Mr. Wall.

For doing our shows there because we only received a small salary, as I said, $125 a week. He said he would give us a portion of the club.

Mr. Specter.

Do you mean a percentage of the gross receipts or a percentage of the net receipts?

Mr. Wall.

I mean a percent of the club, period.

Mr. Specter.

Half ownership in the club?

Mr. Wall.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Specter.

Was that ever formalized into a written contract?

Mr. Wall.

As far as I know it was, sir, but I don't remember where the papers are. I think they were destroyed in the fire at the Playbill Club.

Mr. Specter.

Did you ever get such an interest in the Sovereign Club?

Mr. Wall.

No, sir.

Mr. Specter.

Have you ever been interviewed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation or any other other Federal agency regarding your connection with Jack Ruby?

Mr. Wall.

I have never been called into an office and interviewed at all possibly there were some men who came by and asked me a few questions but I can't remember it. It was that vague. I do know Joe Peterson was interviewed by some representatives of the FBI.

Mr. Specter.

Do you think you may have been interviewed by the FBI, you are not sure?

Mr. Wall.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Specter.

Did you ever tell the FBI anything about Ruby's telephone call on the night of November 23 to you in Galveston?

Mr. Wall.

Yes, sir; if they interviewed me I definitely told them about it because it was very important.

Mr. Specter.

But you are just not sure whether or not they interviewed you?

Mr. Wall.

I will tell you, things happened so fast. I definitely remember Joe came back and said, "Two representatives want to talk to you," but I don't remember ever talking to them.

Mr. Specter.

You don't have any specific recollection of ever talking to them or telling them about that telephone call from Jack Ruby on Saturday, November 23?

Mr. Wall.

No, sir.

Mr. Specter.

Mr. Wall, did you and I have a brief interview before this deposition started today?

Mr. Wall.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Specter.

And during the course of that interview did I ask you the outline of the questions which we have covered here on the record?

Mr. Wall.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Specter.

And were your answers the same as you told me here this afternoon?

Mr. Wall.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Specter.

Do you have anything to add which you think would be helpful in any way to the President's Commission?

Mr. Wall.

Well, the only thing that I stated to you before is that previously I said that Jack and Joe got into a fight when he blew his stack but then on the other hand there was a time when we needed $300 very desperately and Jack in a matter of 10 minutes went over and got a loan on his own car for us so that the man does have feelings and he can flare up in 5 minutes and then forget about it, you know. I can't, but he is one type of person who can. You never know what he is going to do next.

Mr. Specter.

Do you know Ralph Paul?

Mr. Wall.

That was the one of the gentleman who was visiting Jack the same time I was that I could not remember.

Mr. Specter.

Aside from that time in the jail have you ever talked to Ralph Paul?

Mr. Wall.

Very, very little. Jack at one time has taken Joe and I to a bowling alley I remember Ralph Paul was along--and took us for breakfast. We bowled a game but I still didn't say seven or eight words to the man. I was very friendly but I still didn't say anything to him.
