to co DAPHNE said as best she can remember a "woman-drove pel old COR OSWALD-up to the Ryder Coffee House. She said the woman was an elderly woman with sort of gray hair in her 40's. DAPHNE said she aid not know the type OF car the woman was driving, but it appeared Lo be some sort of red sports car. She said that she has already talked to DAVE SNYDER of the New Orleans States-Item She believes he was sent to her by BILL SULZER (SULZER is related to NEENA SULZER who works in Louis Heyd's office. Possibly her father) I _asked her why SULZER sent SNYDER to her, and she said that she did not know except that SULZER was one of the people who had contact with LEE HARVEY OSWALD. She said that not after the for Florida DAPHNE and told said her assassination SULZER left to talk to anyone about LEE HARVEY OSWALD. to her knowledge she did not know whether or not LEE HARVEY OSWALD stayed in any of the apartments by the Ryder Coffee House for any length of time. She said that OSWALD also asked her if she knew "RED" She said that her husband's nickname is "RED", but she doesn't believe that OSWALD was referring to him. DAPHNE said that sone of the people who may be able ve us some information about OSWALD at the Ryder Coffee - are PATTY GLEASON, MATTHEW LOUVIERE, ARNOLD ECKLAND LOUIS-GOURGES, BRECK HENRY and LOUIS JACKSON. She said all of these people were around the Ryder Coffee House or lived there. DAPHNE STAPELTON seemed to be very anti-Communist and said that we should talk to HOWARD COWAN who was the head of a Marxist group around the coffee house. She said this group would get together and read Marxist poetry from time to time, and she indicated very strongly that COWAN would have a lot of information about LEE HARVEY OSWALD I asked DAPHNE what information she gave to DAVE SNYDER of the States-Item and she said "Not much.' She said SNYDER told her that he wanted to talk to her because the States- Item was going to prove that Garrison did not have a case, and that all he was interested in was a "witch hunt". DAPHNE STAPELTON, as I mentioned earlier, was physically ill and got out of the bed to talk to me. Because of her illness and her mother literally screaming and crying during our interview, the interview was rather difficult. I told her that I would be back to talk to her when she is feeling better and perhaps when she would be alone. She said she would be glad to talk to me because she has nothing to hide. It is interesting to recall TOMMY BAUMLER' remark to BARBARA REID that if District Attorney's office wants to find out about LEE HARVEY OSWALD they should look into his activities around the Ryder Coffee House, all fuck Frasien statements that KT went to discussions at Ryder weekly- Note HT states he Newer saw LHD his NO.
