If you can't read them, indicate to me that you can't and I will try to read them for you.
Mr. Patterson.
I see Billy Brook. I can't make out the second line. Bobby Patterson, six something, special friend, and then a ten and two. No, and quotation marks.
Mr. Griffin.
You have to keep your voice up so she can hear you.
Mr. Patterson.
Three .... I can'.t make out that word--I can't make out the next word, and 2409 Maple, LA 6-7568 for Robert Patterson--no, Robert is all.
Three--now I can't make out the next--six eight three seven four nine thousand eight, oh six, fifty by a hundred and ninety-two.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recognize any of those notations shown in that photograph as having anything to do with you?
Mr. Patterson.
It would be my guess that these were some notations of where he paid somebody, somebody paid us for playing one night, because I think this Billy Brook is a singer. I remember Billy Brook that used to sing over at the Vegas.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he sing there while you also entertained there?
Mr. Patterson.
Yes, a few times he was there. None of this other, I don't know what that could be.
Mr. Griffin.
If that notation Bobby Patterson and friends had to do with you, who would the friend be?
Mr. Patterson.
Robert Simpson.
Mr. Griffin.
Is that the saxophone player?
Mr. Patterson.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Was that a rate that was paid, six dollars to you and the additional four dollars to Simpson?
Mr. Patterson.
It could have been. We usually received the same pay. If I got $5, he usually received $5. I don't ever recall making any more than he did.
Mr. Griffin.
That is as much as you can remember about that?
Mr. Patterson.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Has anything come to your attention in connection with Jack Ruby or in connection with any of the work you have done for Jack or his sister, Mrs. Grant, that you think would be of value to the Commission?
Mr. Patterson.
No, I can't recall anything.
Mr. Griffin.
How many times did you actually talk with Jack Ruby?
Mr. Patterson.
I couldn't pinpoint it to a certain number of times, but I can approximate.
Mr. Griffin.
Can you give us your best estimate?
Mr. Patterson.
You mean on the phone and in person?
Mr. Griffin.
Yes.
Mr. Patterson.
About 15 times.
Mr. Griffin.
How many of these times would have been in person?
Mr. Patterson.
Not 10 times.
Mr. Griffin.
Were all the times that you met him in person at the Vegas Club?
Mr. Patterson.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Where have you seen him besides at the Vegas Club?
Mr. Patterson.
He came to my house one night to talk to my mother about me playing for him, and him taking over as my manager and promoting a record for me.
Mr. Griffin.
When was that?
Mr. Patterson.
Some time in the first of November, something like that.
Mr. Griffin.
What kind of record was he interested in promoting?
Mr. Patterson.
Just a rock n roll record that he wanted to promote for me.
Mr. Griffin.
Had you already cut the record?
Mr. Patterson.
I already record for another company and he said he had some connections with a better record company that he could, you know, he wanted me to record some new records.
Mr. Griffin.
Who do you record for?
