(Testimony of Curtis L. Crafard Resumed)

Mr. Griffin.
What did Jack actually have to do to manage the Carousel?
Mr. Crafard.
That I couldn't really say.
Mr. Griffin.
Did it appear he had very much to do?
Mr. Crafard.
As far as the management of the club, to my knowledge, it shouldn't have took him more than 3 hours a day at the most, that is, including all the bookwork be would have to do.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he do the bookwork?
Mr. Crafard.
He kept a set of books, but he had a bookkeeper to keep his books, an accountant.
Mr. Griffin.
I mean--you mean he personally kept the books or somebody else made the entries?
Mr. Crafard.
Andrew made most of the entries.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, during the 6 weeks or 2 months that you were there, how many different strippers did he have?
Mr. Crafard.
It was mostly the same girls. He fired one and hired another one.
Mr. Griffin.
Who was the one that he fired?
Mr. Crafard.
It was Jada.
Mr. Griffin.
And who did he hire in her place?
Mr. Crafard.
Little Lynn.
Mr. Griffin.
How long after he fired Jada did Little Lynn come on?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe it was 2 or 3 days between them.
Mr. Griffin.
Could there have been more than that?
Mr. Crafard.
It might have been a week, I don't believe so--I don't believe it was much more than that.
Mr. Griffin.
Were you present during the incident that resulted in the firing of Jada?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe there were several different incidents that built up to that event.
Mr. Griffin.
What were they, as you recall?
Mr. Craard.
I don't know most of them, but the one instance I believe, Jack shut the lights out on her as she went too far with her disrobing.
Mr. Griffin.
And then did they have a right of some sort afterwards?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe there was; yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Were you present?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe I was in the club, but I don't know--I didn't know what went on even.
Mr. Griffin.
How long had you known Little Lynn before she was hired as a stripper?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe I met her one day and she was hired the next evening, something like that.
Mr. Griffin.
Had Jack known her before?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't believe so.
Mr. Griffin.
How about her husband, Bruce Carlin, did you meet him?
Mr. Crafard.
I met him at the same time I met Little Lynn.
Mr. Griffin.
How often did Bruce use to come to the club?
Mr. Crafard.
When Little Lynn went to work for the club at first he was there almost every night--he was there every night.
Mr. Griffin.
How did he get along with Jack?
Mr. Crafard.
I never seen any difficulty between them.
Mr. Griffin.
How would you describe Bruce Carlin?
Mr. Crafard.
He seemed like a pretty likable young fellow to me.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you talk with him?
Mr. Crafard.
Slightly; not very much.
Mr. Griffin.
What time would he generally come and what time would he leave?
Mr. Crafard.
He would usually, when he come in, he would be there when Little Lynn was on the stage, and he would leave, and she would go back in time for her to come back on the stage, and he would come back in again.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he and Little Lynn go out some place together?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe they went out a couple of times between her acts. I don't remember.
