United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. Can you tell us why you didn’t write a note saying why you
were leaving, where you would be?
Mr. CRAFARD. I can’t say why other than what I have said the other day.
Mr. HUBERT. Were you aware that Jack would argue you into staying?
Mr. CRAFARD. I thought he probably would; if I called him or anything
he would probably do his best to get me to stay, and I had made up my
mind to leave and I didn’t want to have to argue with him.
Mr. HUBERT. Of course, that wouldn’t have prevented your writing a note.
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Or of calling Armstrong.
Mr. CRAFARD. I didn’t even think about it a bit.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you think at all about calling anybody?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. This wasn’t even a matter that you pondered as to whether
you should or should not call?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; nothing I had thought of. I never had any idea. I
didn’t feel that there was any real reason for me to call anyone.
Mr. HUBERT. I think you told me that you felt grateful to Jack for what
he had done for you.
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. And that the motivation for your leaving was not any anger.
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right.
Mr. HUBERT. On your part against him, but, rather, that you wanted to
see your sister?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right.
Mr. HUBERT. You don’t think you owed it to him just to leave him a note?
Mr. CRAFARD. It just never entered my mind.
Mr. HUBERT. Did it occur to you that there might be a question of how
much cash you had in fact taken?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. HUBERT. What about the salary that was owed to you? Weren’t you
interested in that?
Mr. CRAFARD. I didn’t even think about it.
Mr. HUBERT. You didn’t say goodbye to anybody when you left Dallas?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. HUBERT. You didn’t advise anyone that you were leaving Dallas?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; other than the fact that I give the key to the boy at
the parking lot and told him to tell Jack goodbye for me.
Mr. HUBERT. You did send a message of goodbye to Jack through this man?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you leave word where you would be?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you leave any message to the effect that you had taken
$5 out of the till?
Mr. CRAFARD. I left a draw slip in the till just like I always have.
Mr. HUBERT. Were you in any kind of trouble there with a girl or
something of that sort?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. HUBERT. That required you to leave as hastily as you did?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Is it your custom to move around like that without leaving
any contact points?
Mr. CRAFARD. Quite frequently; yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Who knew you were working at the Carousel among your family
or friends?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe I had wrote my cousin and informed her. I
believe I wrote my mother and informed her.
Mr. HUBERT. This girl Gail knew it?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is my cousin.
Mr. HUBERT. That is your cousin?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes; the cousin I was referring to at this time.
