Mr. Paul. No—a lot of loans.

Mr. Hubert. It was a buildup, as I remember?

Mr. Paul. Yes.

Mr. Hubert. Was that from the time of Joe Bonds and the Sky Club?

Mr. Paul. No; Joe Bonds had nothing to do with this thing.

Mr. Hubert. What was your connection with Joe Bonds?

Mr. Paul. He brought me down to Texas and went partners in this nightclub.

Mr. Hubert. And I think you’ve already testified about that?

Mr. Paul. Yes.

Mr. Hubert. The loan to Ruby which eventually got up to $15,000 was not all in connection with income tax troubles, was it?
