SERGIO ARCACHA - CURRENT RESIDENCE
In my report of 6 February 1967, I noted that the former neigh-
bors of SERGIO ARCACHA at 10746 LAKE GARDENS, DALLAS, TEXAS,
were very reluctant and curious as to why I wanted to locate him.
It was only after convincing reasons that MRS. ROBERT (BARBARA)
YOUNG gave me his new address. MRS. CRAWFORD was equally curious.
Both gave the impression they were protecting him. It is my
opinion that one or both of these women have since told ARCACHA
of my visit.
Recalling his obvious intensive interest in LOISEL and me near
his residence, 9915 DONEGAL DRIVE, DALLAS, TEXAS, coupled with
the subsequent news from his former neighbors, ARCACHA may well
be aware he has been located and is the subject of an investi-
gation. He might regard us as some of the revolutionariesswho
have good reason to look for him regarding funds he form ly
handled in New Orleans. Or, he might have more accurately
identified us as investigators.
Therefore, I am offering the suggestion that some method of
keeping tab on ARCACHA be instituted. Should he move again,
I would expect him to be even more difficult to locate.

Army each summer. (GEORGE denied ever having stated that he
was a foreign correspondent during the Spanish Revolution,
but stated that he had submitted some articles on the
effects of the Revolution from Italy, but had not at any
time actually been assigned to nor had he covered any phase
of the Revolution itself.)
GEORGE stated that on withdrawing from the business,
he had decided to come to the United States for the following
reasons: to seek employment as a newspaper reporter, to visit
his brother, DIMITRI, to meet his other American relatives,
to observe Democracy at work since he was interested in
Democracy. GEORGE stated that he had sailed from Le Havre,
France, on the "SS Manhattan" under a Belgian quota number
and had arrived at New York City on May 13, 1938. On
arriving he had lived for a while with his brother, DIMITRI,
at 950 Park Avenue, and during this approximate one to two
month visit he visited English classes at the University of
Columbia in order to improve his speech. (He stated that he
could read and write Russian, Polish, French, Spanish,
German, and English.)
GEORGE continued that he had been dissuaded from
employment as a newspaper reporter by reporters he had met
from the "New York Times", who told him of the arduous work
and also of the difficulty of getting printed anything
that they really wanted to write, and further, they persuaded
him that his accent would be a detriment to such work.
Shortly thereafter, GEORGE stated, that through his brother,
DIMITRI, he met MARGARET WILLIAMS from New Orleans, Louisiana,
and he was invited to visit them during the summer of 1939
to observe the oil business since the WILLIAMS family was
engaged in this business. This invitation was accepted,
according to GEORGE, and the visit made, and, after visiting
in New Orleans for a while, he continued on to Houston,
Texas, where he had met Mr. BLAFFER, President of the Humble
011 Company, through a letter from his father to BLAFFER.
Through Vice-President JOHN SUMAN he was started into the
business as a "roughneck", and later as a "rig-man", up until
November, 1939, when he sustained a severe cut on his right
arm. This, in addition to his weakened condition from
amoebic dysentery, caused his return to New York City in
December of 1939.

Dear Jim:
It was so good to hear from you Saturday, and to know
that you are still interested in the assassination. I
guess one never completely gets over the interest once it
has "bitten" you.
Some of my documents are on microfilm (about 18 rolls
that I need to have printed out). I am sending CD 551 and
one page from CD 533. Before Buck and I visit New Orleans,
which I hope will be soon, I will try to have the microfilm
printed out.
The following is a short chronology which points out the
proximity of these players. I know that somewhere in my
files I have a detailed account which brings out even more.

RE:
CLAY SHAW
During my recent interview with MR. JAMES J. PLAINE
of Houston, Texas, MR. PLAINE informed me that he had been
contacted by a MR. WHITE of Freeport Sulphur in regards to a
possible assassination plan for Fidel Castro.
MR. PLAINE said that MR. WHITE was only one of the
many oil and import people that he had occasion to talk to
from New Orleans regarding Castro.
MR. PLAINE also informed me that he thought that the
picture of CLAY SHAW was very familiar, and that he may have
met him in Houston, either at his apartment or at the Normandy
Club which the oil people of Texas frequent.
A memo in the GUY BANISTER file indicates that there
is information which reports that DICK WHITE, a high official
of Freeport Sulphur, and CLAY SHAW wer e flown to Cuba probably
taking off from the Harvey Canal area in a Freeport Sulphur
plane piloted by DAVE FERRIE. The purpose of this trip was
to set up import of Cuba's nickle ore to a Canadian front
Corporation which would in turn shipt to the Braithwaite nickle
plant. The plant was built by the U. S. Government at a cost
of about one million dollars.
The report is that the combine of Freeport Sulphur,
WHITE, and SHAW purchased the plant for a million dollars and
intended to get ore through & Canadian corporation they had
formed. There is also a report that GUY BANISTER hired FERRIE
and JACK MARTIN as investigators to check out the nickle plant
deal.

Western tip of Cuba. He says he does not remember exactly

SHAW (ssociation)V
Mr. Edward F. Wegmann, a lawyer in New Orleans, wrote
the Department of Justice on May 24, 1967, requesting a
public clarification of news stories concerning his client,
Mr. Clay Shaw. He referred to an impromptu press interview
of the Attorney General on March 2, 1967. This statement
is in response to Mr. Wegmann's request.
The FBI investigation in New Orleans following the
assassination of President Kennedy covered allegations by
Dean A. Andrews, Jr. which included a reference to "Clay
Bertrand." "Clay Bertrand" was not identified as a real
person. No evidence was found that-Clay Shaw was ever-called
"Clay Bertrand."
The Attorney General's comment on March 2 that Mr. Shaw
was involved in the investigation was based on a briefing
that morning. The Attorney General has since determined
that this was erroneous. Nothing arose indicating B. need to
investigate Mr. Shaw. As the Attorney General stated in the
interview, no connection between Mr. Shaw and the assassination
was found in the thorough investigation by the FBI.
The Department of Justice is convinced that Lee Harvey
Oswald alone assassinated President Kennedy.

nomination was announced that you would hope that
District Attorney Garrison would turn over any
information he has from his New Orleans probe.
Has he turned over any information on the arrest
of this latest gentleman?
Answer:
No, he has not. We haven't heard from District
Attorney Garrison and I feel that, as I said the
other day, if he really has any information or
evidence he has an obligation to bring it to
the Federal authorities who have been involved in
the overall investigation. He has not at this
date. I remain doubtful that he has anything.
Question: Has the Justice Department made any attempt to
contact District Attorney Garrison about this?
Answer:
No have not made any contact in view of his state-

Clay Shaw?
Answer:
He was involved in an FBI investigation in the New

Dear Mr. Bethell:
For what it is worth I am passing on a bit of repar ting
from a friend and admirer of Jim Garrison that I heard
tonight.
My friend is acquainted with a man, whose name I will
not include here, who told my friend that his mother
in Nee Orleans had been housekeeper to Clay Shaw. This
Vinginia Jones
lady is reported as terrified about the hazard to her from
what she knows. This includes knowing of Ferrie's
association with Shaw, knowledge of the sadistic stuff
(whips, etc) in the closet, and the mysterious death
or killing of somebody in the house, whether an associate
or not is not known. There had been no police investigation,
but a coroner had come and picked up the body. Two men
lived in the house of which the lady was housekeeper.
My friend is not sure of all the details, but this is the
general picture be got.
My friend is a businessman whose motives are saund. He
saw no reason to discount this report, but cannot vouch
for it beyond what he told me.
I was particulary pleased to read of Garrison's evidence
that Lee Oswald had informed the FBI of the assassination
plot. I have had an increasingly strong conviction that
this must have taken place from my reading of Oswald's
character. I do doubt that it was Lee Oswald that was
Ruby's bedmate. That sounds to me more like the Leon
Oswald who was an assassin.
With best wishes for your work,
Sincerely

STATEMENT OF:
JULES RICCO KIMBLE, w/m 24
RESIDING AT:
4839 Babylon Street
New Orleans, Louisiana
STATEMENT
I met DAVID FERRIE in early 1960 in a barroom named The Golden
Ferris:
Lantern in the French Quarter. I would see DAVE from time to time
in the same bar and I flew with him in his airplane on several
occasions.
One night while drinking in the Golden Lantern, DAVE introduced
me to CLAY SHAW. I was with CLAY SHAW and DAVE for several hours
that night which was in Late 1960 or early 1961. From that time on
I use to see CLAY SHAW on different occasions, you know drinking and
so forth. One day in late '61 or early '62 I received a phone call
5 2005
from DAVE and he asked me if I would like to take an overnight plane
trip with him. I said, all right, and then met FERRIE at the airport
Farri:
at which time I found out that CLAY SHAW was coming with us. At
this time I also found out that we were going to Canada to pick some-
one up. No other explanation was given. While on the trip, CLAY
SHAW sat in the back of the airplane reading books and slept. SHAW
also had a brown brief case with him. On the flight we stopped at
different places to gas up and stretch our legs. We stopped in
Nashville, Tennessee, Louisville, Kentucky, and Toranado, Canada.
Canada
Our final stop was in Montreal, Canada. FERRIE and myself stayed
(Montral)
in a hotel overnight. I believe it might have been the Hilton Air
or something like that. The hotel was located in Dovral which was
right outside of Montreal. CLAY SHAW disappeared after we landed and
I did not see him until the next morning which was about 8 o'clock
when we were ready to leave and come back to New Orleans. When SHAW
arrived at the plane, he had this Mexican or Cuban with him. This
Cuban:
guy was kind of heavy set, dark complexion, balding in the front, in
his early 30's or middle 30's. He sat in the back of the airplane
with SHAW and spoke only to SHAW in broken English. The airplane
that we used was a Cessna 172 which I believed belonged to a friend
of FERRIE's. We bought our gas with a Gulf credit card which FERRIE
had. When we got back to the Lakefront Airport, I got into my auto-
mobile and FERRIE and SHAW and the other guy got into another auto-
mobile and left.
About a month or two later I got another phone call from FERRIE
asking me if I wanted to make the return trip withhim to Canada,
but I told him no.
I have seen SHAW on different occasions in barrooms and at the
International Trade Mart up until the time that the District Attorney's
Show:
office started their investigation. I have heard other people intro-
duce CLAY SHAW as CLAY BERTRAND, but he has never been introduced to
-2-
me as CLAY BERTRAND.
I would also like to state that about two or three weeks after
DAVE FERRIE died I got a phone call from JACK HELMS who was formerly
with the Federal Government and later connected with the Klu Klux
"Dack
Klan asking me if I would take a ride with him by FERRIE's house to
Hallons"
pick up some papers. I said, yes, and a short while later he picked
me up at my house in a 1966 white chevrolet. We drove to FERRIE's
house and parked a little way down the block. JACK got out of the
Farm's
automobile with a flashlight and it appeared that he went around the
papers
back of the house or into the back yard. A short while later he came
back with a black briefcase and got into the automobile at which time
we drove off. Later I believe that the contents of this briefcase were
put into a safety deposit box in the Bank of Louisiana. Later I
believe that these papers were removed from the Bank of Louisiana and
put into a big black box in St. Bernard Parish which belonged to the
Klan. The fellow who kept this box is called oTTo. I do not know him
by any other name. I believe that these papers were then removed from
this black box, but I don't know where they were removed to. I did
manage to get some papers from this black box, but they pertained to
the Klan, and I turned these papers to CLEMENT HOOD, an FBI Agent I
was working for. I also had contact with CIA Agents. Their names
being STEINMEYER, who has since been transferred to Texas, and NAT
BROWN who is still in New Orleans and another guy by the name of RED,
last name unknown. I used to have meetings with the Agents in different
motel rooms where I would give them reports, pictures, recordings, etc.,
and would also receive my pay check or cash which I would sign a
voucher for and would also receive further instructions. They would
mail different things to me at my post office box number which is
701-30252, Lafayette Street Branch.
Several months ago RICK TOWNLEY with WDSU called me and told me
that he had information that I had tape recordings that someone wanted
to buy from me. I asked him how he had found out that I had them and
he said that didn't matter. He asked me if I would meet him some
place and I told him yes, to come over to my house. He said, no, he
wouldn't do that, that it would have to be some public place. So I
met him in the Kopper Kitchen on Tulane Avenue. After we talked for
Shindan
a while I went home and put on a suit and we went down to WDSU. When
(and
we got to WDSU, TOWNLEY called WALTER SHERIDAN in New York and I sat
Truely):
there while TOWNLEY talked to SHERIDAN. After TOWNLEY hund up he
said that SHERIDAN would be in town the following morning. TOWNLEY
asked me what I wanted for the tapes that I had, and I told him $500.
The next morning they gave me the $500 for the tapes and asked me if
I would do a film for WDSU consisting of what I know about the Cubans,
FERRIE, SHAW, etc. The tape that I sold them contained some informa-
tion about the Klan and other information about the papers that were
picked up at FERRIE's house. WALTER SHERIDAN is the one who gave me
the $500 for the tapes. This $500 was in a sealed envelope and was
all one hundred dollar bills. This was given to me in an office in
in WDSU which was located by their newsroom. We then went upstairs
and they locked the doors and placed a guard on the door and started
asking questions and taking pictures of me. I even remember that
there was a man from Sweden who was talking to the cameramen and they
asked him to leave. They asked me questions such as, Do I know CLAY
SHAW: Did I ever fly with CLAY SHAW and DAVID FERRIE: If I knew GENE
DAVIS, which I told them that I knew GENE DAVIS very well because he
was a personal friend of mine; If I knew GORDON NOVEL: If I ever
worked for the FBI, CIA, to which questions I said, yes of which
-3-
questions WALTER SHERIDAN said he had already known that I would
Shared
say yes to. T was then told to say that I didn't know anything
that would help Garrison in his investigation and this was also
put on film. 1 don't remember everything that he told me to say but
1 +
he did tell Be to go to Canada. He also said that he would edit and
cut the films after I was gone. He also said that they would get me
an attorney if I needed one. I told SHERIDAN And TOWNLEY not to re-
lease this film if they were going to cut any part of it. They said
that when I got to Canada they would call me and ask if it could
be released. They called my wife later and asked her if she would
let them release it and she also told them no. I understand that
this film has been cut and released.
MR. HOOD told me not to get involved with the District Attorney's
Office and if the District Attorney's Office tried to subpoena me,
that he would take care of it. MR. HOOD told me to give all the
cooperation necessary that WALTER SHERIDAN required. SHERIDAN and
TOWNLEY also told me not to talk with the District Attorney's Office'
and to call them right away so they could get an attorney for me.
That is about all I can remember at this time.

me WIGHT)
The man whose name we first thought to be WHITE
Saimha
apparently is WIGHT, Vice President of Freeport
Sulphur who reputedly made the flight. Currently
an effort is being made to locate WIGHT, who now
Burns
Y
lives in New York, by a contact of Mark Lane's.
Despite the fact that the original source of this
information was JULES RICCO KIMBLE a man with a
brung
record, this lead keeps growing stronger. From
the very outset it had been reported that the flight
had something to do with the import of nickle
meel
following the loss of the original import supply
from Cuba. Recent information developed on
WIGHT in a separate memo, indicates that he is now
on the Board of Directors, of the Freeport Nickl
Company, a subsidiary of Freeport Sulphur. (The
separate file on this is a rather detailed report
from Placquemine Parish and should be included in
the new SHAW file.
RICHARD ROLFE:
Has information from a contact of his in Clinton
Secamber
that SHAW is much better known in Clinton than it
*G
would appear. He is willing to bring this witness
down from Clinton and have him Nine up some new
leads for us in this regard.
9) TAXI CAB DRIVER:
Louis DiRose
Went out of his way one night to drive by FERRIE'S
house and told the passenger that he had taken SHAW
to that address on many occasions. I have more
details on this coming in and will dictate a separate
memo for the file on this taxi cab driver. I am
including it in this listing in order to insure
follow-up.
10) "BERTRAND LIBRARY CARD":
It will be recalled that some time ago library
Alford
employees while going through their records, came
across a library card made out to CLEM or CLAY
BERTRAND of the "International Trade Mart". We
discounted this lead as being negative because the
phone number turned out to have no meaning, however
this lead may deserve re-examination. It is entirely
possible that this library, as well as others, were
used as meeting places by SHAW and other individuals.
The signature appears to be in SHAW'S handwriting.
Furthermore, this card was not thrust upon us but
came to us through an official on the Library Board
who had been informed about its discovery by a
library employee. We may have here a situation
parallel to that in which SHAW signed his name CLAY
BERTRAND at the V.I.P. Room. In the latter instance
the strong possibility exists that he was there on
that occasion for an intelligence contact. I suggest
that we keep our minds open to the possibility of
the libraries having been used in the same way.
NOTE:
Wherever pre-existing memos or information
can be located concerning the above leads,
it is suggested that they be located and
placed in our new jackets for SHAW LEADS.

