On August 2, 1968, I conducted a re-interview with
REV.
RAYMOND BROSHEARS. He told me that he had been informed
by a reporter named MURRY, who works with the Long Beach Police
Department, that intelligence officers had given information
to the local newspaper, The Long Beach Pres's, Telegram, and that
a forthcoming unfavorable article would be written about him.
MURRY told BROSHEARS this article would appear probably Sunday,
August 11th. I told BROSHEARS that I would write. an article
for the Los Angeles Free Press which would appear on Thursday,
August 8th, which would explain the possibility of an article
in the Long Beach Press Telegram, and therefore cancel any
disparaging effect which the article might have on his reputation.
(See attached article)
I showed a photograph of the man possibly known as
RALPH SHLATTER or "SKINNY RALPH" to REV. BROSHEARS. He said
that he was not sure, but he felt that he might have met this
man in New Orleans in one of the "gay bars". BROSHEARS said
that he felt that if this was the man, he was going by the name
of "RED" and was operating as a "hustler" in the gay or homo-
sexual underground.
I showed BROSHEARS the photograph of CLAY SHAW. He
recognized him immediately stating that he had known this man
in New Orleans, and had .met him in the compnay of DAVID FERRIE
SHAW:
in late August or early September of 1965. BROSHEARS said that
he was with DAVID FERRIE when he met CLAY SHAW. He said that
FERRIE introduce SHAW as either "CLARA' or on another occasion,
"BURT", or "CLAY".
BROSHEARS said that the first time he met this man
(CLAY SHAW) was in a bar called "Dixie's". At that time he
said the man was dressed in sport clothes, but later changed
into a coat and tie and the three of them went in a cab from
Dixie's to a restaurant which he said he would be able to locate
in New Orleans, but that he could not remember the name of the
restaurant at this time. BROSHEARS said that the first meeting
at Dixie's had taken place because FERRIE had told him he had
to go there to get some money.
