(2) practical joke on the Church. During. the last week in July, when Reber called me, he had already talked to Gary and they had formulated a plan trick me instead. Robert Byron Watson may also be a Jesuit and that whole thing may have been part of a trip to a) dump some dope dealing elements in the network and (b) set me off, which it did. (What Reber did not realize of course was that Gary really was the main assassin.) Now one of the other things about the Jesuit element is that it is extremely puritanical. I am a self-confessed exhibitionist and an extremely outspoken advocate of sexual freedom. One of the things the Jesuit group is into doing is making so-called "snuff films, movies in which the actress gets murdered -- porn movies that is, the idea being to give pornography a gross-out image. This is probably a little trick they picked up from the Manson Family, with which some of those posing as Marxists be- came associated in their foreign intelligence activities. I speculate on the basis of a number of vague indications that during the last weekend in July of 1975 Kirstein came to Atlanta with Jessica. Now an important back-up witness in my case against Gary is Grace Grace and I have known each other since 1961 in New Orleans, but she did not know Gary then. Grace has a friend named Elaine Falone (56 Brookhaven 30309/ 233-3605) who is extremely interested in "snuff films" and violence in the cinema. I don't know what her angle is. Pam Rymin, Reber Boult's friend, would also have been involved. Now Grace has always hated Jessica. She also has had a high level of resentment for me during the past couple of years for a number of reasons, and had no real understanding of my JFK assassination dilema. Twice I have posed for films in which I masturbated with & Re-consider no other subjects involved. One of these (made indoors) was possible KT taken by a gay guy named Andy Tanet who now lives in New connection Orleans. Another, made outdoors, was taken by a gay guy here with DF in Atlanta named John and both Eve Pearson and Nan Lynah were present. These are the only erotic movies in which I've ever been involved. It seems to me that one or the other of them could have easily fallen into Gary's hands. Briefly, I think what happened was that Gary, Reber, Pam, and possibly Elaine recruited Grace into assisting them in making a snuff film against an overlay back- drop setting of one of these two films involving me. Jessica as victim. From Gary's standpoint this is ideal. It gets rid of Jessica. It weirds everyone out about me, just as the manuscript did in 1968, and it implicates Grace in a homooide so she can be pressured into testifying against me or not testifying in support of my charges, at least. I am sure that Grace was involved in the making of such a film. I am sure that she met Gary sometime last summer, because she was totally freaked out when I described him physically to her. I am sure Elaine Falone knows something about it. What I am not sure about is whether or not Jessica was the
