OFFICE OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY
STATE OF LOUISIANA
PARISH OF ORLEANS
April 18, 1967
STATEMENT OF:
DAVID F. GENTRY
922 Dumaine Street
New Orleans, Louisiana
INTERROGATED
BY: :
OFFICERS KENT SIMMS and CLIENCY NAVARRE
IN RE:
DR. MARY SHERMAN and
SPECIAL INVESTIGATION
Dr. SHERMAN camein the shop I would say
occasionally, not frequently, but I can look up on the ledger
and see. She never made any extensive or large purchases.
I
was never in her apartment. If she ever came to the shop with
anyone, it was possibly with someone who lived in the same
apartment complex in which she lived. Probably the entire time
she lived at 3101 St. Charles Avenue she came in the shop, and
she was in the shop the late afternoon before she was murdered.
I do not know any of her friends.
I don't recall my first meeting with CLAY SHAW.
However, it was probably in '58 or '59. The original interest in
meeting was through business at the International Trade Mart
and the possibility of purchasing and restoring Vieux Carre
property myself. I am a designer of interiors and interior
furnishings and I am also Director of the Oriental Gallery at
the 20th Century Shop. One other person that I do know through
the International Trade Mart and CLAY SHAW, is J. B. DAUENHAUER,
But only through the Trade Mart and through CLAY do I know J. B.
I moved to 4919 Magazine Street in February of
1961. I don't recall, or don't know the date that OSWALD moved
into 4907 Magazine Street. I never had occasion to speak to him
(OSWALD) but passed him on several occasions going to Rex Layndry
and Dry-cleaners. I don't recall ever seeing him untidy or with
a
beard. Then on December 15th of 1964, I moved back to the
Quarter.
The Sunday before Mardi Gras of 1965, CLAY
attended a buffet party that afternoon in my apartment at 619
Gov. Nichols. After moving back to the Quarter, I did see CLAY
passing on the street, or once in a while at the Coffee Shop
Restaurant on St. Peter next to Pat O'Brien's. I can't recall
the number of times that I have. Not that frequently. But there
have been times I have been in CLAY's apartment for drinks. It
was at 1313 or 1331 Dauphine. I am not sure. The first few
times it was just for drinks. The gathering that would have been
