RE:
INTERVIEW OF EMPLOYEES OF JONES PRINTING COMPANY
Lee Oswold
On this date at approximately 12 Noon I arrived at Jones
Printing Company, 442 Girard. On arrival I spoke with Mrs. Myra Silvers,
WF, residing at 740 Helois Street, Metairie, Louisiana, an employee of
the company for twenty years who informed me that Mr. Douglas Jones,
owner of Jones Printing Company was not in and would not be back for
several days.
I identified myself to Mrs. Silvers, told her my business and
talked to her in reference to Lee Harvey Oswald and the leaflets printed
by Jones Printing Company back in 1963. Mrs. Silvers informed me that
on May 29, 1963, a gentleman, WM, who identified himself as Mr.
Osborne had entered the establishment and at first talked with her
in
reference to printing 1,000 leaflets labeled Cuba Fair Play, Committee.
She said at this time she was in doubt about the type of leaflet and
called on Mr. Arthur Nuessly, WM, 63 years old, residing at 317
Warrington Drive, New Orleans, an employee of Jones Printing Company
for 49 years. She spoke to him in reference to this leaflet, whether
or not to print it since it was involving politics. Mr. Nuessly
said he could see nothing harmful in it and to go ahead and print it.
On June 4, 1963, Mr. Osborne (or Oswald) returned to the
establishment, picked up the leaflets, paid Mrs. Silvers in the amount
of $9.60 and left. I spoke to Mrs. Silvers and asked had this man
Osborne (or Oswald) been in the establishment before. She replied
that he hadn't and she hasn't seen him since the day he picked the
leaflets up. I also asked her if he was alone when placing the order
and picking it up and she replied that he was completely alone both
times. I asked Mrs. Silver who had referred Jones Printing Company
to Osborne (or Oswald) and she stated as far as her knowledge, no one;
however, he worked for the William Riley Coffee Company which was
