Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. So you felt that in the month or 2 months that you
worked for Jack, both the Vegas and the Carousel were self-sustaining
operations?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. After this entry about Jerry Lindsay, there is a telephone
number TA 7-2553 floorman, and I understand from your testimony those
all should be read together. Then there is a line with nothing written
on it and there is a notation which I wonder if you can decipher.
Mr. CRAFARD. “Talked to Leo—Mrs. Grant.”
Mr. GRIFFIN. Would you recall the significance of that, who Leo was?
Mr. CRAFARD. He worked at, I believe he was handling the floor at the
Carousel most of the time. I don’t recall what his last name was. I
believe this was the night that I stayed at the Vegas Club for Jack the
first night. I believe Leo called and I talked to him and then I talked
to Mrs. Grant right away. Mrs. Grant called right away after that and I
talked to her. I am not positive.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Is it your impression that the call from Jerry Lindsay was
also taken at the Vegas Club?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; the call from Jerry Lindsay was taken at the Carousel
Club.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about the telephone number under that, EM——
Mr. CRAFARD. That is FL 1-9303.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes; do you know what——
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t recall what it would be in connection with, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Or the next telephone number.
Mr. CRAFARD. No, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. That concludes page 5. Now let me turn over to page 6.
There are some entries on there, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and then from Sunday through Monday you
have entries of amounts of money after that. Did you make those entries
on there?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And what do those refer to?
Mr. CRAFARD. It refers to draws that I made from the till.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall what week that would have been that you made
that entry?
Mr. CRAFARD. No sir; I don’t.
Mr. GRIFFIN. The entries for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are not
complete. Do you have any recollection on the basis of that that it was
the last week that you worked there?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; I don’t believe so, sir. I don’t believe it was. I
might have been but I don’t believe it was.
Mr. HUBERT. Larry, I notice that nowhere else in this little book are
there entries of that nature. Can we assume that you only kept such
records for 1 week or rather 4 days of 1 week?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe this was because of the fact that Jack had
agreed to start paying me a salary and he wanted me to keep track of
my draw slips, draws on that, and then it appears about Wednesday or
Thursday he told me to quit keeping it, didn’t have to keep track of it
any more or something.
Mr. HUBERT. When you first went there it was just on a draw basis.
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Then you talked to him about a salary?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. He told you that he would think it over.
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