RE:
CLAY SHAW
During my recent interview with MR. JAMES J. PLAINE
of Houston, Texas, MR. PLAINE informed me that he had been
contacted by a MR. WHITE of Freeport Sulphur in regards to a
possible assassination plan for Fidel Castro.
MR. PLAINE said that MR. WHITE was only one of the
many oil and import people that he had occasion to talk to
from New Orleans regarding Castro.
MR. PLAINE also informed me that he thought that the
picture of CLAY SHAW was very familiar, and that he may have
met him in Houston, either at his apartment or at the Normandy
Club which the oil people of Texas frequent.
A memo in the GUY BANISTER file indicates that there
is information which reports that DICK WHITE a high official
of Freeport Sulphur, and CLAY SHAW wer e flown to Cuba probably
taking off from the Harvey Canal area in a Freeport Sulphur
plane piloted by DAVE FERRIE. The purpose of this trip was
to set up import of Cuba's nickle ore to Canadian front
corporation which would in turn ships to the Braithwaite nickle
plant. The plant was built by the U. S. Government at a cost
of about one million dollars.
The report is that the combine of Freeport Sulphur,
WHITE, and SHAW purchased the plant for a million dollars and
intended to get ore through a Canadian corporation they had
formed There is also a report that GUY BANISTER hired FERRIE
and JACK MARTIN as investigators to check out the nickle plant
deal.

(BANISTER file)
1. NEWMAN's initial interview on 11/23/63 resulted from the
discovery that some of OSWALD's literature bore the address
544 Camp Street stamped on it.
NEWMAN related that he had rented office space to "Cuban
revolutionaries" over a period of three or four months, but that
he had evicted them because they got behind on the rent. After he
had evicted these revolutionaries, he discovered that "an unknown
subject (white; male; 22/24; 5'9½"; 185 lbs.; fair complexion;
light brown hair; spoke with Spanish accent) had moved into the
space in the building vacated by the Cubans without notifying him.
NEWMAN only saw him once "and had no idea as to what his name
might be." NEWMAN gives no indication of the date of this
encounter (either month or year).
According to the same Secret Service report (CE 3119), one
JAMES ARTHUS ("apparently harmless protective Research subject of
file CC-2-32, 791") at 544 Camp Street who "stated that an unknown
man had attempted to rent an office at 544 Camp Street, but that he
discouraged him."
2. In his interview with the FBI, NEWMAN advised that he rented
the office space to the Cubans "approximately 8 or 9 months
ago, i.e. March or April 1963 He added that he did not
recollect seeing OSWALD in or around the building, nor had he
rented any office space to the FPCC, or anyone by the name of
OSWALD. Someone called him, in September 1963, however, wanting
to rent office space, but NEWMAN did not see this individual, as
he put him in touch with the aforementioned JAMES ARTHUS the
janitor.
NEWMAN added that "9 or 10 months ago" (Jan. or Feb. 1963) a
tall, thin man, aged about 38, with dark hair, did contact him and
paid one month's rent for an office, which he was going to use to
teach Spanish.
This is presumably not the same man NEWMAN had mentioned two
days earlier to the Secret Service, whom NEWMAN does not mention
in this interview.
On this statement connect 87 Dn "Prints" an
3. When interviewed by the New Orleans Police Department on
November 27, 1963, NEWMAN said he had rented office space to
the "Cuban Revolutionary Society" "about 15 months ago", (about
August 1962), which group was run by "young Monteleone" of the
Monteleone Hotel. GUY BANISTER was, according to NEWMAN, "Well
acquainted with this organization.' NEWMAN then adds a similar
story to his initial version to the Secret Service, recounting
the intrusion of a man who evidently had a key to the office; he
is described here as "white male, blond hair, and red complexion."
4. In his second interview with the Secret Service on 12/2/63,
NEWMAN specifies that he rented office space to the Cuban
Revolutionary Council from October 1961 through February 1962
In April 1963 he was paid $100 by CARLOS GRIMADER, accountant for
the C.R.C. in partial payment of the rent. When the C.R.C.
departed, they left a lot of literature in the office, which he
turned over to the Salvation Army "or some such organization".
About two weeks after the Cubans moved, Mr. NEWMAN relates the
young man with the Spanish accent appeared. This would have been
in or about March 1962, which is a time when OSWALD was in Russia.
NEWMAN adds in this interview that JACK MARTIN introduced both
SERGIO ARCACHA and CARLOS QUIROGA to him, and that QUIROGA "appeared
to have a short wave radio transmitter. He also said at this time
that no office space in 544 Camp Street has been rented since
September 1962, but again mentions the incident (which he had
earlier told the FBI, but not the Secret Service) of the man who
paid a month in advance to teach Spanish. This was "four or five
months ago", i.e., June or July 1963.
5. George Eckert's interview pertains to the subject of GUY
BANISTER'S files and does not reveal any new information about
people who rented from NEWMAN, except to say that NEWMAN cannot
remember the names of the people who were his tenants in 1963.
DISPOSITION:
In my view NEWMAN should be interviewed again and asked more
specifically about the two still unidentified males who attempted
to rent from him. JAMES ARTHUS should be interviewed with regard
to a third unidentified man who visited 544 Camp Street in
September 1963, whom NEWMAN did not see.

922 Dumaine Street
New Orleans, Louisiana
INTERROGATED
BY:
OFFICERS KENT SIMMS and CLIENCY NAVARRE
IN RE:
DR. MARY SHERMAN and
SPECIAL INVESTIGATION
Dr. SHERMAN camein the shop I would say
occasionally, not frequently, but I can look up on the ledger
and see. She never made any extensive or large purchases. I
was never in her apartment. If she ever came to the shop with
anyone, it was possibly with someone who lived in the same
apartment complex in which she lived. Probably the entire time
she lived at 3101 St. Charles Avenue she came in the shop, and
she was in the shop the late afternoon before she was murdered.
I do not know any of her friends.
I don't recall my first meeting with CLAY SHAW.
However, it was probably in '58 or '59, The original interest in
meeting was through business at the International Trade Mart
and the possibility of purchasing and restoring Vieux Carre
property myself. I am a designer of interiors and interior
furnishings and I am also Director of the Oriental Gallery at
the 20th Century Shop. One other person that I do know through
the International Trade Mart and CLAY SHAW, is J. B. DAUENHAUER.
But only through the Trade Mart and through CLAY do I know J. B.
I moved to 4919 Magazine Street in February of
1961. I don't recall, or don't know the date that OSWALD moved
into 4907 Magazine Street I never had occasion to speak to him
(OSWALD) but passed him on several occasions going to Rex Laundry
and Drv-cleaners. I don't recall ever seeing him untidy or with
a beard. Then on December 15th of 1964, I moved back to the
Quarter.
The Sunday before Mardi Gras of 1965, CLAY
attended a buffet party that afternoon in my apartment at 619
Gov. Nichols. After moving back to the Quarter, I did see CLAY
passing on the street, or once in a while at the Coffee Shop
Restaurant on St. Peter next to Pat O'Brien's. I can't recall
the number of times that I have. Not that frequently. But there
have been times I have been in CLAY's apartment for drinks. It
was at 1313 or 1331 Dauphine, I am not sure. The first few
times it was just for drinks. The gathering that would have been
-1-
7
termed a party, if I recall correctly, was in October of '66 on a
Sunday afternoon. As I say, there was a gentleman there that was
Spanish, or Cuban, or Latin. He could even have been Mexican as
far as that goes. He was about 53 years, 6'2", almost, but not
as tall as CLAY. He weighed about 175 lbs, ruddy complexion, and
I think he did have a mustache. If I recall correctly, he had
a rather full head of hair with some grey, which he parted. I am
pretty sure his hair was parted. He had no scars. He had a
Spanish accent. There was also a younger person that had painted
CLAY's apartment and he was to do some work for this gentleman.
He was doing painting for these people and he was supposedly an
artist or writer. CLAY's apartment had just been completed being
painted. This young man had painted the apartment for CLAY and
was to do some work for the older man. This younger person was
in his early 20's. There were some 8 to 12 people at this party
but I can't recall their namas,
Q.
Did you know any of these people personally?
A.
I knew several of them. Just a "Hello" acquain-
tance, not personally. There were some there
whose names I knew, but I can't recall.
Q.
Did the name SERGIO ring a bell?
A.
It could have been this person I am describing at
this party, but I am not positive.
Q.
I show you a picture of SERGIO ARCACHA SMITH,
could this be the fellow you described as a
Spanish-type individual at the party?
A.
No, because he is much more lean than the person
in this picture, and older. In other words, his
face was a lean as yours (SIMMS), and if I recall
correctly, the hair was longer and more full than
that. CLAY knew a lot of Spanish and Mexican
people. It didn't seem unusual for them to be
there. He knew them from the Quarter, from the
Trade Mart and from Mexico.
After the party, I went to another party around
7:00 o'clock. I went to CLAY's around 5:00 and left around 7:00.
I think this was in October. Being at two parties the same even-
ing, it is hard to remember who was where. (Shown picture of
Spanish and other people, and referring to AL BEAUBOUEF) This
could have been the person who painted CLAY's apartment and was
to do some work for the Spanish person.
First-hand, I know nothing of CLAY's personal or
sexual life, but maybe he has made some remark of someone he has
met; that he thought the person was very attractive or something
like that. I can't recall him saying he ever went to bed with
some person, but he did mention to me his liking of men. It is
relatively common knowledge among friends. I know nothing first-
hand of his private life, but he did say something about liking
men. He never mentioned anyone specifically.
-2-
Let me see that picture again. The one I saw
before. This person I know. JERRY WINTERS, is that his name?
Q.
Are you a homosexual?
A.
I would rather be termed bi-sexual. I have had
sex with both sexes. I was married for 5½ years;
I had 2 children; I have had sex with women before
I married and since then.
Q.
I show you a picture of a single person dressed
in a sailor outfit, can you identify this picture?
A.
It appears to be a person I know as JERRY WINTERS
who worked for Nunez Employment Agency about 3
years ago, I think. He lives, or did live on
Josephine Street or somewhere up in that area.
I know nothing about him personally.
Q.
Do you ever recall CLAY SHAW having a room-mate?
A
I think many years ago a JEFF BITTERSON lived with
him. I think this was many years ago, I am not
sure. I would think - I think he is "gay".
Q.
Do you know what type of work JEFF BITTERSON

I met DAVID FERRIE in early 1960 in a barroom named The Golden
Ferri
Lantern in the French Quarter. I would see DAVE from time to time
in the same bar and I flew with him in his airplane on several
occasions.
One night while drinking in the Golden Lantern, DAVE introduced
me to CLAY SHAW. I was with CLAY SHAW and DAVE for several hours
that night which was in Late 1960 or early 1961. From that time on
I use to see CLAY SHAW on different occasions, you know drinking and
so forth. One day in late '61 or early '62 I received a phone call
5 Dans
from DAVE and he asked me if I would like to take an overnight plane
+
trip with him. I said, all right, and then met FERRIE at the airport
Farri:
at which time I found out that CLAY SHAW was coming with us. At
this time I also found out that we were going to Canada to pick some-
one up. No other explanation was given. While on the trip, CLAY
SHAW sat in the back of the airplane reading books and slept. SHAW
also had a brown brief case with him. On the flight we stopped at
different places to gas up and stretch our legs. We stopped in
Nashville, Tennessee, Louisville, Kentucky, and Toranado, Canada.
Canada
Our final stop was in Montreal, Canada. FERRIE and myself stayed
(Montral)
in a hotel overnight. I believe it might have been the Hilton Air
or something like that. The hotel was located in Dovral which was
right outside of Montreal. CLAY SHAW disappeared after we landed and
I did not see him until the next morning which was about 8 o'clock
when we were ready to leave and come back to New Orleans. When SHAW
arrived at the plane, he had this Mexican or Cuban with him. This
Cuban:
guy was kind of heavy set, dark complexion, balding in the front, in
his early 30's or middle 30's. He sat in the back of the airplane
with SHAW and spoke only to SHAW in broken English. The airplane
that we used was a Cessna 172 which I believed belonged to a friend
of FERRIE's. We bought our gas with a Gulf credit card which FERRIE
had. When we got back to the Lakefront Airport, I got into my auto-
mobile and FERRIE and SHAW and the other guy got into another auto-
mobile and left.
About a month or two later I got another phone call from FERRIE
asking me if I wanted to make the return trip withhim to Canada,
but I told him no.
I have seen SHAW on different occasions in barrooms and at the
International Trade Mart up until the time that the District Attorney's
Show:
office started their investigation. I have heard other people intro-
duce CLAY SHAW as CLAY BERTRAND, but he has never been introduced to
-
-2-
me as CLAY BERTRAND.
I would also like to state that about two or three weeks after
DAVE FERRIE died I got a phone call from JACK HELMS who was formerly
"fack
with the Federal Government and later connected with the Klu Klux
Klan asking me if I would take a ride with him by FERRIE's house to
Kim
pick up some papers. I said, yes, and a short while later he picked
me up at my house in a 1966 white chevrolet. We drove to FERRIE's
house and parked a little way down the block. JACK got out of the
Ferri's
automobile with a flashlight and it appeared that he went around the
papers
back of the house or into the back yard. A short while later he came
back with a black briefcase and got into the automobile at which time
we drove off. Later I believe that the contents of this briefcase were
put into a safety deposit box in the Bank of Louisiana. Later I
believe that these papers were removed from the Bank of Louisiana and
put into a big black box in St. Bernard Parish which belonged to the
Klan. The fellow who kept this box is called OTTO. I do not know him
by any other name. I believe that these papers were then removed from
this black box, but I don't know where they were removed to. I did
manage to get some papers from this black box, but they pertained to
the Klan, and I turned these papers to CLEMENT HOOD, an FBI Agent I
was working for. I also had contact with CIA Agents. Their names
being STEINMEYER, who has since been transferred to Texas, and NAT
BROWN who is still in New Orleans and another guy by the name of RED,
last name unknown. I used to have meetings with the Agents in different
motel rooms where I would give them reports, pictures, recordings, etc.,
and would also receive my pay check or cash which I would sign a
voucher for and would also receive further instructions. They would
mail different things to me at my post office box number which is
701-30252, Lafayette Street Branch.
Several months ago RICK TOWNLEY with WDSU called me and told me
that he had information that I had tape recordings that someone wanted
to buy from me. I asked him how he had found out that I had them and
he said that didn't matter. He asked me if I would meet him some
place and I told him yes, to come over to my house. He said, no, he
wouldn't do that, that it would have to be some public place. So I
met him in the Kopper Kitchen on Tulane Avenue. After we talked for
a while I went home and put on a suit and we went down to WDSU. When
and
we got to WDSU, TOWNLEY called WALTER SHERIDAN in New York and I sat
Townday):
there while TOWNLEY talked to SHERIDAN. After TOWNLEY hund up he
said that SHERIDAN would be in town the following morning. TOWNLEY
asked me what I wanted for the tapes that I had, and I told him $500.
The next morning they gave me the $500 for the tapes and asked me if
I would do a film for WDSU consisting of what I know about the Cubans,
FERRIE, SHAW, etc. The tape that I sold them contained some informa-
tion about the Klan and other information about the papers that were
picked up at FERRIE's house. WALTER SHERIDAN is the one who gave me
the $500 for the tapes. This $500 was in a sealed envelope and was
all one hundred dollar bills. This was given to me in an office in
in WDSU which was located by their newsroom. We then went upstairs
and they locked the doors and placed a guard on the door and started
asking questions and taking pictures of me. I even remember that
there was a man from Sweden who was talking to the cameramen and they
asked him to leave. They asked me questions such as, Do I know CLAY
SHAW: Did I ever fly with CLAY SHAW and DAVID FERRIE: If I knew GENE
DAVIS, which I told them that I knew GENE DAVIS very well because he
was a personal friend of mine; If I knew GORDON NOVEL: If I ever
worked for the FBI, CIA, to which questions I said, yes of which
-3-
questions WATTER SHERIDAN said he had already known that I would
fored
say yes to. I was then told to say that I didn't know anything
that would help Garrison in his investigation and this was also
put on film. I don't remember everything that he told me to say but
he did tell 1002 to go to Canada. Пе also said that he would edit and
cut the films after I was gone. He also said that they would get me
an attorney if I needed one. I told SHERIDAN And TOWNLEY not to re-
lease this film if they were going to cut any part of it. They said
that when I got to Canada they would call me and ask if it could
be released. They called my wife later and asked her if she would
let them release it and she also told them no. I understand that
this film has been cut and released.
MR. HOOD told me not to get involved with the District Attorney's
Office and if the District Attorney's Office tried to subpoena me,
that he would take care of it. MR. HOOD told me to give all the
cooperation necessary that WALTER SHERIDAN required. SHERIDAN and
TOWNLEY also told me not to talk with the District Attorney's Office'
and to call them right away so they could get an attorney for me.
That is about all I can remember at this time.

