United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. How did they know that? How do you remember that they knew
that?
Mr. CRAFARD. Well, the fact, the reason I remember it, there was some
mail in on Jack’s desk for one of the guys and he told me to bring it
out by the cash register on the front desk and give it to them when I
went in, and when I went and got it there was this letter addressed to
me. I said something to Jack because he hadn’t give it to me and he
said he didn’t know that was my name, and Andy was there when I said
something.
Mr. HUBERT. Have you any reason to believe that he or Andy made a
record of your aunt’s address?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. HUBERT. When you left, then, so far as you knew, no one was aware
of your aunt’s address or of Gail Eaton’s address?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right.
Mr. HUBERT. You had forgotten that the envelope was in the wastepaper
basket?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes; I had said something to one of the waitresses about
my cousin in Michigan, about where she had lived in Michigan, that she
lived in Harrison.
Mr. HUBERT. Which one of the waitresses did you say that to?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe there was two of them there at the time. I think
it was Bonnie and Little Marg, Marjory.
Mr. HUBERT. You had told them that you had a cousin called Gail?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. And that she lived in Harrison?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. How close a cousin was that to you, a first cousin?
Mr. CRAFARD. A first cousin.
Mr. HUBERT. Was there any sort of affection between you?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes; there was.
Mr. HUBERT. Had you told that to the girls?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe I said something to them about the fact.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you see Gail when you stopped with your aunt?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, she knew you worked for Ruby at a Carousel Club?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. When you got to see her, the news was out that Ruby had
killed Oswald?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you speak to her about your connection with Ruby?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe we discussed it; yes. I know we talked about it.
I told her about what I had done for Jack, what kind of work I had done
with him.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you tell her when you left?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you tell her or them—by them I mean your aunt and
uncle—the circumstances under which you had left?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t know for sure if I did or not, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. You must have told them that you left prior to Oswald’s
being shot.
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes; I told them that I had left Saturday, about noon
Saturday.
Mr. HUBERT. Did they seem to express any concern about the matter?
Mr. CRAFARD. Not that I can recall.
Mr. HUBERT. Had you come to form in your own mind some concern about
the matter?
Mr. CRAFARD. Not other than the fact that I figured that I did say if I
heard anything in the news about looking for an employee of Ruby’s that
had left, I would go to the law officers and let them know who I was
and that I had been working for Ruby.
