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.
