Mr. Hubert.

What did you go down to the club for?

Mr. Armstrong.

I went down and fed the dogs, because I knew that they would be down there all day long without any food, and Clipper, I was crazy about and I didn't want him going hungry--that was the only two dogs there, so I fed the dogs--went down and fed the dogs and there was a newsman in front of the club and he tried to grab me when I came out.

Mr. Hubert.

The police did too?

Mr. Armstrong.

No; just the newsman, but I didn't give him any statement or anything. I had called a friend of mine to bring me downtown and I went and got in the car and went on back home.

Mr. Hubert.

So, you are not sure whether you called Paul from the club or from the house?

Mr. Armstrong.

No; I know I called him from home, but I don't know if it was before or after--it was around 12 o'clock, I imagine, when I got downtown--somewhere along in there, but when I did call Ralph, I said, "What are you going to do, open the club up?" He said, "Meet me down there Monday," and I did meet him down at the club Monday and. decided to keep the club open.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you have any conversations with anyone else during the course of Sunday?

Mr. Armstrong.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

Were you interviewed by the FBI Sunday?

Mr. Armstrong.

Not Sunday.

Mr. Hubert.

You were not interviewed until Monday?

Mr. Armstrong.

Not until Monday.

Mr. Hubert.

Where were you when they interviewed you then?

Mr. Armstrong.

At the club--Monday night.

Mr. Hubert.

The club was open then?

Mr. Armstrong.

Right.

Mr. Hubert.

You were managing it for Ralph Paul?

Mr. Armstrong.

Well, I wasn't managing it--he managed it himself.

Mr. Hubert.

You met him there Monday--Paul?

Mr. Armstrong.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Was it during the daytime?

Mr. Armstrong.

It was during the daytime.

Mr. Hubert.

He decided to keep on running it and asked you if you would just keep on with it?

Mr. Armstrong.

Yes---oh, yes; I did call Eva Grant.

Mr. Hubert.

Who?

Mr. Armstrong.

Mrs. Grant.

Mr. Hubert.

What day was this?

Mr. Armstrong.

On Sunday--no, no--on Monday.

Mr. Hubert.

You did not speak to her on Sunday?

Mr. Armstrong.

No; I called her on Monday and told her Jack had fired me this was Monday morning. She said, "Well, nonsense, you know how Jack is. Go on down to the club. Mr. Ralph said he would meet me down there." And she said, "You know how my brother is, he was disturbed, he didn't know what he was doing anyway."

Mr. Hubert.

Paul had just simply told you to meet him at the club?

Mr. Armstrong.

He didn't know anything about the firing, but I told him at the club--Monday. Now, when I told him, he said, "How many times does that make?"

Mr. Hubert.

Who said that--Ralph Paul said that to you?

Mr. Armstrong.

Yes; I said, "I don't know, about a hundred, I guess."

Mr. Hubert.

How long did the club continue to operate?

Mr. Armstrong.

It continued to operate until February, I think it was, the last of February--the last Friday in February.

Mr. Hubert.

Who decided to close it?

Mr. Armstrong.

The vice squad decided to close it.

Mr. Hubert.

For what reason?

Mr. Armstrong.

I mean, the Liquor Control Board.

Mr. Hubert.

Because the license hadn't been paid?
