United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. And your testimony now is that after you all had talked
about a salary he wanted to know what your draw was so that he could
adjust the salary accordingly, is that right?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. So that these entries would have been made about the time
that you talked about a salary?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes, sir. It would have been about 3 weeks before the
assassination of President Kennedy I believe, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. That you talked about——
Mr. CRAFARD. About the salary; yes.
Mr. HUBERT. It is fair to say then that these entries relate to that
week, to wit, about 3 weeks before the assassination.
Mr. CRAFARD. It would be 2 or 3 weeks before the assassination.
Mr. HUBERT. You said that the significance of the fact that there are
no entries for Thursday, Friday and Saturday is that Jack told you that
it was no longer necessary to keep a record of your draws?
Mr. CRAFARD. I would believe so; yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. What did that mean with respect to whether you were going
on salary or not?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t remember what it had to do with that, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you go on a salary?
Mr. CRAFARD. I never was paid any salary.
Mr. HUBERT. But you do remember he told you to stop keeping a record.
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe that would be the reason that I quit. I don’t
actually recall him saying so but I believe that would be the reason.
Mr. HUBERT. Doesn’t that refresh your memory?
Mr. CRAFARD. No sir; it doesn’t.
Mr. HUBERT. You didn’t let me finish but I will repeat it. Doesn’t that
refresh your memory with respect to the fact that you all had agreed
upon a salary then? Could it have any other significance?
Mr. CRAFARD. He had said something; he said I would draw a salary but
I don’t believe there was ever any exact figure agreed upon. I don’t
remember of any.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, on Wednesday, although you had not agreed
on what the amount of the salary would be, your recollection is that he
told you it was no longer necessary to keep this because there would be
a salary?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes; I believe so.
Mr. HUBERT. But there never was any salary paid at all.
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right.
Mr. HUBERT. When did you normally make these entries?
Mr. CRAFARD. Whenever I’d make a draw. Usually in the evening I made
most of my draws.
Mr. HUBERT. And you would put it in the book immediately.
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes; usually.
Mr. HUBERT. Isn’t it a fact that sometimes you would put it in there
the next day.
Mr. CRAFARD. I might sometimes the next day; yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Isn’t it a fact also that at the beginning of that week you
wrote down all of these days and then the entries were made as you drew
for each day?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Now an entry for Thursday would have been made on Friday,
wouldn’t it?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe it would have been made on Thursday.
Mr. HUBERT. I think you just told me that there was at least the
possibility.
