Mr. Griffin.

Let me move ahead now. It is a Saturday morning. Did you see your brother Saturday morning, November 23?

Mrs. Grant.

I don't remember.

Mr. Griffin.

How about Saturday afternoon, did you see him Saturday afternoon?

Mrs. Grant.

Yes; I did. I spent every bit of 3 1/2 or 4 hours, not 3 1/2 hours, and not much more than 4 hours, with him.

Mr. Griffin.

What time did you get up Saturday morning, as best you recall?

Mrs. Grant.

Well, it would be easiest to say that I didn't sleep at all.

Mr. Griffin.

Let me just ask you this. What time do you think your brother came to your house?

Mrs. Grant.

I would say 20 minutes before, and I think it would be the closest I could ever get, 20 to 4 in the afternoon, Saturday, November 23, and it could have been 5 to 4.

Mr. Griffin.

Had you contacted him?

Mrs. Grant.

Between the time that he left Friday night and the time he showed up Saturday afternoon, I think one time.

Mr. Griffin.

When do you think he called you?

Mrs. Grant.

I don't know. It seems to me, I may be wrong, he didn't call me early in the morning. It seems to me he called me now, it wasn't before noon--this I will swear, at least I can't remember. He called me enough after 4, after 8 o'clock to make up for all the calls he didn't. One call. I think he was in the club, and I would say after 12 o'clock, but I don't know when.
I don't know, I am just assuming that many times. I never know where he is at. I don't question about where he is at. It don't make any difference, unless he is in the neighborhood, like Friday, I might have questioned him when he said he was going to Phil's. I said, "Where are you," and he said, "I am in the club."

Mr. Griffin.

I am going to get on for a second here. Do you remember calling a man named John Henry Branch on Saturday, November 23?

Mrs. Grant.

Me?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes. Do you know who Branch is?

Mrs. Grant.

Yes; I know him. Gee, I don't know. I have called him different times, but I don't remember talking to him.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you remember trying to make some arrangements with Branch about getting a pianoplayer?

Mrs. Grant.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

When did you do that?

Mrs. Grant.

I don't know, I was having trouble right along. [I believe it was Friday, November 15.]

Mr. Griffin.

Was that after you went in the hospital, or before you were in the hospital?

Mrs. Grant.

Well, .Joe left the first week in November. I have called Henry Branch, I think it was, before my operation, now that you brought it back to me. I don't remember calling that Friday or Saturday, unless I wanted to show some people, because I had a pianoplayer. Leonard Wood was working for me. He was the pianoplayer.

Mr. Griffin.

But he quit you fairly soon?

Mrs. Grant.

But he was working then, because I want to tell you what happened. He had called the house. Now listen closely. Leonard Wood called the house. You brought that up, and I have all reasons to believe it was Friday night. And he said, "How do you feel, Mrs. Grant?"
You know one thing about the colored people, since I have been sick, most of them were very nice, even if they hated me. I know if I got mad at them, like Joe, we still love him I don't know what it is, he had called, and I have reasons to believe it was Friday night.
Now, listen to this. He said, "How do you feel?" Now, I may have called him and told him not to come into work, or Jack called, or someone had called him.

Mr. Griffin.

Who called the personnel at the Vegas Club to tell them not to come to work? Did you make any calls to your personnel at the Vegas Club?
