OFFICE 02 THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY
PARISH OF ORLEANS
state OF LOUISIANA
December 15, 1966
STATEMENT OF:
DAVID F. LEWIS, JR. WM, 26 years
2632 Cleveland Avenue
New Oxleans, Louisiana
Business phone 522-9701 or 525-4201
I have never previously been interviewed by the FBI
or any other agency on this matter.
During the months of January, 1961, through Januaxy,
1962, I was employed by Guy Banister & Associates as a private
investigator. In the late summer of 1963 I was reporting to
the Louisiana State Employment Office, at 601 Camp Street seeking
steady employment. At this time all I had was odd jobs from
time to time. Several times I stopped by Guy Banister's Office
in the Newman Building to see if he had any leg work to be done.
on one occasion I stopped by Banister's office, before going
into the office; I stopped by Mancuso's Restaurant which is
on the corner of Banister's Office. X noticed Sergio Achacio,
Carlos, and a fellow whom I was introdueed to by Carlos as
Lee Harvey in the restaurant. It has now been determined by
me through photographs that this man was Lee Harvey Oswald.
plus the time when I was at home when Jack Ruby killed Lec
Oswald and it came on T.V. and I said I had seen that man
before. When I first seen Lee Oswald in the restaurant, he
didn't talk much, but he seemed to be anxious about getting on
his way. Oswald appeared to be highly nervous man with
boundless energy. Carlos, Sergio and Lee Oswald were involved
in some business which dealt with Cuba. It appeared to me that
this was a business that was more or less a racket to acquire
funds.
