Mr. Griffin. How long after?
Mr. Crafard. Because I felt that the way things were, I didn’t have any private life of my own. He wanted to tell me what I could do, who I could talk to, and who I couldn’t talk to if he put me on a salary where I was maybe making $35 or $40 a week I could live on my own, which I would much prefer to do.
Mr. Griffin. $35 or $40 plus the opportunity to live at the club?
Mr. Crafard. As long as it was $35 or $40, period. I could live on my own; for the work I done at the club, I could live on my own.
Mr. Griffin. All right. How long had you been with Jack before you started to ask him about this?
Mr. Crafard. I probably had been with him about 4 or 5 weeks. That was about 2 weeks before President Kennedy was assassinated.
Mr. Griffin. What did Jack say when you mentioned that to him?
Mr. Crafard. He said he would see what he could do.
Mr. Griffin. What do you mean by that? What did you understand by that?
Mr. Crafard. Well, he said what he could do; he would figure his bookwork out and see what he could do.
