Mr. Griffin.

Did he ever indicate that he was dissatisfied in any way with that?

Mrs. Nichols.

No; he didn't.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he talk to you about how close he was or friendly he was with his brothers?

Mrs. Nichols.

Well, I got the impression that he was close to his brothers, his whole family. He seemed to be close to the whole family.

Mr. Griffin.

What gave you that impression?

Mrs. Nichols.

Well, he was very upset when his brothers Earl and Sam broke up their partnership, and he went up there to try to help settle their differences, and he just--I always got the impression that he was close to his family.

Mr. Griffin.

Now you mentioned a man by the name of Ned Weisbrod.

Mrs. Nichols.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

As a person whom you thought was friendly with Jack, close to him in one way or another. When did you first meet Mr. Weisbrod?

Mrs. Nichols.

I believe that I met him soon after I met Jack. I would say probably in 1950.

Mr. Griffin.

How long did they continue, Weisbrod, to be friendly with Jack?

Mrs. Nichols.

I had not seen him in--when I first knew Jack, he had the Silver Spur, and I used to see Ned in there.
And after he took over the Vegas, I used to see him out there until about--I think it was about the last 2 or 3 years I had not seen Ned in there. And the same thing with this Sam; that they used to be together a lot.

Mr. Griffin.

Sam Lassen?

Mrs. Nichols.

Yes. I had not seen either one of them in the Vegas Club for, I would say, 2 years anyway before 1959, when we stopped going together.

Mr. Griffin.

Did Jack ever indicate why they stopped coming around?

Mrs. Nichols.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

Was there any sort of quarrel that Jack had with them?

Mrs. Nichols.

Not that I know of.

Mr. Griffin.

Did Jack seem to have any business relationship with Weisbrod and Lassen?

Mrs. Nichols.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

Were Weisbrod and Lassen more friendly with Jack than Ralph Paul? Did you see them around more often than you saw Ralph Paul?

Mrs. Nichols.

I don't believe so.

Mr. Griffin.

Now you also mention Adrian High as a person who was friendly with Jack. And I believe, if my understanding is correct, that High, Weisbrod, Lassen, and Ruby were sort of mutual friends?

Mrs. Nichols.

I don't know whether Adrian was a friend of Ned and Sam or not. I have not seen Adrian High in, oh, since about, I would say about 1956. I had not seen him.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you know if Weisbrod and Lassen are still in Dallas?

Mrs. Nichols.

I don't know.

Mr. Griffin.

When was the last that you knew they were in Dallas?

Mrs. Nichols.

I haven't seen them since the only place I ever saw them was at the Vegas Club, and it's been several years before I quit going with Jack that I had seen them in there. At least 2 years.

Mr. Griffin.

Was Jack the kind of person that, if he had problems with somebody or a dispute with somebody, that he would continue to talk about it for some time after it occurred?

Mrs. Nichols.

He didn't talk to me about it.

Mr. Griffin.

You know some people, when they have a problem, they just have to talk and talk about it until it seems to get out of their system. Did Jack seem to be that kind of a person?

Mrs. Nichols.

No; he didn't talk to me about it.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, did you ever see Jack getting into any fights with anybody?

Mrs. Nichols.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you ever see him hit anybody?
