Mrs. Nichols.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

How about the Vegas Club?

Mrs. Nichols.

I believe he did for a time have a strip, a few girls doing the strip at the Silver Spur, but that was a very short time.

Mr. Griffin.

Was this while you were dating him?

Mrs. Nichols.

Yes; but not--that was just for a few months. Maybe not even that long.

Mr. Griffin.

How did he happen to star to employ them there?

Mrs. Nichols.

How did he what?

Mr. Griffin.

Why did he start to employ them there?

Mrs. Nichols.

Well, his business was bad and he was just trying to find some way to build his business up.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he have entertainment at the Ranch House, Bob Wills Ranch House?

Mrs. Nichols.

Have floor shows?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes.

Mrs. Nichols.

I don't believe he ever had a floor show. I never did see a floor show there.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he have a band?

Mrs. Nichols.

He had a band.

Mr. Griffin.

And he sold liquor?

Mrs. Nichols.

Yes; well, they sold beer and set-ups.

Mr. Griffin.

Where was that located?

Mrs. Nichols.

That was on Corinth and Industrial.

Mr. Griffin.

How long did he operate that?

Mrs. Nichols.

I can't remember just when he started that. It wasn't but a few months. Probably, I would say about 6 months.

Mr. Griffin.

Was the Silver Spur in operation when the Ranch House was going?

Mrs. Nichols.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Well, when he sold the Ranch House, what did he do with the Silver Spur?

Mrs. Nichols.

He continued to operate both of them. Wait, I beg your pardon. When he sold which one?

Mr. Griffin.

The Ranch House?

Mrs. Nichols.

When he sold the Ranch House?

Mr. Griffin.

Then what happened to the Silver Spur?

Mrs. Nichols.

He still had the Silver Spur when he sold the Ranch House, but he sold the Silver Spur.

Mr. Griffin.

After he sold the Ranch House?

Mrs. Nichols.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

To whom did he sell the Silver Spur?

Mrs. Nichols.

A man by the name of Martin Gimbel or Gimpel.

Mr. Griffin.

How long after he sold the Ranch House did he sell the Silver Spur?

Mrs. Nichols.

It was very soon. I would say within--doesn't seem to me like it---seems like it was about a month after he sold the Ranch House.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you know--had you met Martin Gimpel?

Mrs. Nichols.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

How long had you known Martin Gimpel before he bought the Silver Spur?

Mrs. Nichols.

Well, I met Martin Gimpel soon after I met Jack.

Mr. Griffin.

Was Martin living in Dallas at that time?

Mrs. Nichols.

Yes; he was.

Mr. Griffin.

How long did Martin continue to live in Dallas?

Mrs. Nichols.

I don't recall how long. I don't recall how long he lived in Dallas. Several years.

Mr. Griffin.

Was Martin married?

Mrs. Nichols.

Not that I know of. I really don't know whether he was married.

Mr. Griffin.

What kind of man was Mr. Gimpel?
