3 First Ferrie interrogation
JIM: (Holding out lit pipe) How could I? (Puffs on pipe) Dave, I
had you come in because I'd like to ask you a few questions. I talked
to your lawyer, Wray Gill, and he says you don't need him present. Is
that right?
FERRIE nods, lights cigarette, fumbles with it.
JIM: Dave, as you know, President Kennedy was assassinated on Friday.
A man named Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested as a suspect and then was
murdered yesterday by a man named Jack Ruby. We've heard reports that
Oswald spent the summer in New Orleans, and we're talking to people
who might be able to tell us something about him. We've been advised
that you knew Lee Oswald.
FERRIE: (Jumpy) No, no, that's not true. I never met anybody named
Oswald. Anybody who told you that has to be crazy.
JIM: (Calm and understated throughout) May I show you a photo of the
suspect? (Hands him a newspaper with Oswald's picture) I'm sure
you've seen this. Perhaps you knew this man under another name?
FERRIE: No, I never saw him before in my life.
JIM: (Unfazed) Well, that must have been mistaken information we got.
Thanks for straightening it out for us. (Inhales on pipe. FERRIE
