Mrs. Nichols.

Well, he told me that he did. I don't know what the consideration was. He didn't tell ,he how much.

Mr. Griffin.

Is Rocky Robinson still in town?

Mrs. Nichols.

I don't know.

Mr. Griffin.

Had Rocky been a friend of Jack's before he sold the Silver Spur to Mr. Robinson?

Mrs. Nichols.

Not that I know of.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he become a friend of Jack's after Jack sold the Silver Spur to Rocky Robinson?

Mrs. Nichols.

Not that I know of. I never did see Rocky Robinson but on about two occasions.

Mr. Griffin.

Now I believe you told the FBI that you had met Jack's father?

Mrs. Nichols.

I did.

Mr. Griffin.

Where did you meet Mr. Rubinstein?

Mrs. Nichols.

Where?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes.

Mrs. Nichols.

Jack picked me up after I left the office and took me by to meet his father one evening. That was the only time I ever saw his father.

Mr. Griffin.

How did the father happen to be in Dallas?

Mrs. Nichols.

Well, he and one of Jack's sisters were visiting Jack.

Mr. Griffin.

When Jack sold the Silver Spur, did he also at the time he sold the Silver Spur to Rocky Robinson, own the Vegas Club?

Mrs. Nichols.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

In late 1958 and on up to the time you stopped seeing him in 1959 or 1960, did Jack own the Vegas Club?
Did Jack own any club in addition to the Vegas Club during this 1-year period prior to the time you stopped seeing Jack? Did he operate any clubs besides the Vegas Club in that year?

Mrs. Nichols.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

In that year before you stopped seeing him, did Jack ever discuss selling the Vegas Club?

Mrs. Nichols.

I don't remember him ever discussing selling the Vegas Club.

Mr. Griffin.

Was it your understanding that Jack was making a profit off the Vegas Club?

Mrs. Nichols.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

I suppose during the time that you were dating Jack, you met most of his friends?

Mrs. Nichols.

Jack introduced me to a lot of people while I was going with him.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you meet a man by the name of Dewey Groom?

Mrs. Nichols.

Yes; I knew him slightly. I met him. He was a bandleader at Jack's Silver Spur for a while.

Mr. Griffin.

After Jack closed the Silver Spur, did Jack continue to see him?

Mrs. Nichols.

I never did see him after that. I don't know whether Jack did or not. Jack did see most of the nightclubs; he went around to most of the clubs and he probably did see Dewey Groom.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, did you know Ralph Paul?

Mrs. Nichols.

I did.

Mr. Griffin.

To your knowledge, when did Jack first become friendly with Ralph Paul?

Mrs. Nichols.

Well, I don't remember. Let's see; I don't remember whether--I just can't remember exactly when I first knew Ralph Paul.

Mr. Griffin.

Was he friendly with Ralph Paul when you first started dating Jack?

Mrs. Nichols.

No; I believe I went with him for several years before I ever heard of Ralph Paul or met him. I just don't remember when I met Ralph Paul. I was trying to think whether I remembered him before Jack went back to Chicago. I believe I met him before he went back to Chicago in 1952.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he have any business connections with Jack at that time?

Mrs. Nichols.

Jack had mentioned that Ralph Paul had loaned him money.
