connection between Roob's and Grimes
] business with me than there would be
between you and Robb.

in a way, yes but J DO not ask him
what he is doing with mis- money or
what he wants to borrow money for any
more than l would anyone else. Now,
today his deposits were over seven
thousand dollars. I do not know what
/ his checks were. but you know the
number OF elevatars he runs. It takes
money 20 keep them going ] do not
mean that he owes one million dollars
or anything like II. But that simply
shows the volume OF his business IN
the year. II simply shows that forty
or fifty thousand dollars II he wants
that much, he would get II.

one time?
A. He has owed US over fifty thous-
ana dollars.
