United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. But, as I understand it, then, the only one that really
discussed with you the position or the suspicion that you might be
under was your sister, and that neither your aunt nor your uncle nor
your cousin, Gail, nor your other cousin, Cliff Roberts, and his wife,
expressed any concern or discussed the matter with you at all?
Mr. CRAFARD. Not that I can recall where there was anything said about
that I might be suspected of anything.
Mr. HUBERT. The only one you really talked to about that was your
sister?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. You got to see her, I think, the night before the FBI came,
didn’t you?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. So that you really hadn’t had an opportunity to listen to
any radios or newspapers or to see whether anyone was looking for one
of Jack’s employees who had left suddenly?
Mr. CRAFARD. Not too much; no.
Mr. HUBERT. Had you had any?
Mr. CRAFARD. Just in the cars, when I was riding in the cars if they
had the radio on and the news was on I could hear whatever come over
the news that way.
Mr. HUBERT. That concern, then, that resolution of yours that if you
heard about that you would turn yourself in to the police was formed
much earlier than when you got to see your sister?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. It was formed when?
Mr. CRAFARD. Shortly after I heard, found out that Ruby had shot
Oswald. I decided the fact if I heard anything in the news about
that—that they was hunting for one of Ruby’s employees—I would have
gone to the nearest law officers and told them that I had been an
employee of Ruby’s.
Mr. HUBERT. I guess we had better break for lunch.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
(Whereupon, at 12:50 p.m., the proceeding was recessed.)
TESTIMONY OF CURTIS LaVERNE CRAFARD RESUMED
(The proceeding reconvened at 2:30 p.m.)
Mr. GRIFFIN. Let me repeat the statement we have been making at the
beginning of every one of these sessions, that this is a continuation
of the deposition which was begun on Wednesday morning with Mr. Crafard
and, of course, you understand, Larry, that the oath which you took at
the beginning is still in effect for this deposition.
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, before we proceed with the examination of further
documents, I might mention for the record that Mr. Crafard and I had
lunch this afternoon at Hogates Restaurant and we discussed informally
some of his experiences in Dallas and his impressions of the events
that have transpired since he first came to Dallas and since he left
Dallas, and I might—I am going to raise a few of the topics, and I hope
I cover them all. If I have left any of them out, I wish, Larry, that
you would clarify the record on it.
I ask you, first of all, if we had a conversation about the homosexual
relationship that you had mentioned before of Jack Ruby and George
Senator?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And did I ask you whether you felt that Jack and George
were involved in a homosexual relationship between themselves?
