United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, there is some writing on the inside of the back
cover. There are three telephone numbers, RI 7-7436, CH 2-3442, CH
2-4114. What do those numbers relate to, if you know?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t know.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, there is another number Newton. There is a name
Newton. Does that mean anything to you?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Is that in your handwriting?
Mr. CRAFARD. I’m not positive of that. It doesn’t appear to be my
writing.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What is the number written under the name Newton?
Mr. CRAFARD. 2550.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Is that your handwriting?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. That is not your handwriting?
Mr. CRAFARD. No. I don’t ever recall of having wrote any of those
written in ink.
Mr. GRIFFIN. That would be everything on that page except the RI 7-7436?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, on the outside portion of the back cover there are
some other things written on there. See if you can tell us what those
are.
Mr. CRAFARD. The name J. L. Coxsey.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you know this person?
Mr. CRAFARD. No. The name Coxsey is the name of one of the gentlemen I
went to church with when my wife and I were living in Dallas.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How would that be spelled?
Mr. CRAFARD. His name was Lee Coxsey.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Is that the same gentleman?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; I don’t believe so. And there is the number under that
that I can’t make out. Then there is a number EV 1-6979, and there is,
it looks like LV or something. I can’t understand that a bit. There is
the number FL 2-8995.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Are those things in your handwriting?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall where you left that book when you departed
from Dallas?
Mr. CRAFARD. It was either in Jack’s office or in the room right in
front of his office where I slept days. I’m not positive whether I left
it on his desk or on a stand in my room.
Mr. GRIFFIN. But in any event did you leave it in the open, or did you
leave it in a drawer?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe it was lying right out on top of a table or a
desk, whichever it was. I’m not positive.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Mr. Hubert do you have any questions you want to ask?
Mr. HUBERT. Did I understand you to say earlier this morning that
normally you kept that book on your person?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. You didn’t leave it hanging around?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right. On occasion, Jack would be there and I
would be giving him a number and he would want me to go down maybe get
a paper or something like that and I’d leave the book lay on one of the
tables near the phone and go down and come back up.
Mr. HUBERT. Then you would get your book back?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. I guess it is fair to say, then, that except for those
occasions, and then when you left the book, when you departed from
Dallas, the book was always in your possession?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
