Mr. Reeves.

It seemed like he was a little bit more restless or something, and I believe that night, too, he had his club closed. I believe that sign--I believe he had a sign, if I remember, I really wasn't interested in his club. I had a pretty good job working for Allright--it's a pretty busy place, but it seemed to me like he had it closed. I believe he did.

Mr. Hubert.

Had you talked to Ruby earlier that day or seen him?

Mr. Reeves.

Let's see, I came to work at 7; it seemed to me like that Ruby was there when I got there. It seemed like he drove up and then he left and then came back, it seemed like, and that's when he must have went home and this girl called him and then he was at home and he wasn't ready yet. It seemed like. he told me he was waiting on a call or something from somebody or something and he told the girl he wasn't ready to come down, or he told me he wasn't ready to give her the $5, you see, and he told me to give her the $5 and to make out a receipt.

Mr. Hubert.

And have you to give it to her?

Mr. Reeves.

I had given her the $5 for him and I knew it was good because he always paid me back if he owed me any parking--he always paid it.

Mr. Hubert.

Had you ever paid any employees money like that?

Mr. Reeves.

No, sir; that there was the only one.

Mr. Hubert.

While you were on the phone with him, did he tell you that he was at home?

Mr. Reeves.

Let's see, I don't believe he said where he was. He just said he had an appointment or had a caller.

Mr. Hubert.

But you didn't call him?

Mr. Reeves.

No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Either he called you or you got on the phone?

Mr. Reeves.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

When the girl had been talking to him?

Mr. Reeves.

Or he called me, you know, I don't remember just exactly.

Mr. Hubert.

But you are certain he didn't tell you he was at home?

Mr. Reeves.

No, sir; he didn't say where he was.

Mr. Hubert.

You did get the impression that he was?

Mr. Reeves.

Yes; that's right, just my impression he was at home.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you know what that impression is based on?

Mr. Reeves.

No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Is it on anything he said?

Mr. Reeves.

No, sir; he didn't say anything about where he was.

Mr. Hubert.

But he did say he couldn't come because he was waiting for a call?

Mr. Reeves.

He was either waiting for a call or wasn't ready or something to come down, I believe is what he said.

Mr. Hubert.

What time did he leave, you say, just about the time you came on?

Mr. Reeves.

I believe he went away about the time I came to work, I believe he did.

Mr. Hubert.

You saw him when he left, then?

Mr. Reeves.

Yes; you see his car is parked there all the time, right in front or his side by his club, that was in parking.

Mr. Hubert.

So, about 7 or shortly thereafter he left the garage?

Mr. Reeves.

I sort of believe he did.

Mr. Hubert.

And the next time you saw him was when he came back in just about a haft hour or so after you gave the $5 to this girl?

Mr. Reeves.

Yes; and he brought my $5 back.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you remember when he left after that?

Mr. Reeves.

It seems to me he fooled around in the lobby, in the back waiting room there a while and pranced around or walked around and drove off--where he went from there, I don't know.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you see him any more that day?

Mr. Reeves.

Let's see, it seems to me he came back down there that night and fooled around the lobby.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he park his car?

Mr. Reeves.

You see, he always parked his own car--we didn't park his.
