(Testimony of William D. , Jr. Crowe)
Mr. Crowe.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
So you just went on your way, I take it?
Mr. Crowe.
If they had called me I wouldn't have gotten dressed and went down there. No; I went down there and they had a sign on the front that said closed and I was relieved and glad. I didn't think they should be open anyway. I drove around the block and the other two clubs were closed. So I went back home.
Mr. Hubert.
What did you do, go to bed?
Mr. Crowe.
I think I sat and read maybe.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, did you see anyone or talk to anyone after returning to your apartment?
Mr. Crowe.
I don't know whether it was that nigh,t or the night after I called a friend of mine's house, Tom Palmer. I spoke with his wife about the incident.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you talk to Jack Ruby at any time between the assassination of the President, and the time Oswald was shot?
Mr. Crowe.
I never spoke to or seen Jack Ruby again from Thursday night.
Mr. Hubert.
And you did not talk to him by phone?
Mr. Crowe.
No; no.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know George Senator?
Mr. Crowe.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know Ralph Paul?
Mr. Crowe.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you know a man by the name of Breck Wall.
Mr. Crowe.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Who was staying at the Adolphus?
Mr. Crowe.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know a man by the name of Joe Peterson?
Mr. Crowe.
He was a musician, I believe.
Mr. Hubert.
You said you knew Armstrong. Did you know Larry Crafard?
Mr. Crowe.
I don't recall the name.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember a young man that seemed to be working around the club there and sleeping on the premises?
Mr. Crowe.
Yes; yes.
Mr. Hubert.
How did you know him, by what name did you known him?
Mr. Crowe.
I don't recall, I believe his name was Larry. I didn't know what his last name was.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you see or speak to any one of those persons during the period from the time the President was shot until the time Oswald was shot?
Mr. Crowe.
Who all did you call off again?
Mr. Hubert.
George Senator, Ralph Paul, Breck Wall, Joe Peterson, Andy Armstrong, and Larry Crafard?
Mr. Crowe.
Andrew Armstrong is about the only one I can think of.
Mr. Hubert.
When did you talk to him?
Mr. Crowe.
Let's see, I called--maybe that wasn't--Saturday, Sunday morning, there wasn't much time, it must have been after Oswald was shot before I even spoke to Andrew.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, as I understand it then, there was no contact of any sort whatsoever between you and any of those persons I mentioned, and I will mention them again so that the record can be straight: George Senator, Ralph Paul, Breck Wall, Joe Peterson, and Larry Crafard, there was no contact between you and Andrew Armstrong, no contact between you whatsoever, between the time the President was shot and the time Oswald was shot, of any sort whatsoever?
Mr. Crowe.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
How did you learn that the show would not go on on Saturday?
Mr. Crowe.
Well, I didn't figure it would go on on Saturday. I wasn't going to go down there until they called me, or somebody called me, and they knew where I was, and if I did not get a call, why I wasn't going.
Mr. Hubert.
When was payday, when were you supposed to be paid?
Mr. Crowe.
Sunday.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you make any inquiry Sunday about your pay?
Mr. Crowe.
No; there was nobody to ask.
