United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, do you ever recall seeing those around, such message
slips around, the Carousel Club?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; I don’t.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you ever recall seeing those in any connection with Mr.
Ruby?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; I don’t.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recognize the handwriting?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. That is on there. Do you recognize any of the names on
those sheets of paper?
Mr. CRAFARD. None other than the name Ruby here.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall whether Mr. Ruby received telephone calls
regularly at any phone other than the phone at the Carousel Club?
Mr. CRAFARD. He might at his home address. I wouldn’t know.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Would you look at what I have marked in the same fashion
as Exhibit 5224-B and tell me if you recognize any of the names that
are shown in that photograph?
(Photograph marked Crafard Exhibit No. 5224-B for identification.)
Mr. CRAFARD. The middle one in the picture bears the name Pauline which
is the name of the assistant manager of the Vegas Club.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you know whether there was somebody who stayed
throughout the day at the Vegas Club in the same manner that you stayed
throughout the day at the Carousel Club?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t believe there was.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I am going to show you a series of photographs all of
which are marked Washington, D.C., April 10, 1964 and which I am going
to mark Exhibit 5225. Each of these 19 photographs has in the upper
right-hand corner on the reverse side of the photograph a letter in
sequence from A to S. I would like you to look at all 19 of these
photographs and tell me if you recognize the notebook which they
purport to depict.
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe these to be a notebook that Jack Ruby used.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Where would you recall seeing that notebook?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe he carried it on his person.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yesterday you identified two other notebooks one which you
thought he kept on his person, the other which you thought he kept in
his desk.
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Having seen this is there—would you change your testimony
any way about the other two notebooks that you identified yesterday?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; I don’t believe so.
Mr. GRIFFIN. So it is your testimony that Jack maintained at least
three small-sized notebooks that you recall?
Mr. CRAFARD. He had several of them, two or three of which he carried
on him.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I want to state for the record that these photographs do
not have the normal commission number that is put on documents when
they come into the office. These photographs at this time have come to
us by a letter from the Federal Bureau of Investigation dated April 7,
and the letter indicates that this notebook was found in Jack Ruby’s
automobile.
I will identify this notebook further as having on the front cover the
word “Alladin”. The notebook appears to be a pocket-size notebook which
might be 2 by 3 inches or 1½ by 3 inches.
