Warren Commission (14 of 26): Hearings Vol. XIV (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. You testified that you believe Little Lynn called sometime
on Friday evening, November 22?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What time would be your recollection that telephone call
was received, was it before or after you had dinner at 8 o’clock over
at the drug store?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe that was before I had dinner. I believe I said
something to Jack about it when he came back and he said if she called
again to give, tell her to call Miss Grant.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did she call back?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe so. And I told her to call Miss Grant.
Mr. GRIFFIN. On page 151 of Exhibit 5226 you are reported as saying in
connection with the photograph of the Earl Warren sign and the post
office box and I am quoting from the FBI report, “Crafard said he was
completely puzzled as Earl Warren was unknown to him.”
I believe you testified earlier here in Washington that you recall Ruby
making some connection between an advertisement that he had seen in the
newspaper and the Earl Warren sign.
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you remember that connection at the time you talked
with the FBI?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe I said something to them about the numbers on
the address having something to do with something else that Ruby had
talked about. I don’t believe I would have anything to do with this
advertisement. I don’t believe anything on that.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Is it possible that—are you clear that Ruby, now, that
Ruby did make some connection between the advertisement and the sign?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes; very clear. It was in connection with the addresses
on the sign and this post office box number on this ad that he had saw
in the paper.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Are you making this statement as a result of something
that you personally recall or is this something that is now in your
mind because of conversations you may have had with other people?
Mr. CRAFARD. This is something that I personally, clearly recall him
making the statement.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Is it—Mr. Hubert, do you have any questions you want to
ask along that line?
On page 153 of Exhibit 5226 the FBI reports and I quote, “He knows of
no police contacts on Ruby’s behalf but said Ruby did keep a police
card in the cash register at the Carousel with a name unknown to him on
it.”
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Would you describe this police card?
Mr. CRAFARD. It was a white card with the emblem of a badge on it
with some numbers on top of it, numbers on the badge. I can’t recall
what they were, if they were even clear. I believe it to have been in
connection with some sort of a police club or something of that sort,
either that or it was a detective’s card that he might have one of the
business cards, something.
Mr. GRIFFIN. It was a card about the size of a business card?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And could you tell what police department this person was
from?
Mr. CRAFARD. Dallas, Tex., Police Department.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Could it have been the Dallas County Sheriff’s office?
