(Testimony of Curtis Laverne Crafard Resumed)

Mr. Griffin.
sequence if you will look at Exhibit 5225-B, will you tell me whether you recognize any of the names written on there?
(Photographs marked Crafard Exhibits Nos. 5225-A through 5225-S for identification. )
Mr. Crafard.
The name Pauline is on this page.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recognize the name Milt Jaffe?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe the name Bonnie also appears on this, that would be the last name on this page.
Mr. Griffin.
State what you understand--you are looking through a magnifying glass now at photograph number one in the series of Exhibits 5225 and there is a name on there that you believe to be Bonnie?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Let me state for the record that as I look at it it appears to be Barney, but assuming that it is Bonnie, that is-- is that name familiar with you?
Mr. Crafard.
Bonnie, a girl was--a gift by the name of Bonnie worked as a waitress at the Carousel.
Mr. Griffin.
How about any of the other names on that page?
Mr. Crafard.
The name Pauline mentioned before.
Mr. Griffin.
Correction for the record, we are looking at photograph B in the 5225 series.
Would you look at photograph C in that series and tell me if you recognize any of the names on there?
Mr. Crafard.
This photograph doesn't contain any names. It has something to do with taxes, admission tax.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall what Jack Ruby's practice was while you worked with him as to keeping track of taxes and so forth?
Mr. Crafard.
On this admission tax we had some numbered tickets. When each customer came in we tore one in half, tore half of the tickets and gave them half of the ticket and once a month they would go at it and count the tickets.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall where he kept his records for those things?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't know where he kept his records at.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall his making entries in a small notebook for such records?
Mr. Crafard.
No; not on the admission tickets.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he have some sort of other book that he kept his tax records in?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe his accountant kept most of the tax records but there was something about the admission tax where him, Ruby and Andy would work on that together and count the stubs.
But I don't know where he kept record of them.
Mr. Griffin.
What was the admission charge to the club?
Mr. Crafard.
Two dollars.
Mr. Griffin.
Was it----
Mr. Crafard.
This was including the taxes.
Mr. Griffin.
Was that $2 every night or was there a different charge on weekends?
Mr. Crafard.
Two dollars every night at the Carousel.
Mr. Griffin.
What was his charge for admission at the Vegas, if there was any?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe that was 75 cents or 85 cents, something like that.
Mr. Griffin.
Would you look at photograph D?
Mr. Crafard.
That is another State admission tax note. July, August, and September.
Mr. Griffin.
That is Exhibit D of Series 5225.
I want to show you E of Exhibit 5225. There are some names written down there.
Do you recognize those names?
Mr. Crafard.
Billy Brook, I have heard his name mentioned, I believe he was a comedian; I am not sure.
Mr. Crafard.
