RECORDS AND BRIEFS
Q. And did you ever give him any information upon which he made any arrests?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. How many?
A. Quite a number of arrests.
Q. Information that you gave him where he didn’t score, but made an arrest, is that right?
A. Yes.
Q. I mean, you didn’t go into this stool pigeon business in order to be a shakedown artist, did you?
A. No, I just gave him the names of bookmakers, and how they worked.
Q. What is that?
A. I only gave names of bookmakers and how they worked.
Q. Yes, but you didn’t do this because you wanted to help the police shake them down, did you?
A. I didn’t do no shaking down.
Q. You wanted to help them find these gamblers, who you were betting with, is that right?
A. I just gave them names of bookmakers, how they worked, and they paid me for it.
Q. They paid you. You were making a couple of bucks on the side, is that right?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Legitimately, is that right?
A. Yes, sir.
