    "ocrText": "-3-\nI understand that Ferrie has a godson named\n\"Brownley\" whom I do not remember meeting but may have. To\nmy personal knowledge I have never meet Lee Harvey Oswald nor\ndo I think David Ferrie had met him but Ferrie is a linguish\nspeaking Spanish fluently as well as other languages and in\nthat Ferrie knew a number of people connected with the Cuban\nFreedom Movement in New Orleans perhaps he did meet Oswald.\nI am under the opinion that Ferrie is capable of almost\nanything though I do not believe that he is sufficiently\npolitically rabid to perpetrate a crime against the United\nStates. It is further my opinion that Jack Martin_and Typathy\ntoward Ferrie could cause him to imagine all types of crimes\nthat Ferrie might take part in. I have no personal knowledge\nof any crime committed by Ferrie though He did ask me at one\ntime to sign a false statement to the effect that -he had\npersonally witnessed a teenager habituating homosexual hangouts.\nThis Teen\nI was informed by Ferrie that he was the subject of one of the\nhomosexual charges filed against him either in Orleans or\nJefferson Parish and I feel that this boy had formerly been in\nFerrie's civil Air Patrol Unit. When I refused this I have\nheard that Ferrie sought out others to do the same thing. I\ndo not know why Martin dislikes Ferrie but I think that it is\nchiefly due to the fact that Ferrie accurately described\nMartin's personality, habits, and living conditions to some of\nMartin's phony bishops. Jack Martin to my knowledge has no\ncurrent regular income other than his wife's salary. He spends\nmost of his time at home painting pictures and on frequent\noccasions goes to the corner pub in order to become crocked\nout of his mind on four bottles of beer. I do not personally\nhave any faith in anything that Jack Martin says regarding"
