(Testimony of Curtis L. Crafard Resumed)

Mr. Crafard.
No. The door was locked downstairs, nobody could get up.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you put up the sign?
Mr. Crafard.
I waited until about a quarter to eight before I put up the sign.
Mr. Hubert.
Were the other clubs open?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe they were closed too. I am not sure. I am not positive about that.
Mr. Hubert.
Any phone calls come at all the rest of the evening?
Mr. Crafard.
Not that I recall.
Mr. Hubert.
You were there alone that night?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
You just watched television until you went to bed?
Mr. Crafard.
I watched television for quite a while. I watched television most of the afternoon. It seemed like the more I watched it, the worse it made me feel, in a way, so I just quit watching it. I had a couple of books there and I read most of the afternoon and the evening.
Mr. Hubert.
What time did you go to bed?
Mr. Crafard.
I must have went to bed probably about 9 or 9:30, something like that.
Mr. Hubert.
And there were no phone calls?
Mr. Crafard.
Not that I can recall. I believe there was--about midnight I believe it was, there was a call. I don't even know why this girl called. I don't even know why she called. I talked to her for a few minutes and then I took the phone out of the office. It had a big long cord on it and I carried it in by my bed. I stretched out on the bed and we talked for quite a long time.
Mr. Hubert.
Who was the girl?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't even remember her name. I had never met her before or ever heard from her again.
Mr. Hubert.
Who did she say she was?
Mr. Crafard.
She give me her name. I don't remember what her name was.
Mr. Hubert.
What did she say her business was, why did she call?
Mr. Crafard.
I think she said something about wanting a job with the club or something.
Mr. Hubert.
It was not a girl that worked at the club in any way?
Mr. Crafard.
No; she was not connected with the club.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you think she did identify herself?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes; I know she identified herself.
Mr. Hubert.
But you don't remember who she was?
Mr. Crafard.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
You had never seen her before?
Mr. Crafard.
No. I had never met the girl.
Mr. Hubert.
You didn't recognize the name?
Mr. Crafard.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you recognize the voice?
Mr. Crafard.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
As far as you could say then this was a complete stranger to you?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
How long did you speak to her?
Mr. Crafard.
Oh, we must have talked altogether for about an hour, an hour and a half, and then hung up, and about 15 or 20 minutes she called back and talked for a couple of hours.
Mr. Hubert.
Now you talked to this girl for a total of about 3 hours that night?
Mr. Crafard.
That's right.
Mr. Hubert.
What was it all about?
Mr. Crafard.
Just more or less talking, getting acquainted. More than anything over the phone, the best I could.
Mr. Hubert.
Did she indicate where she was?
Mr. Crafard.
She was baby sitting for a friend of hers. She give me to understand she was to catch a bus out of town the next morning, about 5:30.
Mr. Hubert.
In the course of the conversation did you try to find out why she had called the Carousel?
