(Testimony of Curtis L. Crafard Resumed)

Mr. Griffin.
Did Little Lynn remain around the club while Bruce was out?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes; most of the time.
Mr. Griffin.
How long would you say Little Lynn worked for Jack?
Mr. Crafard.
Oh, man; I believe it was 2 or 3 weeks. I am not sure.
Mr. Griffin.
So he had the same group of strippers except that Little Lynn replaced Jada?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
He had three different M.C.'s?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
And Billy DeMar was one of them?
Mr. Crafard.
That is right.
Mr. Griffin.
And the M.C. is the same person as the comedian?
Mr. Crafard.
That is right.
Mr. Griffin.
How about the band? Did he have the same band all the way through?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, yes.
Mr. Griffin.
So you would say that while you were there there wasn't any other turnover in personnel?
Mr. Crafard.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
That you knew of.
I think you mentioned on two nights you ran the Vegas Club all by yourself.
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
When were those two nights?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't remember the dates. It was during the week, week nights. The one night I was the only one at the club, I didn't even have a band, all we had was the jukebox.
Mr. Griffin.
How about the bartender?
Mr. Crafard.
I was doing the bartending.
Mr. Griffin.
And taking the tickets also?
Mr. Crafard.
We didn't have any cover charge that night, just a jukebox and beer. The next night we had the band, and I had a waitress.
Mr. Griffin.
How long was that before the assassination of the President?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe that was the week before, but I am not sure.
Mr. Griffin.
What was the reason that Jack didn't have anybody to run the Vegas Club?
Mr. Crafard.
The club wasn't making any money. During the week it didn't make hardly any money, and that was the slowest night of the week for the club, and his sister was sick one night, so he had me go over and run the Vegas Club the first night, and the next night his sister was sick again, and I only had the band and a waitress with me at night.
Mr. Griffin.
Was his sister in the hospital or anything while you were employed there?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe she was. She was in the hospital--I think she was in the hospital, but when, I'm not sure. I'm not sure whether she was or not.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you see her after the two nights you worked in the Vegas Club?
Mr. Crafard.
I think I saw her over at the Vegas Club two or three nights later, but I'm not sure.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you meet Pauline Hall?
Mr. Crafard.
Who?
Mr. Griffin.
Did you meet a woman named Pauline Hall?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
How many times did you see her, would you say?
Mr. Crafard.
All together I believe I saw her about four different times.
Mr. Griffin.
Would you describe her physically?
Mr. Crafard.
Fairly nice looking woman, I would say maybe in her mid-thirties--a little older, but a nice build, and what I saw of her, and when I talked to her, she had a fairly nice personality.
Mr. Griffin.
Was there any woman at the Vegas Club who was employed there who was noticeably heavy, who was fat?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't recall of seeing one.
