(Testimony of Curtis L. Crafard Resumed)
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know whether she went to work or you just don't know anything about her?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't know.
Mr. Hubert.
Have you any indication that Jack was supporting her in any way?
Mr. Crafard.
I have no idea.
Mr. Griffin.
When Jack placed these ads for waitresses, was it that he needed help?
Mr. Crafard.
He had to run a continuous ad for girls. I think mostly he was wanting to get girls to start them as strippers.
Mr. Griffin.
And he would sort of start them out as waitresses first, is that it, if they showed any prospects----
Mr. Crafard.
He did with a couple of them, yes.
Mr. Griffin.
How about the waitresses, did he have some requirements for the waitresses as to their looks?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't know. They were all fairly nice-looking girls, but I wouldn't say they were real beauties or anything.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he provide them with uniforms?
Mr. Crafard.
About a week or 2 weeks before President Kennedy was assassinated, he bought uniforms for the girls. But prior to that they hadn't wore uniforms.
Mr. Griffin.
They had no uniforms?
Mr. Crafard.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
But they did have a common style of dress?
Mr. Crafard.
Most of them wore slacks and a blouse or a sweater.
Mr. Griffin.
I am going to mark this "Washington, D.C., Exhibit 5201, April 1964, Deposition, C. L. Crafard," and I will sign my name to it.
(Photograph marked Crafard Exhibit No. 5201 for identification.)
Mr. Griffin.
Now, Larry, I am going to show you what I have marked as Exhibit 5201. You will notice the picture of a girl there, a brunette, scantily clad. Is she wearing the uniform that you referred to that Jack bought?
Mr. Crafard.
No, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recognize the girl in that photograph?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't believe so.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you ever see anybody around the Carousel in an outfit like that?
Mr. Crafard.
No, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Does that appear to be a picture of the inside of the Carousel Club?
Mr. Crafard.
Not as I know it, no. We didn't have all this back bar.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recognize anybody in that photograph, 5201?
Mr. Crafard.
This man looks familiar, but----
Mr. Griffin.
The man at the table looks familiar to you?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Can you probe your memory some and try to tell us why he looks familiar?
Mr. Crafard.
He looks like somebody I saw in the Carousel Club.
Mr. Griffin.
Would he be one of the men from Los Angeles that you referred to?
Mr. Crafard.
It could be. I wouldn't swear to it.
Mr. Griffin.
How often do you think that you saw that man around the Carousel Club?
Mr. Crafard.
It wasn't but a couple of times. It couldn't have been.
Mr. Griffin.
Is that a picture of any club that you recognize in Dallas?
Mr. Crafard.
None that I have ever been in. I was never in any of the other clubs excpet to the Carousel and the Vegas.
Mr. Griffin.
Would you be sure that that is not a picture of any part of the Vegas?
Mr. Crafard.
No, it is not a picture of the Vegas. They didn't have a back bar there.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you see the man who appears to be a bartender in that picture?
