When we asked REV. BROSHEARS if he felt that DAVID
FERRIE worked for "Deacons for Defense and Justice".
As a result of his appearance on the Los Angeles
television program on the 8th of July, 1968, BROSHEARS was
visited by Secret Service Agent TOM HORN. BROSHEARS was told
that he would lose his pension if he appeared on another such
televion program. BROSHEARS was threatened by Agent HORN, and
was told that he would "end up in Alameda Bay" if he did not
keep his mouth shut. BROSHEARS said that he was- in constant
touch with Agent JOE CONLIN from the Federal Bureau of Investi-
gation Office in Long Beach. He also said that he was in touch
with a LT. JOHN COWAN of the Long Beach Police Department and
also SGT. CHARLES USERY of that police department. SGT. USERY,
according to BROSHEARS, has knowledge' about the murder of a
reporter which took place in the Long Beach Police Department.
The reporter's name was BILL HUNTER from Dallas, Texas.
Two Long Beach Police Department intelligence detectives
is
have also befriended BROSHEARS for the purpose, he believes, of,
graduating
keeping an eye on him. These are GARY COVIN and JOHN OWEN.

When we asked if REV. BROSHEARS knew a DR. THOMAS.

BECKHAM, BROSHEARS stated that he did indeed know DR. BECKHAM,
that he had corresponded with DR. BECKHAM, and produced a
photograph of BECKHAM in which he was shown as an entertainer
The personal management office of BECKHAM was listed under the
name of FRED LEE CRISMAN.
Other information which BROSHEARS gave us in response
to several questions was:
:
A) BROSHEARS had been extremely upset because Agent RUFUS
YOUNGBLOOD of the Secret Service Office had told him in
the last week of March, 1966, that DAVID FERRIE was dead.
This was before BROSHEARS left Gulfport Hospital. YOUNGBLOOD
had told him that DAVID FERRIE had committed suicide, and
that therefore it would not be necessary for BROSHEARS to
ever try and find FERRIE again.
It was not until just prior
to
our meeting on Wednesday, July 23, 1968, that BROSHEARS had
learned of FERRIE's death in January of 1967. BROSHEARS said
that he had obviously been told falsely that FERRIE had died
by Agent YOUNGBLOOD.
B) BROSHEARS said that DAVID FERRIE had friends and family in
Cincinnati, Ohio.
c)
We explained that Garrison's investigation had not begun
until November of 1966, and that therefore the men who had
represented themselves as being from the District Attorney'
Office in 1965 had represented themselves falsely. BROSHEARS
said, "These weren't Garrison's men in DAVID's hotel room."
BROSHEARS asked us if we knew the name ROBERT DUVALL (spelling
unsure) - He said DAVID flew him to one of the Central
American countries, and was sexually intimate with him.