Higgenbotham knows Joe Newbrough of course, but insists he did not
know Bill Dalzell. When he brought the Lauchli material, etc., he
did not go into too much detail, probably assuming (correctly) that
I wouldn't understand too much, although he trusts me as much as he
does any woman. Whether much of this is significant or not, I
can't say. But Higgenbotham is NOT playing games; he is in too much
of a bind and he is willing to cooperate in any way. This is one
person TOMMY BAUMLER will go to any lengths for, (regardless of the
consequences) and the first person Tommy has begged me to help in
any way you can". Higgenbotham was a pallbearer at Tommy's Daddy's
funeral and Tommy says "When I was a crippled kid without a friend
in the world, George came and played Chess with me and was my only
friend."
Higgenbotham has lived at the same Lowerline Street address for about
fifteen years. Is a gun collector, has survived many political
changes, and apparently his sexual proclivities tend to young males.
He believes the Pot found belonged to a young man with whom he is
no longer friendly. His attorney is Gill, Jr. (mentioned previously).
He felt that much of his information would not be considered, be-
cause in his opinion Lou Davis was and is a key factor in the sub
merged activities in this area, and because of
would not follow them to a conclusion. He
feels there was organization locally in respect to a conspiracy
than appears so far on the surface. Particularly in respect to the
acquisition of supplies, training organization and leadership. He
says it's logical because these things were available. It certainly
wouldn't hurt to talk with him.
BARBARA GLANCEY REID

Well, to make a long story short, I was in the same outfit as Oswald
was in the "Fair Play for Cuba Committee" only apparently he wasn't
in it so deeply and in & different part of the country and, at the
same time; now bear with me now because this is a very difficult ex-
planation to a certain extent.
My wife gives me a bit of a rough time when I discuss this situation.
I think I'll bust her in the eye to be truthful about it. Anyway the
FBI contacted me when I came back and I blew the whistle to them for
a year while I was still an officer in that outfit in Chicago "Fair
Play for Cuba Committee" I appeared in a hearing with the rest of them.
Now, I was never a communist, right winger or left winger or anything
you see. I was merely interested in the revolution which I hated a
little bit. I could fly a little or push an airplane around a little.
Now, Can I make a more important point, after my time was up there,
which was a year, when a hearing was to be held, I was told by the
FBI that they wanted more information from me and that was it, they
didn't explain or anything, and it was sort of a let down. I was
going to whistle on my former friends. I thought I was convinced by
them that I was doing a proper job and they kicked me down so, I
blew out of there and came to California and that was in 1961, the
day they were holding the hearing. They didn't want me around appa-
rently, so here in 1962, I joined up with a bunch of anti-Castro people,
Cubans, Americans and others. And then I found my way into circles
of the political right, you see, who were very effective in trying to
do away with Castro. At least they were talking about it. That's
all they did was talk about it. Believe me, I bought the right wing
line of thing and I am not against them right now, as a matter of fact,
except that I found out a lot of things that horrified me; I peddled
their line for them, because I thought in turn that they were going
to help us get rid of Castro. They were anti-communist, anti-Castro
and all that stuff and I hated Castro, because what the communist
were doing embarrassed me, made a fool out of me and wasted all my
efforts, so I was going to get even. So this right wing thing was the
way to do it and I swallowed it. I thought it was a greatidea; the
Americanism, patriotism and all that stuff. As time went on and as
I look back I didn't know it at that time, it was always the anti-
cunity bit: (he's a dirty communist, and this and that) and I figured
it was just a bunch of hog wash and I'll go along with the people just
to get action against Castro. And the individuals were donating
heavily, you see.
Well, the Birch Society was talking against Castro. In other words,
"Cuba free in 1963" and everything. The individuals were actually
doing something about it by donating money to these different orga-
nizations preferably to Hall, and Howard got it and the other people
got it in New Orleans, Dallas, Florida and so forth, the money finally
got to them and the medicine that came from the doctors.
Q.
When you say Hall, you mean Lorenz D. Hall?
It is... a nickname by the way, his name is Lorenzo. And Lawrence
Howard is Larry Howard. I am sure Weisberg knows this, the rest
know this too that Larry Howard is a Mexican American. Lorenzo
Hall is a Cuban American. The number three man was a guy by the name
Aof Guy Gabaldin, a Mexican American, the one time big hero they made
a movie about called "Hell to Eternity", a former marine, if you recall
it.
Q.
I do vaguely.
They play it every year on Channel 9.
Well, anyway, the point is, these people, I find later were in it
long before Weisberg and all the rest of those people came along
writing books and it bore on my conscience. I informed the proper
authorities about my involvements so I wouldn't become pinned down
-2-
when they finally arrested them for associating with assassinators
of President Kennedy.
Now, I immediately thought, and I told old lady Oswald so, "My gosh
woman, your son is doing the same job as I was." That was my impression.
You don't get wrong impressions when you are in.a mess like that. And
later on the evidence came out that he was this and that. So I said well
apparently those people were the ones that did it and then I thought
they didn't want Kennedy dead, but the right wing was always trying to
kill him. Gebaldin said he was going to kill him in 1962, when Kennedy
visited Mexico City. He had an office in Mexico City, by the way, run-
ning an anti-communist fron called "Drive against Communist Aggression".
&
This was Gabaldin?
Gabaldin, Howard, Hall, me and all the rest. He was financed by some
big business men here of whom I have the list of names and whom I became
very friendly with. Now, I don't know if you are getting this proper
or not, but you can ask me questions. He had an office there, he had
some friends in Mexican Federal Police. The FBI of Mexico, who he
tried to get to help with this Kennedy deal down there. To shoot
Kennedy in Mexico City when he was on parade there. And I thought, well,
the guy was crazy, he is not talking sense and he didn't really mean
that he was going to kill Kennedy.
These people, Oswald and whoever they blame for it and even if he was
involved or not which I doubt that he was in a way, at least I think he
was finking on him just like I was on those people up there. They
hated Kennedy, you get it, no "Fair Play for Cuba Committee" say they
hated him, but I heard the right wing say they hated him. "Them dirty
should be dead. G---D---him and all that sort of thing". When
I was on the other side, I believed what they believed in. I didn't
believe what the left wing believed. I finally got to believe what
they believed. I couldn't follow it, it didn't make sense. But I
understood that they called him a communist. Actually I was against
communism, but I wasn't long with them, just to do away with Castro and
to aid the people that were going against Castro. Okay, now they had
this office in Mexico City, this Federal police officer, Captain Juan A.
Aranda practically had him assassinated, Gabaldin assassinated for try-
ing to present the problem of killing Kennedy there. He ran him out of
Mexico City.
Q.
He knew what he was up to, in other words?
Sure, he told the, they had been friends for a long time, this anti-
communist stuff. Then Gabaldin tried to sell remembering Gabaldin,
Howard and Hall was one group with a bunch of other people
Q.
Of course, I remember.
They all associated. I knew this and I thought it was great. Anyways,
he couldn't swallow the whole trap that Kennedy was a communist. Being
Mexican and he wouldn't believe it. He just couldn't see it, so they
rounded them all up and threw them out of Mexico City. That was it,
they took his furniture that he had in his office and seized him. And
no one knows about those things. If Oswald went to Mexico City, he went
there (now here is another shot) Gabaldin and I went one day to John
Rousselot of the Birch Society and Sam Moreno in their old office down
the street from there, the present one) to get $10,000. You might think
I am some kind of a damn fool, but I am not. I want to see these dirty
double crossing finks get what they got coming, because they continue
to be a threat to me, what we believe is true, and obviously it is as
true as the daylight now showing. I dont' care to prove it and all that
garbage where you've got to prove stuff, that doesn't mean anyting to me.
Q.
But you want the information to get out?
That's right. I've written all of this down and I am looking at my
briefcase that contains every name and address and everything I ever did.
&
Do you remember that portion that Mr. Weisberg spoke and he talks about
the visit to Sodio Audeo's apartment?
Right in my organization, sure. Certainly I remember that. When I saw
that in October 1964, I said, My God, they have really did it.
-3-
They have really reached out, when Howard and Hall's name appeared.
&
What about William Seymour?
Billy Seymour. It looked like Oswald And I would say that come
no one?---How come no one has ever gotten the whereabouts of Gabaldin?
You know the FBI Now let me tell you first one thing before the
$10,000 bit is finished here.
Senator Hoover---Now, you know what I know about the Bureau is this,
and you can't blame him, No, I mean you can blame hi, but, for this
point National Security was always drummed into our minds --And any
time I open my mouth, they talk about National Security---please don't
say anything to me. Now, I agree with National Security and it is
immoral sometime, but, for National Security reasons alone he has done
what he has done.
&
He put the lid on this thing, in other words?
He put the lid on, he aimed to keep it on there at all costs. He has to,
because, these people, their representatives, of the people I am dis-
cussing now, are so powerful in the United States, that they can knock
the President off, if they want, if he doesn't tow the line.
The right wing said this about the communists. But it isn't so, it is
the right wing that is really that way.
Mr. Hunt and a lot of the big shots that I agreed with, they can do
these things and they will. If things don't go right. Now, I am sur-
prised, the right used to cry, we don't have any money, we don't have any
power, we don't have this, why, they organized the Birch Society and got
it financed. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not an enemy of theirs. I
read their book right now, and their material and I agree with a great
deal of it, but nevertheless, it doesn't make this fellow any less guilty
of associating with Gabaldin and that bunch of creeps. The ten grand
Gabaldin said he didn't get when I waited outside the office, he went
inside and talked to Rousellot. He said he didn't get it, but they
talked forfour hours. The ten grand was supposed to go to Mexico City
operation, whatever that means, I know when I was invited down there,
Gabaldin and I were both flying airplanes, he invited me to co-pilot for
him. I never went down, I was afraid to go to Mexico because of the
mess I had been in with Castro and he got more effective agents.
Q.
In Mexico?
Yes, the ten grand apparently he didn't get. But I think he did get it.
And John Rousselot was supposed to kick back whatever benefits to the
Birch Society. That was Gabaldin's work. It didn't ring a bell with me
then. Later on, a personal friend of mine was working in a little
Savings and Loan place and it turns out that this very poor fellow, Mr.
Rousselot, whom I know quite well, and as I have said many times, he was
in cahoots. To many people, I have said this, but I never went into an
explanation of the whole thing. He made a loan of $19 or 24,000 on the
first of 1963. So you can't say he didn't have the ten grand to do it
with. I've got a copy of the loan. When I saw that, it even added up
more so. I am not one given to fear, but I am just telling you that is
the way things are. And when I see all these guys like Mr. Weisberg and
Mark Lane. I have talked to him on the phone, he kind of figured out I
was some kind of crackpot. But they are aiming at a thing that I have
known for years. And if they really are wanting to do something, let
them do this. Let them say these things. Let me get up and say these
things and I'll say them. We'll bring this thing to a head.
I'll tell you why exactly Mr. Hoover is covering up from my point of view
is having been an undercover fink for them for a year is for National
Security reasons. I agree with him, but he is still covering up. And
that's it. And many another Ching has happened in the interim. They're
all written down here.
&
I don't know if you recall, I just wanted to ask if there was a
Leopoldo.
That could have been his underground name of Lorenzo.
Q.
That came to Sodio Audeo's apartment too?
I think it was Lorenzo. Leopoldo was working with an underground name.
Howard wanted me to run an office here in 1963, before Kennedy was
assassinated, to inform the press, make press releases and collect money,
which I didn't do because I was doing other things along right wing lines;
to run an office here, to get press releases under way, just as they were
about to happen against Castro.
Howard is a warrior. Hall was political person that made speeches at
Birch Society meetings open meetings and closed meetings and was very well
accepted by them. He made a lot of money. I found out, I said to Gabal-
din one day, "what is he doing with all this dough? Is he really putting
it into the anti-Castro operations. He said "every penny of it goes in
there, I guarantee you", and I took his word for it at that time, because
he was a sort of the leader of things.
And another thing, Gabaldin, when he came back from Mexico, he ran this
drive against communist aggression which was financed from here. I
have all the literature on it and remember all the details. He made
speeches all around Arizona, Canada, Detroit. He was all around and
therefore, helped build up the network we had. Everything is ABC
&
Was there such a network in Dallas too?
Well sure it is in Dallas. It was part of our---I am associated with
juror members here now, they're inactive by the way. If there is some-
thing going on at least they are keeping it quiet. They probably sus-
pect me of being at fink, I suppose. But I really think, because we were
such good friends, awhile back, that there is really nothing popping
just now. They work and naturally take advantage of the situation.
Right now it is not profitable or possible.
&
Where is Gabaldin now?
Oh, he's hiding out in Mexico. See, all those guys took trips quietly.
You know when the FBI can't find the, they are well hidden. They couldn't
find Howard or Hall for a long time.
I saw Gabaldin about six months ago, over in E1 Monte, a Mexican
restaurant here, he and one of his former backers, who was a big wheel
in Freedom Forum, and his name was Ray Fleischman. Now for Ray in whose
opinion, doctors and so forth, we $10,000 worth of medicine for anti-
Castro operation in the Mexico City deal.
Q.
Was there any link between group and Ruby with his activities in Cuba?
I don't even like to talk about that guy because, I can't stand anyone,
I feel sorry for him and the way he died and so forth, but I knew he
and I knew he would just like Lane and Mr. Weisberg knew. He was a
dirty rat that was in the scheme somewhere. I don't even like to talk
about a back shooter in other words. I got no use for him. He's cheated
everyone and helped make the big lie.
Obviously, if that woman said he was involved, he probably was involved.
I'd discuss it with her if I were researching the situation.
Q.
Which woman are you referring to?
I think Mr. Lane or Mr. Weisberg wrote about some woman who put the
finger on Ruby as being the payoff man.
You see, we were all in Cuba at different times.
Q.
You were there too?
Well, sure, just for a short time, after the war.
-5-
This is some of the government there, some of the big wheels, Any
of them that went there were either for or against. They had some
deal going with the government, see. They were involved in other
words, they didn't just go there to look around, because the peasant
armies are marching and people are building and things are really
going on down there. So you just don't go there to look around, it
is not just a good tourist spot. It's a revolutionary activity, so
Ruby was there, and that convinces me he was involved.
&
Did you know anyone there by the name of Praskins or Pratkins, or
anyone by the name of McWilly?
I knew those names. They're in the same report that I am in.
Oh, no, no, no. I just heard the names. I don't know them.
Q.
They don't ring a bell.
Theydo ring a bell, but not with my activities; I don't know them
at all. I just read about them and I don't want to bring them in
with the reality of what I know.
Q. Certainly. Well, it has been very interesting, in any case, and
I don't know when Harold will be out here again, but I know that
he would enjoy meeting you when he does come and I am sure that can
be arranged. In any case, remember that I called and that wasn't
your home phone was it. Am I talking to you from there?
That is my business and home both. It's a little printing business.
Q.
Well, I'll be in touch with you in any case. I am very grateful for
your call and that is all I can say.
Well, these guys are batting their brains out. I don't know what their
angles are. They may be very honest upstanding non-political non-
religious people that are really trying to do their job, and I'd like
to think that was the case. It doesn't matter what their real motives
are, the point is, they are fishing around and finding out a whole lot
of things and I don't want to be embroiled in the middle of it when
they fish my name out of the hat. If you know what I mean.
I'd rather blow the whistle now and get it over with, If someone
used it, then I am in the clear.
&
You speak about people knowing how to fly airplanes, you know it was
speculated that a plane did take off or was scheduled to take off at
Redbury Field at Dallas the afternoon of the assassination.
Oh, I never heard that.
Q.
Yes, that is in one of the articles by one of the authors of the case.
Schebody felt that a plane really did take off for Mexico or one of
the South American countries.
I know Gabaldi flew a lot of miles back and forth. Look, here is
a very simple solution. Gabaldi naturally wouldn't be involved directly,
he might even be sitting there in an airplane, I don't know, I don't
care about that. But where was Billy Seymour that day, to whom I
think, you know, run upstairs and put uncle on the spot, I really think
that. He was just a dirty little rat like some of these people who are
trying to make a name for themselves. These big movies heros.
Q.
Did these people have expertees, firearms and weapons?
Well, yes. I learned stuff myself and they had people who wrote manuals
by hand and passed them around to the Greeks that wer training on
Nonamekey. That's name of t'.e key. That's "no name". There was also
a place near New Orleans. They had expertees there. There was &
local guy training them there, a Canadian, and Howard and several
others. What they wanted from us was medicine. If you've got a
wound, they want to throw a powder on it. What kind of powder it is
I forget now. And aspirin and stuff like that in case they were
wounded you see.
-6-
So they knew all the fundamentals of killing, wounding. They knew
all the fundamentals in a raid. I would say Howard was an expert
because he sure taught an awful lot of men in the army --Castro.
I don't give a hoot about any of those people anymore. I think
they've used me up. I don't want to be around when the ax falls
and at the same time I wan't to see it fall.
&
You want to get your information out while you have the chance?
Right. And these birds which I did definitely imagine was the case,
were involved, whether Oswald was or not doesn't matter. I still
think he was doing the same job I was doing. Before, I even read
a word of it, I knew it.
Q.
That Oswald was down here?
brought
I'm the one/his old lady on the "Joe Pine Show". Did you see that?
&
No, I didn't, I heard that she was here though.
That was in 1965, I appeared down there and I told briefly what I
was involved in and I said you know I got the impression your son
was doing the same thing I was"; they shut me up and I though the
Federal Bureau wouldn't ever speak to me again, because they told me
to shut my trap, see,
Q.
Tell me can I reach you at this number? When is the best time to call?
Or do you want to leave it as just where you can reach me?
Well, it would be sensible just to have it that way, wouldn't it?
&
Allright, whatever you like, but this is a good time to call me,
early in the morning and I will transfer some of this to Harold, if
you like, at least I will give him a report on the facts as they are.
-7-
&
What do you think of General Walker? I mean you say you know Walker,
Do you think it is true that he might be involved? First of all, you
know that Oswald was to have taken the shot at General Walker?
A.
I don't believe it. I think Howard took a shot.
Q.
Oh, you think Howard took a shot?
Certainly, he was in Dallas with all those other crums. I don't
believe Oswald did it. I don't care, you see. I don't want to try to
prove anything. I am just trying to tell you who did what, and why.
&
Well Oswald supposedly had someone with him? There were perhaps two
people involved in it.
Like Billy Seymour and Howard who was always hauling his big Mexican
carcass around trying to pull some kind of & caper. Oswald was a fink,
just like I was. A fink for the Feds. Let's face it. We did things
that were completely opposed. We committed treason for the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. You know what I mean. The things we blame
the committee for doing, we did, we led them, we organized them and we
would do things that would put us in such a light, such a position and
we would even go take a shot at someone, if we had to, if that was part
of getting us to infiltrate some organization. There it is, it is
horrible, but true. And then it was very likely that Oswald did it in-
tending to infiltrate never intending to hit, you never know, it is
something that bears investigation, if possible The very cover up of
the situation, obliterations here and there of things, indicates some
more things involved which I am glad to see people investigate it.
Q.
Do you think it is conceivable when Oswald went to Mexico City that he
was endeavoring to sea Gabaldin or was Gabaldin there at that time?
Exactly what I am thinking. Look at Billy Seymour--And another thing
Gabaldin told me that hit me pretty hard and I hated his guts for it,
not hate him, I wouldn't burn his house down, but I hated him because
he said later on before Kennedy died, "I know a guy that looks just like
you." Now here's me. A picture of me. I'm going around wearing a
Texas hat, I've got a rifle and I go out and shoot all the time and
Gabaldin knows this. I'm a chewing tobacco, Texas hat wearing gunman,
you get it. He's got this picture of me like I am some kind of a big
fat fool. He's telling me, I know a guy looks exactly like you and I
said "poor b and so forth. But he told me this several times and
that gave me the impression he was trying to tell me something. Then
later on I realized By God it could have been another one of these
Billy Seymour deals trying to get me with my own reputation as an NRA
member and a shooter and get me involved in all this deal. So this isn't
from what somebody else investigated, this is what I realized later on,
and it worried me plenty.
Any ay it is a long miserable situation and with both people it was hate
drove them ever forward and I suppose with a little money too. But more
and more actual hate than money.
a.
I think that is obvious.
I think I had better hit the trail as I am holding you up there.
&
I appreciate it in any case and we will be in touch then.
A.
Good show.
a.
Okay, thank you so much. Bye Bye now.

