(Testimony of Curtis Laverne Crafard Resumed)

Mr. Crafard.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Yesterday I gave you a copy of the FBI report of its interview with you. Did you have a chance to look that over?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
As a result of having read that interview, are there any changes or corrections that you desire to make in that interview?
Mr. Crafard.
Mostly were minor changes. One was the spelling of my wife's maiden name.
Mr. Griffin.
How should that be spelled?
Mr. Crafard.
It should be spelled with a "P" instead of an "0" there.
Mr. Griffin.
Would you take my pen and correct that and then initial it and date it where it appears in the interview?
I am going to mark this exhibit, "Washington, D.C., April 10, 1964. C.L. Crafard, Exhibit 5226," and I am going to sign my name to the bottom of the first page.
(The document was marked Crafard Exhibit No. 5226, for identification.)
Mr. Griffin.
I have made this notation on the first page of what purports to be an FBI report of an interview with Mr. Crafard, the interview having been conducted on November 28, 1963, at Bellaire, Mich., by Special Agent Theodore S. Kramer, K-r- a-m-e-r, dictated November 29, 1963.
There are eight pages to this report and at the bottom of each page there is a number beginning in sequence with the number 147 and continuing through the number 154 on the last page.
I am going to put my own initials on pages 148 through 154.
You have made your first correction of the name of your wife?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
On the first page of this Exhibit 5226?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
All right. Now, are there any other changes?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes, the date of our wedding instead of the 16th of June was the 22d of June.
Mr. Griffin.
You are correcting that in the same fashion that you made of the other correction?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes. The fact he stated here almost every hour Ruby was asking about calls. Called between one and three times a day.
Mr. Griffin.
Let's make a correction on there, then, if this is agreeable to you the sentence reads, "other than that Ruby would telephone I call, I contact him almost every hour for any calls."
After the word "contact him" why don't you cross out the remainder of the sentence and then make a correction in your handwriting.
Mr. Crafard.
"almost every hour."
Mr. Griffin.
You are crossing out "almost every hour" and you are going to write something in there.
He has written on here "one or two times" but he spelled day "b-a-y" and he has put his initials CLC with the date 4-10-64. He has crossed out the words "almost every hour."
Are there any other additions or corrections?
Mr. Crafard.
I believe there were a couple of small minor changes in there. This about Ruby kept the revolver when he had money. There was only one occasion when he would take the revolver from the car.
Mr. Griffin.
All right. Well, we will have to change that, then.
Mr. Crafard.
With this, I can go back and name the one MC I have mentioned and I couldn't think of his name, Bill Norman.
Mr. Griffin.
All right. Now, you have referred to this sentence: "He said that when transporting money Ruby kept his money in the trunk with the revolver and always kept the revolver with him when moving money."
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Would you want to cross out everything after the phrase "with the revolver"?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
And if you want to add anything, state something to the effect
