O R D
April 4, 1967
TO:
JIM GARRISON
DISTRICT. ATTORNEY
FROM:
WILLIAM GURVICH
SPECIAL AIDE
SUBJECT:
SERGIO ARCACHA-SMITH - 25 FEBRUARY 1957 -
DALLAS, TEXAS
On 25 February 1967, James Alcock and I flew to
Dallas, Texas to interview SERGIO ARCACHA-SMITH and conduct other
business relating to the current special investigation.
After our arrival in Dallas, Alcock telephone the
residence of ARCACHA-SMITH. He was told by MRS. ARCACHA-SMITH
"just a minute" and when she returned to the phone she asked
Alcock to call back in one hour. At 5:00 P.M. Alcock called
again and MRS. ARCACHA said her husband was not there and was
with the District Attorney of Dallas and had expressed his desire
to meet in a group with this District Attorney. On both calls
Alcock identified himself. He had previously spoken with ARCACHA
who expected to hear from us on this date.
At 9:30 P.M. this same date, a third call was made
and a man answered the phone and identified himself to Alcock as
Detective Rodgers of the Dallas Police Department. He said
ARCACHA was present but preferred to be interviewed in Police
Headquarters and we were asked to meet them there in Room 316.
At 10:00 P.M. we arrived in Room 316. ARCACHA
arrived at 10:20 P.M. accompanied by Detectives Rodgers and
Burnley. We were then taken to a conference room on the same
floor and exchanged identification. Alcock explained our presence
was to have ARCACHA identify certain persons and give us back-
ground information. ARCACHA said "o.K. shöot".
Alcock said we could not talk in the presence of
others except an attorney if ARCACHA wanted one present. ARCACHA
said this was the only way he would talk to us - in front of
these detectives. I then said we might as well go as we could
not conduct an interview under these conditions and again
reminded ARCACHA his attorney could be present.
ARCACHA then addressed me and said someone had
been looking for him displaying identification similar to that
which I had displayed. ARCACHA shook his finger at me and was
visibly nervous and excited.
