involved in the assassination. *
On Sunday afternoon we gathered in my office -- senior
assistant District Attorneys and investigators -- two days after
President Kennedy's murder. Such a weekend meeting -- whenever a
crime had occurred on the national scene which had leads trailing
to New Orleans -- had become a custom with my staff. Although I
personally had no argument with the official lonely assassin
scenario so rapidly taking shape through the media, I was not
free to ignore the fact of Lee Harvey Oswald's unexplained three
months in the city preceding the assassination.
It was in the course of checking out all possible
associates of Oswald's in the city that we came across his having
been seen during the summer with a man named David Ferrie. A
routine review of our files revealed a police report based upon a
complaint against Ferrie. (The complaint, a misdemeanor, had
been refused for presecution because the incident involved not
Orleans Parish but a neighboring parish). Now I had my people on
the telephones to develop the specifics of a possible Oswald-
Ferrie relationship.
*At the time of this first revelation from Jack Martin, who was
deathly afraid of Guy Banister, the latter was still alive.
It
would not be until three full years later that Martin would
reveal -- in a series of lengthy conversations with me -- the
awesome story of the activity at Banister's office, and the
individuals involved, during the summer of 1963. See Chapter 3,
THE MAN UNDER THE OAK TREE.
