Mr. Griffin. How about Officer Tippit? Did he talk about that?
Mr. Crafard. No; I don’t recall as he said much about it other than the fact that he said he knew him.
Mr. Griffin. You indicated yesterday that you felt Jack’s concern over the death of the President was related to his concern for the convention business in Dallas. You remarked about his saying this is going to ruin the convention business.
Mr. Crafard. Something to that effect. That was one of the first things he said, but that was the only time he referred to it that I can recall.
Mr. Griffin. As you look at his activities, do you think that his concern or what had happened down in Dallas, meaning the death of the President and perhaps even the death of Officer Tippit, that Jack’s concern might have been more related to his fear about what would be happening to his business rather than any sympathy and grief over the man himself?
Mr. Crafard. No; I can’t say that he did. I mean it seems to me like if a man was really concerned about his business he wouldn’t have closed Friday night like he did. It seems to me like something like that—you know what I mean?
Mr. Griffin. But, again, that is an impression you are drawing from some sort of outside event?
Mr. Crafard. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. I am asking you to look at just what Jack was talking about and the things that he seemed to be concerned with and occupied with after the death of the President.
Were they things, was his conversation mostly about the President, or was it mostly about the things that he had to do in Dallas?
