He said he recognized CLAY BERTRAND'S voice on the
phone as he had heard it before and the voice was deep, intelli-
gent and educated. ANDREWS said BERTRAND had "command of the
King's English" and didn't sound homosexual or effeminate.
When asked to describe the person he saw on
Dauphine Street and concluded it was BERTRAND, ANDREWS asked for
a short break to refresh his memory at 6:29 P.M.
Resuming, ANDREWS said he "didn't carry a tape
measure" with him. Finally he said this man had grey hair and
ruddy complexion. ANDREWS added that he though BERTRAND was
bi-sexual. At this point he recalled the bar was Cosmos's
ANDREWS said he had actually seen this man twice. The first time
was at a "gay bar" (homosexual hangout) - "maybe' Dixie's or
"maybe on Chartres". ANDREWS said he only "assumed" it was CLAY
BERTRAND on this first meeting.
ANDREWS said he was confined to Hotel Dieu Hospital
in New Orleans on the day of the assassination. While there he
received a phone call from CLAY BERTRAND who asked him to go to
Dallas, Texas and defend LEE HARVEY OSWALD who had been arrested
and accused of murder.
At this point ANDREWS recalled that on OSWALD's
visit to his office CLAY BERTRAND told ANDREWS on the phone that
he would pay the expenses. ANDREWS said the exact words were,
"I'll personally handle fee.
ANDREWS was asked if he knew CLAY SHAW and he said
he had seen pictures of him but they had never met. Asked if
BERTRAND and SHAW were similar in :physical description, ANDREWS
said he "wouldn't know". He said he had no file on BERTRAND.

ANDREWS then said we could call Regis `ennedy of the F.B.I. and
John Rice adding that he "could care less".
He said all the homosexual young men he represented
knew BERTRAND's number and would call him from ANDREWS' office.
ANDREWS added that he "handled' so many homosexuals because his
"reputation preceded him". ANDREWS said he probably met fifteen
or twenty homosexuals who knew CLAY BERTRAND. He cannot remember
any of their names.
During this interview, several photographs of
various persons, including CLAY SHAW, were shown to ANDREWS.
Several names were also mentioned for recognition. This was to
no avail.
The interview concluded at 7:23 P.M, 2 March 1967.
