After having coffee with Jack Martin, I pushed the
police report across the desk and let him look at it. I asked him
to tell me why Banister had pistol whipped him. The police
report's description of his beating seems to have sent the
adrenalin flooding through him. * He looked up, his face flushed
with injustice remembered.
"He accused me of going through his personal files.
That was a goddamned lie. When he came up with that I blew up
and told him what I'd seen there at the office all summer.
That's when he hit me with that big magnum of his. "
"And what had you seen at Banister's office all summer?"
Again Martin's response was unexpectedly direct. It was
as if he had been waiting three years for someone he trusted to
listen to him, as if what he had been wanting to say for so long
had fallen on deaf ears.
"Lee Oswald coming in and going out. And Dave Ferrie
running around like a crazy man. I watched the whole damned
circus."
"What was Guy Banister doing while all this was going
on?"
"Hell, he was the one running the circus. "
*
Martin's conversation with me also is discussed to some
extent later in Chapter 7.
