On July 27, 1968, at approximately 8:30 p.m., Mr.
Mark Lane and myself went to visit Rev. RAYMOND BROSHEARS at
his Long Beach address on Orange Avenue. According to an
arrangement made with him by telephone, we visited him to
discuss his association with DAVID FERRIE, his knowledge of
the assassination of President Kennedy which he gained from
DAVID FERRIE, and the television appearance he made on a Los
Angeles television show called "The Stan Bohrman Show". (See
memorandum of July 10, 1968) .
We asked REV. BROSHEARS to tell us about his stay
in New Orleans. Mr. BROSHEARS said that in 1965 he came to
New Orleans from East St. Louis having worked there with the
Congress of Racial Equality under a man who was an executive
in that organization named MR. RANDOLPH. Mr. RANDOLPH had
given him the names of several people in the same organization
in Bogalousa. After going to Bogalousa, REV. BROSHEARS had
been stopped by officers. from the Louisiana State Police and
interrogated. He said, "I was beat up." The REV. BROSHEARS
came to New Orleans.
BROSHEARS said that he came to New Orleans knowing no
one here, however, he had come here to escape his problems.
REV. BROSHEARS said that he registered at a hotel
which had no name, which- was across from the Continental
Trailways Bus Station. He said he registered under the name of
EARL RAYMOND ALLEN. Shortly after his coming to New Orleans,
he met DAVID FERRIE. BROSHEARS said that he met FERRIE at a
bar which was known in the French Quarter as a homosexual bar
FERAIE:
called'"Dixie's". He said that he also associated with DAVID
FERRIE at another bar known as "LaFitte's in Exile".
