To Bethell?
District Attorney James Garrison,
Office of the District Attorney,
New Orleans, Louisiana
Dear Sir:
Upon reading what you have to say concerning
Right Wing elements active in the Kennedy assassination conspiracy,
I decided I may have some pieces of information you may find
curiously interesting. I do not know how valuable they will be
to you but, then again, I am not conducting the investigation.
From July, 1967, to December, 1957, I was a
probationary member of the National Socialist White Peoples' Party,
or, the American Nazi Panty. I have been to the National Headquarters
at Arlington, Va., and to headquarters of the Western Division in
El Monte, California. I am familiar with Party publications and
personnel. I have 2 good, if not excellent, understanding of Nazi
Party thinking and policies, besides a well established personal
mental "file" of individuals active in the NSWPP and their thoughts.
Here, then, are some facts and ideas I have come
across since my break with Right Wing groups last December, which
to me are extremely interesting and perhaps questionable. 1)
A
photograph secretly taken on or about Oct. 3, 1967, at Arlington,
Virginia, of an automobile which fits a, description given by a
witness of an auto she saw leaving the assassination scene in Dallas.
(owner unknowm, although it may belong to a G/L Redfield.) 2) The
assassinated leader of the NSWPP, G.L. Rockwell, was killed with a
pistol of the same type suspected to have been used by an unknown
assassin to fire the fatal shot into the right side of the President's
head. (Used to kill Rockwell by a John Patler, I heard at Arlington that
the Mauser.Machine pistol (about a 7 mm Cal) was stolen from a Party
Officer, Capt. Robert Lloyd. 3) In about the latter part of 1963,
Capt. Lloyd suddenly faded from the Party scene, along with several
other members of the Party hiarchy, and was no longer mentioned in Nazi
publications. In October, 1967, I heard an Arlington Staff member talking
to Capt. Lloyd on the Party telephone. 4) Capt. Lloyd was extremely
clever and quite interested in security and secret "activities"; he is
noted for appearing, un-challenged, upon the floor of the Senate wearing
a stove-pipe hat and black face! How he managed to slip past Senate
guards dressed like that has remained a secret. 5) The Dallas NSWPP
Leader uses an assumed name in all communications with Arlington via
public means.
I do not know of what good this information will be
to you, but I am willing to answer any questions you may have concorning
Party personnel and activities at any time.
Sincerely,
-William Witchenee
