persons, MRS. DECKER gave the following account:

A friend of GUY BÄNISTER as well as a business
associate. MRS. DECKER's feelings were that MARTIN
was a would-be investigator. However, BANISTER had
warned her that MARTIN was the type of man to be afraid
of. On November 23, 1963 MARTIN pulled a gun on
BANISTER in his office and threatened to kill him over
some words about the assassination of President Kennedy
MRS. DECKER stated that she had been told about the
above-mentioned incident a couple of weeks after it
happened by VERNON GEDDES.

MARTIN and two Cubans. Assisted Cubans in organization
