Mr. Hubert.

Where dad you meet him ?

Mr. Johnson.

At his place of business.

Mr. Hubert.

At the Carousel?

Mr. Johnson.

At the Carousel.

Mr. Hubert.

Were you a guest there? That is to say, you were a paying customer or guest?

Mr. Johnson.

Paying customer initially. Turned out he would not let me pay the bill. He paid the bill. In other words, it was $9 or $10, as I recall.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you remember the reason why he stated he would pay your bill?

Mr. Johnson.

No reason. He didn't give me any reason.

Mr. Hubert.

He just said you couldn't pay and didn't want to take your money ?

Mr. Johnson.

Right.

Mr. Hubert.

Were you there alone or with someone else ?

Mr. Johnson.

No; I was by myself.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you talk to him while you were at the club ?

Mr. Johnson.

Very briefly.

Mr. Hubert.

How long did you stay there ?

Mr. Johnson.

Say again ?

Mr. Hubert.

How long did you stay there?

Mr. Johnson.

How long did I stay there?

Mr. Hubert.

At the club that night ?

Mr. Johnson.

Less than an hour.

Mr. Hubert.

Did it seem odd to you that he wouldn't let you pay in view of the fact that you hadn't known him before and that you had not talked to him very much ?

Mr. Johnson.

No, simply because he met me at the door. He shook hands with me at the door and invited me to have a drink. As a matter of fact, took me to the table and he ordered a drink, but the lady brought it over. A lady, I don't know who it was.

Mr. Hubert.

A waitress?

Mr. Johnson.

The waitress brought the drink to the table. Then he came and sat at the table for perhaps 10 minutes, and that was it.

Mr. Hubert.

Then when it came time to pay, the waitress wouldn't accept your money, or what was the situation?

Mr. Johnson.

No. When it came time to pay, when I got to the cash register,
the lady at the cash register said, "No, it is already paid."

Mr. Hubert.

You said something about $9 or $107

Mr. Johnson.

Less than $10. I don't remember; that is a long time ago.

Mr. Hubert.

Were you there about an hour, and how many drinks did you have?

Mr. Johnson.

Two. But he had a cover charge and a floor show sort of charge thing. I don't remember frankly what the costs were.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you actually take out some money to pay him ?

Mr. Johnson.

Yes, I took out a $10 bill.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you remember seeing the check?

Mr. Johnson.

Do I remember seeing the check?

Mr. Hubert.

Was the check brought over to you at the table?

Mr. Johnson.

Sure. I Carried the check from the table to the cash register, yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

You saw the check?

Mr. Johnson.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

In what amount was the check for?

Mr. Johnson.

I don't remember. It was a little more than $9, but less than $10.

Mr. Hubert.

You had a couple of drinks and then there was the door' charge, I think?

Mr. Johnson.

Cover charge.

Mr. Hubert.

Cover charge?

Mr. Johnson.

Right.

Mr. Hubert.

Was anything collected from you as you came in?
