liquor?
Mr. Paul. No.
Mr. Hubert. But it would sell beer?
Mr. Paul. That’s right.
Mr. Hubert. But your proposition to him was that you would advance $1,650 in the new venture to at least pay the rent for some time?
Mr. Paul. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Do you know anything about the incorporation of the S. & R., Inc.?
Mr. Paul. Yes; the S. & R. started the thing. That was the first deal; S. & R. is Slayton and Ruby.
Mr. Hubert. When you say “the first deal,” are you speaking of the corporation that existed with reference to the Sovereign Club?
Mr. Paul. Yes, sir.
