(Testimony of Curtis Laverne Crafard Resumed)

Mr. Griffin.
consists of 20 pages and those 20 pages include the cover which is marked "Addresses," and that is page No. 1, and the remainder of the pages are numbered consecutively through 20. I might also indicate that on each page of this exhibit, with the exception of page 1 and page 20, two pages are photographed open, so that would make a total of almost 40 pages of actual written addresses. I hand you, Larry, what has been marked as Exhibit 5205, Washington, D.C., C. L. Crafard, April 9, 1964," and I have put my signature on there. This is a photograph of a group of people, and there is an arrow pointing toward one of the people. First of all, can you tell us if you recognize the place in which that photograph was taken?
Mr. Crafard.
It appears to be the Carousel Club.
(The document referred to was marked Crafard Exhibit No. 5205 for identification.)
Mr. Griffin.
Is there anything about it that looks like the Carousel?
Mr. Crafard.
You can just see the portion of the runway across here.
Mr. Griffin.
This is in the lower left-hand corner?
Mr. Crafard.
Lower left-hand corner of the picture, and the Carousel was the only club in Dallas to have runways, to seat the customers on runways. These gentlemen are sitting right on the runway.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you see anybody in that picture that you recognize?
Mr. Crafard.
No; I don't. I see one of the waitresses back in the background. I can't make out which one it is on the upper right-hand portion, standing holding a tray, but I can't make out who it is though.
Mr. Griffin.
There is an arrow directed toward one of the individuals in that picture. Do you ever recall seeing that individual in the club before?
Mr. Crafard.
No; I don't. I don't recall seeing him at all.
Mr. Griffin.
Is that picture of yourself?
Mr. Crafard.
No; definitely not.
Mr. Griffin.
Why do you say definitely not?
Mr. Crafard.
One thing, the clothing. He is wearing a checkered shirt.
Mr. Griffin.
Yes.
Mr. Crafard.
Any time I was in the club I wore a suit.
Mr. Griffin.
You always wore a suit?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes. I sometimes took my dress Jacket off and put on a gold livery jacket on.
Mr. Griffin.
Were you ever dressed in a sweater of any sort there?
Mr. Crafard.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you wear a tie while you were in the club?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes. This gentleman is wearing what would appear to be a sport shirt, and I would say he is an older gentleman than I am.
Mr. Griffin.
I want to hand you what I have marked for purposes of identification as "Washington, D.C., C. L. Crafard, April 9, 1964, Exhibit 5206," and I have signed my name to it. Do you recognize the place where that photograph was taken?
Mr. Crafard.
Mostly on the stage of the Carousel Club looking down the center runway.
(The document referred to was marked Crafard Exhibit No. 5206 for identification.)
Mr. Griffin.
Do you see anybody in that picture that you know?
Mr. Crafard.
Excuse me; that is looking down the side runway on the left side.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recognize anybody in that picture?
Mr. Crafard.
The young lady on the stage with her back to us, I believe, is the stripper known as Tammi True.
Mr. Griffin.
Blond hair?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
What is--how about the man who appears to be dressed in a tuxedo and standing on the stage; do you recognize him?
Mr. Crafard.
He looks like the comedian known, that I can only remember the name as, Johnny. He worked with a couple of puppets.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recognize the man in the checked shirt?
