A.
No, but after what Mr. Lane said the other day --
a
good cause. If the Warren Commission doesn't even look
at the evidence, well how can it possibly be a reliable
report.
Q.
What did FERRIE do as an occupation?
A.
Well, he claimed, he claimed that he was a private
detective -- something which I very seriously doubt.
He doesn't look the role of a private detective; he
doasn't talk the role of a private detective at all in
my book. That's all right. I humored him.
You
humor a lot of people but I don't think he was a
private detective myself. He also told me about his
trips and how he made his money. Now he told me that hel
started working for tha government --- now this is the
only.thing that really has me concerned now -- ha told
Farme:
ma they started working for the government, but now
na later learns that they are not really working for
the government They're working against the government.
And that's why he was in the condition ha was in. He
cold me there were films taken of him and a sixteen
year old boy engaged in an homosexual act hare in New
orleans and he told ma that that is punishable in the
State of Louisiana by life imprisonment. I don't know
your laws here on that particular subject but this is
what he told me. This to me in view of his condition,
poverty condition, this accounts to ma why he didn't
have any money cause he was really making these trips
almost for free.
l.
What were these trips? What was he doing?
A.
He told ma that he made trips down to -- he mentioned
to me very specifically, Guatemala and British Honduras
and Honduras and Belize is one of the cities ha said he
likes.
l.
How do you spell Belize?
A.
B-E-L-I-Z-E, but this is one of the cities he liked.
I believe it's a
Q.
It's British, yeah, it's British.
A.
He told ma that he flew arms and this was the first
time that LAUCHLI Came into it, but he never mentioned
what LAUCHLI, what his role was.
e.
Did he ever say how he got paid for these flights that
he made?
A.
As I told you many times before, he never mentioned
payment. He was always drunk and this is why he
mentioned those films. He indicated that he was being
Firmi
blackmailed for these films. This is why it didn't
of
cost somebody to make those flights. Except as I told
Money:
you he would go, he would take the St. Charles streetcar
and come back with money from time to time. And on one
occasion we went over to this place, the building I
identified which you say is on Camp, I believe, he got
money there.
