Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. I show you Exhibit 5216. You will notice that this appears
to be the interior of a dressing room and there is some sort of a
plaque on the wall in the top two photographs in the center and the
photograph in the lower right-hand corner. Do you recall what that
plaque is?
Mr. CRAFARD. No, I don’t.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Can you state whether that picture was taken at the
Carousel?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, do you recognize those as Carousel Club dressing
rooms?
Mr. CRAFARD. Oh, yes. The dressing rooms have been redecorated since I
worked there, I know that.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did the dressing rooms look as they appear in that
photograph at any time while you were employed at the Carousel?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t believe that is the dressing room of the Carousel.
I don’t remember this stuff along the bottom picture, the left-hand
side of the bottom picture in the left-hand column. The plywood door
that is shown in several pictures, I don’t recognize that as being of
the dressing room at the Carousel.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I am going to hand you what has been marked in the same
fashion as Exhibit 5217. Do you recognize the patron that is shown in
that photograph?
Mr. CRAFARD. No, I don’t, but I believe from this picture I can pretty
well state that that other last picture was photographs of the girls’
dressing room, from the location of the table. Instead of a door that
was a window that had been boarded up.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I show you Exhibit 5218 which has been marked in the same
fashion. Do you recognize any of the patrons in that photograph?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about Exhibit 5219 which has been marked in the same
fashion? Do you recognize any of those patrons?
Mr. CRAFARD. Only that I believe this one has been showed in previous
pictures.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Is this a duplicate of something we already have?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t believe it is a duplicate, but I believe this
gentleman in the white shirt has been shown in previous pictures.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about 5220? Do you recognize any of the patrons there?
Mr. CRAFARD. Only this one gentleman here. I can make him out
especially in the bottom picture in the middle column.
Mr. GRIFFIN. With the white shirt on?
Mr. CRAFARD. The gentleman with the short-sleeved white shirt on I can
recognize him from the previous pictures.
Mr. GRIFFIN. But you don’t have a recollection of who he is?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t have a recollection of who he is. I don’t think I
ever knew the gentleman.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, Exhibit 5221, do you recognize any of the patrons in
there?
Mr. CRAFARD. Only the gentleman on the right-hand would be the back
down in the picture towards the right-hand side would be the far side
of the stage the heavy set gentlemen that has been mentioned before.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you know Officer Tippit?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you ever know a man named Bernard Weissman?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t believe so.
