Re: FERRIE
SSN
March 3, 1967
TO:
JIM GARRISON, DISTRICT ATTORNEY
FROM:
JULIAN R. MURRAY, JR., ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY
RE:
KENNEDY ASSASINATION INVESTIGATION
On March 2, 1967, a MR. LOUIS JONES who is a victim in
a case which I am prosecuting in Section "B" came in to give some
information which he thought might be useful to our office. I
was unable to tell whether or not this information would be of
any value, but I thought I should pass it along to you for what-
ever it's worth.
MR. JONES explained to me that his father is an invalid
and it is therefore necessary that his mother, MRS. WILLIAM B.
JONES, hire male nurses to stay with him at all times. Somewhere
in January of 1965 they hired a male nurse who stayed with them
for about two months. MRS. JONES recalls that when she hired this
subject, he had a letter of recommendation from a person who pur-
ported to be either a psychiatrist or a psychologist whose last
name was FERRIE and who lived on Louisiana Avenue Parkway. The
subject whom she hired gave the name OF(JIMMIE JOHNSON and at the
time he informed her that he was living with MR. FERRIE at his
apartment on Louisiana Avenue Parkway. She said that she could
not remember much about this subject except that he was very
effeminate. She still has her cancelled check with which she
paid him his salary in January of 1965, and she also has his
social security number which was 420-56-5635.
MR. JONES requests that if anyone in our office cares
to speak with his mother about this matter, that we contact him
first. He pointed out that she was an elderly person with a heart
condition and he is afraid that a lot of questioning would greatly
upset her unless he were present.
