CHET HUNTLEY: "There were new developments today in New Orleans
District Attorney Jim Garrison's investigation of the assassination of President
Kennedy. Part of Garrison's case against Clay Shaw is in testimony that Shaw, under
the alias of Clay Bertrand, met with Lee Harvey Oswald and conspired to commit
the crime.
"Today, New Orleans lawyer, Dean Andrews who first brought up the name
Clay Bertrand, told NBC Reporter Walter Sheridan that Shaw Is not Bertrand."
SHERIDAN: "Did you tell the Warren Commission that a man named Clay
Bertrand had called you to ask about the possibility of your defending Lee Harvey
Oswald ?"
AN DREWS: "Yes ."
SHERIDAN: 'Was Clay Bertrand his real name
ANDREWS: 'Well.... "
SHERIDAN: 'What was his real name?"

and Wanda Stomp's "Wanda's girl' between Bourbon Street and Royal back by
Exchange alley, maybe 40, 50 feet off of Royal Street,..."
