Mr. Hubert. So, according to that it couldn’t have been before you left Dallas?
Mr. Crafard. According to that; yes.
Mr. Griffin. But do you still, in light of that do you still, have the recollection that you did hear it before you left Dallas?
Mr. Crafard. I am not sure.
Mr. Griffin. Let me ask you this, Larry: If you had heard this before you left Dallas, was your feeling nevertheless about Ruby’s insanity or state of mind so strong at the point when you learned that Ruby shot Oswald that you would have regarded such a statement as being of minimal importance or was your initial reaction to Ruby’s having shot Oswald a sort of quizzical one in which you really hadn’t made up your mind about the man?
Mr. Crafard. My original reaction when I first heard about it was the fact I couldn’t really believe that he had done it. I just couldn’t believe, I couldn’t make myself believe, that Jack had done it.
Mr. Griffin. Why was that? Was there something about Jack——
Mr. Crafard. From what I knew of him he didn’t strike me as the type of person that would do so. I later made up my mind that, I come to the opinion, if he had done it, if he had done it, he must have been insane when he had done it, before I saw anything on television about it.
Mr. Griffin. I take it then that your initial reaction that Jack couldn’t have done this also reflected what you had seen of him on Friday and Saturday, that he wasn’t in such—didn’t appear to you to be in such—a state of mind at that time as being one who wanted to go out and kill.
Mr. Crafard. That is right.
