outfit that built these portable buildings and they built some over in that area.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you know of any friends your wife had in Greenville?

Mr. Crafard.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

This letter that the woman in Cuba, Mo., received, did it give any indication of how your wife was supporting herself or what her connection was with the party that she was staying with?

Mr. Crafard.

To my knowledge, it didn't.

Mr. Griffin.

The woman in Cuba, how did she happen to be friendly with your wife?

Mr. Crafard.

My wife was on the road hitchhiking when she picked her up with the boys. Her and her husband picked my wife up with the boys.

Mr. Griffin.

When was that?

Mr. Crafard.

That was about 6 months--it would have been in the middle of the summer last year.

Mr. Griffin.

I mean, did your wife keep in contact with this woman from time to time?

Mr. Crafard.

Yes. She left, the wife, the Children with this woman for a while, and she was getting a child-support check for her oldest son, my stepson, and she turned the check over to the woman in Missouri.

Mr. Griffin.

How did the woman come to know about your mother in Dallas, Oreg.?

Mr. Crafard.

I guess my wife said something about it.

Mr. Griffin.

Well, had the woman in Cuba, Mo., written your mother to tell your mother that your wife had left, or something, or what was the occasion for that?

Mr. Crafard.

I believe she wrote trying to find out what kind of a person my wife was more than anything. I be1ieve that was her main reason for writing my mother. From the information I got from her, when my wife would come back, my wife would be gone 2 to 3 weeks, she would come back at least once a month with the check, to sign the check and turn it over to the woman, and she said when my wife did come back she apparently did appear to have quite a bit of money, and always had new clothes and real good clothes, but she said she appeared--she did not. appear to have a job of any kind, because of the fact she would come back maybe on a weekend or maybe it would be in the middle of the week.

Mr. Griffin.

What is the name of this woman in Cuba, Mo.?

Mr. Crafard.

I can't even remember right now. I have got it wrote down in that little book, but I can't even remember right now.

The letter was received after that, I understand.

Mr. Griffin.

When the woman in Cuba, Mo., saw your wife at Christmas-time, did your wife say where she was going?

Mr. Crafard.

As far as the woman knew, she was going to Texas.

Mr. Hubert.
