(Testimony of Curtis Laverne Crafard Resumed)

Mr. Griffin.
Did you overhear this telephone conversation?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir; there was something said about how they was doing there, how they was selling there in Dallas, and the fact that Jack thought that they would really go over pretty good up in Detroit, Chicago, and in that area.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, there is a number under "Earl Ruby, Detroit" is written under "personal UN-3400" and under "Earl Ruby, Detroit" there are some other notations. Would you indicate what those are?
Mr. Crafard.
It would be the No. 313 would be a code number, I believe, for Detroit. The phone No. "UN 3-5590" which would be the business number for Earl Ruby, and the words "Cobo Laundry" with the address "18135 Livernoise Avenue," Livernoise Street.
Mr. Griffin.
May I point out for the record that Livernoise is written on two lines along the right-hand side of the page under the line which says "Cobo Laundry 18135" on it, and it is bracketed off from a notation, which is "Ed Pullman" and on the next line "TA-34484."
Do you recognize the name Ed Pullman?
Mr. Crafard.
He was a gentleman there in Dallas, I believe, that Jack called several times.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you know what his dealings were with Ed Pullman?
Mr. Crafard.
No, I do not.
Mr. Griffin.
There is a line under that telephone number, "UN-3" and then "UN-3" is scratched out and then on the following line there is a name written. What is that name?
Mr. Crafard.
Leona Miller.
Mr. Griffin.
Who was she?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe she was a girl that called in connection with or in answer to an ad that Jack Ruby had in the paper for waitresses.
Mr. Griffin.
So this entry, "Leona Miller" would not represent somebody whom Jack called regularly?
Mr. Crafard.
Not to my knowledge; no, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
It doesn't really go with the group of numbers then that we have been talking about which were sort of permanent numbers?
Mr. Crafard.
That is right.
Mr. Griffin.
How about Ed Pullman though. Would he fall in this category of people that Jack called regularly?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Now there is a telephone number under the name Leona Miller, and then there is a blank line, and there is something written on the next three lines. What is that on the next three lines?
Mr. Crafard.
Clark Dotty, I believe it is, D-o-t-t-y.
Mr. Griffin.
And the telephone number.
Mr. Crafard.
WH 1-1227.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recognize the name Clark Dotty?
Mr. Crafard.
No, I don't; sir.
Mr. Griffin.
That concludes the reverse side of page one does it not?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Just before you finish that, let me ask you this. I notice that there is apparently the name Clark Dotty written out at the bottom of page one or the reverse of page one, and when it is written the first time the word "Clark" seems to be written and scratched through and then Clark Dotty is written again under its number.
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Are both of those entries in your handwriting?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Can you tell us why you wrote it twice?
Mr. Crafard.
About the only reason I can see here would be the fact that when I wrote it the first time instead of the name Clark I put some other name down. Then I wrote over it and I couldn't make it out so I wrote the name Clark Dotty underneath it.
Mr. Griffin.
Larry, do you recognize the name Mary Ray?
Mr. Crafard.
No, sir; I don't.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you ever meet Ed Pullman's wife?
