(Testimony of William D. , Jr. Crowe)

Mr. Hubert.
Your thought is that you began on Monday, November 11, is that correct?
Mr. Crowe.
Right.
Mr. Hubert.
Does the fact that it was Armed Services Day or Armistice Day, as it used to be called, assist your recollection that it was that day? I mean, is there any doubt about the fact--
Mr. Crowe.
Was that Armistice Day?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes, November 11.
Mr. Crowe.
I don't know.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, let me put it this way, is there any doubt in your mind that that is the day you started, on the 11th?
Mr. Crowe.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
How many telephone calls do you suppose you got from Ruby in connection with this last engagement?
Mr. Crowe.
Oh, maybe three.
Mr. Hubert.
Those would have been to the T-Bone Hotel at Wichita?
Mr. Crowe.
No; there was no T-Bone Hotel.
Mr. Hubert.
What was the place?
Mr. Crowe.
The T-Bone Club. It was at the motel where I was staying.
Mr. Hubert.
What motel was that?
Mr. Crowe.
I think it was "El" something, I don't recall. Right around the corner there. It began with an "E".
Mr. Hubert.
It was near the T-Bone Club, is that correct?
Mr. Crowe.
Right. E1 Morocco maybe, I don't know.
Mr. Hubert.
When did the engagement which began on November 11, end in fact?
Mr. Crowe.
Right before Christmas, which was about, let's see--do you have a calendar again?
Mr. Hubert.
Here is a calendar of 1963 again. Let me put it this way: Did your engagement last for the entire period that you contracted for?
Mr. Crowe.
Longer.
Mr. Hubert.
I see. And your thought is that you left on the 21st of December?
Mr. Crowe.
Twenty-first.
Mr. Hubert.
Tell us in general what contacts you had with Jack Ruby during the period of November 11 through the 22d or the 22d of November, to the day that the President was shot?
Mr. Crowe.
Well, outside of seeing him in the club when he was there, and going to breakfast with him once in awhile after working hours, that was about it.
Mr. Hubert.
Where did you live in Dallas?
Mr. Crowe.
At that time I was at the Palomino Hotel on Fort Worth Avenue.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you choose that place yourself?
Mr. Crowe.
Yes; I had stayed there previously.
Mr. Hubert.
Do I understand from your statement that your contacts with Ruby were limited to a few breakfasts that you had with him?
Mr. Crowe.
That is about it.
Mr. Hubert.
Otherwise, I suppose it would have been simply business conversations, or were there any business conversations?
Mr. Crowe.
The only thing, about the only thing Jack ever spoke of was the club, one club or the other.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, on these occasions when you went to breakfast, what did he discuss, if you recall?
Mr. Crowe.
Business, money, the show itself, the band, the girls.
Mr. Hubert.
By the way, when you say breakfast, I assume you mean the meal that you took after the club closed about 2 o'clock in the morning, is that correct.
Mr. Crowe.
That is right.
Mr. Hubert.
Where did you normally go?
Mr. Crowe.
There was no normal, whatever suited his fancy.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he discuss with you the twistboard operation that he was interested in?
