Mr. Rubenstein.

Jack Yanover. Jack Yanover owns the Dream Bar at 1312 South Cicero Avenue, a striptease joint.
Jack and I are old friends for many years, in fact, he is one of the oldest friends I have. Jack told me two things, Jack Yanover. First my brother Jack was looking for girls down there, was only going to pay them $150 a week for 6 weeks' work. So Jack Yanover explained to me, he says, "You cannot get a gift to go down to Dallas for 6 weeks' work for $150 a week and she will have to pay her own expenses, that is out. They won't do it." And the second problem was with the union. Jack Yanover told me that the people in Chicago, the agents, the union agents, had no connection with the agents in Dallas. It would have to come from New York, and Joey Adams, I think, is one of the big men in the organization, the entertainer Joey Adams, president. So I tried to call some people in Chicago who could get to Joey Adams or anybody else in the New York deal. I didn't succeed, let's put it that way. I remember now. We didn't succeed. It was just one of those things that didn't work out, and if I am not mistaken I think Jack tried to Call some of the other boys in Chicago, one bail bondsman, I can't think of his name, and then he tried to call Lenny Patrick, I believe, Lenny Patrick, and then I think he tried to call somebody else.

Mr. Griffin.

How about a fellow named Barney Baker?

Mr. Rubenstein.

Baker?

Mr. Griffin.

Barney Baker, did you ever hear of him?

Mr. Rubenstein.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

How does Jack know Lenny Patrick?

Mr. Rubenstein.

Everybody knows Lenny Patrick. When you go to school you know everybody in a school, grade school or even high school, and if you lived on the west side you know Lenny Patrick because Lenny Patrick, you walk into a delicatessen or into a poolroom, "Hi, Lenny," "Hi, Jack," that is how you know him.

Mr. Griffin.

What does Lenny Patrick do?

Mr. Rubenstein.

I don't know what he does.

Mr. Griffin.

Does he make an honest living?

Mr. Rubenstein.

I think gambling is his biggest racket. I think so.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you know a fellow in New York by the name of Frank Carbonare?

Mr. Rubenstein.

Carbonaro. He is the guy who used to ship my merchandise for me when I was in business for myself. 811 East 242d Street, Bronx 70, N.Y.

Mr. Griffin.

What was his connection with the shipping?

Mr. Rubenstein.

He bought my merchandise for me and he shipped it to me for my customers. You see New York is the ribbon market of the world. You can't get the stuff anywhere else than in New York, certain items, and Frankie took care of those things for me. I paid him a commission on every order. That is how it worked out.

Mr. Griffin.

How about the Morris Paper Mill Co., did you have some dealings with them?

Mr. Rubenstein.

Yes; all the time. I buy paper boxes from them, Morris, Ill., florist boxes.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you recall anything else that Jack called you about before November 22 of last year?

Mr. Rubenstein.

If you would give me an inkling I will give you an answer. I won't lie to you because I have nothing to hide.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he ever call you about Eva?

Mr. Rubenstein.

I think he was having a little trouble with Eva, I think. She was sick. Yes. Eva was sick and going for an operation, so I mailed her a check for $100, make her feel better. I mailed it to the club. So Jack would give it to Eva so she would have $100 to help her with the operation. That was it, and he loved me for it. He said that was wonderful. He said, she hasn't been up here for many years and she thought that we had completely ignored her. So he thought by doing that she felt closer to the family, that we were thinking of her.

Mr. Griffin.

Did he ever talk to you about Eva?

Mr. Rubenstein.

Always, always.
