(Testimony of Curtis L. Crafard Resumed)
Mr. Crafard.
He was trying to take it--I guess he figured about noontime he would take his medicine, this diet stuff, instead of eating.
Mr. Griffin.
What did this come in?
Mr. Crafard.
It was in powder form, you use it in tea or coffee. It prevents you from getting hungry.
Mr. Griffin.
On the 22d when Jack came back after the President had been shot, the first time, did he make any telephone calls to any of his employees, to anybody, to people, to tell them not to come in?
Mr. Crafard.
No; he had Andrew make calls.
Mr. Griffin.
Did Andy make all the calls?
Mr. Crafard.
So far as I know; yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Did Jack---how about the newspapers, was anything done about notifying the newspapers that the club was not going to be open?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't know as it was Jack who done it--there was--he done so outside the club.
Mr. Griffin.
Did anybody come to the club during the afternoon of the 22d?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't remember of anybody coming to the club.
Mr. Griffin.
Did any of the strippers show up that day?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't remember, I don't recall any coming down.
Mr. Griffin.
How long did Andy stay at the club?
Mr. Crafard.
He was there until about 15 or 20 minutes after Jack left.
Mr. Griffin.
The first time or the second?
Mr. Crafard.
The first time.
Mr. Griffin.
Which means that he would have left sometime before 4 o'clock?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
When you and Senator and Jack went out to take the picture of the Earl Warren sign, do you recall anything being in the car at that time?
Mr. Crafard.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he have any newspapers in the car?
Mr. Crafard.
I couldn't remember any.
Mr. Griffin.
Where did you sit, in the front or back?
Mr. Crafard.
I sat in the back seat.
Mr. Griffin.
Did Jack know how to use the Polaroid camera?
Mr. Crafard.
No; I don't believe so.
Mr. Griffin.
It doesn't take anything to run that Polaroid camera.
Mr. Crafard.
No; but I don't believe he had ever----
Mr. Griffin.
Was it his camera?
Mr. Crafard.
It was his camera. I don't believe he had ever took any patience to learn how to reload it. They can be quite complicated to reload if you don't know how to do it.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you have to reload after every shot?
Mr. Crafard.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
How much film did you have on there?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe it was four pictures.
Mr. Griffin.
That you took?
Mr. Crafard.
There was three pictures on it that I took. We thought there was four, and there was only three of them.
Mr. Griffin.
And you didn't have to reload then, did you?
Mr. Crafard.
No; I didn't reload.
Mr. Griffin.
What did you all talk about when you drove out there?
Mr. Crafard.
They were talking about this Earl Warren sign and a hate ad that Ruby had saw in the paper.
Mr. Griffin.
What was Jack saying about it?
Mr. Crafard.
It was something about the similarity of the numbers and the addresses of the two.
Mr. Griffin.
What was Senator saying about it?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't recall what Senator said.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you get some idea of what the purpose was, why Jack was concerned about this?
Mr. Griffin.
No; I was completely in the dark about it. Something, I believe, was said about the sign of "Impeach Earl Warren," business being done by maybe the Birch Society or something like that.
