going to say I'm ashamed of it because at the time I did it - that's it. But anyhow, I'm starving to death right now. When I talked to BALLARD IN Baltimore, BALLARD said that he knew nothing of ITKIN except that ITKIN came through Baltimore; ITKIN was a hypocritical egotistical little bastard who wanted to connect up with the old Catholic Church of which BALLARD claimed he was the Metropolitan Bishop. I have seen papers to this effect that say that BALLARD is the Metropolitan Bishop of it. But BALLARD said that he ,was - I did not ask BALLARD anything about New Orleans or anything of this nature. But as far as ITKIN in New Orleans, I know nothing - I knew nothing until last night that ITKIN had ever been to this particular area. I know ITKIN has a fantastic hatred. ITKIN is a homosexual - a rather flagrant homosexual, wanton. But ITKIN has never mentioned even being to this City. ITKIN is much younger than myself. I am 33. ITKIN, I would say, is closer to 27, maybe 28. He could be older, but I doubt very seriously. I'm sure Mr. Garrison knows. the Twentieth Century Reformation Church is McINTIRE's organization. They're associated with the BILLY JAMES *ODD HARGIS anti-Communist crusade, this Christian crusade that is throughout the South - the Bible Belt in which he rakes in the shekels from the "little lambs", And MCINTIRE is also associated with FRED SCHWARTZ in the City of Long Beach where I reside, and his anti- Communist Christian Crusade. FRED SCHWARTZ is about as anti-Communist as Fidel Castro. I have been asked questions by Mr. Jaffe concerning EDGAR EUGENE BRADLEY. EDGAR EUGENE BRADLEY as all well know, had purchased a bus ticket and said that he was en route and arrived, and knew nothing of the assassination of President Kennedy until he arrived in El Paso. As anyone knows, that particular route of the bus, BRADLEY - and any bus of the Greyhound or Trailways, you may get off any any designated stop, any place you want, and re-join another bus coming through later on, and no one knows the difference. And this is what allegedly happened with BRADLEY in the City of Dallas. I, myself, have done this on bus trips, and so I know it can be done. So BRADLEY's story there does not hold water because there is no one on the bus, if anyone who has travelled cross-country as BRADLEY claimes he was doing, if you travel cross-country with people and you do not get off a bus, people remember you regardless. I mean you strike up acquaintanceship, and I don't care if you are the most introverted person, this is the part of BRADLEY's story which proves conclusively to me that this man - of course this is my own personal opinion - this man is lying in this particular case. Of course, DAVID FERRIE had mentioned him casually, but I do want to point out this part about BRADLEY that there are pictures that I have looked at here that are quite shocking to me. I see a man which I knew as RED STOWE with EDGAR EUGENE BRADLEY. I thought -7-
