RE: Individuals subpoenaed to the
Orleans Parish Grand Jury
Dear Jon:
Following is a list of persons I recall as having testified before
the Grand Jury in connection with our inquiry into the assassination
of President Kennedy. The year involved, according to my recollection
would have been 1967 in some instances and 1968 in others. As I ad-
vised you by phone, Grand Jury testimony here is automatically typed
afterwards so that the complete transcript should readily be avail-
able to you.
also:
Dean Andrews
Kerry Thornley
Anna Burghue
Thomas Beckham
Loren Hall
Eric M. Knowchat
Lawrence Howard
Layton Martens
Sam Newman
F. Lee Crisman
Carlos Quiroga
Marina Oswald
Ruth Paine
Vergon Bundy (firsibly)
Jorge Rodriging
Regis Kennedy
There may have béen others and I will have to talk to former members
of my staff to clarify this, however these were the witnesses whom
I clearly recall as having testified. The specific records of pre-
cisely who testified and when (as well as the transcripts of their
testimony) would be in the custody of the present District Attorney
of Orleans Parish: Harry F. Connick, 2700 Tulane Avenue, New Orleans,
La.
Dean Andrews, who clearly lied during his Grand Jury testimony, was
subsequently charged with perjury (essentially, as I recall the
charge) with regard to his testimony that Clay Shaw was not the "Clay
Bertrand" who contacted him about representing Lee Harvey Oswald. He
was subsequently found guilty at a jury trial; although I don't re-
call ever seeing this minor footnote to history ever noted in the
national press.
