(Testimony of Curtis Laverne Crafard Resumed)

Mr. Crafard.
but I believe I could recognize the revolver if I was to see it. Excuse me, that handle was an, I believe an imitation bone handle on that pistol. I believe it was kind of a grayish-white imitation bone handle with dark brown spots on it.
Mr. Griffin.
You testified that you believe Little Lynn called sometime on Friday evening, November 22?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
What time would be your recollection that telephone call was received, was it before or after you had dinner at 8 o'clock over at the drug s tore?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe that was before I had dinner. I believe I said something to Jack about it when he came back and he said if she called again to give, tell her to call Miss Grant.
Mr. Griffin.
Did she call back?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe so. And I told her to call Miss Grant.
Mr. Griffin.
On page 151 of Exhibit 5226 you are reported as saying in connection with the photograph of the Earl Warren sign and the post office box and I am quoting from the FBI report, "Crafard said he was completely puzzled as Earl Warren was unknown to him."
I believe you testified earlier here in Washington that you recall Ruby making some connection between an advertisement that he had seen in the newspaper and the Earl Warren sign.
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you remember that connection at the time you talked with the FBI?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe I said something to them about the numbers on the address having something to do with something else that Ruby had talked about. I don't believe I would have anything to do with this advertisement. I don't believe anything on that.
Mr. Griffin.
Is it possible that--are you clear that Ruby, now, that Ruby did make some connection between the advertisement and the sign?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes; very clear. It was in connection with the addresses on the sign and this post office box number on this ad that he had saw in the paper.
Mr. Griffin.
Are you making this statement as a result of something that you personally recall or is this something that is now in your mind because of conversations you may have had with other people?
Mr. Crafard.
This is something that I personally, clearly recall him making the statement.
Mr. Griffin.
Is it--Mr. Hubert, do you have any questions you want to ask along that line?
On page 153 of Exhibit 5226 the FBI reports and I quote, "He knows of no police contacts on Ruby's behalf but said Ruby did keep a police card in the cash register at the Carousel with a name unknown to him on it."
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Would you describe this police card?
Mr. Crafard.
It was a white card with the emblem of a badge on it with some numbers on top of it, numbers on the badge. I can't recall what they were, if they were even clear. I believe it to have been in connection with some sort of a police club or something of that sort, either that or it was a detective's card that he might have one of the business cards, something.
Mr. Griffin.
It was a card about the size of a business card?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
And could you tell what police department this person was from?
Mr. Crafard.
Dallas, Tex., Police Department.
Mr. Griffin.
Could it have been the Dallas County Sheriff's office?
Mr. Crafard.
It could have been; yes, sir. It was from the Dallas, one of the Dallas police departments.
Mr. Griffin.
Well, did it have the name that was written on this card or printed on the card, did it have a rank in connection with it?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't believe so.
Mr. Griffin.
Could it have been a card from a justice of the peace?
