Mr. Hubert. How long have you known him?

Mr. Norton. Well, I’ve known him ever since I have been in the business. My first location was on Lemmon and he had this Vegas Club down on Oaklawn.

Mr. Hubert. They were close together?

Mr. Norton. Well, it’s about a mile, I guess, 2 miles at the most.

Mr. Hubert. In a sense you were competitors, I suppose?

Mr. Norton. Well, in a sense, although he ran a different type of business than I did. He had a dance place there on Oak Lawn and my place was—his was open to the public and mine was closed to membership.

Mr. Hubert. Was he a member of your club?

Mr. Norton. No; I had shown him the courtesy as an operator when he would drop in, such as we do, you know, to be a guest.

Mr. Hubert. That’s mutual, I suppose, it’s reciprocal?

Mr. Norton. It’s done—yes.
