OCR Page 1 of 607 First Ferrie interrogation
FERRIE is seen being escorted by two cops down corridor to jail.
Cut to press conference being conducted by public relations man of FBI
New Orleans bureau. Dressed in gray suit and tie, he is reading a
statement in a monotone, stumbling slightly over the syntax.
FBI PUBLIC RELATIONS MAN: Gentlemen, this afternoon the FBI released
David W. Ferrie, of 3300 Louisiana Avenue Parkway, New Orleans. After
extensive questioning and a thorough background check, the Bureau
found no evidence that Mr. Ferrie knew Lee Harvey Oswald or that he
had any connection with the assassination of President Kennedy. The
Special Agent in Charge would like to make clear that Mr. Ferrie was
yesterday,
brought in for questioning/by the District Attorney of Orleans Parish,
not by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Bureau regrets any
trouble this may have caused Mr. Ferrie.
REPORTERS: (Shouting questions simultaneously) Who is David Ferrie?
Why was he questioned? What's the connection to the assassination?
PUBLIC RELATIONS MAN: I read you the entire statement. The Bureau has
nothing to add on this matter. Thank you, gentlemen. (He walks away,
as reporters and cameramen, lightbulbs flashing, pursue him to no
avail.)
