(Testimony of Curtis Laverne Crafard Resumed)

Mr. Crafard.
They are pictures of a message, I would say that--there is space for who the message is to, the date, who it is by, and when they were there and the phone numbers.
Mr. Griffin.
Are there three message slips photographed in that picture?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, do you ever recall seeing those around, such message slips around, the Carousel Club?
Mr. Crafard.
No; I don't.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you ever recall seeing those in any connection with Mr. Ruby?
Mr. Crafard.
No; I don't.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recognize the handwriting?
Mr. Crafard.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
That is on there. Do you recognize any of the names on those sheets of paper?
Mr. Crafard.
None other than the name Ruby here.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall whether Mr. Ruby received telephone calls regularly at any phone other than the phone at the Carousel Club?
Mr. Crafard.
He might at his home address. I wouldn't know.
Mr. Griffin.
Would you look at what I have marked in the same fashion as Exhibit 5224-B and tell me if you recognize any of the names that are shown in that photograph?
(Photograph marked Crafard Exhibit No. 5224--B for identification.)
Mr. Crafard.
The middle one in the picture bears the name Pauline which is the name of the assistant manager of the Vegas Club.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you know whether there was somebody who stayed throughout the day at the Vegas Club in the same manner that you stayed throughout the day at the Carousel Club?
Mr. Crafard.
I don't believe there was.
Mr. Griffin.
I am going to show you a series of photographs all of which are marked Washington, D.C., April 10, 1964 and which I am going to mark Exhibit 5225. Each of these 19 photographs has in the upper right-hand corner on the reverse side of the photograph a letter in sequence from A to S. I would like you to look at all 19 of these photographs and tell me if you recognize the notebook which they purport to depict.
Mr. Crafard.
I believe these to be a notebook that Jack Ruby used.
Mr. Griffin.
Where would you recall seeing that notebook?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe he carried it on his person.
Mr. Griffin.
Yesterday you identified two other notebooks one which you thought he kept on his person, the other which you thought he kept in his desk.
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Having seen this is there would you change your testimony any way about the other two notebooks that you identified yesterday?
Mr. Crafard.
No; I don't believe so.
Mr. Griffin.
So it is your testimony that Jack maintained at least three small-sized notebooks that you recall?
Mr. Crafard.
He had several of them, two or three of which he carried on him.
Mr. Griffin.
I want to state for the record that these photographs do not have the normal commission number that is put on documents when they come into the office. These photographs at this time have come to us by a letter from the Federal Bureau of Investigation dated April 7, and the letter indicates that this notebook was found in Jack Ruby's automobile.
I will identify this notebook further as having on the front cover the word "Alladin". The notebook appears to be a pocket- size notebook which might be 2 by 3 inches or 1 1/2 by 3 inches.
Under the word "Alladin" there is a triangle with some writing which I am trouble to read. Under the triangle. on the cover is written notebook No. 3164.
Mr. Hubert.
You had better identify that picture you hold in your hand.
Mr. Griffin.
The picture I am referring to here is Exhibit 5225-A. The one refers to the number that the Bureau has put on in the upper right-hand corner on the reverse side. I am going to ask you to look at these photographs in
