Mr. CRAFARD. It could have been; yes, sir. It was from the Dallas, one
of the Dallas police departments.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Well, did it have the name that was written on this card
or printed on the card, did it have a rank in connection with it?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t believe so.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Could it have been a card from a justice of the peace?
Mr. CRAFARD. No, I don’t believe so. I never saw a justice of a peace
card with an emblem of a shield on it. They usually have the emblem of
the Justice Department.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You mentioned Bill Willis as being a close friend of Jack.
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was Bill Willis the leader of the band that played at the
Carousel?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe so; yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Are you sure of that?
Mr. CRAFARD. I am not positive but I believe he was.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was Bill Willis, Ruby’s closest friend, in the band?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What led you to that conclusion?
Mr. CRAFARD. Well, the fact that they would talk together quite often,
if something come up in connection with the band it was always Bill
he talked to. Bill seemed to talk to Ruby more than any of the other
member of the band, and Ruby when he talked to anybody in the band it
would be to Bill Willis more than anyone else.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I am going to depart from this exhibit for a bit. You
worked for the Tear Plating Company?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I am not clear whether that was in Texas or Oregon.
Mr. CRAFARD. In Dallas, Tex.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about the Ablon Poultry?
Mr. CRAFARD. Dallas, Tex.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you know a detective by the name of Joe Cody?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe that Jack had me call him on one occasion where
he wanted to talk to him.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You mentioned that you worked at the Dallas State Fair for
Bob Craven and Deke Miles.
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was there anything about those men that would have led you
to believe that they were homosexuals?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. While you were working for Jack did you know that he was
getting any skin or scalp treatments of any sort?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you know anything about any trichology treatments he
was getting?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did Jack express, ever express any concern about his
baldness?
Mr. CRAFARD. Not that I remember.
Mr. GRIFFIN. This wasn’t a subject that he joked about or that other
people kidded him about?
Mr. CRAFARD. Not that I remember; no.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall while you were working for Jack, Jack’s
making any inquiry concerning a business partner?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes. He was trying to get somebody to go in with him to
open another club in Dallas.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What did you hear him say about that?
