Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes; this is a notebook I used to keep phone numbers when
I was working for Mr. Jack Ruby.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you buy that notebook yourself?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes; I bought this myself.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And how soon after you went to work for Jack Ruby did you
buy that?
Mr. CRAFARD. About a week after I went to work for him. You look real
close on the front you will see my name on the front of it.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And did you write that in there?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Can you read what you see on there?
Mr. CRAFARD. C. L.—Larry Crafard, Carousel Club. Its got 1312½ Commerce
Street, Dallas, Tex. It’s real vague on there.
Mr. GRIFFIN. That is an impression that simply comes through as
actually scratches on there and doesn’t come through in any color?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; it doesn’t come through in any color.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, when you bought this book, did Jack Ruby give you any
instructions with respect to maintaining the book?
Mr. CRAFARD. Just use it to put phone numbers down in, addresses of
people that called in wanting to talk, called in, put the phone number
down so I’d know how he could get in touch with them.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did the notations that appear in there follow any sequence
either chronological or by topic or anything of that sort?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t believe they do, no.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Would you want to take the time to look at it and see if
you recognize any sequence in the entries?
Mr. CRAFARD. The first portion of the book on the first page is more or
less numbers which was used quite frequently.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You are referring to page 1?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes; page 1.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, do you want to look over on the back of page 1; the
reverse side?
Mr. CRAFARD. It is also numbers that were used quite frequently.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, look at page 2.
Mr. CRAFARD. Page 2, I believe, was an address on the top of page 2. It
was an address that I wrote down for Mr. Ruby.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What about the remaining entries on there. Were they
numbers that were used frequently?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; I don’t believe so.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you want to look at the reverse side of page 2?
Mr. CRAFARD. There is only one number on there, on the reverse side
of page 2 that we used very frequently. That was Little Lynn’s phone
number.
Mr. GRIFFIN. The front part of page 3?
Mr. CRAFARD. From the numbers on there, as far as I know, there was
only one of them that was used very frequently. It was Mickey Ryan. On
the reverse side is just more or less notations that were taken down
from phone calls. Then on page 4 is just numbers that were taken down
from phone calls. The first number on page 4, Norma Bennett, that was
that one girl I was trying to tell you about yesterday.
Mr. GRIFFIN. She was the waitress?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; she was the one I started saying about that Jack had
tried to get to work as a stripper to get her to work for this friend
of his, Ralph Paul.
