Warren Commission (14 of 26): Hearings Vol. XIV (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe he went on for a few minutes about it.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did Jack ever talk to you about his feelings toward his
sister Eva?
Mr. CRAFARD. Not that I can remember; no.
Mr. GRIFFIN. So you weren’t aware of any hard feelings between Eva and
Jack?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about his feelings toward Abe Weinstein, the man who
ran the Colony Club, did Jack discuss those feelings?
Mr. CRAFARD. No. From what I can remember any time Jack talked to Mr.
Weinstein they got along fairly good.
Mr. GRIFFIN. So am I correct in understanding the way you describe Jack
when he had somebody that he didn’t like or had some hostility toward,
that he would only display this in the presence of that person in
solving some problem with the individual face to face?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes; I believe so.
Mr. HUBERT. Let me get back to the afternoon of the 22d again. What
time did Andrew Armstrong leave, do you remember?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t remember the exact time; no.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, about?
Mr. CRAFARD. Maybe 3:30, 4 o’clock, maybe a little later.
Mr. HUBERT. Did he leave before Jack left?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe it was after Jack left.
Mr. HUBERT. And you never saw him again really until you saw him in the
courthouse in Dallas?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is right.
Mr. HUBERT. Later that night you were with Jack; weren’t you?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. As a matter of fact, everybody was reading, talking about
Oswald.
Mr. CRAFARD. I am not sure; sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Isn’t it a fact that Ruby had a paper, was reading a
newspaper?
Mr. CRAFARD. He more than likely did, but I don’t remember it, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, you are aware that Oswald had shot the President or
that it was believed that he had?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. And you were talking with Ruby about the whole thing,
weren’t you?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes; I imagine.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, now, if at that time you knew from Armstrong that
Oswald had been in the club, don’t you think you would have mentioned
to Jack, “Say, you know somebody says Oswald was in the club?”
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes; I believe I would have mentioned the fact that I had
been told that Oswald had been in the club.
Mr. HUBERT. Does that help your memory as to when you got this remark?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; it doesn’t. The fact it even makes me more positive
that it was after I left Dallas before I heard about it, because if I
had said something like that to Jack I believe I would have remembered
it.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, I’ll tell you what I suggest you do, since the matter
has only been really brought to your attention in the last hour or
so, you know, I suggest that you give it some more thought and try
to reconcile the different possibilities that exist as to when this
information came to you in light of the questions we have asked you and
the possibilities that have been expressed. Would you do that?
Mr. CRAFARD. I have been doing so right along.
Mr. HUBERT. Let’s go to something else, and we can come back to that.