RE:
INTERVIEW WITH:
CLARA FLOURNOY "BOOTSIE" GAY UNDER ITEM #2,
AL CLARK INTERVIEW.
In answer to a subpoena, Bootsie Gay came into
the office on this date at about 2:45 p.m. She stated to
Soule and Mr. James Alcock that she resides at 528 Dumaine
Street, and is employed at Max Hills Painting Suppliers
located at 629 St. Peter Street - telephone: 523-9302.
She stated that just prior to the assassination
she was having G. WRAY GILL do some legal work of a civil
nature for her. She made several trips to GILL'S office
and observed DAVID FERRIE who had an office at GILL'S office,
and she understood that FERRIE was an investigator for GILL.
The day following the John Kennedy assassination,
a Saturday, she (MRS. GAY), went to GILL'S office and
observed that two female employees were cleaning out FERRIE'S
desk. She saw a chart or a sketch, and what caught her eye
was the fact that this chart had ELM written on what appeared
to be a street. There was also a building and on the street
was a square with letters "VIP" written in this square.
MRS. GAY stated that she remarked to the
receptionist that this should be turned over to the F.B.I.
The receptionist then picked it off the desk and threw it
in the trash can stating it was nothing.
MRS. GAY stated that she then took the document
from the trash can stating that she would give it to the F.B. I.
The receptionist then grabbed the document from Mrs. Gay's
hand and again threw it in the trash can.
MRS. GAY seemed to be about 60 years, reasonably
intelligent, slightly nervous and very cooperative. She
appears to be the type of individual that likes to see justice
prevail.

DISTRICT. ATTORNEY
FROM:
WILLIAM GURVICH
SPECIAL AIDE
SUBJECT:
SERGIO ARCACHA-SMITH- 25 FEBRUARY 1967 -
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. shoot".
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.
-1-
I asked ARCACHA why he needed police protection
which was the reason the detectives gave for being with him. I
asked if he thought he needed police protection from the District
Attorney of New Orleans and he made no comment. I then asked
the detectives if ARCACHA needed protection from anyone and if
he had been threatened or feared he would be harmed. I then
said the District Attorney of New Orleans would assist in funish-
ing such protection if it were needed. There was no comment from
anyone.
Detective Burnley then stated they had told ARCACHA
he would be arrested if we had a warrant. For this we expressed
our gratitude. We explained we had no warrant and had not come
to Dallas to arrest ARCACHA but were here simply to interview
him adding that should it be necessary we would get a warrant.
At this point Detective Rodgers sarcastically asked, "And who
do you think would serve that warrant?" I then asked Rodgers,
"Are you saying you wouldn't?" Rodgers then repeated his
question and I repeated mine. Detective Burnley then interrupted
as if recognizing Rodgers' mistake.
ARCACHA was again informed no one but his attorney
could be present. He said he could arrange for this on Monday
(three days hence) but could not remember his own attorney's name
Detective Rodgers then said the attorney's name was Alexander.
Alcock asked ARCACHA if this was his attorney and Burnley and
Rodgers both spoke up and admitted Alexander was the First
Assistant District Attorney of Dallas County. Alcock then said
we could not consent to this. Alcock and I explained this was
a confidential matter and it should be understood we had no
intention of revealing any part of this to anyone and trusted
they, as police officers, should understand this better than
anyone.
Alcock and I then walked out of the conference room
and ARCACHA, Burndey and Rodgers followed us into the hallway.
The detectives then said the press room was close by and asked
that we return to the conference room. We returned there only
to ask that our feelings not be construed as rudeness and then
Alcock and I departed.

Possible questions for T. E. BECKHAM
I
Where and when did he meet CRISMAN? Who introduced them?
Give the names of all persons in whose company he has ever seen
CRISMAN. After meeting CRISMAN, in what places, when and under
what circumstances did he subsequently encounter CRISMAN?
(Itemize and give full details). If travel was involved, what
were the arrangements and who made them?
Did CRISMAN ever use a credit card in his presence? (What
kind? For example, did CRISMAN possess an Air Travel Card? Other
credit cards? Does he recall the user's name in the left hand
corner?) Has he ever been to hotels, restaurants, or stores with
CRISMAN? Where and when? Did CRISMAN seem known at any of these
places? Did CRISMAN, to his knowledge, ever use any other names?
How did CRISMAN usually dress when he saw him? What was
his customary mode of travel between cities? How did he custom-
arily move about within a city? (Taxi-cabs? Car? If car, who
was the owner or the alleged owner?) What was CRISMAN's evident
economic level of living? (Food, lodging, kind of wrist watch, et
cetera) What did CRISMAN give as his source of income? (BECKHAM,
as a minister for a non-existent church, would have to have known
that this parallel role of CRISMAN'S would produce no income).
- 1 -
II.
Did BECKHAM ever see CRISMAN in the presence of GUY BANISTER
or CLAY SHAW? (Much less likely, but possible: DAVID FERRIE?
KERRY THORNLEY? LAYTON MERTENS? LAVERNE "LARRY" CRAFARD? LEE
OSWALD? CUBANS? REV. RAYMOND BROSHEARS? BOB LAVENDER? WILLIAM
DALZELL? BRUCE RAY CARLIN? GEORGE de MOHRENSHILDT?) Where and
when? Under what circumstances? Who introduced who to whom?
Who appeared to be the dominant (in the sense of inference of
command) personality? Did BECKHAM ever meet or see any of these
persons separately? Was anyone else present on any such occasion?
(Repeat same questions with regard to unknown personalities
encountered with CRISMAN. Their detailed descriptions). In any
and all such instances, what were the subjects of conversation?
What were CRISMAN's stated - or demonstrated - sexual
preferences? Any indications of homosexuality (as in the cases
of FERRIE or SHAW)? Any indications of sadism (as in the case
of SHAW) ? Did BECKHAM ever have any sexual relations with
CRISMAN? With SHAW? With FERRIE? With any others whose names
have been mentioned above? With anyone apparently connected with
CRISMAN?
What contacts did you have with CRISMAN in New Orleans in
1962 or 1963? Under what circumstances? Were you given any
assignments or duties as a result? Did you receive any payments
as a result? From whom? Did you have occasion to use CRISMAN
outside of New Orleans at any time in 1963? Where? Under what
circumstances? Receive any assignments or duties to perform?
(Follow up with relevant questions depending upon his answers).

in January, 1963). Describe the places and the dates. For what
purpose did you leave on each occasion? How did you travel?

connection? Any payments to you? By whom? Why? What other
persons did you see at that location? How often? What activity
were they engaged in? Who appeared to be in charge? (If BANISTER,
who appeared to you to be in charge of BANISTER?) Have you ever
had occasion to see any of these individuals outside of that
building? Under what circumstances?

Did you have a mail box key to the Post Office Building
across from BANISTER'S office? Why? Did any other persons,
who hung around his office, have such keys? Why? Have you ever
had occasion to to the Mancuso Restaurant in that building? How
frequently? With whom have you gone there? Who else did you
ever have occasion to see there? How frequently?
What seemed to the BUY BANISTER's main activity? What
appeared to you to be the source or sources of his income? What
appeared to be the sources of income of other persons frequenting
his office? Did they ever indicate the sources to you? Did any
of them indicate who, other than BANISTER, they were working for?
Did you ever have occasion to see any of these individuals
receive money or envelopes apparently containing money?
Did you ever have occasion to see men in green Army-type
fatigues in that area? Americans or Cubans? Why did they seem
to be coming there? Did anyone seem to be in charge of them?
Do you know where their training camps were? Did you ever have

Dallas, Texas? When? What for? Do you know any persons who
were in Dallas in November, 1963? Did you ever hear the names
of any persons who were in Dallas in November, 1963?
On November 22, 1963, do you know where GUY BANISTER was?
(Note: apparently in New Orleans, but not at his office all day).
Do you know who was with him? Do you know why he didn't come to
the office that day? (Or did you later have occasion to hear
where he was, what he did and with whom?) With regard to the
individuals who hung around BANISTER'S office - or anyone whose
name I have mentioned to you - do you know of any unusual
activity on their part that day? Did you hear of any unusual
activity on their part?
Describe where you spent November 22, 1963, and describe -
in detail - what you did all day? Did you have any occasion to
go to a hotel or motel? (If so, for what purpose? Who else did
you see there? What were they doing?)
V.
After November 22, 1963, when did you next see CRISMAN?
Where? For what purpose? (Same question re BANISTER, SHAW,
FERRIE - or any other persons with whom he acknowledged a
relationship). Was the assassination discussed in any way?
(If so, what was said - and by whom?)
Describe, in full detail, subsequent occasions in which you
saw CRISMAN in 1963. In 1964. From 1964 to 1968.
- 6 -
Did you ever have occasion to visit CRISMAN in the State
of Washington? When and for what purpose? How often? Who
else was present? How long did you visit? Did you ever see him
in Oregon? (same follow up questions) In Nebraska (same
questions)? In any other States?

CRAFARD to you?
VI.
When did you decide to move to Nebraska? Whose idea was
it? Did you meet with - or talk to - CRISMAN before moving there?
Who made the arrangements for you to go to Omaha? Who paid for
your transportation there? When you went to Nebraska, what
State had you been in before that? And what State before that?
What was the purpose in your going to Omaha and settling
there? Were you given instructions and an assignment? Through
whom did you meet your officer contact at Offutt Air Force Base
there? What other contacts did you have at Affutt AFB? How
frequently did you meet your officer contact? What was the
usual purpose of your meeting? What did you usually talk about?
What "business" were you supposedly engaged with him? Whose
idea was it? How long did it last? Where was it located? Who
was the landlord? What was the rent? Who paid it? Did the
"business" show a profit?
Is it not a fact that your "church" and "business" actually
were merely covers? What was your real function in Omaha? For
whom were you working? (or: for whom did you think you were
working?) What was the real source of your income? How were
you paid? How frequently? Describe in full detail the nature
of your relationship with any and all persons at Offut Air Base.
Was it a SAC base? (If affirmative, how did you know that?)
- 8 -
Going back to FRED CRISMAN, of Washington, you are aware -
are you not - that he was not a real minister of a real church?
What do you consider to have been the actual nature of his
activity? His real job, his real function? What do you think
was the real source of his income?
By the time you had spent several years in Omaha - and
certainly by 1968 you must have acquired your own ideas as
to what CRISMAN's real activity was. What did you conclude that
it was? Who did you believe him to be working for? Who did
you consider to be his real boss? What did you think he was
attempting to accomplish while using the cover of "minister"?
VII.
In 1968, when you were subpoenaed by District Attorney
Garrison's Grand Jury in New Orleans, did you call CRISMAN? (If
so, why? What did he tell you to do?) Why did you then leave
Nebraska and go over into Iowa in an effort to avoid extradition
to New Orleans?
- 9 -
When you arrived in New Orleans in 1968, as the result of
your extradition to testify, you were driving a 1968 car. What
was your financial condition then? Where was the money coming
from? What had you been doing to earn it? Who paid for the car?
During that time, while you were in New Orleans, you told a man
by the name of DAVID LEWIS that you were working for the C.I.A.
What did you mean by that?
After you testified before the New Orleans Grand Jury, did
you contact anyone and discuss with them the questions asked
and your answers? After that Grand Jury appearance, when did
you next talk to CRISMAN? Why? About what? After that Grand
Jury appearance, were you questioned about it by representatives
of any federal agency? (What agency? What did they ask you?)
Prior to the assassination on November 22, 1963, were you
questioned by any federal agency? (If so, what was the subject
of this questioning?) After the assassination, were you
questioned by any federal agency? (Same follow up).

(details). By visit (who visited whom? Place. Reason. Subject
of discussion. Details?)
Have you received any assignments or things to do from
him since then? (Or from anyone else?) Any remuneration?
(How much?) How frequently? What for?)
What was the first "church" for which you became a
"minister"? (Whose idea? Who told you how to get your creden-
tials? What was the reason?) What subsequent "churches" did you
purport to become a "minister" or"bishop" for? (Same follow up
questions). What "church" was FERRIE a "priest" for? What
"church" did CRISMAN represent? What "church" does he represent
now? What was their apparent reason for these phoney religious
convictions?
- 11 -
Why is this non-existent "church" business so recurrent with
you and persons with whom you have associated? Is it not a fact
that the non-existent "church" and the title of "minister" or
"bishop" serves as a cover for other activities? What activities
were these? (With regard to you? With regard to others? Go
into indicated follow-up questions).
Have you ever heard of the Church of the Abundant Life
located in Oak Park (Dallas) in 1963? (Scene of Officers'
Tippit's murder). Have you ever heard of the REVEREND O.B.
GRAHAM of Dallas? Have you ever heard anyone discuss the use of
an evangelical church building, in Dallas, in connection with the
assassination? Are you aware of the use of any of these "odd
churches"? - existent or non-existent - used anywhere in connection
with the assassination? Have you ever heard anyone discuss these
"odd churches" with regard to the assassination? With regard to
any clandestine or undercover activity? (If answer is affirmative,
give names and full details)
Who introduced you to Sergio Arcacha? When and where did you
meet him? Did you ever perform any assignments or duties or jobs
for him? (When? Where? Under what circumstances?) Did you ever
receive any payment for this? Have you ever seen or met Arcacha
outside of New Orleans? Where? On what occasion?

mention the other? (Under what circumstances?) Do you know whether
CRISMAN knew JACK RUBY? OFFICER TIPPIT? (If so, follow up for
details).
Have you ever seen CRISMAN supply money to anyone? Under
what circumstances? For what purpose? Did CRISMAN fly to New
Orleans, to your knowledge, very often? (If yes, how often?
Approximate number of times each year: 1962. 1963. 1964 through
1968. Since 1968).
Have you ever had CRISMAN'S home phone number? What city
was it in? Why were you given it? How often have you used it?
Do you know his present number? When did you last know his home
phone number? Do you know whether or not ARCACHA knew CLASMAN'S
home phone number? CLAY SHAW ? BANISTER? Have you ever heard
that any of these men ever called CRISMAN long distance? Under
what circumstances? Have you ever heard of anyone else calling
CRISMAN long distance? Under what circ unstances?
;
Did you ever have occasion to deliver money to or for

ever have occasion to deliver money to or for anyone else? In
any instance, how much was involved? Who assigned you to this
task? Have you ever held any sums of money for any of the
individuals I have names? For any Cuban organizations? For any
organizations whatever? (When and under what circumstances?)
Since 1962, how often would you estimate you have made
commercial airline flights? In 1962. 1963? From 1963 to
1968? Since 1968? What cities (and in what years) have you
travled to by air? Who paid the air fare? What was the purpose
of each flight? (If his answer is affirmative but to the effect
that there were too many flights to remember, shift to question
concerning the amount and source of his income during those years.
Develop any disproportionate ratio of air travel to yearly income).
Do you know whether or not CRISMAN is or was a pilot? Did he
ever describe his military service to you? Has he ever indicated
to you that - at any time since 1962 - he has been in government
service? How did he indicate that? (Details).
-14-
How well would you say that CRISMAN and SHAW knew each other?
When and where did you ever see them together? Under what (total)
circumstances? Has either one ever mentioned the other to you?
(Same questions re: GUY BANISTER. DAVID FERRIE. SERGIO
ARCACHA. KERRY THORNLEY ).
(In the following question, the first and the fourth names
are fictional to avoid Beckham memorizing the two interior names:)
Have you ever heard CRISMAN mention any of the following names:
William Walter Jordan? Charles B. Cabel1 (General) ? George
Lyman Paine (father of Michael Payne) ? Harold M. Jackson?
Have you ever seen any of these men? Have you ever heard anyone
else mention them?
Regardless of Beckham's early answer re whether he had
known KERRY THORNLEY, show him a variety of THORNLEY photographs
and ask him whether he has ever seen him. Recall when and where.
(Press for details as to where and when seen).
Repeat this photograph exhibition with regard to FRED
CRISMAN, DAVID FERRIE and CLAY SHAW. (Press for details as to
where and when seen).
(If subject answers all of the above questions, it should
open up additional avenues for questioning. But this list should
serve for openers).

