That while appearing on this program I stated that a member of Jim Garrison's staff, one Robert E. Lee, had offered me $2,500 for testimony to the ef- fect that Clay Shaw used my turkish bath and that on those occasions he used the name Clay Bertrand. I further related how Mr. Garrison's office attempted to get me to identify a young white male, who accompanied Shaw to the baths, as Lee Har- vey Oswald. I now state freely and volun- tarily and without any promises of reward or immunity that the statements I made on the NBC program relative to Garrison's office offering me a bribe for testimony favorable to their case was a lie. I am making this statement af- ter serious thought and long de- liberation principally to clear the name of Robert E.

My conscience would not allow me to defame and impugn the character of Mr. Lee and� the office of Jim Garrison any longer. I would like to state the rea- sons for which I appeared on the NBC show and lied about my contacts with the District At- torney's office. First, I receiv- ed numerous anonymous threat- ening phone calls relative to the information that I had given Mr. Garrison. The gist of these calls was to the effect that if I did not change my statement and state that I had been bribed by Jim 'Garrison's office, land my fami- _ ly would be In physical danger._:.. In addition to the anonymous phone calls, I was visited by A man who exhibited a badge and stated that he was a government agent.

This man then inquired whether I was the Mr. Leemans involved in the -Clay Shaw case. When I in- formed him that I was, he said that it was not smart to be in- volved because a lot of people that had been got hurt and that people in powerful places would see to it that I was taken care of.

Mr. Dymond and Mr. Sheridan sug- ,gested that I appear on the show and state what I had originally told Mr. Dymond about thebribe offer by the District Attorney's Office. I was informed by Mr. Dy- mond that should the District Attorney's office charge me with giving false information as a � result of my repudiating the statement I had originally given them, he would see to it that I had an attorney and that a bond would be posted for me.

Shaw on a per- jury charge. Garrison filed the charge two days after Shaw was ac- quitted in 1969 of conspiring to assassinate President John F. Kennedy. It accused Shaw of lying dur- ing his conspiracy trial when he testified he did not know � Lee Harvey Oswald, accused . slayer of Kennedy, or the late� � David Ferrie, named by Gar- rison as a coconspirator. ansison Appeals haw. Trial Ban " � By FRED BARNES - Star-1 Staff Writer New Orleans District Atter:- --ney.-Jim Garrison :has; asked Supreme -Court to � lift an . . injunction..that bars him frIam. . prosecuting Clay Shaw on. per- jury charges. In a petition filed with the. - high court yesterday, Garrison � argued that -a federal judge !, overstepped his authority - when- he � blocked' the Shaw trial in May 1971. The Supreme " Cottrt, Cur- rently- in . summer recess; is not expected. to� announce for several months whether. it will bear the Garrison appeal. ' � The New Orleans prosecutor attempted to try Shaw for per- jury after Shaw.was acquitted - of ch_arges. also brought by Garrison, that he conspired to" assassinate President John E. Kennedy. � Actilig-,. In Bad Faith � Garr is on contended that Shaw, a New Orleans busi- nessman, lied during the con- spiracy trial when he denied bating known Lee Harvey Os- Wald . and David Ferrie, the ' *alleged co-conspirators In the Plot to kill Kennedy. But a federal judge, acting at Shaw's request, ruled that 'Garrison was acting in bad faith.. in pressing the perjury charge. The judge barred the *perjury --trial and that ruling � was later upheld by the Court of Appeals in New Or- leans. � *.* In his -"petition to the -Su- preme Court; Garrison said that the lower court ruling "if . allowed to stand, would serve to destroy. the well-recognized public policy. against federal intervention In state criminal prosecutions." . "It would seem to be appro- priate � through the medium of this important case � for this court to put to rest the � vexatious problem as to the � right of the federal courts to -enjoin state-court . criminal - prosecutions," .Garrison said. � Effect Of Advancing Religion Meanwhile, .the Supreme � Court was asked Yesterday to ..reiristate a Pennsylvania law I that provides for a reimbtirs4- ' "nient to parents -for tuition � paid for children in nonpublic: .'schoolS, � . .. The ' had been scheduled to go into effect this . fall, was ruled unconstitutional last April by a three-judge fed- eral panel in Philadelphia. The; .- panel said the-reimbursements � �. would have the primary effect ;of advancing religion: The law sets payments of . $75 for each child in elementa- ry school and $15(l for each one in secondary school. � .. The request that the-law be reinstated was.. filed" by the .1 state Of PennsylVahla and a group of Parents.in the state. � . In their Petition; .they cori- - tended that :the law 4'pI2inly has no primary effect that ad- vances religion." They also argued that parents who are not getting reimbursements have been denied equal protec- tion under the law. � � � _ _4/ .7- S 64(7) ONFC11011 0,T,LASSIF ICA rinti 09Nnt :.AS !PIS OrItUVIENT Nor- �01111���� 1;IrV!'

