(Testimony of Bernard William , Accompanied By Weissman)

Mr. Jenner.
Now, you and Mr. Burley then went to Dallas, did you?
Mr. Weissman.
That is right. We left on the 2d of November.
Mr. Jenner.
And that would have been following the receipt of the letter of October 29, which we have identified as----
Mr. Weissman.
Commission Exhibit No. 1032.
Mr. Jenner.
How did you get there?
Mr. Weissman.
I drove in my car.
Mr. Jenner.
Did Mr. Burley accompany you?
Mr. Weissman.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you stop off anywhere on the way?
Mr. Weissman.
We stopped at his mother's house in South Carolina for about 4 or 5 hours.
Mr. Jenner.
And when you reached Dallas, did you find a room, or what did you do?
Mr. Weissman.
That night we stayed at Larrie's house. We got there about 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
Mr. Jenner.
Where does he live?
Mr. Weissman.
At that time he was living at the Eden Roe Apartments, in Dallas.
Mr. Jenner.
Is he a married man?
Mr. Weissman.
He was.
Mr. Jenner.
I take it he was separated from his wife at that time?
Mr. Weissman.
No, no. He has been divorced since.
Mr. Jenner.
But he was living with his wife at that time?
Mr. Weissman.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
By the way, is Mr. Burley a married man, also?
Mr. Weissman.
I spoke with him just the other day. His divorce will be final in about 6 weeks, he thinks.
Mr. Jenner.
He was married at that time?
Mr. Weissman.
Yes; separated.
Mr. Jenner.
Where was his wife living?
Mr. Weissman.
In West Virginia, I believe.
Mr. Jenner.
He had a family, did he not, several children?
Mr. Weissman.
Four or five children.
Mr. Jenner.
You stayed with him at the Eden Roc Apartments?
Mr. Weissman.
That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
That is, with Mr. Schmidt?
Mr. Weissman.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And then you and Mr. Burley arranged a room somewhere, did you?
Mr. Weissman.
We rented an apartment. I think we stayed with Larrie for 2 days, 2 or 3 days. Then we rented an apartment in Dallas.
Mr. Jenner.
Where was that?
Mr. Weissman.
I don't recall the address offhand.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. Now, approximately where are we now, as a matter of time in this period?
Mr. Weissman.
This is----
Mr. Jenner.
That you rented the apartment.
Mr. Weissman.
About the middle of the first week after we arrived in Dallas.
Mr. Jenner.
Which should be approximately what date?
Mr. Weissman.
About the 7th or so of November.
Mr. Jenner.
What did you do thereafter in the way of furthering the business of CUSA?
Mr. Weissman.
Well, we were thinking of buying a fourplex, a four-family apartment house.
Mr. Jenner.
Where were you going to get the money?
Mr. Weissman.
We could have gotten a loan, we hoped, with no downpayment, because of the fact we are GI's, through the FHA, or VA, and we were counting on that. So we were looking around. We had also planned to take over a private club, manage a private club, with an option to buy it.
Mr. Jenner.
What club was that?
Mr. Weissman.
That was the Ducharme Club.
