Q. You asked the pool room…
A. There was a pool room back at the railway building which was filled up with young men and there was quite a crowd in there, the back pool room. So I went in and asked the man if he would kindly close at 9.30. And he said he would at 9.30. And no one said another word to him. The blinds were left up, lights on and the place was closed up. That was at 9.00 o’clock I went in there. At 9.00 asked him if he would close at 9.30. Lest him finish any games that were going on. I said certainly. He said he would close at 9.30.
Q. Did not you or somebody ask the man not to let the people out, keep them there ?
A. No. I went in myself and asked — no other conversation with him.
