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
Under the word “Alladin” there is a triangle with some writing which I
am unable to read. Under the triangle, on the cover is written notebook
No. 3164.
Mr. HUBERT. You had better identify that picture you hold in your hand.
Mr. GRIFFIN. The picture I am referring to here is Exhibit 5225-A.
The one refers to the number that the Bureau has put on in the upper
right-hand corner on the reverse side. I am going to ask you to look at
these photographs in sequence if you will look at Exhibit 5225-B, will
you tell me whether you recognize any of the names written on there?
(Photographs marked Crafard Exhibits Nos. 5225-A through 5225-S for
identification.)
Mr. CRAFARD. The name Pauline is on this page.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recognize the name Milt Jaffe?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe the name Bonnie also appears on this, that would
be the last name on this page.
Mr. GRIFFIN. State what you understand—you are looking through a
magnifying glass now at photograph number one, in the series of
Exhibits 5225 and there is a name on there that you believe to be
Bonnie?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Let me state for the record that as I look at it it
appears to be Barney, but assuming that it is Bonnie, that is—is that
name familiar with you?
Mr. CRAFARD. Bonnie, a girl was—a girl by the name of Bonnie worked as
a waitress at the Carousel.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about any of the other names on that page?
Mr. CRAFARD. The name Pauline mentioned before.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Correction for the record, we are looking at photograph B
in the 5225 series.
Would you look at photograph C in that series and tell me if you
recognize any of the names on there?
Mr. CRAFARD. This photograph doesn’t contain any names. It has
something to do with taxes, admission tax.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall what Jack Ruby’s practice was while you
worked with him as to keeping track of taxes and so forth?
Mr. CRAFARD. On this admission tax we had some numbered tickets. When
each customer came in we tore one in half, tore half of the tickets and
gave them half of the ticket and once a month they would go at it and
count the tickets.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall where he kept his records for those things?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t know where he kept his records at.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall his making entries in a small notebook for
such records?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; not on the admission tickets.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did he have some sort of other book that he kept his tax
records in?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe his accountant kept most of the tax records but
there was something about the admission tax where him, Ruby and Andy
would work on that together and count the stubs.
But I don’t know where he kept record of them.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What was the admission charge to the club?
Mr. CRAFARD. Two dollars.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was it——
Mr. CRAFARD. This was including the taxes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was that $2 every night or was there a different charge on
weekends?
Mr. CRAFARD. Two dollars every night at the Carousel.
