(Testimony of Curtis Laverne Crafard)

Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Was there a cot there, too?
Mr. Crafard.
He had a couch in his office.
Mr. Hubert.
When you first went there it was the day the fair closed or the day after?
Mr. Crafard.
The day after the fair closed.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember the date of that?
Mr. Crafard.
No; I don't remember the date.
Mr. Hubert.
How long did you stay--strike that. How long did you sleep in Jack's office?
Mr. Crafard.
For about a week.
Mr. Hubert.
And then you moved into Jada's room?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Or dressing room, that is after she had gone?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, after she had gone.
Mr. Hubert.
And you stayed there until you left finally?
Mr. Crafard.
I left the 23d of November, I believe it was.
Mr. Hubert.
What were your hours there?
Mr. Crafard.
Any hours. I would just get up, I usually got up about 8 o'clock in the morning and I would be lucky if I would get to bed before 3:30, 4 o'clock.
Mr. Hubert.
How come you would get up so early?
Mr. Crafard.
Get the club cleaned up.
Mr. Hubert.
Wasn't there a man to help?
Mr. Crafard.
I took care of that mostly myself.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know a man by the name of Howard who used to do that stuff?
Mr. Crafard.
Howard was a maintenance man.
Mr. Hubert.
What did he do?
Mr. Crafard.
Just maintenance, upkeep of the building.
Mr. Hubert.
He didn't do the actual janitorial work?
Mr. Crafard.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
Cleaning up the cigarettes and that sort of thing?
Mr. Crafard.
He had a young fellow by the name of Andrew who was his assistant manager.
Mr. Hubert.
Is that Andrew Armstrong?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes. When I first went there, Andrew was doing the cleaning up and then I started helping him, and then I had been there for about 2 weeks and I was doing all the cleaning up by myself.
Mr. Hubert.
The club usually closed you say about 2 or 3 in the morning?
Mr. Crafard.
No; the club usually closed, I believe it was 1:30 or 2 o'clock in the morning the club closed.
Mr. Hubert.
You would get to bed about 2:30 or 3 o'clock?
Mr. Crafard.
Before everybody got out of there it would be 2:30, 3 o'clock.
Mr. Hubert.
Then you went to bed?
Mr. Crafard.
Then I went to bed.
Mr. Hubert.
How long did the cleaning up job usually take?
Mr. Crafard.
If I started cleaning up at 9 o'clock I would be finished by 11:30.
Mr. Hubert.
In other words, you had 2 1/2 hours?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Were you then usually free?
Mr. Crafard.
No. Jack would come in about 11:30 and be there 2 or 3 hours. After he left I had to stay there and answer the phone.
Mr. Hubert.
The club wasn't open then, was it?
Mr. Crafard.
No, the club didn't open until 7:30 at night.
Mr. Hubert.
So your duties were to clean up as soon as you got up and that took 2 1/2 or 3 hours and then just to stay there answering phone calls?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Where did you go to eat?
Mr. Crafard.
Most of the time I eat at the Walgreen drugstore catercornered across the street.
