MEMORAnDUM
April 4, 1967
TO:
JIM GARRISON
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
FROM:
WILLIAM GURVICH
SPECIAL AIDE
SUBJECT:
DEAN ANDREWS - INTERVIEW 3/2/67
On 5:56 P.M., 2 March 1967, DEAN ANDREWS,
accompanied by his attorney Sam Zelden, was interviewed in the
Office of the District Attorney, Parish of Orleans, by Assistant
District Attorneys James Alcock, Richard Burnes, Adnrew Sciambra
and Special Aide William Gurvich. This interview was tape-
recorded with the knowledge and consent of Mr. ANDREWS. While
awaiting the transcription of that tape, this memorandum is
respectfully submitted.
ANDREWS stated he is an Assistant District Attorney
in the Twenty-Fourth Judicial District of Louisiana.
He further stated he had appeared before the
Warren Commission in their investigation of the assassination of
President Kennedy and furnished testimony relative to his
knowledge of the accused assassin, LEE HARVEY OSWALD.
ANDREWS said OSWALD came to his office in May or
June 1963 for legal assistance. From memory, ANDREWS said he
probably saw OSWALD three or four times. ANDREWS' office was in
627 Maison Blanche Building, New Orleans, when OSWALD came with
three young men who were obvious homosexuals. The latter were
in some minor trouble with the local police but it was not
necessary for him to actually represent them. ANDREWS stated he
was well known in the French Quarter and had represented homo-
sexuals on several occasions.
When questioned about his testimony on 21 July 1964
before the Warren Commission, wherein he said there were one or
two homosexuals, ANDREWS studied the Commission Report for five
minutes (6:03-6:08 P.M) and the interview resumed.
ANDREWS said his figures to us were accurate and
added that one of these "gay kids" (homosexuals) was a Mexican.
He said the Mexican was quiet and did not talk. ANDREWS recalls
having made a file on this but did not retain it.
According to ANDREWS, OSWALD identified himself
and sat on ANDREWS left during their first meeting. He doesn't
remember if the others were identified.