Mr. Garrison has said for years that Mr. Shaw had been involved in a conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy, but a jury IrTgriaruitt Mr. Shaw on conspiracy charges. Mr. Garrison then charged him with perjury, contending he had lied on the witness stand When he said he knew nothing of a conspiracy. The order blocking Mr. Gar- rison from prosecution was handed down by Judge Herbert W.

Judge Christenberry said this financial interest came from Mr. Garrison's book, ,"Heritage of Stone," which i concerns his investigation of ;the Kennedy assassination. i "Al I can say is that it's ,wonderful." said Mr. Shaw. "I haven't seen what the judge said. I just don't know what to say." "This is tile first that we've heard about it," said Assistant District Attorney Andrew Sci- ambra. "We're surprised at it.

Kennedy. The New Or- leans District Attorney's quest for con- :spirators in the murder of the President.., had all but dropped out of the newspapers. And, for a moment, it seemed that it might drop right out of court as well. Two months ago, 55-year-old retired New Orleans businessman Clay Shaw �one of the alleged "co-conspira- tors" named by Garrison�ob- tained a temporary stay of pros- ecution�and then he asked a three-judge Federal panel to make the order permanent. But � the panel ruled last week that Shaw "muit first seek vindication of his rights in the state courts"� and with that the DA's prosecu- tion was suddenly very much : alive again. The ruling made it virtually certain that Shaw would, after all, stand trial for conspiracy to kill John Kennedy, probably this September. Shaw, who still reg- ularly turns up in New Orleans's French Quarter, received the news with resignation�even though it inevitably meant an in- definite extension of the night- mare that has plagued him in the seventeen months he has been ; - awaiting trial. "I find the .worst time is : when' I firs w told NEWS- WEEK'S q n.h j neswortl last week. . "Then as t e rogresses, I read, do .1. this and that d m mind gets. somewhat ; diverted fro the basic situation." Shaw, ; who says he has used up most of his savings fighting the case, has developed some fresh nervous habits�a sudden twitch, a jerky way of chain-smoking, I and a peculiar nervous laugh. Conclusion: But neither side was " laughing last week. The District Attor- ney's chief prosecutor, James Alcoa.. ; call?cl the. Federal panel's ruling "a sound �� legal opinion." But the normally loqua- cious D.A. was curiously quiet. Some of. - 46-year-old Garrison's large band of crit- ics were not long in offering their own reasons for hi:: silence. Big Tim, they spec- ulated, was no happier than Clay Shaw about brining his bizarre case to its logical�or illogical�conclusion in court. Newsweek TD�23 .P.Ugust 2 1968 THE LAW DISTRICT ATTORNEYS Jolly Green Giant in Wonderland Until 1966, New Orleans Parish Dis- trict Attorney Jim Garrison was a square. He was a hawk on Viet Nam. He was satisfied that the Federal Gov- ernment was made up of relatively - arable men. He even believed the War- ren Commission Report Thcn one day Louisiana Senator Russell Long sug- gested that the Warren Report had se- rious holes in it. Intrigued, Garrison began reading everything he could find on the presidential assassination, includ- ing all 26 volumes of the documents and report i that had been sifted by the commission. His thinking on everything changed. � Others had reached similar conclusions, but Garrison was different. He was the first conspiracy addict with the power to do more than talk. Financed by a group of New Or- leans businessmen, he set to work. One assistant, Jim Alcock, concentrated on the legalities of the case; a second, Andy ("Moo") Sciambra, handled the field work. After months of investi- gation, Garrison finally announced that he had "solved the assassination." Lee Harvey Oswald, he said, was only a decoy and a patsy. "The key to the whole case is through the looking glass. Black is white; white is black." A right- wing conspiracy involving some 20 anti- Castroites, ex-CIA agents and members of the Minutemen had killed Jack Ken- nedy in Dallas' Dealey Plaza area be- cause he was moving towards a d�nte with both Cuba and the U.S.S.R. Garrison promised to name names, make arrests and get convictions. He did just that�or at least he began. He arrested- Clay Shaw, a retired bachelor r businessman well known at several les,- els of New Orleans society, high and ..