Mr. Rubenstein. My mother objected to it and they would start to fight and started an argument and sometimes they hit each other.
Mr. Griffin. They did separate at one time did they not?
Mr. Rubenstein. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. What was the cause of the separation?
Mr. Rubenstein. Just ill-feeling.
Mr. Griffin. While you were a child, did your mother have any peculiar ideas, any delusions of any sort, did she seem to have any mental problems?
Mr. Rubenstein. Yes; she always felt there was a bone stuck in her throat and about once a month I had to take her downtown. I being the oldest, to a clinic for 50 cents, we had clinics, you know those days, and she insisted there was a bone stuck in her throat from fish, and everytime we would go there the doctor would tell her, “Mrs. Rubenstein, there is nothing in your throat, you are imagining things. Why don’t you forget it.”
Thirty days later, about 30 days, I don’t know, I would go back there with her again. She insisted and I went, she made me go. This kept on for a couple of years, and she finally got tired of going and then we quit going.
Mr. Griffin. Well, was this after you left high school?
Mr. Rubenstein. No; before.
