RE:
DAVID LOUSTEAU - INTERVIEW WITH
(Levee Board Police Sergeant)
As you remember from our interview with CHUCK
NOTO, Mr. NOTO stated that around October of November of 1962
he arrested 2 men on the Lake front, one of whom was supposed
to be LEE HARVEY OSWALD. He gauged his time in regard to the
"fact that MARCEL CHAMPON was working late during the time
because they were trying to "knock off" a Mr. JOSEPH CRONIN.
Mr. LOUSTEAU also said that he can recall the particular inci-
dent that NOTO was talking about, but he cannot place any faces
or any names. He did take a look at the photograph and said
that this man is always around the Lakefront area fishing; that
he has talked to him on several occasion; that he has seen him
around a panel truck with a television repair sign on it which
apparently was done by an individual and not by a professional
sign painter. However, LOUSTEAU said that this could not have
happened in 1962 because as he remembers it, it was in 1961.
to
He said that he can remember CHAMPON staying there late that
night in 1961, but that he knows this incident could not have
happened in October or November of 1962 because JOE CRONIN was
not working for the Levee Board at that time.
As the date of Mr. CRONIN'S departure from the
Levee Board seemed to be pertinent to the situation, especially
to Mr. CRONIN"S presence in the Levee Board Police Station late
at night, I contacted Miss Teal at the main office of the Orleans
Levee Board and ascertained that Mr. JOSEPH CRONIN was dismissed
from the Orleans Levee Board in May of 1962. You will recall
that OSWALD did not get into the United States until June 10,
1962 when he arrived in Dallas from Russia.
I also interviewed LT. JACK GLIBER of the Levee
Board Police and he said he does not recall one thing about
the incident.
