Mr. Senator.

On weekends? Say like a Sunday, I would probably wake up at 7:30 or 8 o'clock in the morning on Sunday.

Mr. Griffin.

Has it been your habit when you get up in the morning you make yourself a breakfast or what do you do?

Mr. Senator.

No. I will tell you, when I wake up in the morning I want coffee, but I don't have that appetite in the morning when I get up. It is very rare that I will eat the moment I wake up in the morning. But I get hungry maybe an hour or two later or something like that.

Mr. Griffin.

So on a working day would you go to work, grab a cup of coffee and go to work?

Mr. Senator.

No, no; on working days I go downtown and have my coffee. I don't even make it there. Never. I don't sit there and make coffee in the morning.

Mr. Griffin.

Any particular place that you eat at regularly?

Mr. Senator.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Where?

Mr. Senator.

I had a hangout. The Eat Well. There is three places that I normally went to. Eat Well, I always went there every morning, even on Sunday, and then the Chefette. Down where the Chefette is in the Hotel Adolphus and then the Walgren also in the Hotel Adolphus. Those are the three places I normally was always in.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you have any regular place where you ate lunch?

Mr. Senator.

No; there is no particular--I mean I don't pick my spot where I eat lunch.

Mr. Griffin.

What would you do about dinners?

Mr. Senator.

Dinners I normally would like to go home, for meal, but I ate more when I was living with Stan or by myself than I did with Jack, because I just can't cook of his nature.

Mr. Griffin.

Was Jack in the habit of coming home for dinner?

Mr. Senator.

A lot of times, yes; and then I would probably say maybe; on rare occasions, no. It wasn't necessarily that he had to be home for dinner because there were many times he also ate out. But he was hard on food, even at a restaurant he was not easy. It had to be so-so.

Mr. Griffin.

Who did the shopping?

Mr. Senator.

Jack did the shopping. I couldn't do no shopping. I can't shop for him.

Mr. Griffin.

So Jack in effect would buy the meat for the meals and he would plan the meals? Is that the idea? Then you would cook them?

Mr. Senator.

He would buy what would suit himself, and if I didn't like it that is too bad.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he have a regular routine of going to a grocery store once a week and going shopping for a week or how did it work?

Mr. Senator.

I would probably say something like that. Of course, it all depends, you know, how much he is buying, how much he is going to buy. But he always had a lot of meat. He always kept his refrigerator pretty well filled. He'd buy grapefruits, half a grapefruit and grapefruit juice like crazy. Holy God, you know he'd wake up in the morning, the number one thing was that grapefruit. If he bought grapefruit which he'd normally buy 6, 8, 10 of them at a clip, he would cut up about 2 of them, 2 at once mind. you, and put them through the wringer and wring them down, you know, the machine he had home and drink solid grapefruit Juice, but from 2 of them, 2 whole grapefruits, unless he had the frozen grapefruits which he diluted with water. This is number one before he did anything, the grapefruit bit.

Mr. Griffin.

Did this pattern prevail both when you were living with him the first time and when you were living with him the second time?

Mr. Senator.

Oh, sure.

Mr. Griffin.

Or was there some difference in your relationship?

Mr. Senator.

No; there was no difference. His way of living was set before I ever heard of Jack Ruby, his way of eating.

Mr. Griffin.

He would do all the shopping? Who would decide on any particular evening What the meal was going to be?

Mr. Senator.

I had no say. I had no say.
