Mrs. Powell. Well, not that he was out doing other things. Just that he wasn’t coming in until 10. I think he had someone working up there at that time that was running it.
Mr. Griffin. Ed Pullman?
Mrs. Powell. I don’t know. I think there was someone up there that was kind of looking after the place, but he had the club pretty well going smooth enough to where he could do that.
Mr. Griffin. Was Andy Armstrong pretty able to run the club for him?
Mrs. Powell. Yes. We had all been there so long and we knew what to do and when to do it and how to do it.
Really, Jack didn’t have much of a problem, because the kids had been with him for a long time, most of them.
Mr. Griffin. Well, you described the episode with Jada and as a result of it you mentioned that he felt people were against him, and you sided with his competitors, and he was mad at Earl Norman and felt Earl Norman was on the other side, and so forth.
Had there been other occasions when Jack had said the same thing, or was this a new concern on his part that everybody was turning against him?
Mrs. Powell. No. Ever since I have known him, he had been that way. He is the type of person that he gets an idea about something and I don’t care what it is, if that is the way he feels about it, you can’t shake his mind, and it doesn’t do any good to argue, because that is the way he is.
And he never thinks before he does anything, never.
