Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did Little Lynn ever complain in your presence about not
having enough money?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe that when she first went to work for Jack, Jack
either gave her an advance or loaned her some money, one or the other.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I recall yesterday in your talking with Mr. Hubert there
was some problem you felt that you had lost 8 hours in describing what
happened on your trip from Dallas to your destination in Michigan.
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. In the time that has passed since then, have you been able
to find those 8 hours that were lost?
Mr. CRAFARD. Pretty well, yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What do you think happened?
Mr. CRAFARD. I got mixed up on my routes in Oklahoma City and spent
quite a bit of time getting back. There is where I lost the time.
Mr. GRIFFIN. About what time did you arrive in Oklahoma City?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe it was about 7 o’clock in the evening of the 23d.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And how did you happen to get mixed up on your routes?
Mr. CRAFARD. I got a ride with this gentleman and I believe he said
something about getting me out on my route or something like that, and
I got mixed up on my route.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you ride with him in the wrong direction for a while?
Mr. CRAFARD. He took me out, he took me quite a ways more than where I
had to go.
Mr. GRIFFIN. On that basis what time would you say that you arrived in
Chicago?
Mr. CRAFARD. It probably would put me in Chicago sometime Monday, about
10:30 or 11 o’clock in the morning.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When you arrived in Chicago, then you knew that Ruby had
killed Oswald?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And what time did you arrive in Lansing, Mich.?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe it was about 6:30 or 7 o’clock Monday evening.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When you arrived in Chicago did you make any effort to
call any of the Rubensteins?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did that occur to you?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; that arrival in Lansing would have been about 3:30 or
4 o’clock. It would have been a couple hours earlier.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You mentioned that the ride that you had got out of Dallas
on the 23d with a man whom you had met at the Dallas State Fair.
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What did he do at the Dallas State Fair?
Mr. CRAFARD. There was a photography place on the fairgrounds. He
worked there.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was he a full-time employee at the fairgrounds or was this
a temporary thing?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe this was just temporary for the fair.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What was the name of the photography place?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t remember that, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Were there a number of different photographers at the
fair?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe there was two or three different ones at the
fairgrounds. This one was right close to the place I worked was located.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How far would it have been from a tent? Were you in a tent?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How far would it have been from your tent?
Mr. CRAFARD. About 150 or 200 feet.
