United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. CRAFARD. I wasn’t positive that they were. I thought they might be;
yes.
Mr. HUBERT. You had a pretty good idea that they might be?
Mr. CRAFARD. Like I say, I thought they might be looking for me but I
wasn’t positive.
Mr. HUBERT. Wouldn’t you want to find out positive evidence they were
looking for you?
Mr. CRAFARD. If there had been any definite evidence they were looking
for me, I would have went into the nearest police station and told them
who I was.
Mr. HUBERT. What do you mean by definite evidence?
Mr. CRAFARD. The fact I knew for sure they were. I said I just thought
that they might be.
Mr. HUBERT. You just told us that you thought that they might be?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right; I said that I thought they might be.
Mr. HUBERT. That wasn’t enough to cause you to——
Mr. CRAFARD. No, sir; it isn’t.
Mr. HUBERT. Were you contemplating, as a matter of fact, going to some
police agency prior to the time the FBI came to you?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; I don’t believe that I was.
Mr. HUBERT. How did you expect to get this positive evidence that they
were looking for you?
Mr. CRAFARD. I just figured if it was possible they might put something
in the paper or maybe something over the radio or something and if I
heard that they was looking for a young fellow that had worked for Ruby
by the name of Larry or anything like that, they was looking for this
young fellow that had worked for Ruby or anything, that I would have
went in and told them who I was.
Mr. HUBERT. I understood you said there was no radio or newspaper at
your sister’s house.
Mr. CRAFARD. No; but I was at other people’s places that had radios.
Mr. HUBERT. You expected to get the information that way?
Mr. CRAFARD. I didn’t stay with my sister all the time.
Mr. HUBERT. So that you were making an effort to find out if they were
looking for you?
Mr. CRAFARD. I was where I would have found out if it was so, yes, on
several occasions.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, you went to listen to radio programs or TV
programs with an effort to find out, among other things, whether they
were looking for you?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right.
Mr. HUBERT. So that you might communicate with them and tell them where
you were?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right. I figured one thing. I hadn’t done anything
wrong. I had no reason to hide from anything because I hadn’t done
anything wrong, so if there had been any indication whatsoever that
they was looking for me I would have walked into the nearest police
station and turned myself in.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you feel that anybody else had done anything wrong?
Mr. CRAFARD. No. I knew from what I had heard that Ruby had killed,
shot Oswald, I knew it was wrong. Like I say, I mean I had no idea that
anybody else connected with him had done anything.
Mr. HUBERT. What made you think in the first place that there might be
some suspicion cast upon you?
