Mr. HUBERT. That Belli had told him?
Mrs. GRANT. Yes; and this is what took place in their conversation.
Mr. HUBERT. When you were quoting some sentences there a moment ago, I
understood you to mean, and see if I am correct, that Earl was telling
you what Belli had told him?
Mrs. GRANT. Yes, and I don’t know if there was a contract—I assumed it
was agreeable with Earl. Earl already had talked to a fellow by the
name of Billy Woodfield, the writer. Billy Woodfield, and don’t ask me
how they got connected—I know little about these things—he’s going to
write a short story for Europe, and he probably could help us raise
this initial $25,000 cash. Well, no; he didn’t say that—that was for
his expenses—he didn’t get any money down that day as far as I know.
