United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. What was his charge for admission at the Vegas, if there
was any?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe that was 75 cents or 85 cents, something like
that.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Would you look at photograph D?
Mr. CRAFARD. That is another State admission tax note. July, August,
and September.
Mr. GRIFFIN. That is Exhibit D of Series 5225.
I want to show you E of Exhibit 5225. There are some names written down
there.
Do you recognize those names?
Mr. CRAFARD. Billy Brook, I have heard his name mentioned, I believe he
was a comedian; I am not sure.
There is Bobby Patterson. I have mentioned him as a band member for the
Vegas Club.
Mr. GRIFFIN. There is a notation under the name Bobby Patterson. Would
you read that?
Mr. CRAFARD. Right under the name?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
Mr. CRAFARD. I can’t make it out.
Mr. GRIFFIN. To the right of the name there is a 6 with two zeros, and
right under the name Bobby Patterson it says, “and friends” and on the
same line to the right of the words “and friends” and under the 600 it
says “10” with two zeros.
Do you recognize—does that mean anything to you?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recognize that handwriting that is shown there?
Mr. CRAFARD. I’m not positive, but I believe it is in Mr. Ruby’s
handwriting.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall the way Mr. Ruby made notations about money?
Mr. CRAFARD. This is his method of making notations with the 10 large
and two zeros small on the upper portion of the line.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Is there anything else about that writing which makes you
think that is Jack Ruby’s writing?
Mr. CRAFARD. The fact that it is fairly small. And there is the name
Armstrong, the next name that I recognize, Andrew Armstrong. That is
all there is on that page.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Would you look at photograph F and tell us if you
recognize anything on that photograph. This is of Exhibit 5225.
Mr. CRAFARD. What I recognize is really small writing down almost to
the bottom of the page, there are three lines right close together. The
names and phone numbers, the name Ruth Shay, I have heard the name, I
can’t recall exactly what her relation was, and the name Pauline again
and then Tex De Lacy, I believe I had his name and phone number wrote
down in my notebook.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Would you look at photograph G and tell us if you
recognize any of the names there or any of the notations that are on
there.
Mr. CRAFARD. Other than the fact that it is apparently for excise tax
purposes for the Carousel Club, that is all I can say about it.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Would you look at photograph H. Do you recognize any of
the names or notations on that photograph?
Mr. CRAFARD. This shows two pages and one page is excise tax for
Carousel Club. The other page has very little writing on it.
The name Joseph Rossi. I have heard Jack use the name Rossi quite a few
times, but I don’t know what it was about.
Mr. GRIFFIN. That is Joseph R-o-s-s-i?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes, sir.
