In answer to a subpoena, Bootsie Gay came into
the office on this date at about 2:45 p.m. She stated to
Soule and Mr. James Alcock that she resides at 528 Dumaine
Street, and is employed at Max Hills Painting Suppliers
located at 629 St. Peter Street - telephone: 523-9302.
She stated that just prior to the assassination
she was having G. WRAY GILL do some legal work of a civil
nature for her. She made several trips to GILL'S office
and observed DAVID FERRIE who had an office at GILL'S office,
and she understood that FERRIE was an investigator for GILL.
The day following the John Kennedy assassination,
a
Saturday, she (MRS. GAY) , went to GILL'S office and
observed that two female employees were cleaning out FERRIE'S
desk. She saw a chart or a sketch, and what caught her leye
was the fact that this chart had ELM written on what appeared
-to be a street There was also a building and on the street
was a square with letters "VIP" written in this square.
MRS. GAY stated that she remarked to the
receptionist that this should be turned over to the F.B.I.
The receptionist then picked it off the desk and threw it
in the trash can stating it was nothing.
MRS. GAY stated that she then took the document
from the trash can stating that she would give it to the F.B.I.
The receptionist then grabbed the document from Mrs. Gay's
hand and again threw it in the trash can.
MRS. GAY seemed to be about 60 years, reasonably
intelligent, slightly nervous and very cooperative. She
appears to be the type of individual that likes to see justice
prevail.
CAPT. FRED SOULE, SR.
