(Testimony of Curtis Laverne Crafard Resumed)

Mr. Crafard.
work. When I first met him he was unemployed and then he went to work afterwards.
Mr. Hubert.
It was your impression that he went to work as a bartender at the Gun Club.
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
You formed that impression from what he told you?
Mr. Crafard.
When they called they called asking for him and they said they wanted him in reference to a job, and he said he was trying to get a job as a bartender.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember his having told you that he had gotten the job?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir; that is the reason I formed the impression that he had been a bartender.
Mr. Hubert.
He told you so.
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
I want to go back to that top entry on page 3 "see Paul"----
Mr. Griffin.
Let me finish up on Mickey Ryan a second. Do you know what kind of a club this Gun Club was?
Mr. Crafard.
No, sir; I had never been there.
Mr. Griffin.
Was it just a bar or was it a place where people went to shoot skeet or trap or something like that?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't know, sir. I believe. the call came in as the Hunt Club or something like that or Hunter's Club or something of that sort, the call came in.
Mr. Griffin.
So you are not sure that the name of the club is the Gun Club?
Mr. Crafard.
No, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
And do you have any idea where that club is located?
Mr. Crafard.
It is near Dallas somewhere but that is all I know.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you know if it is in downtown Dallas or in the outskirts or what?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe that was on the outskirts of Dallas.
Mr. Griffin.
Would this have been a country club, a golf club of some sort?
Mr. Crafard.
It might have been; yes.
Mr. Griffin.
All right, I am finished with that.
Mr. Hubert.
Going to the top of page 3 that entry "See Paul Lubeachick here at 9:30." I think you added something to that entry to the effect that that entry meant that that man was going to be there at 9:30?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
The part you added was that he couldn't stay very long.
Mr. Crafard.
That is the impression that I had when I talked to him, sir. He said something about----
Mr. Hubert.
You have a distinct recollection therefore of that particular episode and that man?
Mr. Crafard.
Of the call coming in; yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Was it a call?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
The man gave you that name and said that he would be there. at 9:30?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
But that he could not wait very long?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe it was something like the fact that he would be there at 9:30 and he wanted to see Jack, that he couldn't stay there for any length of time.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you recall whether he came in at 9:30?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't recall, sir. After the club opened I was too busy to notice who came in.
Mr. Hubert.
With an entry of that nature. isn't it fair to say that you would have conveyed that information in its totality to Jack?
Mr. Crafard.
That is right, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
In other words, you would have told him not merely that the man was coming in at 9:30 but that he had said he couldn't wait very long.
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir.
