with adail plate years March 1, 1967 0 TO: JIM GARRISON FROM: JOHN VOLZ I had occasion to interview MR. CHARLES NOTO an ex- Levee Board Police Officer. He told me that he remembers arrest- ing LEE HARVEY OSWALD in October or November 1962, on Breakwater, Road, "the point" on the Lakefront in New Orleans. He made the may in arrest after noticing OSWALD and another white male whom he iden- tifies as CELSO HERNANDEZ from our photographs, together in a white panel truck at a late hour. He recalls the truck belonged to an electronics firm but cannot recall the name. At the time of the arrest OSWALD became very beligerant and went into a spiel about GESTAPO tactics and identified himself as being with Fair Play for Cuba. He demanded to see the officer in charge. Both OSWALD and HERNANDEZ were brought to Levee Board Police, Head- player quarters on the Lakefront, where after a "closed door' session with MARCEL CHAMPON, the officer in charge, he, CHAMPON told NOTO to release both men. HERNANDEZ had previously told the officers that he was employed by an electronics firm on Broad street and that the truck, Chevrolet or Dodge, belonged to it. No. NOTO further recalled that in October or November, 1962 he, NOTO, helped Immigration Officers surround a house in Lakeview on Spanish Fort Boulevard. (He can point out the house.) NOTO said that according to the Federal Agents, they were looking for Cuban refugees and he thinks that the agents told him that FERRIE D was suppose to fly them to Cuba. The only person in the house was a Spanish woman. Also present at that time were Ptn. ALBERT MANCUSO and SUPT. JOSEPH CRONIN. Present in the station at the time OSWALD and HERNANDES were brought in were PTN. ALBERT MANCUSO, JACK GLEBER and DAVID LOUSTEAU, ELDRID MACKIE was NOTO'S partner who participated in the arrest. CHARLES NOTO, 1233 Marigny Street, New Orleans, La., telephone number WH 9-4231. JOHN VOLZ
