Q: OK. He told you that it was that he had told you it was a vending machine guy but it wasn't really a vending machine guy, it was Rabbi Neulander...
A: Yeah.
Q: ... the guy you met at the synagogue a couple of months before who wanted his wife killed?
A: Yeah.
Q: Did he tell you at that time why he wanted his wife killed?
A: No.
Q: No. Now is this a day or two before the actual murder, or was this a day or two before the first time you went there? Cause you told us there were two different times you went?
A: The first day we went there.
Q: OK, so it was a day or two before the first time that you went there that you learned the true identity of the woman who was to be killed. And that was Rabbi Fred Neulander's wife?
A: Wife, yes.
Q: OK. What was the plan? What plan did you and Lenny talk about as far this killing?
A: He would go in this house. He would hit her with a pipe and then he would call me in there and then finish it up.
Q: And you would finish it up?
A: Yeah.
Q: OK. And that was the plan?
A: That was the plan.
Q: How did you know when Mrs. Neulander was going to be home?
A: Because uh Mr. Neulander said she comes home early on Tuesdays, and he works late on Tuesdays.
Q: OK. Did Mr. Neulander tell you that personally?
A: No.
Q: Who did he tell that to?
A: Len Jenoff.
Q: And Len Jenoff told you that that's what the Rabbi said?
A: Yes.
Q: That uh Tuesday night would be the best night because she comes home early and he works late?
A: Yes.

Q: OK and where were you that you saw her car pull up?
A: I was sitting in the car. In Len Jenoff's car.
Q: OK and where was that car parked that you could see it pull up?
A: In the driveway. Mr. Neulander's driveway.
Q: No. Mrs. Neulander's car was in the driveway, where were you guys parked?
A: We were parked right in front of the house.
Q: So you actually saw her pull up?
A: Yeah. Well no, we just saw her getting out of her car.
Q: Oh, you saw her getting out of the car?
A: Yeah.
Q: OK. Now, how did you get over there? What car were you in? Whose car was it?
A: Len Jenoff's car.

A: On the phone.
Q: And she was on the phone. OK, and where are you parked?
A: We parked right in front of the house.
Q: OK then what happens?
A: He went in and he gave her an envelope and she opened it up, and she said it was empty. He said oh, I must have the wrong envelope. I'll do it right now. And he just came back to the car and said that she was on the phone. So he didn't want to do nothing and then we pulled off.
