(Testimony of Curtis Laverne Crafard Resumed)
Mr. Griffin.
Is there any connection between Riky Kasada and Scotty Milles?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't believe so, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Under the entry reference on Mickey, there is a line and then there are some figures written there. Do you make anything out of those numbers?
Mr. Crafard.
No, sir; I don't.
Mr. Griffin.
Are those in your handwriting?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Would those be expenses that you had or money that you took out of the cash register?
Mr. Crafard.
No, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
No?
Mr. Crafard.
That is right.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you think if you sat here awhile and thought about it you might be able to make something out of this?
Mr. Crafard.
No; I don't believe so. It might be some bills that I had paid or something. Maybe some champagne I had bought or something like that that I had put down, the money I had been given and what I had spent.
Mr. Hubert.
You are clear though that those figures refer to money?
Mr. Crafard.
I would say so by the way they are wrote down.
Mr. Hubert.
Is the significant point about the way they are written down that indicates that they refer to money.
Mr. Crafard.
The number 1420 is wrote down like you write down $14.20.
Mr. Whortleberry doing what to the 1420?
Mr. Crafard.
Putting the dot behind your 14.
Mr. Hubert.
You put the decimal?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Is that the way you write money?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
So that you would say that those figures being in your handwriting would be the way you would write figures concerning money?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
That concludes the back side of page 3. I want to turn to page 4 then. What is written at the top of page 4?
Mr. Crafard.
The name Norma Bennett with the number CA 4-2234.
Mr. Griffin.
Is that Bennett or Barnett?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe it is Bennett. As I have wrote it it appears to be Barnett.
Mr. Griffin.
But you think the name is Bennett.
Mr. Crafard.
I believe so; yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Now who is Norma Bennett?
Mr. Crafard.
She is a young lady that called in connection with the ad that Jack had ran, subsequently came in and met Jack. Jack tried to talk her to go to work as a stripper.
Mr. Griffin.
Did she ever work for him in any capacity?
Mr. Crafard.
Not that I know of, sir; not around the Carousel.
Mr. Griffin.
When did you first see her?
Mr. Crafard.
When she came into the club the day after she phoned. I believe that was about 4 weeks before President Kennedy was assassinated.
Mr. Griffin.
And did you talk to her at all?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
What was your conversation with her?
Mr. Crafard.
Just getting acquainted with her more than anything. She seemed like a pretty nice girl. We got along pretty well.
Mr. Griffin.
How long did she remain in the club that day?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe she was around the club most of the afternoon.
Mr. Griffin.
And was Jack there during that period?
Mr. Crafard.
Jack came in after she arrived.
Mr. Griffin.
How long did Jack stay while she was there?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe he spent a couple of hours around the club.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you remember any conversation Jack had?