RE:
AL CLARK
*
On Sunday, December 3, 1967, I spoke to
AL CLARK at Dixieland Hall, and asked him about his state-
ment to HAROLD WEISBERG that he had seen DEAN ANDREWS
talking to LEE HARVEY OSWALD.
CLARK stated that when he saw OSWALD on
television after the assassination his immediate reaction
was that he had seen him before. After thinking about it
he came to the conclusion that he had seen OSWALD with
ANDREWS. ANDREWS, CLARK recollects, was in the habit of
bringing his friends into the back door of Dixieland Hall,
and he believes he saw ANDREWS and OSWALD sitting together
in the patio right behind Dixieland Hall.
CLARK said he did not mention this before
because he thought it was common knowledge. that ANDREWS
knew OSWALD, and he didn't think it was important. ANDREWS
had always told him that he knew OSWALD, and therefore he
attached no significance to it.
CLARK did not see OSWALD on television in
New Orleans when he passed out leaflets in front of the
Trade Mart.

MEMORANDUM
November 29, 1967
TO:
JIM GARRISON, District Attorney
FROM:
ANDREW SCIAMBRA, Assistant D. A.
RE:
LEE OSWALD
Upon further conversation with JS, it was
learned that while JS was employed at Dixie's Bar of Music
when it was the biggest and most prominent "gay" bar in the
City, he had occasion to meet LEE HARVEY OSWALD who used to
hang around Dixie's and seemed to want to associate with
the gay guys. JS remembers him due to the fact that many
times he had to run him out of Dixie's because he was under
age and prohibited by law from going into bars. JS says
that he cannot say what OSWALD's relationship or intentions
were in regards to the gay people who were there. He could
not say that he had ever seen him associate with any particular
people.
It should be noted that CLAY SHAW was a frequent
visitor to Dixie's Bar of Music, and therefore the possibility
exists that they could have met at this time. In the same
vein, SHAW was a frequent visitor to Pat O'Brien's which at
one time had a side bar which catered almost exclusively to
gay people. That particular bar has since been remodeled
and the gay people have gone on to greener pastures.

AMERICAN EACLE
PUBLISHING Co.
P. BOX 150
DALLAS 21. TEXAS
January 1, 1964
Since the assessination of President Kennedy on the 22nd of November
last, No have been flooded with letters from *11 parts of the
country (and of the world, too) asking for information. It is
evident from these letters that a great deal of the news avail-
able here in Dallas has not been made available elsowhere.
Even in these days of a controlled national nown media system, it is
difficult to muzzle the local reporter in his own local news-
paper. Although #0 cannot, of course, guarantee the complete
accuracy of the clippings assembled in this book, it undoubt-
edly will give the reader a better coverage of the incidents
involved, anower a fee questions, and pose same additional
ones. A Cow, perhaps, that the Warren Commission will not
noo fit to answer.
We trust that this convenient book will prove of value to you.

GEORGE stated that he had sailed from Le Havre,\nFrance, on the \"SS Manhattan\" under a Belgian quota number\nand had arrived at New York City on May 13, 1938. On\narriving he had lived for a while with his brother, DIMITRI,\nat 950 Park Avenue, and during this approximate one to two\nmonth visit he visited English classes at the University of\nColumbia in order to improve his speech. (He stated that he\ncould read and write Russian, Polish, French, Spanish,\nGerman, and English.)\nGEORGE continued that he had been dissuaded from\nemployment as a newspaper reporter by reporters he had met\nfrom the \"New York Times\", who told him of the arduous work\nand also of the difficulty of getting printed anything\nthat they really wanted to write, and further, they persuaded\nhim that his accent would be a detriment to such work.\nShortly thereafter, GEORGE stated, that through his brother,\nDIMITRI, he met MARGARET WILLIAMS from New Orleans, Louisiana,\nand he was invited to visit them during the summer of 1939\nto observe the oil business since the WILLIAMS family was\nengaged in this business.

He referred to an impromptu press interview\nof the Attorney General on March 2, 1967. This statement\nis in response to Mr. Wegmann's request.\nThe FBI investigation in New Orleans following the\nassassination of President Kennedy covered allegations by\nDean A. Andrews, Jr. which included a reference to \"Clay\nBertrand.\" \"Clay Bertrand\" was not identified as a real\nperson. No evidence was found that-Clay Shaw was ever-called\n\"Clay Bertrand.\"\nThe Attorney General's comment on March 2 that Mr. Shaw\nwas involved in the investigation was based on a briefing\nthat morning. The Attorney General has since determined\nthat this was erroneous. Nothing arose indicating B. need to\ninvestigate Mr. Shaw. As the Attorney General stated in the\ninterview, no connection between Mr. Shaw and the assassination\nwas found in the thorough investigation by the FBI.\nThe Department of Justice is convinced that Lee Harvey\nOswald alone assassinated President Kennedy.\nXERO\nXERO\nCOPY\nYERO\nPress intervisw with Ramsey Clark March 2, 1967.\nQuestion: General Clark, you said two days ago after your\nnomination was announced that you would hope that\nDistrict Attorney Garrison would turn over any\ninformation he has from his New Orleans probe.\nHas he turned over any information on the arrest\nof this latest gentleman?\nAnswer:\nNo, he has not.

I would see DAVE from time to time\nin the same bar and I flew with him in his airplane on several\noccasions.\nOne night while drinking in the Golden Lantern, DAVE introduced\nme to CLAY SHAW. I was with CLAY SHAW and DAVE for several hours\nthat night which was in Late 1960 or early 1961. From that time on\nI use to see CLAY SHAW on different occasions, you know drinking and\nso forth. One day in late '61 or early '62 I received a phone call\n5 2005\nfrom DAVE and he asked me if I would like to take an overnight plane\ntrip with him. I said, all right, and then met FERRIE at the airport\nFarri:\nat which time I found out that CLAY SHAW was coming with us. At\nthis time I also found out that we were going to Canada to pick some-\none up. No other explanation was given. While on the trip, CLAY\nSHAW sat in the back of the airplane reading books and slept. SHAW\nalso had a brown brief case with him. On the flight we stopped at\ndifferent places to gas up and stretch our legs. We stopped in\nNashville, Tennessee, Louisville, Kentucky, and Toranado, Canada.\nCanada\nOur final stop was in Montreal, Canada. FERRIE and myself stayed\n(Montral)\nin a hotel overnight. I believe it might have been the Hilton Air\nor something like that. The hotel was located in Dovral which was\nright outside of Montreal. CLAY SHAW disappeared after we landed and\nI did not see him until the next morning which was about 8 o'clock\nwhen we were ready to leave and come back to New Orleans. When SHAW\narrived at the plane, he had this Mexican or Cuban with him. This\nCuban:\nguy was kind of heavy set, dark complexion, balding in the front, in\nhis early 30's or middle 30's. He sat in the back of the airplane\nwith SHAW and spoke only to SHAW in broken English. The airplane\nthat we used was a Cessna 172 which I believed belonged to a friend\nof FERRIE's. We bought our gas with a Gulf credit card which FERRIE\nhad. When we got back to the Lakefront Airport, I got into my auto-\nmobile and FERRIE and SHAW and the other guy got into another auto-\nmobile and left.\nAbout a month or two later I got another phone call from FERRIE\nasking me if I wanted to make the return trip withhim to Canada,\nbut I told him no.\nI have seen SHAW on different occasions in barrooms and at the\nInternational Trade Mart up until the time that the District Attorney's\nShow:\noffice started their investigation. I have heard other people intro-\nduce CLAY SHAW as CLAY BERTRAND, but he has never been introduced to\n-2-\nme as CLAY BERTRAND.\nI would also like to state that about two or three weeks after\nDAVE FERRIE died I got a phone call from JACK HELMS who was formerly\nwith the Federal Government and later connected with the Klu Klux\n\"Dack\nKlan asking me if I would take a ride with him by FERRIE's house to\nHallons\"\npick up some papers. I said, yes, and a short while later he picked\nme up at my house in a 1966 white chevrolet. We drove to FERRIE's\nhouse and parked a little way down the block. JACK got out of the\nFarm's\nautomobile with a flashlight and it appeared that he went around the\npapers\nback of the house or into the back yard. A short while later he came\nback with a black briefcase and got into the automobile at which time\nwe drove off. Later I believe that the contents of this briefcase were\nput into a safety deposit box in the Bank of Louisiana. Later I\nbelieve that these papers were removed from the Bank of Louisiana and\nput into a big black box in St. Bernard Parish which belonged to the\nKlan. The fellow who kept this box is called oTTo. I do not know him\nby any other name. I believe that these papers were then removed from\nthis black box, but I don't know where they were removed to. I did\nmanage to get some papers from this black box, but they pertained to\nthe Klan, and I turned these papers to CLEMENT HOOD, an FBI Agent I\nwas working for. I also had contact with CIA Agents. Their names\nbeing STEINMEYER, who has since been transferred to Texas, and NAT\nBROWN who is still in New Orleans and another guy by the name of RED,\nlast name unknown. I used to have meetings with the Agents in different\nmotel rooms where I would give them reports, pictures, recordings, etc.,\nand would also receive my pay check or cash which I would sign a\nvoucher for and would also receive further instructions. They would\nmail different things to me at my post office box number which is\n701-30252, Lafayette Street Branch.\nSeveral months ago RICK TOWNLEY with WDSU called me and told me\nthat he had information that I had tape recordings that someone wanted\nto buy from me. I asked him how he had found out that I had them and\nhe said that didn't matter. He asked me if I would meet him some\nplace and I told him yes, to come over to my house. He said, no, he\nwouldn't do that, that it would have to be some public place. So I\nmet him in the Kopper Kitchen on Tulane Avenue. After we talked for\nShindan\na while I went home and put on a suit and we went down to WDSU. When\n(and\nwe got to WDSU, TOWNLEY called WALTER SHERIDAN in New York and I sat\nTruely):\nthere while TOWNLEY talked to SHERIDAN. After TOWNLEY hund up he\nsaid that SHERIDAN would be in town the following morning. TOWNLEY\nasked me what I wanted for the tapes that I had, and I told him $500.\nThe next morning they gave me the $500 for the tapes and asked me if\nI would do a film for WDSU consisting of what I know about the Cubans,\nFERRIE, SHAW, etc. The tape that I sold them contained some informa-\ntion about the Klan and other information about the papers that were\npicked up at FERRIE's house. WALTER SHERIDAN is the one who gave me\nthe $500 for the tapes. This $500 was in a sealed envelope and was\nall one hundred dollar bills. This was given to me in an office in\nin WDSU which was located by their newsroom. We then went upstairs\nand they locked the doors and placed a guard on the door and started\nasking questions and taking pictures of me. I even remember that\nthere was a man from Sweden who was talking to the cameramen and they\nasked him to leave. They asked me questions such as, Do I know CLAY\nSHAW: Did I ever fly with CLAY SHAW and DAVID FERRIE: If I knew GENE\nDAVIS, which I told them that I knew GENE DAVIS very well because he\nwas a personal friend of mine; If I knew GORDON NOVEL: If I ever\nworked for the FBI, CIA, to which questions I said, yes of which\n-3-\nquestions WALTER SHERIDAN said he had already known that I would\nShared\nsay yes to. T was then told to say that I didn't know anything\nthat would help Garrison in his investigation and this was also\nput on film. 1 don't remember everything that he told me to say but\n1 +\nhe did tell Be to go to Canada. He also said that he would edit and\ncut the films after I was gone. He also said that they would get me\nan attorney if I needed one. I told SHERIDAN And TOWNLEY not to re-\nlease this film if they were going to cut any part of it. They said\nthat when I got to Canada they would call me and ask if it could\nbe released. They called my wife later and asked her if she would\nlet them release it and she also told them no. I understand that\nthis film has been cut and released.\nMR. HOOD told me not to get involved with the District Attorney's\nOffice and if the District Attorney's Office tried to subpoena me,\nthat he would take care of it. MR. HOOD told me to give all the\ncooperation necessary that WALTER SHERIDAN required. SHERIDAN and\nTOWNLEY also told me not to talk with the District Attorney's Office'\nand to call them right away so they could get an attorney for me.\nThat is about all I can remember at this time.\nS/Jules Ricco Kimble\nJULES RICCO KIMBLE\n7\nRs SHAW (+PERRIE, CANADA\n5\nASSOCIATIONS, atc)\nSHAW : (as \"BERTRAND\n7) SHAW'S FLIGHT TO CANADA WITH FERRIE:\n4 1977 Open Leads file\nDay\nme WIGHT)\nThe man whose name we first thought to be WHITE\nSaimha\napparently is WIGHT, Vice President of Freeport\nSulphur who reputedly made the flight. Currently\nan effort is being made to locate WIGHT, who now\nBurns\nY\nlives in New York, by a contact of Mark Lane's.\nDespite the fact that the original source of this\ninformation was JULES RICCO KIMBLE a man with a\nbrung\nrecord, this lead keeps growing stronger. From\nthe very outset it had been reported that the flight\nhad something to do with the import of nickle\nmeel\nfollowing the loss of the original import supply\nfrom Cuba. Recent information developed on\nWIGHT in a separate memo, indicates that he is now\non the Board of Directors, of the Freeport Nickl\nCompany, a subsidiary of Freeport Sulphur. (The\nseparate file on this is a rather detailed report\nfrom Placquemine Parish and should be included in\nthe new SHAW file.\nRICHARD ROLFE:\nHas information from a contact of his in Clinton\nSecamber\nthat SHAW is much better known in Clinton than it\n*G\nwould appear.

We\ndiscounted this lead as being negative because the\nphone number turned out to have no meaning, however\nthis lead may deserve re-examination. It is entirely\npossible that this library, as well as others, were\nused as meeting places by SHAW and other individuals.\nThe signature appears to be in SHAW'S handwriting.\nFurthermore, this card was not thrust upon us but\ncame to us through an official on the Library Board\nwho had been informed about its discovery by a\nlibrary employee. We may have here a situation\nparallel to that in which SHAW signed his name CLAY\nBERTRAND at the V.I.P. Room. In the latter instance\nthe strong possibility exists that he was there on\nthat occasion for an intelligence contact. I suggest\nthat we keep our minds open to the possibility of\nthe libraries having been used in the same way.\nNOTE:\nWherever pre-existing memos or information\ncan be located concerning the above leads,\nit is suggested that they be located and\nplaced in our new jackets for SHAW LEADS.\nJIM GARRISON\n-4-\nRe: SHAW + Canada\nMEMORANDUM\nR.: SHAW + Cuba\nRe: SHAW-+ + FERRIE\nOctober 9, 1968\nTO:\nJIM GARRISON, District Attorney\nFROM:\nANDREW J.

