Re: DAVID CLAY SHAW FERRIE
BROSHEAAS #4
KENRY THORNIAY
THOMAS BECKHAM
CUBANS
Q.
State your name on the tape recorder.
A.
RAYMOND BROSHEARS.
Q.
How did you meet MARTIN?
A.
MARTIN's been in for so long, Nebraska's used to him.
l-
RAYMOND BROSHEARS, why don't you tell us when you
arrived in New Orleans in '65?
A.
It was shortly thereafter I left the Bogalusa
demonstrations down there and got stoppad by one of
the Louisiana State Troopers. I was doing Civil
Rights work in Bogalusa. I was with the Congress of
Racial Equality at that time. I come down here.
I
was still in bad shape from having
when I was here befora and then I got stopped. And I
come on down to New Orleans cause I didn't know any
whare else to go. I was waiting to contact -- waiting
for a contact from MR. FARMER from New York City.
MR. FARMER was supposed
in New Orleans at the time. So I was here and this
was in August.
And this was in August, right at the first of August.
And I gravitated into your underground down here
because I didn't have money one so to speak. I
arrived at the Continental Trailways bus depot over
on Tulane at that time. I assume it's still there.
And there was a little hotel -- and that's al the
sign had out front was "Hotel" and it was just down
the street from it. And I figured with a sign like
that it had to be a cheap place so I got a place at
the cheap hotel. And I got it under the name EARL
RAYMOND ALLEN, not RAYMOND BROSHEARS cause I had gotten
into a little bit of trouble up North doing Civil
Rights work under the name RAYMOND BROSHEARS and I was
pretty upset. I didn't know which way to turn. I had
lost the church, I lost the family, everything over it.
So I thought I'd go back to EARL RAYMOND ALLEN. EARL
RAYMOND ALLEN is the name I was born with -- my mother,
in one of her mad moments had it changed to one of her
many mad husbands.
Q.
What is this name?
A.
EARL RAYMOND ALLEN.
Q.
EARL RAYMOND ALLEN. All right.
