United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. CRAFARD. There was a possibility I would have waited until Friday
but I believe I would have made the entries on the day I made the draw.
Mr. HUBERT. I am suggesting to you that these sets of entries have to
do with the week in which President Kennedy was killed, and that is
that you had agreed upon a salary on the Wednesday.
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t recall exactly what week they had to do with, sir;
really. It could have been that week.
Mr. HUBERT. But you had agreed on salary?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. But not the amount of it?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right.
Mr. HUBERT. And you never were paid any?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right.
Mr. HUBERT. For instance, the Saturday before you left Dallas you were
not paid a salary.
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Had a salary been agreed upon prior to that time?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t recall that, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. If it had it would have been paid wouldn’t it?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes; it would have been.
Mr. HUBERT. Doesn’t that pinpoint then this series of days as being the
week during which President Kennedy was killed on a Friday.
Mr. CRAFARD. It seems to; yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. After the entry “Saturday” there is a blank line and then
there is an entry “call home as soon as possible.”
How did that come to be written?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t remember, sir. It could have been somebody called
in to have one of the girls call home or something like this. A couple
of the girls had been married and had children.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was that a note left for Jack Ruby or for yourself?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t believe it was for Jack Ruby. I don’t remember.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you carry this notebook on your person at all times?
Mr. CRAFARD. When I was in the club it was in my pocket all the time.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And when you were not in the club?
Mr. CRAFARD. Most of the time it would be in my pocket, anyway.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now there is a telephone number written after the previous
entry, and it is RI 1-4643. Do you remember that entry?
Mr. CRAFARD. No, sir; I don’t remember it.
Mr. GRIFFIN. That concludes page 6.
Now let me turn over page 6 to the back, and there is something written
on there, Schroll. Is that in your handwriting?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And then there is the name Dick Gifford, KTVT, Fort Worth,
TA 3-7110. Is that in your handwriting?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now do you remember how this Schroll name happened to be
written down?
Mr. CRAFARD. No, sir; I don’t.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Or who that refers to?
Mr. CRAFARD. No, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about Dick Gifford?
Mr. CRAFARD. He was I believe an MC over at the KTVT.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now do you remember how that entry happened to be put in
there?
Mr. CRAFARD. It was something in connection with the twist board setup.
I called him in connection with—Jack give me the number to call and ask
for this Dick Gifford.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Then what did you say to Dick Gifford?
