EXHIBIT "F" File
STATE OF LOUISIANA
PARISH OF ORLEANS
BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, personally
came and appeared:
DAVID CHANDLER
who, after being first duly sworn, declared that:
I have been employed by Life Magazine for the past
three years as Representative Reporter in the New Orleans
area, among other locations.
My interest in the late David W. Ferrie began in mid-
November 1966 with the information that Ferrie was definitely
linked to organized crime figures such as Carlos Marcello. In
my conversations with Jim Garrison in early December, 1966 I
was surprised to learn he, too, was concentrating on Ferrie
vis a vis the assassination. I was further surprised to find
him ignoring Ferrie's organized crime associations and exclusively
concerning himself with Ferrie's much less obvious anti-Castro
associations. Several times in December and January, I tact-
fully attempted to steer Garrison into at least considering
organized crime's possible involvement with the assassination.
I was unsuccessful. On the evening of January 24, 1967, I
pressed harder with the ploy detailed below, written at that
time as a memo to myself.
In the January 26 interview by Ward, I did not enter
into any extensive, or I should say candid, dialogue with him
because I wasn't confident of my legal rights and know from
personal knowledge that both Garrison and Ward's offices are
wired for surreptitious tape recordings and feared any candid
to spead of "Ferrie's " 02-
gannied crime associations is to em-
we stt into and we was - and are
picture play This was one of the first things
a half - firth to paint an unline
satisfaid area, would bendly have confided this day
that this simply was not the significant
thring else to Chander