NEWMAN's initial interview on 11/23/63 resulted from the\ndiscovery that some of OSWALD's literature bore the address\n544 Camp Street stamped on it.\nNEWMAN related that he had rented office space to \"Cuban\nrevolutionaries\" over a period of three or four months, but that\nhe had evicted them because they got behind on the rent. After he\nhad evicted these revolutionaries, he discovered that \"an unknown\nsubject (white; male; 22/24; 5'9½\"; 185 lbs.; fair complexion;\nlight brown hair; spoke with Spanish accent) had moved into the\nspace in the building vacated by the Cubans without notifying him.\nNEWMAN only saw him once \"and had no idea as to what his name\nmight be.\" NEWMAN gives no indication of the date of this\nencounter (either month or year).\nAccording to the same Secret Service report (CE 3119), one\nJAMES ARTHUS (\"apparently harmless protective Research subject of\nfile CC-2-32, 791\") at 544 Camp Street who \"stated that an unknown\nman had attempted to rent an office at 544 Camp Street, but that he\ndiscouraged him.\"\n2. In his interview with the FBI, NEWMAN advised that he rented\nthe office space to the Cubans \"approximately 8 or 9 months\nago, i.e. March or April 1963 He added that he did not\nrecollect seeing OSWALD in or around the building, nor had he\nrented any office space to the FPCC, or anyone by the name of\nOSWALD. Someone called him, in September 1963, however, wanting\nto rent office space, but NEWMAN did not see this individual, as\nhe put him in touch with the aforementioned JAMES ARTHUS the\njanitor.\nNEWMAN added that \"9 or 10 months ago\" (Jan. or Feb. 1963) a\ntall, thin man, aged about 38, with dark hair, did contact him and\npaid one month's rent for an office, which he was going to use to\nteach Spanish.\nThis is presumably not the same man NEWMAN had mentioned two\ndays earlier to the Secret Service, whom NEWMAN does not mention\nin this interview.\nOn this statement connect 87 Dn \"Prints\" an\n3. When interviewed by the New Orleans Police Department on\nNovember 27, 1963, NEWMAN said he had rented office space to\nthe \"Cuban Revolutionary Society\" \"about 15 months ago\", (about\nAugust 1962), which group was run by \"young Monteleone\" of the\nMonteleone Hotel. GUY BANISTER was, according to NEWMAN, \"Well\nacquainted with this organization.' NEWMAN then adds a similar\nstory to his initial version to the Secret Service, recounting\nthe intrusion of a man who evidently had a key to the office; he\nis described here as \"white male, blond hair, and red complexion.\"\n4. In his second interview with the Secret Service on 12/2/63,\nNEWMAN specifies that he rented office space to the Cuban\nRevolutionary Council from October 1961 through February 1962\nIn April 1963 he was paid $100 by CARLOS GRIMADER, accountant for\nthe C.R.C. in partial payment of the rent. When the C.R.C.\ndeparted, they left a lot of literature in the office, which he\nturned over to the Salvation Army \"or some such organization\".\nAbout two weeks after the Cubans moved, Mr. NEWMAN relates the\nyoung man with the Spanish accent appeared. This would have been\nin or about March 1962, which is a time when OSWALD was in Russia.\nNEWMAN adds in this interview that JACK MARTIN introduced both\nSERGIO ARCACHA and CARLOS QUIROGA to him, and that QUIROGA \"appeared\nto have a short wave radio transmitter. He also said at this time\nthat no office space in 544 Camp Street has been rented since\nSeptember 1962, but again mentions the incident (which he had\nearlier told the FBI, but not the Secret Service) of the man who\npaid a month in advance to teach Spanish. This was \"four or five\nmonths ago\", i.e., June or July 1963.\n5. George Eckert's interview pertains to the subject of GUY\nBANISTER'S files and does not reveal any new information about\npeople who rented from NEWMAN, except to say that NEWMAN cannot\nremember the names of the people who were his tenants in 1963.\nDISPOSITION:\nIn my view NEWMAN should be interviewed again and asked more\nspecifically about the two still unidentified males who attempted\nto rent from him. JAMES ARTHUS should be interviewed with regard\nto a third unidentified man who visited 544 Camp Street in\nSeptember 1963, whom NEWMAN did not see.\nRechard\nme picor\nto I've\nperman. ft\nOFFICE OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY\nRe: GENTRY:\n(1) Fruit of SHAW'S living *\nSTATE OF LOUISIANA\n4907 Magageri from 1981 to\nPARISH OF ORLEANS\n1964.\n(2) LAYTON MARTENS and 4900\nbent Magazine Shut\nApril 18, 1967\nSTATEMENT OF:\nDAVID F. GENTRY\n922 Dumaine Street\nNew Orleans, Louisiana\nINTERROGATED\nBY:\nOFFICERS KENT SIMMS and CLIENCY NAVARRE\nIN RE:\nDR. MARY SHERMAN and\nSPECIAL INVESTIGATION\nDr. SHERMAN camein the shop I would say\noccasionally, not frequently, but I can look up on the ledger\nand see. She never made any extensive or large purchases. I\nwas never in her apartment. If she ever came to the shop with\nanyone, it was possibly with someone who lived in the same\napartment complex in which she lived. Probably the entire time\nshe lived at 3101 St. Charles Avenue she came in the shop, and\nshe was in the shop the late afternoon before she was murdered.\nI do not know any of her friends.\nI don't recall my first meeting with CLAY SHAW.\nHowever, it was probably in '58 or '59, The original interest in\nmeeting was through business at the International Trade Mart\nand the possibility of purchasing and restoring Vieux Carre\nproperty myself. I am a designer of interiors and interior\nfurnishings and I am also Director of the Oriental Gallery at\nthe 20th Century Shop. One other person that I do know through\nthe International Trade Mart and CLAY SHAW, is J. B. DAUENHAUER.\nBut only through the Trade Mart and through CLAY do I know J. B.\nI moved to 4919 Magazine Street in February of\n1961. I don't recall, or don't know the date that OSWALD moved\ninto 4907 Magazine Street I never had occasion to speak to him\n(OSWALD) but passed him on several occasions going to Rex Laundry\nand Drv-cleaners. I don't recall ever seeing him untidy or with\na beard. Then on December 15th of 1964, I moved back to the\nQuarter.\nThe Sunday before Mardi Gras of 1965, CLAY\nattended a buffet party that afternoon in my apartment at 619\nGov. Nichols. After moving back to the Quarter, I did see CLAY\npassing on the street, or once in a while at the Coffee Shop\nRestaurant on St. Peter next to Pat O'Brien's. I can't recall\nthe number of times that I have. Not that frequently. But there\nhave been times I have been in CLAY's apartment for drinks. It\nwas at 1313 or 1331 Dauphine, I am not sure. The first few\ntimes it was just for drinks. The gathering that would have been\n-1-\n7\ntermed a party, if I recall correctly, was in October of '66 on a\nSunday afternoon. As I say, there was a gentleman there that was\nSpanish, or Cuban, or Latin. He could even have been Mexican as\nfar as that goes. He was about 53 years, 6'2\", almost, but not\nas tall as CLAY. He weighed about 175 lbs, ruddy complexion, and\nI think he did have a mustache. If I recall correctly, he had\na rather full head of hair with some grey, which he parted. I am\npretty sure his hair was parted. He had no scars. He had a\nSpanish accent. There was also a younger person that had painted\nCLAY's apartment and he was to do some work for this gentleman.\nHe was doing painting for these people and he was supposedly an\nartist or writer. CLAY's apartment had just been completed being\npainted. This young man had painted the apartment for CLAY and\nwas to do some work for the older man. This younger person was\nin his early 20's. There were some 8 to 12 people at this party\nbut I can't recall their namas,\nQ.\nDid you know any of these people personally?\nA.\nI knew several of them. Just a \"Hello\" acquain-\ntance, not personally. There were some there\nwhose names I knew, but I can't recall.\nQ.\nDid the name SERGIO ring a bell?\nA.\nIt could have been this person I am describing at\nthis party, but I am not positive.\nQ.\nI show you a picture of SERGIO ARCACHA SMITH,\ncould this be the fellow you described as a\nSpanish-type individual at the party?\nA.\nNo, because he is much more lean than the person\nin this picture, and older. In other words, his\nface was a lean as yours (SIMMS), and if I recall\ncorrectly, the hair was longer and more full than\nthat. CLAY knew a lot of Spanish and Mexican\npeople. It didn't seem unusual for them to be\nthere. He knew them from the Quarter, from the\nTrade Mart and from Mexico.\nAfter the party, I went to another party around\n7:00 o'clock. I went to CLAY's around 5:00 and left around 7:00.\nI think this was in October. Being at two parties the same even-\ning, it is hard to remember who was where. (Shown picture of\nSpanish and other people, and referring to AL BEAUBOUEF) This\ncould have been the person who painted CLAY's apartment and was\nto do some work for the Spanish person.\nFirst-hand, I know nothing of CLAY's personal or\nsexual life, but maybe he has made some remark of someone he has\nmet; that he thought the person was very attractive or something\nlike that. I can't recall him saying he ever went to bed with\nsome person, but he did mention to me his liking of men. It is\nrelatively common knowledge among friends. I know nothing first-\nhand of his private life, but he did say something about liking\nmen. He never mentioned anyone specifically.\n-2-\nLet me see that picture again. The one I saw\nbefore. This person I know. JERRY WINTERS, is that his name?\nQ.\nAre you a homosexual?\nA.\nI would rather be termed bi-sexual. I have had\nsex with both sexes. I was married for 5½ years;\nI had 2 children; I have had sex with women before\nI married and since then.\nQ.\nI show you a picture of a single person dressed\nin a sailor outfit, can you identify this picture?\nA.\nIt appears to be a person I know as JERRY WINTERS\nwho worked for Nunez Employment Agency about 3\nyears ago, I think. He lives, or did live on\nJosephine Street or somewhere up in that area.\nI know nothing about him personally.\nQ.\nDo you ever recall CLAY SHAW having a room-mate?\nA\nI think many years ago a JEFF BITTERSON lived with\nhim. I think this was many years ago, I am not\nsure. I would think - I think he is \"gay\".\nQ.\nDo you know what type of work JEFF BITTERSON\ndid?\nA.\nAs far as I know, he always sold real estate.

I would see DAVE from time to time\nin the same bar and I flew with him in his airplane on several\noccasions.\nOne night while drinking in the Golden Lantern, DAVE introduced\nme to CLAY SHAW. I was with CLAY SHAW and DAVE for several hours\nthat night which was in Late 1960 or early 1961. From that time on\nI use to see CLAY SHAW on different occasions, you know drinking and\nso forth. One day in late '61 or early '62 I received a phone call\n5 Dans\nfrom DAVE and he asked me if I would like to take an overnight plane\n+\ntrip with him. I said, all right, and then met FERRIE at the airport\nFarri:\nat which time I found out that CLAY SHAW was coming with us. At\nthis time I also found out that we were going to Canada to pick some-\none up. No other explanation was given. While on the trip, CLAY\nSHAW sat in the back of the airplane reading books and slept. SHAW\nalso had a brown brief case with him. On the flight we stopped at\ndifferent places to gas up and stretch our legs. We stopped in\nNashville, Tennessee, Louisville, Kentucky, and Toranado, Canada.\nCanada\nOur final stop was in Montreal, Canada. FERRIE and myself stayed\n(Montral)\nin a hotel overnight. I believe it might have been the Hilton Air\nor something like that. The hotel was located in Dovral which was\nright outside of Montreal. CLAY SHAW disappeared after we landed and\nI did not see him until the next morning which was about 8 o'clock\nwhen we were ready to leave and come back to New Orleans. When SHAW\narrived at the plane, he had this Mexican or Cuban with him. This\nCuban:\nguy was kind of heavy set, dark complexion, balding in the front, in\nhis early 30's or middle 30's. He sat in the back of the airplane\nwith SHAW and spoke only to SHAW in broken English. The airplane\nthat we used was a Cessna 172 which I believed belonged to a friend\nof FERRIE's. We bought our gas with a Gulf credit card which FERRIE\nhad. When we got back to the Lakefront Airport, I got into my auto-\nmobile and FERRIE and SHAW and the other guy got into another auto-\nmobile and left.\nAbout a month or two later I got another phone call from FERRIE\nasking me if I wanted to make the return trip withhim to Canada,\nbut I told him no.\nI have seen SHAW on different occasions in barrooms and at the\nInternational Trade Mart up until the time that the District Attorney's\nShow:\noffice started their investigation. I have heard other people intro-\nduce CLAY SHAW as CLAY BERTRAND, but he has never been introduced to\n-\n-2-\nme as CLAY BERTRAND.\nI would also like to state that about two or three weeks after\nDAVE FERRIE died I got a phone call from JACK HELMS who was formerly\n\"fack\nwith the Federal Government and later connected with the Klu Klux\nKlan asking me if I would take a ride with him by FERRIE's house to\nKim\npick up some papers. I said, yes, and a short while later he picked\nme up at my house in a 1966 white chevrolet. We drove to FERRIE's\nhouse and parked a little way down the block. JACK got out of the\nFerri's\nautomobile with a flashlight and it appeared that he went around the\npapers\nback of the house or into the back yard. A short while later he came\nback with a black briefcase and got into the automobile at which time\nwe drove off. Later I believe that the contents of this briefcase were\nput into a safety deposit box in the Bank of Louisiana. Later I\nbelieve that these papers were removed from the Bank of Louisiana and\nput into a big black box in St. Bernard Parish which belonged to the\nKlan. The fellow who kept this box is called OTTO. I do not know him\nby any other name. I believe that these papers were then removed from\nthis black box, but I don't know where they were removed to. I did\nmanage to get some papers from this black box, but they pertained to\nthe Klan, and I turned these papers to CLEMENT HOOD, an FBI Agent I\nwas working for. I also had contact with CIA Agents. Their names\nbeing STEINMEYER, who has since been transferred to Texas, and NAT\nBROWN who is still in New Orleans and another guy by the name of RED,\nlast name unknown. I used to have meetings with the Agents in different\nmotel rooms where I would give them reports, pictures, recordings, etc.,\nand would also receive my pay check or cash which I would sign a\nvoucher for and would also receive further instructions. They would\nmail different things to me at my post office box number which is\n701-30252, Lafayette Street Branch.\nSeveral months ago RICK TOWNLEY with WDSU called me and told me\nthat he had information that I had tape recordings that someone wanted\nto buy from me. I asked him how he had found out that I had them and\nhe said that didn't matter. He asked me if I would meet him some\nplace and I told him yes, to come over to my house. He said, no, he\nwouldn't do that, that it would have to be some public place. So I\nmet him in the Kopper Kitchen on Tulane Avenue. After we talked for\na while I went home and put on a suit and we went down to WDSU. When\nand\nwe got to WDSU, TOWNLEY called WALTER SHERIDAN in New York and I sat\nTownday):\nthere while TOWNLEY talked to SHERIDAN. After TOWNLEY hund up he\nsaid that SHERIDAN would be in town the following morning. TOWNLEY\nasked me what I wanted for the tapes that I had, and I told him $500.\nThe next morning they gave me the $500 for the tapes and asked me if\nI would do a film for WDSU consisting of what I know about the Cubans,\nFERRIE, SHAW, etc. The tape that I sold them contained some informa-\ntion about the Klan and other information about the papers that were\npicked up at FERRIE's house. WALTER SHERIDAN is the one who gave me\nthe $500 for the tapes. This $500 was in a sealed envelope and was\nall one hundred dollar bills. This was given to me in an office in\nin WDSU which was located by their newsroom. We then went upstairs\nand they locked the doors and placed a guard on the door and started\nasking questions and taking pictures of me. I even remember that\nthere was a man from Sweden who was talking to the cameramen and they\nasked him to leave. They asked me questions such as, Do I know CLAY\nSHAW: Did I ever fly with CLAY SHAW and DAVID FERRIE: If I knew GENE\nDAVIS, which I told them that I knew GENE DAVIS very well because he\nwas a personal friend of mine; If I knew GORDON NOVEL: If I ever\nworked for the FBI, CIA, to which questions I said, yes of which\n-3-\nquestions WATTER SHERIDAN said he had already known that I would\nfored\nsay yes to. I was then told to say that I didn't know anything\nthat would help Garrison in his investigation and this was also\nput on film. I don't remember everything that he told me to say but\nhe did tell 1002 to go to Canada. Пе also said that he would edit and\ncut the films after I was gone. He also said that they would get me\nan attorney if I needed one. I told SHERIDAN And TOWNLEY not to re-\nlease this film if they were going to cut any part of it. They said\nthat when I got to Canada they would call me and ask if it could\nbe released. They called my wife later and asked her if she would\nlet them release it and she also told them no. I understand that\nthis film has been cut and released.\nMR. HOOD told me not to get involved with the District Attorney's\nOffice and if the District Attorney's Office tried to subpoena me,\nthat he would take care of it. MR. HOOD told me to give all the\ncooperation necessary that WALTER SHERIDAN required.

