Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. CRAFARD. This is all on my own. At that time, I was going to try
to get in touch with my brother-in-law who lives in Dallas, Tex., and
this Overton Road, I believe, is where one of the people that I went to
church with lived, out on Hawthorne Drive.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about Porta——
Mr. CRAFARD. I had at one time worked for Porter Building Corp.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Is that in Dallas?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When had you worked for them?
Mr. CRAFARD. I had worked for them the year before, the previous year.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Were you going to contact them?
Mr. CRAFARD. I was thinking about, maybe seeing if they needed any men
down there, or something.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When did you make that entry?
Mr. CRAFARD. This was about a month before President Kennedy was
assassinated.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you ever contact them about a job?
Mr. CRAFARD. I called them one time, I believe, and the gentleman
wasn’t there that I had talked to, and I never called back. The Litot
Trailer Park, that is where we was staying, where my wife and I lived
when we was living in Dallas.
Mr. GRIFFIN. That is the next entry on there?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about the telephone number?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is the number of the Litot Trailer Park.
Mr. GRIFFIN. That concludes page 17, the front half. On the back half
of page 17 there is a notation. What is that?
Mr. CRAFARD. Call Buddy Heard, El Paso, dial direct, tell them that you
are in town, that you are a friend and would like to get in touch with
him. This is something for Andy. He was to call Buddy Heard in El Paso.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did Andy go to El Paso?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; he was to make a call; dial direct to El Paso as if he
was in El Paso. I don’t remember exactly what it had something to do
with. It seemed like this Buddy here was a comedian or something that
Jack was trying to hire or something of that sort.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was Andy going to try to hire him?
Mr. CRAFARD. I think it was just he was doing that for Jack, trying to
find out how to get in touch with him. I am not sure.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, there are two lines with no writing on them, and then
there is another entry. What is that?
Mr. CRAFARD. The name Mary.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you know anybody named Mary, in Dallas?
Mr. CRAFARD. It has no meaning to me except the fact that my
sister-in-law’s name is Mary.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about the telephone number under that?
Mr. CRAFARD. It has no meaning to me whatsoever.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And then the next telephone number?
Mr. CRAFARD. It has no meaning, either.
Mr. GRIFFIN. That last telephone number on the page is RI 1-1456, and
the other telephone number on that page is DA 4-4378. That concludes
the back of page 17. Turning over to page 18, there are some entries on
there. What is the first entry on the page?
Mr. CRAFARD. It is D 2 with a dash and then the figure 175, $1.75.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What is that?
Mr. CRAFARD. I am not sure unless it is maybe some draws I took that
day or something.
