(Testimony of Curtis Laverne Crafard Resumed)
Mr. Hubert.
You first testified that you thought that this was a person answering an ad?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Now you think that actually you all sought to call her to work in place of someone who was ill?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe the way it worked out she had called in connection with the ad and we had her number down on the list of girls to call and one night we needed a girl and we tried to call her and couldn't get in touch with her. Tried to call her to come to work and couldn't get in touch with her.
Mr. Hubert.
So that the entry on page 4 was actually made as you said it was?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
When she called applying for a job but you have an independent recollection other than the entry that on some occasion you called her to just see if she could substitute?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember whether you reached her.
Mr. Crafard.
I don't recall reaching her, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
And you have never met her?
Mr. Crafard.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
All right; what about Burt Nelson?
Mr. Crafard.
Burt Nelson, Chez Femme, the phone number EM 3-6324, and I don't know who Mr. Nelson is.
Mr. Hubert.
What is that Chez Femme?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe that is a place he worked, I am not sure.
Mr. Hubert.
What sort of a place is it?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't recall, sir. I believe it was a clothing store of some sort.
Mr. Hubert.
A what?
Mr. Crafard.
A clothing store of some sort, sir, I believe, I am not positive.
Mr. Hubert.
What about the entry under that?
Mr. Crafard.
Buddy, hyphenized, Floyd Turner, phone number LY 2-5903, Tyler, Tex. I don't remember ever meeting him. I believe Jack referred to him as Budd Turner though.
Mr. Hubert.
Would that be a call that had come in or a call given to you by Jack?
Mr. Crafard.
I am not sure, sir. I believe it was one given to me by Jack.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know anything about that man?
Mr. Crafard.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Never met him.
Mr. Crafard.
Not that I know of.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you ever hear his name spoken other than in this connection?
Mr. Crafard.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Let's turn over to the next page then which is page 5. Would you read it because I can't read your handwriting.
Mr. Crafard.
Page 5 or do you want to read the reverse of page 4, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
I want to read the reverse of page 4 I beg your pardon.
Mr. Crafard.
It starts with line Linda phone number RI 2-0720, and the initials R. W. Bowsher.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you think that those three entries relate to the same thing.
Mr. Crafard.
I don't believe they do, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Then tell us what they do mean independently.
Mr. Crafard.
I believe the line DA and the line number is a number where we could get ahold of this girl Linda, but the R. W. Bowsher I have no recollection of what it would be.
Mr. Hubert.
Does it seem to be written with a different pen or pencil?
Mr. Crafard.
The pencil that was used for the word Linda and the phone number seems to have been sharper than the one used for R. W. Bowsher.
Mr. Hubert.
Was it your custom to separate independent episodes by leaving a blank line between them?
Mr. Crafard.
I have done so most of the time; yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
In this case you don't seem to have done so.
Mr. Crafard.
Sometimes I would put them right under something else.
