Mr. Hubert. Did you tell your wife that Mr. Ruby had been there?
Mr. Branch. No; I didn’t tell her.
Mr. Hubert. What?
Mr. Branch. I didn’t tell her.
Mr. Hubert. Your wife is named Eleanor?
Mr. Branch. I didn’t tell her that night.
Mr. Hubert. When did you tell her?
Mr. Branch. I may have told her 2 or 3 days after.
Mr. Hubert. She works for Mrs. Mandell?
Mr. Branch. That’s right. As soon as she heard it was him, she knew that we were always taking care of business with him. I sold him the first band he had in Dallas—Red Calhoun—when he was at the Silver Spur, and when I got sick the first time, he gave me some money.
