(Testimony of Curtis Laverne Crafard)
Mr. Hubert.
And after having looked at all of those pictures, that is to say five of them as identified, you now are positive that that is the girl?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
I understand you to say you had at least one occasion on which you actually had dinner with Jack and this girl is that correct?
Mr. Crafard.
That is right.
Mr. Hubert.
Would it be fair to say you were in her company therefore and could see her at close range for a period of at least an hour on that occasion?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
But you don't know who she is?
Mr. Crafard.
I cannot recall her name, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
I wish you would give some thought to what her name is before you leave so perhaps we can----
Mr. Griffin.
Did you ever have occasion to write her name down any place for Jack?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe her name was wrote down, I believe her name was wrote down in the notebook.
Mr. Griffin.
In the little notebook you were keeping for him?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes; I am not sure.
Mr. Hubert.
All right. Now, what other friends did you note that Ruby had? You mentioned George Senator, and you have mentioned this girl who was in the striped dress in the Exhibits 5200-A, -B, -C, -D, and -E. Who else do you know?
Mr. Crafard.
Ralph Paul.
Mr. Hubert.
I think you have told us something about him.
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Who else?
Mr. Crafard.
There was a couple of the comedians from some of the other clubs that came up to the club quite often.
Mr. Hubert.
Who were they?
Mr. Crafard.
I wouldn't know their names.
Mr. Hubert.
Were there any others than those you have already mentioned?
Mr. Crafard.
Not that I can name; no, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
How long were you at the club from the time you first went there until the time you left?
Mr. Crafard.
Approximately 6 weeks to a month or 2 months.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you ever see any members of the Dallas police force there?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Tell us something about that.
Mr. Crafard.
Well, the uniformed patrolman would come up every once in awhile in the evening and have coffee on the club.
Mr. Hubert.
When you say on the club, you mean without paying for it?
Mr. Crafard.
That is right.
Mr. Hubert.
How do you know that?
Mr. Crafard.
I on several occasions--I on several occasions served the coffee for them.
Mr. Hubert.
Normally you would collect for that?
Mr. Crafard.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
I mean normally you would collect from another patron.
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
But you didn't collect from the police?
Mr. Crafard.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
Why?
Mr. Crafard.
Jack told me to go ahead and they could have coffee whenever they wanted.
Mr. Hubert.
In other words, you did not ask any money for the coffee because you had been instructed not to by Jack?
Mr. Crafard.
The girls had told me that they was allowed to do so.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember which girl?
Mr. Crafard.
The waitresses.
Mr. Hubert.
The waitresses?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
