Later on when I went out with Eva, I said, “Who are these people I am supposed to call?” She says, “Forget about it. He gives me the same thing, people I am supposed to see and call to help him.” I didn’t know. And he wanted us to get every lawyer in the State of Texas. “Did you call this guy? Did you call Percy Foreman and did you call him?” I didn’t know anybody. We didn’t know who to call. We were strangers in Texas. We were never in trouble before.
Mr. Griffin. Did he ask you to call people other than lawyers?
Mr. Rubenstein. His personal friends, his personal friends. I think some owed him some money, no names were mentioned that Eva didn’t know. She knew all the names he mentioned. That is why she told me to forget about it. She probably had already contacted them. Friends in Dallas, personal people who were either very dear friends of his and club members. And he was worried more about the dogs than he was about anybody else.
Mr. Griffin. Was the occasion that you went down to see him before Christmas, was that at the time of the bail bond hearing? Do you remember the hearings?
Mr. Rubenstein. I don’t remember what the hearing was but I was down there.
Mr. Griffin. Did you go down there for a hearing in December?
Mr. Rubenstein. I don’t remember. I think it was a bail bond hearing.
Mr. Griffin. You say he was more concerned about the dogs?
Mr. Rubenstein. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. Than anything else?
