(Testimony of Curtis Laverne Crafard Resumed)

Mr. Griffin.
That would be everything on that page except the RI 7-7436?
Mr. Crafard.
That is right.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, on the outside portion of the back cover there are some other things written on there. See if you can tell us what those are.
Mr. Crafard.
The name J. L. Coxsey.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you know this person?
Mr. Crafard.
No. The name Coxsey is the name of one of the gentlemen I went to church with when my wife and I were living in Dallas.
Mr. Griffin.
How would that be spelled?
Mr. Crafard.
His name was Lee Coxsey.
Mr. Griffin.
Is that the same gentleman?
Mr. Crafard.
No; I don't believe so. And there is the number under that that I can't make out. Then there is a number EV 1-6979, and there is, it looks like LV or something. I can't understand that a bit. There is the number FL 2-8995.
Mr. Griffin.
Are those things in your handwriting?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall where you left that book when you departed from Dallas?
Mr. Crafard.
It was either in Jack's office or in the room right in front of his office where I slept days. I'm not positive whether I left it on his desk or on a stand in my room.
Mr. Griffin.
But in any event did you leave it in the open, or did you leave it in a drawer?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe it was lying right out on top of a table or a desk, whichever it was. I'm not positive.
Mr. Griffin.
Mr. Hubert do you have any questions you want to ask?
Mr. Hubert.
Did I understand you to say earlier this morning that normally you kept that book on your person?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
You didn't leave it hanging around?
Mr. Crafard.
That is right. On occasion, Jack would be there and I would be giving him a number and he would want me to go down maybe get a paper or something like that and I'd leave the book lay on one of the tables near the phone and go down and come back up.
Mr. Hubert.
Then you would get your book back?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
I guess it is fair to say, then, that except for those occasions, and then when you left the book, when you departed from Dallas, the book was always in your possession?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you ever notice that some of the entries were made by someone else in that book prior to the time you left for Dallas?
Mr. Crafard.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
Are you willing to say that they were not made prior to the time you left for Dallas?
Mr. Crafard.
That is right.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, specifically, some of the entries that you have said are not in your handwriting----
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Were not in that book when you left for Dallas?
Mr. Crafard.
That is right.
Mr. Hubert.
What makes you sure of that?
Mr. Crafard.
Nobody else had wrote in the book.
Mr. Hubert.
No one had a chance to?
Mr. Crafard.
That is right.
Mr. Hubert.
Jack would have had a chance to on a few occasions?
Mr. Crafard.
On a couple of occasions he had a notebook just like it that he carried himself.
Mr. Hubert.
But you never saw these entries even after Jack had occasion to write them in?
