GEORGE LARDNER, JR.
continued
vestigator. That should be self-appointed investigator.
Q.
Did he go into detail about JACK MARTIN or anyone else?
A.
Not too much.
Q.
Did he at all?
A.-
He said, at one point, that you, WILLIAM GURVICH, were well-
acquainted with JACK MARTIN.
Q.
MARTIN, JACK MARTIN?
A.
Yes, JACK MARTIN.
Q.
Again, did he mention any names or refer to friends?
A.
He also referred to youngsters that he had befriend over
the years. He described it as sort of a hobby, taking de-
serving youngsters who are products of broken homes and
helping them get ahead in life. He said he felt he had been
pretty successful, that some had turned out doctors, mili-
tary officers, and the like.
Q.
Did you notice any medication in the apartment?
A.
I noticed, particularly, a brown bottle that was standing
on the piano near where we were sitting. It had a label on
it but I don't recall what the medication was.
Q.
Was the bottle empty?
A.
I couldn't tell, the label covered most of the front.
Q.
Did FERRIE eat, drink or take any medication, liquid or
otherwise, during your visit?
A.
He made a pot of coffee and we both had a cup?
Q.
Do you know if the coffee was already prepared or did he
make it fresh during your visit?
A.
I think he made it fresh, he observed that it came out too
strong.
Q.
What room were you in?
A.
The living room.
Q.
Did FERRIE receive any phone calls or make any calls during
your visit?
A.
No.
Q.
Did anyone else come to his apartment during your visit?
A.
No.
Q.
Did FERRIE say if he was expecting anyone?
A.
No, he didn't say one way or the other. I take it he wasn't
since he indicated he was about to go to bed as I drove up.
Q.
Did you ask him if he thought he was a suspect in any
current investigation?
A.
I didn't put it that way. I asked him, as I mentioned before
whether he was worried in light of the investigation.
Q.
Did FERRIE say, or indicate, that any of his friends or
associates were worried about any current investigation?
A.
No, he didn't.
