United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. CRAFARD. Kathy Kay and I believe Tammi True in the dressing room.
The next photograph is the same.
The next photograph is Tammi True on stage. Going to the middle of the
first photograph is Tammi True. The middle series is all Tammi True on
stage.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recognize any of the patrons in here?
Mr. CRAFARD. No, I don’t; except on the top picture on the right-hand
corner shows the heavy set man we have mentioned before in the same
position as before.
On the right-hand column it shows Kathy Kay on the top photo.
The next three photos are all pictures of Johnny with his puppets.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Would that Johnny, would his name be Johnny Turner?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was he the only M.C., the only man who was employed at the
time?
Mr. CRAFARD. He was the only M.C. employed at that time; yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And the only other employees he had at that particular
time were strippers or entertainers?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes; strippers and the waitresses.
Mr. GRIFFIN. So let me understand this. That while you were there,
Billy DeMar was employed there?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Wally Weston?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Johnny Turner?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And anyone else?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe that was all. I can’t remember who the M.C. was
when I first went to work for Jack.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was it a different one other than the three we have
mentioned?
Mr. CRAFARD. I am not sure. That is what I was trying to remember.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did these M.C.’s have a regular run of a prescribed number
of weeks that they would play?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; maybe they might come in for 2 or 3 weeks, or they
might be there for 1 week and then they might stay for 3 or 4 months.
It would depend on the contract that they signed with Mr. Ruby.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did Buddy Heard ever come and appear?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t believe he was ever there while I was there.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I am going to show you what has been marked as Exhibit
5214 and I want to ask you if you recognize any of the patrons in those
photographs.
Mr. CRAFARD. The heavy set gentleman that has been mentioned before is
in the second photograph in the left-hand series. He is in the first
photograph in the middle series. That is all. But other than that, I
don’t recognize any of the other patrons.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I am going to hand you now what has been marked as 5214-A
and all the markings are in the same fashion as the previous ones. Do
you recognize any of the patrons in there?
Mr. CRAFARD. The patron in the second and third photographs on the
right-hand side looks familiar but I can’t place him.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What I am handing you is Exhibit 5215 which is also marked
in the same fashion as the others. Do you recognize any of the patrons
there?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