Only social con-\ntact 62-63.\nThis is Louis P. Davis, Minite Man type, associated\nwith\ngo\nAt present Higgenbotham has been arraigned on a charge of Marijuana\npossession. His attorney is Gill, Jr.\nwho\nBeckham at his 1968 Grand Jury reppeared appearance\nThe first night he was here (538 St. Phillip) he showed me stats of\nthree letters from Banister to him conerning Banister's providing\nhim with false credentials and a cover for infiltrating Communist\ngroups. His code name was to be \"Dale\".\nHe Higgenbotham, says he saw Martin McAullife in Banister's office\na few times. His reason for severing ties with Banister he attri-\nbutes to a definite nervousness upon seeing crates obviously of\nwith Roswell Thompson\nmilitary supplies in the back room. There were\napparently meetings were also held there.\n(Kent)\nFor some time he said that Banister and Courtney worked closely,\nhowever Banister did not have a good opinion of Courtney, consid-\nering him too mercenary and a \"loose-mouth\".\nHiggenbotham also says there was quite a bit of radio equipment in\nthe back room.\nLou Davis was at Banister's frequently.\nRockewll Nazi party stayed at Mike Slatter's apartment on Royal\nLevels Rockwall was at Benester office arending to then The\nStreet, before they were removed to Plaquemines Parish.\nwe\nYoung man named Eddie Porter, who is now on the west coast, told\nGeorge he know Oswald was a \"hustler\" on Royal street. George\nsaid Porter did not specify the time, or if he did, George doesn't\nremember. Porter is gay.\nHiggenbotham was kidding Banister about sharing a bldg. with people\npassing out leaflets of the street and Bannister said, \"Cool it\none of them, is one of mine.\"\nwell\nAnown\nCastro framy reamy month of stake\nMiniste Man setimit, arrested at P.\nHiggenbotham 'suggested' following up the possibility of a connecti\nbetween Richard Lauchli and Bannister. He said; \"Rumour has it that\nthe FBI arrested Lauchli in the Covington area for selling arms to\nLatin America\". But Higgenbotham considered it odd that Lauchli\nAppearity\nwas never out of business and business seemed to even improve. He\nhad a publication called \"The Counter Insurgency Council\" and was\nfriends with the\nBab Pauthin lications Pab. V\nDenver, Colorado. It was all literature concerning demolition\nprocedures, guerrila warfare, Army manuals of warfare, text books\nand instructions of how to organize a fihting group.\nMuch of whay George said was difficult to orientate. He would say,\n\"You might check this out\", or \"Here's a name,\" and when I asked woul\nsay, \"I'd rather not say.\" And then he kept throwing in \"This\nmay have no meaning, I\"m not sure I have anything that might help.\"\nuntil I was never sure whether this was meant to be bait or not.\nA lot of things he said he would prefer to discuss in detail only\nwith Jim Garrison.\nConcerning the camp across the Lake. Higgenbotham suggested the\nfollowing names:\nDEREK FRIER (was unsure of spelling)\nWas a\nCoucier for the Nazi Party\nLived on St. Charles\nAvenue in '62\nThey now live in covington area.\nGEORGE HIGGENBOTHAM\n2\nLOREN BUTLER\nSuggested looking for this man, who was a friend\nof Frier's, and was a high official in Nazi Party.\nRAY LEEHEART (Or Earhart)\nA bus driver out of the Magazine St.\ndepot\nvery active in the Nazi party. Used to place Party slogan\nand posters on the walls of the depot.\nHiggenbotham knows Joe Newbrough of course, but insists he did not\nknow Bill Dalzell. When he brought the Lauchli material, etc., he\ndid not go into too much detail, probably assuming (correctly) that\nI wouldn't understand too much, although he trusts me as much as he\ndoes any woman. Whether much of this is significant or not, I\ncan't say. But Higgenbotham is NOT playing games; he is in too much\nof a bind and he is willing to cooperate in any way. This is one\nperson TOMMY BAUMLER will go to any lengths for, (regardless of the\nconsequences) and the first person Tommy has begged me to help in\nany way you can\". Higgenbotham was a pallbearer at Tommy's Daddy's\nfuneral and Tommy says \"When I was a crippled kid without a friend\nin the world, George came and played Chess with me and was my only\nfriend.\"\nHiggenbotham has lived at the same Lowerline Street address for about\nfifteen years. Is a gun collector, has survived many political\nchanges, and apparently his sexual proclivities tend to young males.\nHe believes the Pot found belonged to a young man with whom he is\nno longer friendly. His attorney is Gill, Jr. (mentioned previously).\nHe felt that much of his information would not be considered, be-\ncause in his opinion Lou Davis was and is a key factor in the sub\nmerged activities in this area, and because of\nwould not follow them to a conclusion. He\nfeels there was organization locally in respect to a conspiracy\nthan appears so far on the surface. Particularly in respect to the\nacquisition of supplies, training organization and leadership. He\nsays it's logical because these things were available. It certainly\nwouldn't hurt to talk with him.\nBARBARA GLANCEY REID\n-1-\nWell, to make a long story short, I was in the same outfit as Oswald\nwas in the \"Fair Play for Cuba Committee\" only apparently he wasn't\nin it so deeply and in & different part of the country and, at the\nsame time; now bear with me now because this is a very difficult ex-\nplanation to a certain extent.\nMy wife gives me a bit of a rough time when I discuss this situation.\nI think I'll bust her in the eye to be truthful about it. Anyway the\nFBI contacted me when I came back and I blew the whistle to them for\na year while I was still an officer in that outfit in Chicago \"Fair\nPlay for Cuba Committee\" I appeared in a hearing with the rest of them.\nNow, I was never a communist, right winger or left winger or anything\nyou see. I was merely interested in the revolution which I hated a\nlittle bit. I could fly a little or push an airplane around a little.\nNow, Can I make a more important point, after my time was up there,\nwhich was a year, when a hearing was to be held, I was told by the\nFBI that they wanted more information from me and that was it, they\ndidn't explain or anything, and it was sort of a let down. I was\ngoing to whistle on my former friends. I thought I was convinced by\nthem that I was doing a proper job and they kicked me down so, I\nblew out of there and came to California and that was in 1961, the\nday they were holding the hearing. They didn't want me around appa-\nrently, so here in 1962, I joined up with a bunch of anti-Castro people,\nCubans, Americans and others. And then I found my way into circles\nof the political right, you see, who were very effective in trying to\ndo away with Castro. At least they were talking about it. That's\nall they did was talk about it. Believe me, I bought the right wing\nline of thing and I am not against them right now, as a matter of fact,\nexcept that I found out a lot of things that horrified me; I peddled\ntheir line for them, because I thought in turn that they were going\nto help us get rid of Castro. They were anti-communist, anti-Castro\nand all that stuff and I hated Castro, because what the communist\nwere doing embarrassed me, made a fool out of me and wasted all my\nefforts, so I was going to get even. So this right wing thing was the\nway to do it and I swallowed it. I thought it was a greatidea; the\nAmericanism, patriotism and all that stuff. As time went on and as\nI look back I didn't know it at that time, it was always the anti-\ncunity bit: (he's a dirty communist, and this and that) and I figured\nit was just a bunch of hog wash and I'll go along with the people just\nto get action against Castro. And the individuals were donating\nheavily, you see.\nWell, the Birch Society was talking against Castro. In other words,\n\"Cuba free in 1963\" and everything. The individuals were actually\ndoing something about it by donating money to these different orga-\nnizations preferably to Hall, and Howard got it and the other people\ngot it in New Orleans, Dallas, Florida and so forth, the money finally\ngot to them and the medicine that came from the doctors.\nQ.\nWhen you say Hall, you mean Lorenz D. Hall?\nIt is... a nickname by the way, his name is Lorenzo. And Lawrence\nHoward is Larry Howard. I am sure Weisberg knows this, the rest\nknow this too that Larry Howard is a Mexican American. Lorenzo\nHall is a Cuban American. The number three man was a guy by the name\nAof Guy Gabaldin, a Mexican American, the one time big hero they made\na movie about called \"Hell to Eternity\", a former marine, if you recall\nit.\nQ.\nI do vaguely.\nThey play it every year on Channel 9.\nWell, anyway, the point is, these people, I find later were in it\nlong before Weisberg and all the rest of those people came along\nwriting books and it bore on my conscience. I informed the proper\nauthorities about my involvements so I wouldn't become pinned down\n-2-\nwhen they finally arrested them for associating with assassinators\nof President Kennedy.\nNow, I immediately thought, and I told old lady Oswald so, \"My gosh\nwoman, your son is doing the same job as I was.\" That was my impression.\nYou don't get wrong impressions when you are in.a mess like that. And\nlater on the evidence came out that he was this and that. So I said well\napparently those people were the ones that did it and then I thought\nthey didn't want Kennedy dead, but the right wing was always trying to\nkill him. Gebaldin said he was going to kill him in 1962, when Kennedy\nvisited Mexico City. He had an office in Mexico City, by the way, run-\nning an anti-communist fron called \"Drive against Communist Aggression\".\n&\nThis was Gabaldin?\nGabaldin, Howard, Hall, me and all the rest. He was financed by some\nbig business men here of whom I have the list of names and whom I became\nvery friendly with. Now, I don't know if you are getting this proper\nor not, but you can ask me questions. He had an office there, he had\nsome friends in Mexican Federal Police. The FBI of Mexico, who he\ntried to get to help with this Kennedy deal down there. To shoot\nKennedy in Mexico City when he was on parade there. And I thought, well,\nthe guy was crazy, he is not talking sense and he didn't really mean\nthat he was going to kill Kennedy.\nThese people, Oswald and whoever they blame for it and even if he was\ninvolved or not which I doubt that he was in a way, at least I think he\nwas finking on him just like I was on those people up there. They\nhated Kennedy, you get it, no \"Fair Play for Cuba Committee\" say they\nhated him, but I heard the right wing say they hated him. \"Them dirty\nshould be dead. G---D---him and all that sort of thing\". When\nI was on the other side, I believed what they believed in. I didn't\nbelieve what the left wing believed. I finally got to believe what\nthey believed. I couldn't follow it, it didn't make sense. But I\nunderstood that they called him a communist. Actually I was against\ncommunism, but I wasn't long with them, just to do away with Castro and\nto aid the people that were going against Castro. Okay, now they had\nthis office in Mexico City, this Federal police officer, Captain Juan A.\nAranda practically had him assassinated, Gabaldin assassinated for try-\ning to present the problem of killing Kennedy there. He ran him out of\nMexico City.\nQ.\nHe knew what he was up to, in other words?\nSure, he told the, they had been friends for a long time, this anti-\ncommunist stuff. Then Gabaldin tried to sell remembering Gabaldin,\nHoward and Hall was one group with a bunch of other people\nQ.\nOf course, I remember.\nThey all associated. I knew this and I thought it was great. Anyways,\nhe couldn't swallow the whole trap that Kennedy was a communist. Being\nMexican and he wouldn't believe it. He just couldn't see it, so they\nrounded them all up and threw them out of Mexico City. That was it,\nthey took his furniture that he had in his office and seized him. And\nno one knows about those things. If Oswald went to Mexico City, he went\nthere (now here is another shot) Gabaldin and I went one day to John\nRousselot of the Birch Society and Sam Moreno in their old office down\nthe street from there, the present one) to get $10,000. You might think\nI am some kind of a damn fool, but I am not. I want to see these dirty\ndouble crossing finks get what they got coming, because they continue\nto be a threat to me, what we believe is true, and obviously it is as\ntrue as the daylight now showing. I dont' care to prove it and all that\ngarbage where you've got to prove stuff, that doesn't mean anyting to me.\nQ.\nBut you want the information to get out?\nThat's right. I've written all of this down and I am looking at my\nbriefcase that contains every name and address and everything I ever did.\n&\nDo you remember that portion that Mr. Weisberg spoke and he talks about\nthe visit to Sodio Audeo's apartment?\nRight in my organization, sure. Certainly I remember that. When I saw\nthat in October 1964, I said, My God, they have really did it.\n-3-\nThey have really reached out, when Howard and Hall's name appeared.\n&\nWhat about William Seymour?\nBilly Seymour. It looked like Oswald And I would say that come\nno one?---How come no one has ever gotten the whereabouts of Gabaldin?\nYou know the FBI Now let me tell you first one thing before the\n$10,000 bit is finished here.\nSenator Hoover---Now, you know what I know about the Bureau is this,\nand you can't blame him, No, I mean you can blame hi, but, for this\npoint National Security was always drummed into our minds --And any\ntime I open my mouth, they talk about National Security---please don't\nsay anything to me. Now, I agree with National Security and it is\nimmoral sometime, but, for National Security reasons alone he has done\nwhat he has done.\n&\nHe put the lid on this thing, in other words?\nHe put the lid on, he aimed to keep it on there at all costs. He has to,\nbecause, these people, their representatives, of the people I am dis-\ncussing now, are so powerful in the United States, that they can knock\nthe President off, if they want, if he doesn't tow the line.\nThe right wing said this about the communists. But it isn't so, it is\nthe right wing that is really that way.\nMr. Hunt and a lot of the big shots that I agreed with, they can do\nthese things and they will. If things don't go right. Now, I am sur-\nprised, the right used to cry, we don't have any money, we don't have any\npower, we don't have this, why, they organized the Birch Society and got\nit financed. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not an enemy of theirs. I\nread their book right now, and their material and I agree with a great\ndeal of it, but nevertheless, it doesn't make this fellow any less guilty\nof associating with Gabaldin and that bunch of creeps. The ten grand\nGabaldin said he didn't get when I waited outside the office, he went\ninside and talked to Rousellot. He said he didn't get it, but they\ntalked forfour hours. The ten grand was supposed to go to Mexico City\noperation, whatever that means, I know when I was invited down there,\nGabaldin and I were both flying airplanes, he invited me to co-pilot for\nhim. I never went down, I was afraid to go to Mexico because of the\nmess I had been in with Castro and he got more effective agents.\nQ.\nIn Mexico?\nYes, the ten grand apparently he didn't get. But I think he did get it.\nAnd John Rousselot was supposed to kick back whatever benefits to the\nBirch Society. That was Gabaldin's work. It didn't ring a bell with me\nthen. Later on, a personal friend of mine was working in a little\nSavings and Loan place and it turns out that this very poor fellow, Mr.\nRousselot, whom I know quite well, and as I have said many times, he was\nin cahoots. To many people, I have said this, but I never went into an\nexplanation of the whole thing. He made a loan of $19 or 24,000 on the\nfirst of 1963. So you can't say he didn't have the ten grand to do it\nwith. I've got a copy of the loan. When I saw that, it even added up\nmore so. I am not one given to fear, but I am just telling you that is\nthe way things are. And when I see all these guys like Mr. Weisberg and\nMark Lane. I have talked to him on the phone, he kind of figured out I\nwas some kind of crackpot. But they are aiming at a thing that I have\nknown for years. And if they really are wanting to do something, let\nthem do this. Let them say these things. Let me get up and say these\nthings and I'll say them. We'll bring this thing to a head.\nI'll tell you why exactly Mr. Hoover is covering up from my point of view\nis having been an undercover fink for them for a year is for National\nSecurity reasons. I agree with him, but he is still covering up. And\nthat's it. And many another Ching has happened in the interim. They're\nall written down here.\n&\nI don't know if you recall, I just wanted to ask if there was a\nLeopoldo.\nThat could have been his underground name of Lorenzo.\nQ.\nThat came to Sodio Audeo's apartment too?\nI think it was Lorenzo. Leopoldo was working with an underground name.\nHoward wanted me to run an office here in 1963, before Kennedy was\nassassinated, to inform the press, make press releases and collect money,\nwhich I didn't do because I was doing other things along right wing lines;\nto run an office here, to get press releases under way, just as they were\nabout to happen against Castro.\nHoward is a warrior. Hall was political person that made speeches at\nBirch Society meetings open meetings and closed meetings and was very well\naccepted by them. He made a lot of money. I found out, I said to Gabal-\ndin one day, \"what is he doing with all this dough? Is he really putting\nit into the anti-Castro operations. He said \"every penny of it goes in\nthere, I guarantee you\", and I took his word for it at that time, because\nhe was a sort of the leader of things.\nAnd another thing, Gabaldin, when he came back from Mexico, he ran this\ndrive against communist aggression which was financed from here. I\nhave all the literature on it and remember all the details. He made\nspeeches all around Arizona, Canada, Detroit. He was all around and\ntherefore, helped build up the network we had. Everything is ABC\n&\nWas there such a network in Dallas too?\nWell sure it is in Dallas. It was part of our---I am associated with\njuror members here now, they're inactive by the way. If there is some-\nthing going on at least they are keeping it quiet. They probably sus-\npect me of being at fink, I suppose. But I really think, because we were\nsuch good friends, awhile back, that there is really nothing popping\njust now. They work and naturally take advantage of the situation.\nRight now it is not profitable or possible.\n&\nWhere is Gabaldin now?\nOh, he's hiding out in Mexico. See, all those guys took trips quietly.\nYou know when the FBI can't find the, they are well hidden. They couldn't\nfind Howard or Hall for a long time.\nI saw Gabaldin about six months ago, over in E1 Monte, a Mexican\nrestaurant here, he and one of his former backers, who was a big wheel\nin Freedom Forum, and his name was Ray Fleischman. Now for Ray in whose\nopinion, doctors and so forth, we $10,000 worth of medicine for anti-\nCastro operation in the Mexico City deal.\nQ.\nWas there any link between group and Ruby with his activities in Cuba?\nI don't even like to talk about that guy because, I can't stand anyone,\nI feel sorry for him and the way he died and so forth, but I knew he\nand I knew he would just like Lane and Mr. Weisberg knew. He was a\ndirty rat that was in the scheme somewhere. I don't even like to talk\nabout a back shooter in other words. I got no use for him. He's cheated\neveryone and helped make the big lie.\nObviously, if that woman said he was involved, he probably was involved.\nI'd discuss it with her if I were researching the situation.\nQ.\nWhich woman are you referring to?\nI think Mr. Lane or Mr. Weisberg wrote about some woman who put the\nfinger on Ruby as being the payoff man.\nYou see, we were all in Cuba at different times.\nQ.\nYou were there too?\nWell, sure, just for a short time, after the war.\n-5-\nThis is some of the government there, some of the big wheels, Any\nof them that went there were either for or against. They had some\ndeal going with the government, see. They were involved in other\nwords, they didn't just go there to look around, because the peasant\narmies are marching and people are building and things are really\ngoing on down there. So you just don't go there to look around, it\nis not just a good tourist spot. It's a revolutionary activity, so\nRuby was there, and that convinces me he was involved.\n&\nDid you know anyone there by the name of Praskins or Pratkins, or\nanyone by the name of McWilly?\nI knew those names. They're in the same report that I am in.\nOh, no, no, no. I just heard the names. I don't know them.\nQ.\nThey don't ring a bell.\nTheydo ring a bell, but not with my activities; I don't know them\nat all. I just read about them and I don't want to bring them in\nwith the reality of what I know.\nQ. Certainly. Well, it has been very interesting, in any case, and\nI don't know when Harold will be out here again, but I know that\nhe would enjoy meeting you when he does come and I am sure that can\nbe arranged. In any case, remember that I called and that wasn't\nyour home phone was it. Am I talking to you from there?\nThat is my business and home both. It's a little printing business.\nQ.\nWell, I'll be in touch with you in any case. I am very grateful for\nyour call and that is all I can say.\nWell, these guys are batting their brains out. I don't know what their\nangles are. They may be very honest upstanding non-political non-\nreligious people that are really trying to do their job, and I'd like\nto think that was the case. It doesn't matter what their real motives\nare, the point is, they are fishing around and finding out a whole lot\nof things and I don't want to be embroiled in the middle of it when\nthey fish my name out of the hat. If you know what I mean.\nI'd rather blow the whistle now and get it over with, If someone\nused it, then I am in the clear.\n&\nYou speak about people knowing how to fly airplanes, you know it was\nspeculated that a plane did take off or was scheduled to take off at\nRedbury Field at Dallas the afternoon of the assassination.\nOh, I never heard that.\nQ.\nYes, that is in one of the articles by one of the authors of the case.\nSchebody felt that a plane really did take off for Mexico or one of\nthe South American countries.\nI know Gabaldi flew a lot of miles back and forth. Look, here is\na very simple solution. Gabaldi naturally wouldn't be involved directly,\nhe might even be sitting there in an airplane, I don't know, I don't\ncare about that. But where was Billy Seymour that day, to whom I\nthink, you know, run upstairs and put uncle on the spot, I really think\nthat. He was just a dirty little rat like some of these people who are\ntrying to make a name for themselves. These big movies heros.\nQ.\nDid these people have expertees, firearms and weapons?\nWell, yes. I learned stuff myself and they had people who wrote manuals\nby hand and passed them around to the Greeks that wer training on\nNonamekey. That's name of t'.e key. That's \"no name\". There was also\na place near New Orleans. They had expertees there. There was &\nlocal guy training them there, a Canadian, and Howard and several\nothers. What they wanted from us was medicine. If you've got a\nwound, they want to throw a powder on it. What kind of powder it is\nI forget now. And aspirin and stuff like that in case they were\nwounded you see.\n-6-\nSo they knew all the fundamentals of killing, wounding. They knew\nall the fundamentals in a raid. I would say Howard was an expert\nbecause he sure taught an awful lot of men in the army --Castro.\nI don't give a hoot about any of those people anymore. I think\nthey've used me up. I don't want to be around when the ax falls\nand at the same time I wan't to see it fall.\n&\nYou want to get your information out while you have the chance?\nRight. And these birds which I did definitely imagine was the case,\nwere involved, whether Oswald was or not doesn't matter. I still\nthink he was doing the same job I was doing. Before, I even read\na word of it, I knew it.\nQ.\nThat Oswald was down here?\nbrought\nI'm the one/his old lady on the \"Joe Pine Show\". Did you see that?\n&\nNo, I didn't, I heard that she was here though.\nThat was in 1965, I appeared down there and I told briefly what I\nwas involved in and I said you know I got the impression your son\nwas doing the same thing I was\"; they shut me up and I though the\nFederal Bureau wouldn't ever speak to me again, because they told me\nto shut my trap, see,\nQ.\nTell me can I reach you at this number? When is the best time to call?\nOr do you want to leave it as just where you can reach me?\nWell, it would be sensible just to have it that way, wouldn't it?\n&\nAllright, whatever you like, but this is a good time to call me,\nearly in the morning and I will transfer some of this to Harold, if\nyou like, at least I will give him a report on the facts as they are.\n-7-\n&\nWhat do you think of General Walker? I mean you say you know Walker,\nDo you think it is true that he might be involved? First of all, you\nknow that Oswald was to have taken the shot at General Walker?\nA.\nI don't believe it. I think Howard took a shot.\nQ.\nOh, you think Howard took a shot?\nCertainly, he was in Dallas with all those other crums. I don't\nbelieve Oswald did it. I don't care, you see. I don't want to try to\nprove anything. I am just trying to tell you who did what, and why.\n&\nWell Oswald supposedly had someone with him? There were perhaps two\npeople involved in it.\nLike Billy Seymour and Howard who was always hauling his big Mexican\ncarcass around trying to pull some kind of & caper. Oswald was a fink,\njust like I was. A fink for the Feds. Let's face it. We did things\nthat were completely opposed. We committed treason for the Federal\nBureau of Investigation. You know what I mean. The things we blame\nthe committee for doing, we did, we led them, we organized them and we\nwould do things that would put us in such a light, such a position and\nwe would even go take a shot at someone, if we had to, if that was part\nof getting us to infiltrate some organization. There it is, it is\nhorrible, but true. And then it was very likely that Oswald did it in-\ntending to infiltrate never intending to hit, you never know, it is\nsomething that bears investigation, if possible The very cover up of\nthe situation, obliterations here and there of things, indicates some\nmore things involved which I am glad to see people investigate it.\nQ.\nDo you think it is conceivable when Oswald went to Mexico City that he\nwas endeavoring to sea Gabaldin or was Gabaldin there at that time?\nExactly what I am thinking. Look at Billy Seymour--And another thing\nGabaldin told me that hit me pretty hard and I hated his guts for it,\nnot hate him, I wouldn't burn his house down, but I hated him because\nhe said later on before Kennedy died, \"I know a guy that looks just like\nyou.\" Now here's me. A picture of me. I'm going around wearing a\nTexas hat, I've got a rifle and I go out and shoot all the time and\nGabaldin knows this. I'm a chewing tobacco, Texas hat wearing gunman,\nyou get it. He's got this picture of me like I am some kind of a big\nfat fool. He's telling me, I know a guy looks exactly like you and I\nsaid \"poor b and so forth. But he told me this several times and\nthat gave me the impression he was trying to tell me something. Then\nlater on I realized By God it could have been another one of these\nBilly Seymour deals trying to get me with my own reputation as an NRA\nmember and a shooter and get me involved in all this deal. So this isn't\nfrom what somebody else investigated, this is what I realized later on,\nand it worried me plenty.\nAny ay it is a long miserable situation and with both people it was hate\ndrove them ever forward and I suppose with a little money too. But more\nand more actual hate than money.\na.\nI think that is obvious.\nI think I had better hit the trail as I am holding you up there.\n&\nI appreciate it in any case and we will be in touch then.\nA.\nGood show.\na.\nOkay, thank you so much. Bye Bye now.\nMEMORANDUM\nRe FERRIE\nApril 24, 1969\nTO:\nJAMES L. ALCOCK, Exec. Assistant D. A.\nFROM:\nCAPT. FREDERICK A. SOULE, SR., Investigator\nRE:\nINTERVIEW WITH:\nCLARA FLOURNOY \"BOOTSIE\" GAY UNDER ITEM #2,\nAL CLARK INTERVIEW.\nIn answer to a subpoena, Bootsie Gay came into\nthe office on this date at about 2:45 p.m. She stated to\nSoule and Mr. James Alcock that she resides at 528 Dumaine\nStreet, and is employed at Max Hills Painting Suppliers\nlocated at 629 St. Peter Street - telephone: 523-9302.\nShe stated that just prior to the assassination\nshe was having G. WRAY GILL do some legal work of a civil\nnature for her. She made several trips to GILL'S office\nand observed DAVID FERRIE who had an office at GILL'S office,\nand she understood that FERRIE was an investigator for GILL.\nThe day following the John Kennedy assassination,\na Saturday, she (MRS. GAY), went to GILL'S office and\nobserved that two female employees were cleaning out FERRIE'S\ndesk. She saw a chart or a sketch, and what caught her eye\nwas the fact that this chart had ELM written on what appeared\nto be a street. There was also a building and on the street\nwas a square with letters \"VIP\" written in this square.\nMRS. GAY stated that she remarked to the\nreceptionist that this should be turned over to the F.B.I.\nThe receptionist then picked it off the desk and threw it\nin the trash can stating it was nothing.\nMRS. GAY stated that she then took the document\nfrom the trash can stating that she would give it to the F.B. I.\nThe receptionist then grabbed the document from Mrs. Gay's\nhand and again threw it in the trash can.\nMRS. GAY seemed to be about 60 years, reasonably\nintelligent, slightly nervous and very cooperative. She\nappears to be the type of individual that likes to see justice\nprevail.\nCAPT. FRED SOULE, SR.\nMEMORANDUM\nApril 4, 1967\nTO:\nJIM GARRISON\nDISTRICT. ATTORNEY\nFROM:\nWILLIAM GURVICH\nSPECIAL AIDE\nSUBJECT:\nSERGIO ARCACHA-SMITH- 25 FEBRUARY 1967 -\nDALLAS, TEXAS\nOn 25 February 1967, James Alcock and I flew to\nDallas, Texas to interview SERGIO ARCACHA-SMITH and conduct other\nbusiness relating to the current special investigation.\nAfter our arrival in Dallas, Alcock telephone the\nresidence of ARCACHA-SMITH. He was told by MRS. ARCACHA-SMITH\n\"just a minute\" and when she returned to the phone she asked\nAlcock to call back in one hour. At 5:00 P.M. Alcock called\nagain and MRS. ARCACHA said her husband was not there and was\nwith the District Attorney of Dallas and had expressed his desire\nto meet in a group with this District Attorney. On both calls\nAlcock identified himself. He had previously spoken with ARCACHA\nwho expected to hear from us on this date.\nAt 9:30 P.M. this same date, a third call was made\nand a man answered the phone and identified himself to Alcock as\nDetective Rodgers of the Dallas Police Department. He said\nARCACHA was present but preferred to be interviewed in Police\nHeadquarters and we were asked to meet them there in Room 316.\nAt 10:00 P.M. we arrived in Room 316. ARCACHA\narrived at 10:20 P.M. accompanied by Detectives Rodgers and\nBurnley. We were then taken to a conference room on the same\nfloor and exchanged identification. Alcock explained our presence\nwas to have ARCACHA identify certain persons and give us back-\nground information. ARCACHA said \"O.K. shoot\".\nAlcock said we could not talk in the presence of\nothers except an attorney if ARCACHA wanted one present. ARCACHA\nsaid this was the only way he would talk to us - in front of\nthese detectives. I then said we might as well go as we could\nnot conduct an interview under these conditions and again\nreminded ARCACHA his attorney could be present.\nARCACHA then addressed me and said someone had\nbeen looking for him displaying identification similar to that\nwhich I had displayed. ARCACHA shook his finger at me and was\nvisibly nervous and excited.\n-1-\nI asked ARCACHA why he needed police protection\nwhich was the reason the detectives gave for being with him. I\nasked if he thought he needed police protection from the District\nAttorney of New Orleans and he made no comment. I then asked\nthe detectives if ARCACHA needed protection from anyone and if\nhe had been threatened or feared he would be harmed. I then\nsaid the District Attorney of New Orleans would assist in funish-\ning such protection if it were needed. There was no comment from\nanyone.\nDetective Burnley then stated they had told ARCACHA\nhe would be arrested if we had a warrant. For this we expressed\nour gratitude. We explained we had no warrant and had not come\nto Dallas to arrest ARCACHA but were here simply to interview\nhim adding that should it be necessary we would get a warrant.\nAt this point Detective Rodgers sarcastically asked, \"And who\ndo you think would serve that warrant?\" I then asked Rodgers,\n\"Are you saying you wouldn't?\" Rodgers then repeated his\nquestion and I repeated mine. Detective Burnley then interrupted\nas if recognizing Rodgers' mistake.\nARCACHA was again informed no one but his attorney\ncould be present. He said he could arrange for this on Monday\n(three days hence) but could not remember his own attorney's name\nDetective Rodgers then said the attorney's name was Alexander.\nAlcock asked ARCACHA if this was his attorney and Burnley and\nRodgers both spoke up and admitted Alexander was the First\nAssistant District Attorney of Dallas County. Alcock then said\nwe could not consent to this. Alcock and I explained this was\na confidential matter and it should be understood we had no\nintention of revealing any part of this to anyone and trusted\nthey, as police officers, should understand this better than\nanyone.\nAlcock and I then walked out of the conference room\nand ARCACHA, Burndey and Rodgers followed us into the hallway.\nThe detectives then said the press room was close by and asked\nthat we return to the conference room. We returned there only\nto ask that our feelings not be construed as rudeness and then\nAlcock and I departed.\nWILLIAM GURVICH\nWG/leb\nMEMORANDUM\nRe: SHAW\nJULES R.

