United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. Did you ever notice that some of the entries were made by
someone else in that book prior to the time you left for Dallas?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Are you willing to say that they were not made prior to the
time you left for Dallas?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, specifically, some of the entries that you have said
are not in your handwriting——
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Were not in that book when you left for Dallas?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right.
Mr. HUBERT. What makes you sure of that?
Mr. CRAFARD. Nobody else had wrote in the book.
Mr. HUBERT. No one had a chance to?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right.
Mr. HUBERT. Jack would have had a chance to on a few occasions?
Mr. CRAFARD. On a couple of occasions he had a notebook just like it
that he carried himself.
Mr. HUBERT. But you never saw these entries even after Jack had
occasion to write them in?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right. I never noticed them.
Mr. HUBERT. And no one else had a chance to write them in?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right.
Mr. HUBERT. Would it have been possible that those entries were written
prior to the time you left Dallas?
Mr. CRAFARD. I doubt it very much. It was possible, but I doubt very
much if they were.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, you testified this morning earlier, too, that the book
seemed to be somewhat different from when you last saw it in Dallas.
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. In what ways did it seem different?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe there were more pages in it than was there.
Mr. HUBERT. Pages with writing, or blank pages?
Mr. CRAFARD. I can’t recall whether they was all blank pages or whether
they had writing on them, or what.
Mr. HUBERT. Let’s put it this way: Do you recall any particular pages
that are not in that book at the present time?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. HUBERT. You are not in a position to say, then, really, that any
pages with information on them have been taken out?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right.
Mr. HUBERT. Your impression that the book is different than it was
before you left Dallas is based then upon the size of the book?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Does it seem to have fewer blank pages now than it did
before?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes. I thought there was half a dozen or so blank pages in
the middle of the book last time I used it.
Mr. HUBERT. What was your purpose in leaving the book in Dallas when
you determined to go away?
Mr. CRAFARD. There was numbers that, to me, that had to do with this
business and they didn’t mean anything to me, so I just left it there.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you do that deliberately?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes. I figured they was numbers that he wanted. It didn’t
mean anything to me. I had no use for it.
Mr. HUBERT. You wanted to see that he got them?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. But you don’t know where you left the book?
Mr. CRAFARD. I either left it—I am not positive exactly where I left
it. It was either in his office on the desk or in my room on a stand
where he would have saw it.
