Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was this somebody that Jack dealt with regularly?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes. Four or five different times that I know of Abe
called the club, and several times that Jack called Abe.
Mr. GRIFFIN. There is a telephone number under there, “RI 8——”
Mr. CRAFARD. “4272.”
Mr. GRIFFIN. Is that Abe Klinman’s?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. On the next line there is something written in there.
Mr. CRAFARD. The word “personal,” the letters “UN,” that is a telephone
No. “UN-3-0400.”
Mr. GRIFFIN. Whose number is that?
Mr. CRAFARD. Mr. Earl Ruby’s in Detroit, that is his home phone number.
Mr. GRIFFIN. While you were at the Carousel, do you recall Jack’s ever
telephoning Earl Ruby or Earl Ruby ever telephoning Jack?
Mr. CRAFARD. Jack phoned Earl two or three different times. I don’t
recall Earl phoning Jack.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall why it was Jack called Earl?
Mr. CRAFARD. In connection—the one time that I can really recall was in
connection with the twist boards.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How soon was that after you went to work for Jack?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe that would have been about 2 or 3 weeks after I
went to work for Jack.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And what do you recall about that telephone call?
Mr. CRAFARD. Just the fact that he told Earl about the twist boards,
and he told him he’d send him a couple of them and some of the
advertisement he had on them, so he could promote them a little bit up
Detroit.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you overhear this telephone conversation?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes, sir; there was something said about how they was
doing there, how they was selling there in Dallas, and the fact that
Jack thought that they would really go over pretty good up in Detroit,
Chicago, and in that area.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, there is a number under “Earl Ruby, Detroit” is
written under “personal UN-3400” and under “Earl Ruby, Detroit” there
are some other notations. Would you indicate what those are?
Mr. CRAFARD. It would be the No. 313 would be a code number, I believe,
for Detroit. The phone No. “UN 3-5590” which would be the business
number for Earl Ruby, and the words “Cobo Laundry” with the address
“18135 Livernoise Avenue,” Livernoise Street.
Mr. GRIFFIN. May I point out for the record that Livernoise is written
on two lines along the right-hand side of the page under the line
which says “Cobo Laundry 18135” on it, and it is bracketed off from a
notation, which is “Ed Pullman” and on the next line “TA-34484.”
Do you recognize the name Ed Pullman?
Mr. CRAFARD. He was a gentleman there in Dallas, I believe, that Jack
called several times.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you know what his dealings were with Ed Pullman?
Mr. CRAFARD. No, I do not.
Mr. GRIFFIN. There is a line under that telephone number, “UN-3” and
then “UN-3” is scratched out and then on the following line there is a
name written. What is that name?
Mr. CRAFARD. Leona Miller.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Who was she?