After thinking about it\nhe came to the conclusion that he had seen OSWALD with\nANDREWS. ANDREWS, CLARK recollects, was in the habit of\nbringing his friends into the back door of Dixieland Hall,\nand he believes he saw ANDREWS and OSWALD sitting together\nin the patio right behind Dixieland Hall.\nCLARK said he did not mention this before\nbecause he thought it was common knowledge. that ANDREWS\nknew OSWALD, and he didn't think it was important. ANDREWS\nhad always told him that he knew OSWALD, and therefore he\nattached no significance to it.\nCLARK did not see OSWALD on television in\nNew Orleans when he passed out leaflets in front of the\nTrade Mart.\nFor: Oweld your\nMEMORANDUM\nNovember 29, 1967\nTO:\nJIM GARRISON, District Attorney\nFROM:\nANDREW SCIAMBRA, Assistant D. A.\nRE:\nLEE OSWALD\nUpon further conversation with JS, it was\nlearned that while JS was employed at Dixie's Bar of Music\nwhen it was the biggest and most prominent \"gay\" bar in the\nCity, he had occasion to meet LEE HARVEY OSWALD who used to\nhang around Dixie's and seemed to want to associate with\nthe gay guys. JS remembers him due to the fact that many\ntimes he had to run him out of Dixie's because he was under\nage and prohibited by law from going into bars. JS says\nthat he cannot say what OSWALD's relationship or intentions\nwere in regards to the gay people who were there. He could\nnot say that he had ever seen him associate with any particular\npeople.\nIt should be noted that CLAY SHAW was a frequent\nvisitor to Dixie's Bar of Music, and therefore the possibility\nexists that they could have met at this time. In the same\nvein, SHAW was a frequent visitor to Pat O'Brien's which at\none time had a side bar which catered almost exclusively to\ngay people.

BOX 150\nDALLAS 21. TEXAS\nJanuary 1, 1964\nSince the assessination of President Kennedy on the 22nd of November\nlast, No have been flooded with letters from *11 parts of the\ncountry (and of the world, too) asking for information. It is\nevident from these letters that a great deal of the news avail-\nable here in Dallas has not been made available elsowhere.\nEven in these days of a controlled national nown media system, it is\ndifficult to muzzle the local reporter in his own local news-\npaper. Although #0 cannot, of course, guarantee the complete\naccuracy of the clippings assembled in this book, it undoubt-\nedly will give the reader a better coverage of the incidents\ninvolved, anower a fee questions, and pose same additional\nones. A Cow, perhaps, that the Warren Commission will not\nnoo fit to answer.\nWe trust that this convenient book will prove of value to you.\nR. A. Surrey\nPresident\nAmerican Bagle Publishing Co."
