United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. Those would have been to the T-Bone Hotel at Wichita?
Mr. CROWE. No; there was no T-Bone Hotel.
Mr. HUBERT. What was the place?
Mr. CROWE. The T-Bone Club. It was at the motel where I was staying.
Mr. HUBERT. What motel was that?
Mr. CROWE. I think it was “El” something, I don’t recall. Right around
the corner there. It began with an “E”.
Mr. HUBERT. It was near the T-Bone Club, is that correct?
Mr. CROWE. Right. El Morocco maybe, I don’t know.
Mr. HUBERT. When did the engagement which began on November 11, end in
fact?
Mr. CROWE. Right before Christmas, which was about, let’s see--do you
have a calendar again?
Mr. HUBERT. Here is a calendar of 1963 again. Let me put it this way:
Did your engagement last for the entire period that you contracted for?
Mr. CROWE. Longer.
Mr. HUBERT. I see. And your thought is that you left on the 21st of
December?
Mr. CROWE. Twenty-first.
Mr. HUBERT. Tell us in general what contacts you had with Jack Ruby
during the period of November 11 through the 22d or the 22d of
November, to the day that the President was shot?
Mr. CROWE. Well, outside of seeing him in the club when he was there,
and going to breakfast with him once in awhile after working hours,
that was about it.
Mr. HUBERT. Where did you live in Dallas?
Mr. CROWE. At that time I was at the Palomino Hotel on Fort Worth
Avenue.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you choose that place yourself?
Mr. CROWE. Yes; I had stayed there previously.
Mr. HUBERT. Do I understand from your statement that your contacts with
Ruby were limited to a few breakfasts that you had with him?
Mr. CROWE. That is about it.
Mr. HUBERT. Otherwise, I suppose it would have been simply business
conversations, or were there any business conversations?
Mr. CROWE. The only thing, about the only thing Jack ever spoke of was
the club, one club or the other.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, on these occasions when you went to breakfast, what
did he discuss, if you recall?
Mr. CROWE. Business, money, the show itself, the band, the girls.
Mr. HUBERT. By the way, when you say breakfast, I assume you mean
the meal that you took after the club closed about 2 o’clock in the
morning, is that correct.
Mr. CROWE. That is right.
Mr. HUBERT. Where did you normally go?
Mr. CROWE. There was no normal, whatever suited his fancy.
Mr. HUBERT. Did he discuss with you the twistboard operation that he
was interested in?
Mr. CROWE. No; he mentioned, I know he had one there that he was giving
away as a prize.
Mr. HUBERT. You were not the master of ceremonies, were you?
Mr. CROWE. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. You were. In addition to the act you had, you were also
master of ceremonies?
Mr. CROWE. I introduced the other acts, yes.
Mr. HUBERT. And then you did some acting yourself?
Mr. CROWE. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you recall the names of some of the other employees or
performers at the Carousel?
Mr. CROWE. You want the performers or the employees?
Mr. HUBERT. Well, both. If you remember their names.
