(Testimony of Curtis Laverne Crafard Resumed)

Mr. Crafard.
Not particularly, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
With reference to the entry on page 4 concerning Norma Barnett, is there any doubt in your mind that, as it is written, it is Barnett and not Bennett?
Mr. Crafard.
No doubt in my mind it is spelled Barnett, B-a-r-n-e-t-t.
Mr. Hubert.
You got that over the phone when she called; is that right?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
What makes you think that her name was not really Barnett but Bennett?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe that I already spoke of her as Norma Bennett I believe when I spoke with her. I recall that.
Mr. Hubert.
Your testimony was that you subsequently met her.
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you then learn that her name was Bennett instead of Barnett?
Mr. Crafard.
I very seldom used her last name after I met her. I believe when she introduced herself it sounded to me like she said Norma Bennett when she introduced herself to Jack.
Mr. Hubert.
Obviously when you heard it over the phone you thought it was Barnett because that is the way you put it down.
Mr. Crafard.
That is right, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
But thereafter you think you learned from her that it was Bennett?
Mr. Crafard.
I might have misspelled it to myself or something. I referred to her as Bennett all the time.
Mr. Hubert.
To whom did you refer as Bennett?
Mr. Crafard.
Whenever I used her name to Jack a couple of times when we was talking about her.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you ever use the name Bennett to her?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't recall ever using her last name to her, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Is it fair to say that you really don't know what her last name is?
Mr. Crafard.
That is right, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
What is the next word after CA 4-2234?
Mr. Crafard.
Waitress.
Mr. Hubert.
And then under that?
Mr. Crafard.
Judy Armstrong.
Mr. Hubert.
What is under that?
Mr. Crafard.
Congress, the phone number Congress 9-2576, Carlton, Tex.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you think those four lines beginning with waitress and ending up with Carlton, Tex., all deal with the same transaction?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe so; yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
In other words, the word "waitress" doesn't deal with the direction above it but the transaction below it?
Mr. Crafard.
That is right, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
What was that, a call from somebody who wanted to be a waitress?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir; I believe so.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you ever meet that person?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't recall meeting her.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know if Jack called her?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't know if he called her or not, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
All right; let's pass to the next entry under that.
Mr. Crafard.
Excuse me 1 minute, please. It seems to me this Judy Armstrong was a number that one night one of the girls was sick and one of the other girls that had the night off and we needed another girl and this is a girl that had worked for Jack, I believe, and we tried to call her. I am not positive of that. Or we tried to call her to go to work or something.
Mr. Hubert.
What you are saying is that insofar as the entry concerning Judy Armstrong which begins with the word waitress and ends with Carlton, Tex.
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir.
