Mr. Hubert. He did what?
Mr. Branch. I said—a lot of times he just talked about foolishness, anyway.
Mr. Hubert. Like what?
Mr. Branch. Just about different acts and different musicians he had out to the place—“Slick,” and different ones he’d got out of jail and all that and how much I’d done for them, and you know how that is.
Mr. Hubert. You knew he was a Jew?
Mr. Branch. Who, Mr. Ruby?
Mr. Hubert. Yes.
Mr. Branch. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. Was he sensitive about being a Jew?
Mr. Branch. I don’t know—you see—he was a good fellow, but the thing was, he was a parlor-type fellow.
