Mr. Griffin.
marked, "Washington, D.C., April 10, 1964, C. L. Crafard, Exhibits 5230," and they are numbered on the face of the photograph in a sequence starting with "A" which contains a picture of the front cover of a notebook which says, "USS" with a circle around the USS, and then in quotation marks "oil well" and then down on the bottom right-hand corner of this front cover which is photographed the number 1964. That photograph has the letter "A" on the front of it. After that, there are a series of photographs numbered in sequence I through 10 making a total of 11 photographs altogether. Now, I would like you to look at these photographs and tell us if that is a, if those photographs are photographs of anything that you have ever seen before.
Mr. Crafard.
Yes; these are photographs of a pocket diary that is put out by United States Steel for the oil well corporation.
Mr. Griffin.
Who maintained that diary?
Mr. Crafard.
I did.
Mr. Griffin.
Is that, are those photographs of the diary which you turned over ,to us on Wednesday?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Would you go through those photographs and tell us if everything that you have written in that diary up to date has been photographed in those pictures?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes; everything I have wrote in Chat book is here.
Mr. Griffin.
Do the Nos. I through 10 follow in sequence with the pages, the sequence of the pages that contain writing in your notebook?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
I want to direct your attention to photograph No. 1. There is a notation at the top of that photograph. Would you read that notation?
Mr. Crafard.
"No. 844," the letters HEB 12, 13 and underneath, 844 is the Nos. 12 with a dash 23.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you put that notation in the notebook?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes; I did.
Mr. Griffin.
When did you put that on there?
Mr. Crafard.
Just shortly after I got the notebook in Michigan.
Mr. Griffin.
What is that notation, what does that refer to?
Mr. Crafard.
It refers to the Bible. It is referring to the Book of Hebrews, page 844 the 12th Chapter, and 23d verse.
Mr. Griffin.
Why did you write that in there?
Mr. Crafard.
There is something in the Bible that refers to the church to which I belong.
Mr. Griffin.
What church is that?
Mr. Crafard.
General Assembly Church of the First Born. That is the only place in the Bible where the name can be found.
Mr. Griffin.
Mr. Hubert, do you have any questions that you want to ask about the notebook?
Mr. Hubert.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
I am going to return the notebook to you at this time, and I want to thank you for bringing those documents to us. I want to ask you one final question. Is there anything which has come to your attention in connection with the murder of Lee Oswald or the assassination of President Kennedy that you haven't told us about that you think would be of value to the Commission?
Mr. Crafard.
No; I can't think of anything.
Mr. Griffin.
I will ask you after we conclude this deposition if anything does come to your attention which might be of value to the Commission if you would contact us and bring it to our attention.
Mr. Crafard.
Yes; I will do so.
Mr. Griffin.
Mr. Hubert, do you have any questions that you want to ask?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes. There have been several conversations between us which might be called interviews in the sense we were talking about the matter at hand during lunch and so forth, is that correct?
Mr. Crafard.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember that anything we conversed about at lunch or any interviews, has not been subsequently made a part of this deposition?
