Q. In the front apartment where you found this envelope, do you
know who was living in this apartment?
A. No, there was a man living there but I didn't know him. He
was about 36 years old, about 5'11, about 160 pounds. He
was staying in the front apartment at the time we tore the
apartment down.
After I got my coffee and came back to the building,
the old man who was living downstairs told me that he was given
all of the stuff that was upstairs by the boy who lived there.
They also had a cot upstairs which had a suitcase under it.
I
looked in this suitcase and it contained a lot of papers. I
didn't know what was on any of these papers. The boys who were
working for us moved all of the stuff that was left upstairs
downstairs and stacked it in front of the old man's apartment.
This old man and his wife who lived downstairs were getting ready
time. My father-in-law, CHANEY KNOX, and two
white to move boys at who this stayed in one of the load apartments all of the upstairs old man's toward
the rear helped my father-in-lav things
on the truck including all of the things that were given to him
by the boy in the front apartment. I found out later from my
father-in-lav that all of this stuff was brought to a house on
Tulane Avenue and I will find out tomorrow where this house is
from my father-in-law.
While wrecking this building I saw people picking up
dishes and curtains, but I didn't think any people lived there.
It took about seven or eight days to tear down the
house and then we cleaned up.
I didn't know the old man who was living in the apart-
ment at the building we were tearing down. He was about 55 years
old, a little over five feet. He was short and thin, weighed
about 130 pounds, grey headed. I'd know him again if I saw him.
It was around the beginning of January that I called
down here. I contacted the District Attorney's Office because I
saw the name Dallas on one of the pictures and on the tablet and
the names in the tablet looked like they could have been in the
investigation. In the beginning of January after I spoke to
REV. ERNEST DAY about what I found in the building, I called the
District Attorney's Office and spoke to a policeman. I don't
remember his name, but when I saw REVEREND DAY, I told him the
name of the person I spoke to in the District Attorney's Office.
I think he remembers the name of the policeman who I spoke to.
I left my address and telephone number with this policeman and he
said that someone would contact me. Nobody contacted me so
shortly after that I started packing to go to Ponchatoula. At
that time I looked for the tablet that I had found in the building
and I couldn't find it. I moved some of my things up there with
me in Ponchatoula. When I got to Ponchatoula, the job fell
through so I came back to New Orleans. I was living on Wilson
Street in Jefferson Parish at that time.
In the middle of March 1967, I was on Mistletoe Street
next to GEORGE SMALL's Motel, talking to a group of fellows and
we started talking about the investigation and I brought up the
subject about me calling the District Attorney's Office and
Relations
