Mrs. Grant. It seems to me, and I was sitting right next to him on the couch, and the way my place is, there was a little white table, and there is a telephone there, and it seems to me he said, “I would like to cancel,” and the guy says, “Well,”——
Mr. Griffin. Of course, you couldn’t hear the man on the other end?
Mrs. Grant. No; I assumed the ad was already paid for.
Mr. Griffin. Go ahead. What else happened in that telephone call?
Mrs. Grant. As I said, “You better call the printing room,” or, “Did you call the printing room?” Or something. Jack said he knew the department better than I did. At least he was thinking a little better. He said, “You mean the composing room. The fellow there knows me real well.” And Jack said, “Tom,” something, and he said, “Well, put in closed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.” But I want to explain something here. He made two calls like that. And from what Jack told me later on, he said, well, the first edition, it will be out, like Friday night, the space and wording is in the paper.
Mr. Griffin. What newspaper did he call from your house that afternoon?
Mrs. Grant. He called both of them.
Mr. Griffin. And after he made those telephone calls, what did he do?
Mrs. Grant. Well, he tried to eat. By now, the eggs were cool. He took a spoonful or fork full and went back to the phone. And he took this phone into the bedroom, and it seems to me he called Alice Nichols, because, you know, that is the girl he was engaged to.
Mr. Griffin. Let me interrupt. Do you have a recollection of his making a telephone call to Alice Nichols from your house?
