(Testimony of Curtis Laverne Crafard Resumed)

Mr. Craford.
is just notations. I don't remember the bottom portion of that number wrote in dark blue ink.
Mr. Griffin.
It begins with "WE-7-3037"?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
What page?
Mr. Crafard.
Page 15.
Mr. Griffin.
Then there are three more lines which appear to read on one line, "063" on the next line "Herman" printed, and the letters "Flore" and then those are crossed out and written above it in longhand is the word "flowers". And then directly under "Herman Flowers" is in longhand "from Wax-a-hatchy." Do I understand that you do not recognize that writing, for example, "from Wax-a-hatchy", as being in your handwriting?
Mr. Crafard.
"Wax-a-hatchy", I believe, is my handwriting. The rest of it I don't recognize. On the reverse side of that is figuring. That is definitely not mine. Page 16 is just notations. That is about 2/3 of a page. The reverse side of that page is just notations, people calling in wanting reservations. Page 17 is just notations in my handwriting. The reverse side of page 17 is just notations. Page 18 is just notations in my handwriting. The reverse side of that is just notations.
Mr. Griffin.
With the exception of the pages in that book which you have indicated are blank, every page in the book is filled, which means that there are only a total of 18 pages in the book altogether. Do you recall from looking at this notebook whether when you bought the notebook it had more pages in it than appear to be there now?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe it did have. I'm not positive.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall ripping out any of the pages?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't recall ripping out any full pages; no, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall whether in making the entries in that book you used pages in a consecutive fashion or whether you made entries on pages at random so that there would be many blank pages interspersed among pages that had writing on them?
Mr. Crafard.
Most of it, I believe, was--from the first portion of the book, from the front to the back was pretty well in rotation. If I turn it over to the back and maybe flip over four or five pages and make a notation in it, as I recall.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you mean by that that you would leave some blank pages at the back?
Mr. Crafard.
As I recall, there was blank pages left spaced in the back.
Mr. Griffin.
So your testimony would be that the book as you see it now is not in the same condition as it was in when you left Dallas on the 23d of November?
Mr. Crafard.
That is right.
Mr. Griffin.
Is there anything else about that book which appears to be different from the way that you remember it when you left Dallas on the 23d?
Mr. Crafard.
No; not that I can notice.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you have any general questions, Mr. Hubert, that you want to ask about the book?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes; I would like to. What was the purpose of keeping that book?
Mr. Crafard.
I used it, Jack would get calls he wanted to keep the number of and I'd write the number down in this book and later transfer to another book, and then I would use it if a phone call come in somebody wanting to talk to Jack I'd put the number down where he could get in touch with them at so I could give him the number to call.
Mr. Hubert.
I think you testified that the first three or four pages were made when you first bought the book?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
And were in fact numbers that you knew or he told you would be frequently called, is that right?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes; the first two pages on both sides.
Mr. Hubert.
He gave you those numbers?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
