RE: Material allegedly seen at Wray Gill's Office following
assassination.
Add: interview
of
Give
You have requested that I go through my material to see whether or
D
not we had encountered information which might link G. WRAY GILL'S
office in some way with the assàssination of JFK.
Add:
You already have, of course, the phone bills we got rom that office
for 1962 and 1963, which include the September 24, 1963, call to the
W. Robert
WHITEHALL number in Chicago (which call, as you know, established a
Morgan
linkage with Lawrence V. Meyers, who left Chicago just before the
assassination to fly to Dallas where he met with Jack Ruby every night
until Lee Oswald was killed)
In response to your request, I have found a series of memos -- which
I collected from various subject areas -- which indicate that one CLARA
FLOURNOY (better known as "BOOTSIE GAY" ) was in WRAY GILL'S office the
day following the assassination and allegedly observed several female
employees cleaning out DAVID FERRIE'S desk. It was then that she saw
the diagram quite apparently referreing to the scene of the assassina-
tion in Dallas. When she picked it up it was snatched from her by one
of GILL'S employees.
The memos relating to this incident, which are attached, are as follows:
1. November 8, 1967, memo from Harold Weisberg re his inter-
view with AL CLARK and CLINT BOLTON wherein they confirm BOOTSIE GAY
telling them of the incident.
2. March 27 , 1969, sheet from our office lead file re-
ferring to the incident.
3. April 22, 1969, memo from Captain Fred Soule (New
Orleans Police Department, temporarily attached to my staff) in which
he interviewed AL CLARK and CLARK verified BOOTSIE GAY'S having told
him about being in WRAY GILL'S office and seeing a chart that 'indicated
an assassination plot."
