(Testimony of George Senator)

Mr. Hubert.
You mean he gave you cash?
Mr. Senator.
Either that or he gave me a little cash for spending money or he would just take me.
Mr. Hubert.
Just do what?
Mr. Senator.
Take me to eat, you know, when he went to eat. He'd pay for my laundry or have my suit pressed, things of that nature.
Mr. Hubert.
But then he did get an apartment?
Mr. Senator.
He got an apartment but I. don't remember just how long after that.
Mr. Hubert.
In any case when he-got an apartment you moved into that apartment with him?
Mr. Senator.
See I am a little blank on one point there. I just don't remember how the outcome was when he moved out of there into the apartment. I can't remember just how long I stayed up at the club with him. It wasn't too long, though. I don't remember how long. But anyhow he got this apartment on South Ewing.
Mr. Hubert.
On South Ewing?
Mr. Senator.
No; Marsalis.
Mr. Hubert.
And then you moved in with him right away?
Mr. Senator.
Then I went in with him. Now I don't remember if I went in with him--I don't remember how I went in with him. I can't place it together but I know I was there.
Mr. Hubert.
You didn't have to pay any rent?
Mr. Senator.
No; but I helped him in the club.
Mr. Hubert.
Now when you helped him in the club, what did you do? What kind of work did you do at the club?
Mr. Senator.
Well, I sort of ran the lights for him for awhile and I'd take cash for him.
Mr. Hubert.
You mean that is on the front door?
Mr. Senator.
Yes; on the front door.
Mr. Hubert.
That is the $2 admission charge?
Mr. Senator.
Yes; that is right.
Mr. Hubert.
And what other jobs did you do?
Mr. Senator.
Whatever errands he wanted me to do during the course of the daytime, if he wanted me to pick up something here or pick up something there or buy something that he needed for the club, go shopping and things of that nature, whatever it might be.
Mr. Hubert.
You didn't do the clean-up jobs?
Mr. Senator.
No. He had a clean-up boy.
Mr. Hubert.
Who was he?
Mr. Senator.
His name was Andrew Armstrong I believe it was.
Mr. Hubert.
Was he there when you first went there?
Mr. Senator.
Yes. He was with Jack quite awhile. He was with Jack, I think he was with Jack before I was there, yes, and he was there until the time the club closed down.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you travel around with Jack during this period when you were unemployed and he was helping you out and you were helping him out by doing errands and so forth? I mean when you got up in the morning did you both go together? Did you move together or how was it?
Mr. Senator.
It all depends. First of all he slept pretty good. He slept pretty late. He liked to sleep. And he used to get up in the afternoon and mess around, sit around the apartment. If the weather was right, I mean if it happened to be summertime, he is a great fan for swimming. Or he'd just mope around the place or hang around the apartment house.
Mr. Hubert.
What I am trying to get at. is whether your helping him out at the club was a regular thing or just done once in a while.
Mr. Senator.
No; I was doing it regularly. As long as he was keeping me up, I had to do something, see.
Mr. Hubert.
That is what I had in mind.
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you go to the club at the same time that he did?
Mr. Senator.
No.
