Mr. Griffin. Was Bill Willis the leader of the band that played at the Carousel?

Mr. Crafard. I believe so; yes.

Mr. Griffin. Are you sure of that?

Mr. Crafard. I am not positive but I believe he was.

Mr. Griffin. Was Bill Willis, Ruby’s closest friend, in the band?

Mr. Crafard. Yes.

Mr. Griffin. What led you to that conclusion?

Mr. Crafard. Well, the fact that they would talk together quite often, if something come up in connection with the band it was always Bill he talked to. Bill seemed to talk to Ruby more than any of the other member of the band, and Ruby when he talked to anybody in the band it would be to Bill Willis more than anyone else.

Mr. Griffin. I am going to depart from this exhibit for a bit. You worked for the Tear Plating Company?

Mr. Crafard. Yes.