� low. Shaw,_Garrison said, was really . one Clay Bertrand, whose name cropped up in the Warren Report. As Bertrand, he said, Shaw had met with three men, including one Leon Oswald, and con- , spircd to kill President Kennedy. Jury Time. That was 16 months ago, � and Garrison's allegations were so sen- sational and so persuasive that the Louis Harris Po:1 reported that the number of Americans who questioned the War- ren Repo:: rose from 44% to 66%. i Garrison, whose size (6 ft. 6 in.) and flamboyance have won him the, nick- name "Jolly Green Giant," is a district ------- attorney who prides himself on a high conviction rate. Yet little has happened since Shaw's arrest. Even some of his � supporters are beginning to ask, just what kind of case does he have against Shaw? Does he have evidence against others? Wi:: he have as much to say in court as he has :lac: to say outside it? Last week those questions seemed more timely than ever, for a three- judge federal court ruled unanimously that Garrison could proceed with his 'prosecution. Shaw's lawyers, tr:�ing ev- ery possibility, had asked the court to issue an injunction barring action by Garrison. Such an injunction was tem- porarily granted so that the arguments could be heard, but the federal judges ultimately could find no legal basis for stepping in to block what is, after all, a state criminal proceeding. As a. result, Shaw must face a jury. Perhaps as im- portant, .so must Garrison. Exceptional Crew. Inevitably, the Jolly Green Giant has become a sort of defendant himself. Critics have beat- en a path to his door; TV commen- tators and magazine writers have ac- cused him of bribing wi nesses and threatening them or i fl ncing them under hypnosis Latest t *oin the at- tack has bee ward Ja' Ins cm him- self a critic o cport (In- quest). In a minutely ta ed article in The New Yorker Epste'n systematically shredded almost every piece of evi- dence that Garrison has put forward. Epstein claims that Garrison even told his men at one .cady_ltoint_in the in- � vestigation to fozget about Shaw. Non- sense, reply the Garrison inVarators. Epstein and the other critics could not possibly know how good the case against Shaw is, since there is a mass of evidence yet to be revealed. Still, the critics, particularly Epstein, do raise serious questions about Gar- rison's tactics. Straining the likelihood of coincidence, Garrison has time. and again met the publication of a major at- tack by dropping a bombshell to cap- ture headlines that might otherwise have gone to the critics. On the day one cri- tique was published, for instance, Gar- rison charged the CIA and the FB1 with - concealing evidence. When Epstein's piece appeared, Garrison announced the existence of an assassination study made by a foreign intelligence agency that agreed with the findings of his inves- tigators. He frankly admitted that the timing of the news of the report was de- signed to rebut Epstein. Insane. If some of Garrison's tactics seem litIbit)IIN. MUM! of the characters . he has gathered around him seem even stranger. 1 le has opened his files to Mark Lane, Harold Weisberg, Mort � Sahl and other Warren Commission crcs (they call themselves the Dealey Plaza Irregulars). And he has also based many of his verbal charges on the sto- _s of an exceptional crew of weirdos, convicts nnri � _ men with offenses that pet y thievery and bribery. A New Orleans They include such well-known mem- bers as hairless David Ferric, the ho- mosexual onetime pilot who died just before Shaw's arrest, and Drug Addict Perry Russo, whose story of having seen Shaw and Oswald together was se- verely compromised by disputed claims that he was under the influence of hyp- � nosis truth scrum when he final- ly, rem red the complete details. Others iicraude Donald Norton, who � claimed tettavc delivered S50,000 for the CIA to a "dead ringer for Oswald" . in Mexico in 1962:i Garrison eventu- ally Stopped repeating' the story when � it turned out that Norton was a con- victed embezzler. Richard Case Nagell, � an inmate in a hospital for the crim- inally insane, said he had got himself . jailed so that he would not have to carry out .-14 part of plot, which . was to kill-Oswald; Garrison repeated the talc pa.; he was finally convinced. that Nagglo,was not credible. Just as disturbing is Garrison's treat- � ment of those who refuse to help him. He has charged no fewer than eight inc 1u de � lawyer named Dean Andrews has al- ready been sentenced to 18 months for perjury. Each of these Garrison targets � has been accused of having information useful to the investigation, but none has been accused of actually having any- thing to do with the assassination. In- deed, despite his boast of having solved the case, Garrison has yet to charge any- one but Shaw. Nonetheless, as Garrison quite prop- erly points out, until the trial takes place the only one who knows the strength of his case is Jim Garrison him- self. His friends in New Orleans like to � remember that he has won many a , tough one [pre. Hc cleaned out the � well-entrenched B-girls on Bourbon , � Street and -els� took on eight local judges, winning the right to criticize � them in the U.S. Supreme Court. On the other side, local enemies, of whom he has his share, recall that he was dis- charged from the Army for mental rea- sons and that he has a sister who has been hospitalized as a schizophrenic. Though political gain has been sug- gested as a motive for his undertaking, almost everyone who takes the time to .talk to him comes away with the im- pression that he is sincere. Charming and forceful, he presses his case with compelling ease.

