MEMORAnDUM
March 14, 1968
is
TO:
JIM GARRISON, District Attorney
FROM:
ANDY SCIAMBRA, Assistant District Attorney
RE:
KERRY THORNLEY
On the night of March 12, 1968, Harold Weisburg and
I interviewed BERNARD GOLDSMITH. GOLDSMITH repeated essentially
what he had previously told Gary Sanders, however, upon further
prodding by Weisburg and myself he made a few additional
comments concerning THORNLEY. He repeated that THORNLEY was
a right-winger and so set in his political beliefs that he,
GOLDSMITH, and THORNLEY made an agreement not to talk politics
He says he can never remember THORNLEY mentioning BRINGUIER
or
KENT COURTNEY's name. He said that THORNLEY and LOVIN were
friends (LOVIN told him that he was in the Bav of Invasion)
GOLDSMITH said that he remembers being in the Bourbon House on
Currois!
the night afternth assassination and THORNLEY remarking to him
that he had known OSWALD in that OSWALD had lived on Exchange
Place. THORNLEY also told him that OSWALD was not a communist.
GOLDSMITH said that THORNLEY did not specify as to the time when
he had known OSWALD but only stated that he had known OSWALD.
GOLDSMITH does not recall him ever saying specifically that he
knew OSWALD when OSWALD was in New Orleans.
GOLDSMITH also says that he vaguely remembers ROGER
LOVIN telling him that he, LOVIN, was a roommate of OSWALD at
one time and GOLDSMITH said that he seems to remember LOVIN
saying this in connection with a conversation about LOVIN' S
Cuban activities.
B/1 etc
GOLDSMITH also said that JOHN EFFERSON and
ITM SOHR
were friends of THORNLEY's. SOHR is presently serving time
D
at Angola.
Barbara and I will make further attempts to talk to
GOLDSMITH who may know some additional information.
