United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. Would you look at Exhibit Q and tell us if you recognize
any of the names or notations there?
Mr. CRAFARD. Mike Shore.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You testified about him previously.
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe so; yes.
There is Ed Pullman’s name on there. I have testified about him
previously.
And Joe Williams, I believe from the band at the Carousel Club.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I want to direct your attention back again to photograph
P in this series, Exhibit 5225. There is a notation on here “baby
bottle.” Do you have any idea what Jack Ruby would have had to do with
any baby bottles?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; I don’t, whatsoever.
Mr. GRIFFIN. On Exhibit Q in this series, 5225, there is a notation
“Goodwill Industries”. Did Jack—do you remember having anything to do
with Goodwill Industries?
Mr. CRAFARD. Except the fact that most of my clothes were bought there.
Mr. GRIFFIN. The name Dalton appears in connection with that.
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe he spoke with Mr. Dalton in connection with
trying to get the Goodwill Industries interested in the twist boards,
their manufacture, I am not sure.
Mr. GRIFFIN. There is also a notation after the word “Mike Shore”
appears to be the word “blades”. Did Mike Shore have anything to do
with the Wilkinson blades that Jack gave away?
Mr. CRAFARD. Not that I know of; not to my knowledge.
Mr. GRIFFIN. There is also a notation on here that appears to read
“Stubbe Machine”, some sort of machine that looks like Stubby.
Mr. CRAFARD. The only thing I could say with that it might be in
connection with the laminating machine that he was thinking about
getting.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Well, now, tell us about the laminating machine that he
was thinking about getting.
Mr. CRAFARD. These free passes he was giving out he was having them
laminated in plastic and he was thinking about getting a machine to do
it himself.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Where was he intending to purchase this machine?
Mr. CRAFARD. I am not sure.
Mr. GRIFFIN. These were free passes to the Carousel?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did the practice of giving passes away to the Carousel
exist all the time you worked for Jack?
Mr. CRAFARD. He started that practice just after I went to work
for him, giving them to people that he had business with, personal
acquaintances, and different important businessmen from different areas
of the country.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you ever talk to Andy Armstrong or Jack so that you
would be able to state whether he had given away passes prior to that
time?
Mr. CRAFARD. To my—as far as I know, he had never given them away
before this.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recognize the name Monte that appears on this
photograph Q in the 5225 series?
Mr. CRAFARD. No; I don’t.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you remember the name of a fellow by the name of Monte
Timmons?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t believe I ever met the man. I don’t remember the
name.
Excuse me 1 minute.
