United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. CRAFARD. Bill DeMar, Wichita, Kans. The telephone number JA 4-4241.
The telephone number JA 8-6116. Bill DeMar was a comedian that Ruby
had hired to come down to the club, and these are the numbers where
he could be reached. I believe one was a motel number and one was a
business number or something of that sort. I am not sure.
Mr. GRIFFIN. The entries in connection with Earl Products Co. and Bill
DeMar are all written in pencil.
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And I want to ask you if these would have followed in
sequence or whether you were making these entries in there because they
were entries which were to be kept or sort of on a permanent basis?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t believe they follow sequence, I don’t believe the
number of Bill DeMar, numbers would be anything we would keep on a
permanent basis as far as I can recall.
Mr. GRIFFIN. But you also don’t think that Bill DeMar called shortly
after or that number was given to you shortly after the Earl Products
number was given to you so that the two of them were made at roughly
the same time?
Mr. CRAFARD. I am not positive of that, sir. They could have been.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Let me ask you about Bill DeMar. Did Jack have any
business with Bill DeMar other than to hire him as an entertainer?
Mr. CRAFARD. As far as I know, no.
Mr. GRIFFIN. After the entries in connection with Bill DeMar, there is
a line on which nothing is written, and then there is an entry Little
Lynn OP 34, and then 817—JE 4-8525. Do you remember making that entry?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you remember approximately when that entry was made?
Mr. CRAFARD. No, sir; I couldn’t say for dates. It was made about I
believe 2 or 3 days before Jack hired Little Lynn.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And how did that call happen to come in?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t remember how it come about, but he give me the
number so he could have it to call Little Lynn.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Jack gave you that number or did you answer the telephone
and get that number from a long distance operator?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe Jack gave me the number. I am not positive.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, after that there are some entries. Some figures
written on the next two lines. Can you tell us what those numbers are?
Mr. CRAFARD. No, sir; I don’t know what they mean. There is the number
875, and number 1750. It seems like a hyphen behind the numbers with a
dash, and a three behind that.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You haven’t any recollection what that might relate to?
Mr. CRAFARD. No, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. That concludes the reverse side of page 2.
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I am going to turn over to page 3. What is the name
written at the top?
Mr. CRAFARD. The top line is “See Paul Lubeachick.”
Mr. GRIFFIN. How does he spell that?
