although he didn't say this specifically). I took the oath
and after the usual identification preliminaries questioned
me closely about a December, 1962, repeat, December, 1962
extortion charge against Ferrie subsequently dropped. He
questioned closely about my informants. I declined to answer
all questions pertaining to my informants, my belief in a
bribery, my knowledge of a bribery. I told him I had asked
Ivon and Gonzales if it was possible a bribery had occurred.
He attempted to weave this into the questioning as my
¹hypothesis" that a bribery did occur. He was unsuccessful
and the stenographer was dismissed. He said I was an unethical
journalist for asking such "poisonous" questions and said he
was "officially" advising me to get counsel because I would
be brought before the Grand Jury. He said I could be liable
to perjury. I asked him if he would like my opinion of his
ethics and he said no. Ivon was present during part of the
questioning and we left Ward's office together. Ivon was
distressed about the whole thing and reassured me that it was
not him that had told Garrison or Ward. He implied it was
Gonzales and said he was brought into Garrison and asked if
the conversation occurred and replied yes.
Immediately afterward, I talked to my attorney Heyd
again. He was amazed at what he called the abuse of the
Grand Jury powers (I gave him no particulars, just said I was
questioned about a possible bribery). He said Ward's action
was completely illegal and amounted to a "bullshit" coercion.
He recommended a lawyer named Monk Zelden who he thinks will
be effective if the matter comes up again.
