Mr. Griffin.

To continue with this dictation of what Mr. Eberhardt told me prior to starting this deposition, that he also stated that he knew a man named Buddy King, who had worked for Jack, and apparently King had been down on his luck and Jack had picked him up and given him a job for a while, and that it was common practice for Jack to pick up these people, people of this sort, and employ them for a short while.
Do you think Jack did this because he could get these people for low wages or do you think that he did it out of the goodness of his heart?

Mr. Eberhardt.

He liked show people like Buddy King--you know, he was in the -movies--and he put a picture up there with Our Gang Comedy. He liked to be around people like that. Prizefighters, they would be up there now and then.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you know any prizefighters up there?

Mr. Eberhardt.

Yes. I met a prizefighter that bounced for him one night, the old heavyweight here in Dallas.

Mr. Griffin.

Turman?

Mr. Eberhardt.

Yes; Buddy Turman.

Mr. Griffin.

Is he the only one that hung around there?

Mr. Eberhardt.

Yes; I take it back. You remember when this left-handed lightweight fighting for Curtis Cokes, going to fight for the title, little, lefthanded, Muskegon, Mich.? He was down there.

Mr. Griffin.

Who was that?

Mr. Eberhardt.

When Kenney Lane fought Curtis Cokes in Dallas, the night after, he was up in the place.

Mr. Griffin.

Kenney Lane fought Curtis Cokes?

Mr. Eberhardt.

Kenney Lane fought Curtis Cokes.

Mr. Griffin.

He came up to the place?

Mr. Eberhert.

He came up to the place. He is top contender right now.

Mr. Griffin.

Did Jack say how he knew him?

Mr. Eberhardt.

No. He just said, "There is Kenney Lane."

Mr. Griffin.

About how often do they have prizefights in Dallas?

Mr. Eberhardt.

They haven't had one for quite a while now. They tried to promote some, but they didn't go over good.

Mr. Griffin.

How about amateur fights?

Mr. Eberhardt.

Yes; we have tried to build up with some smokers with the Police Athletic League, and such as that. Had the Golden Gloves.

Mr. Griffin.

About how often in the average year have they had the amateur fights, that you know of?

Mr. Eberhardt.

They had 4 or 5 cards last year.

Mr. Griffin.

Who sponsored those?

Mr. Eberhardt.

I don't know who was sponsoring them, really.

Mr. Griffin.

Did Jack have anything to do with those?

Mr. Eberhardt.

No; huh-uh.

Mr. Griffin.

Did Jack ever indicate to you any interest in them?

Mr. Eberhardt.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

I also asked Detective Eberhardt if he knew of anyone else whom he knew from the police department, and he mentioned that his partner on the vice squad, R. L. Clark, also got some useful information, but that Eberhardt hasn't worked with Clark since early 1962 when Detective Eberhardt was transferred to burglary and theft.
Now, is there anything else that you would want to add to what I have just dictated?

Mr. Eberhardt.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

Is that--are you satisfied that that is an accurate statement, a report of what we talked about----

Mr. Eberhardt.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Beforehand?

Mr. Eberhardt.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, you have given an interview to Agents Smith and Chapoton, [spelling] C-h-a-p-o-t-o-n, of the Federal Bureau of Investigation on December 20, 1963, and you stated that, when you were on duty sometime between 3 and 11
