Re: DAVID FERRIE
I have now compiled and compared almost 3,000 phone numbers (after deleting
duplications). At first I was very disappointed when comparisons were so fruitless.
But, I guess, after thinking about it, it really lends credence to the assumption
we've all already had you are dealing with an extremely clever group whose plans
didn't include "slip-ups."
There were only two numbers that were interesting at all. In Vol. 16, page 40,
Oswald had the number PE -1951, FT Wth TV. When we check Ruby's phone calls, we
see that he called this number twice. (We watch this channel almost constantly and
l've never seen any advertising for the Carousel on it) Refer to Vol. 22, p. 517
and Vol. . 25, p. 252.
6-10-63 Ft. Worth PE 8-1951
I minute
$.35
6-11-63 Ft. Worth PE 8-1951 10 minutes 1.57
On page 58 of Ferrie's long distance calls, he called Chicago, WH 4-4970,
on Sept. 24, 1963. (I called Chicago and determined that this is the number for
Delaware Towers, 20 East Delaware, Chicago) This is apparently a hotel type
establishment near the Drake.
In Vol. 25, page 335, Lawrence Meyers (Ruby's friend), with Ero Manufacturing
Co., called this same number_
11-20-63 Chicago WH 4-4970 3 minutes
$1.70
The "additional information" tells us he cafled from Kansas City, Mo., at 9:09 a.m.
to Miss A. Asie in Room 1405. Now, Lawrence Meyers (a happily married man with 3 children,
according to his testimony in Vol. 25, pages 190 and 191) and his "girl friend", Miss
Jean Aase, arrived in Dallas that same night, Nov. 20th, at 8 p.m., and checked in at
x
the Ramada Inn (on Love Field) The next morning they moved to the Cabana Motel (on
the President's route to the Trade Mart). The Cabana is owned by Hoffa's bunch.
(You can read all of this in his statement but there is one little "funny'1 thing.)
On the morning of the assassination, he took his brother, Edward Meyers, up to McKinney
Texas, to show him their plant. They spent 20 or 30 minutes going through the plant.
