Mrs. Cheek.

Thirteen.

Mr. Griffin.

Now you also indicated in your first report that you had been acquainted with Jack Ruby since 1948. What makes you place that date?

Mrs. Cheek.

They asked me--when. 1948?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes; that is what they reported here.

Mrs. Cheek.

I didn't say 1948. I bought the house in 1948, and it might have been 1956. They have that 1956 down there of me buying 5212 Gaston.

Mr. Griffin.

Yes.

Mrs. Cheek.

I didn't meet Jack Ruby in 1948. 1948 is when I bought 5212. They have the dates mixed up there. And then 1.956 or 1957, I might have went down there to the club, but I don't think I knew him in 1948, at all.

Mr. Griffin.

This report also indicates that you formerly operated night clubs in Dallas?

Mrs. Cheek.

No; I told them that I went down and operated a club, just managed a club for Frank and Virginia Nick on Browder Street.

Mr. Griffin.

What was the name of that night club?

Mrs. Cheek.

Pat Morgan had the club at that time.

Mr. Griffin.

What was the name of the club?

Mrs. Cheek.

Club Royal is what Virginia and Frank Nick named it.

Mr. Griffin.

R-o-y-a-l?

Mrs. Cheek.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Was that the name of the club when you were employed there?

Mrs. Cheek.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

When was that?

Mrs. Cheek.

February of 1963, I believe it was, this past year.

Mr. Griffin.

But prior to 1963, had you ever been connected with the night club business in any way?

Mrs. Cheek.

No; nothing, only my husband was a musician. He played nightclubs and I went there with him.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he play in Dallas nightclubs?

Mrs. Cheek.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Was this Mr. Cheek?

Mrs. Cheek.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Were you a performer or anything?

Mrs. Cheek.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

How long was he a musician in Dallas? For what period of time?

Mrs. Cheek.

He was a musician before I married him. He just had it as a hobby. He worked at National Cash Register, and played on Friday and Saturday nights to pick up extra money.

Mr. Griffin.

I See; you came to Dallas, you said, 18 years ago? 1946?

Mrs. Cheek.

1947.

Mr. Griffin.

1947. Were you married to Mr. Cheek at that time?

Mrs. Cheek.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

When did you marry Mr. Cheek?

Mrs. Cheek.

1947.

Mr. Griffin.

All right, from 1947 to 1955, did Mr. Cheek play these weekend jobs in nightclubs?

Mrs. Cheek.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Was he employed regularly on weekends?

Mrs. Cheek.

He played with Harry Traveler's Band, and I don't remember the other names of the bands he played with, but he might have set in on some. You would have to ask him.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he ever play in any of Jack Ruby's clubs?

Mrs. Cheek.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

So your connection with the night club business prior to 1963, was solely through your husband's association as a musician and your going to the night clubs with him?

Mrs. Cheek.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you used to go regularly on the nights that he played?

Mrs. Cheek.

Most every Saturday night or Friday with him.