Shaw, invalidating the scheduled June 11 com- mencement. Federal District Judge Frederick J. - R. Heebe issued a temporary restraining order against DA Jim Garrison and his two principal assistants. The order was sought in a suit filed by Shaw's attorneys, in which they also asked that a special three-judge federal court be convened and that preliminary and permanent injunctions be is- sued against further prosecution. The suit additionally asks that the Warren Commission on the assassination of President Ken- - nedy be declared valid and binding on all courts in " the nation. In his restraining order, Judge Heebe held that Shaw's complaint alleging violation of his constitutional rights "raises real issues of al- leged deprivations of liberty through the actions of the state." Under federal procedure, Judge Heebe will ask the chief judge of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to designate two other judges to sit with him to hear the Shaw complaints. Meanwhile, in a separate ruling, Judge Heebe signed an order allowing attorneys for Shaw to take depositions from members of the DA's staff and others who have been involved in investigation of the case. Garrison, in a subsequent news conference, at- tacked the restraining order as "another example of federal interference" with his inquiry, "and a power play by the government to suppress the facts." He released a photograph of accused killer Lee Harvey Oswald in a rivil "rt7o1 uniform, and another which the :,ziL; shows the late David L: Ferrie in fatigues, together with a group of unidentified persons assertedly taken at a Civil Air Patrol function. The DA claims that the fedelal government has attempted to suppress the Oswald picture, and that Ferrie initiated Oswald, into the CIA through the CAP. 3 40.0.� On Shaw District Attorney Jim Garrison today criticized a temporary restraining order blocking the con- spiracy trial of Clay L. Shaw, calling the order outrageous and unprece- dented interference by the federal government. The order, issued yesterday by Federal District Judge Frederick J. R. Heebe, post- pones indefinitely the trial of Shaw, accused of conspiring to kill President John F. Ken- nedy. GARRISON, in a lengthy prepared statement, charged that the restraining order is , just another example of the federal government's interfer- : ence with his probe of the Kennedy assassination. The DA - said the federal government has a special in- terest in the outcome of the case because it does not want "it known that it conducted a fraudulent inquiry, using al- tered evidence and false evi- dence to fool the people of this country." He called the conclusions of the Warren Commission fraud- ulent and said: "Another reason that the federal government has a spe- cial interest in this case�and should therefore keep its large nose out of it � is the very !. deep involvement of agents of the Central Intelligence Agen- cy.

"The concealment of the involvement of the CJA.- was the major objectiv of the false federal investigation and the false inquiry by the War- ren Commission. Many peo- ple in this country still do not know that the CIA�which is completely uncontrolled by Congress�has been engaged in the assassination business for some years," Garrison said. Garrison said that the gov- ernment has interfered with HE SAID the federal courts I have no jurisdiction whatso- ever in the case and� are part of a Dower alas, to interfere in matters bef or e the state courts. Shaw had been scheduled to go to trial June 11 on the charge which grew out of Gar- rison's probe. Judge Heebe's order, hand- ed down :yesterday, restrains Garrison and his staff from prosecuting Shaw pending fur- ther orders from the court. The order was sought in a suit filed Monday by Shaw's at- torneys. The suit also asked that preliminary and perma- nent injunctions against Gar- rison and his staff be issued. The suit also asked that the findings of the Warren Com- mission Report on the Kennedy assassination be declared valid and admissable as evidence to all courts in the country. JUDGE REESE Said Shaw's complaint raises "real issues of alleged deprivations of lib- erty through the actions of the state." The complaint, read as a whole, Judge Heebe said, "pre- sents much more than a recita- tion of isolated wrongs, but im- pugns the entire prosecution. against the petitioner and at- tempts to raise the actions of the defendants, prior to and during the criminal proceed- ings, to the level of a concert- ed pattern of persecution of the petitioner and the wholesale and willful disregard of the peti- tioner's constitutional rights." Judge Heebe said that be- cause there is a likelihood that Shaw "may prevail on the mer- its" and because Shaw's com- plaint a-ltacks the constitution-, ity of various "pertinent Lou- isiana statutes, a three-judge � - court is required in this rit.A.Z, ter . . ." THE JUDGE said it would not be possible for such a court to be convened and a hearing concluded before the scheduled trial date. Under federal procedure, Judge Heebe will now ask Chief Judge John R. Brown of the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Ap- peals to designate two other judges to sit with him to hear the Shaw suit. In his statement also said: "After President Kennedy began removing troops from Vietnam, executed the nu- clear test ban treaty, began reaching an understanding with Russia, began reaching an understadig with Cuba� all in the interests of ending the Cold War�and began to "We do not need the help: institute controls on the pre- of the federal government in viously uncontrolled CIA, he � leading us from our wicked was killed in an ambush by' ways to the paths of righteous- men connected with the De- ness."- partment of Convert Activity. ,Judge Heebe today signed -an -order allowing attorneys for Shaw to - take pre-trial depositions from Assstant Dis- trict Attorneys Anthony Sci- - Garrison _ -4r - - "THIS MAY BE hard to believe�we found it hard to believe at first�but the evi- dence is unavoidable once you get behind the fake in- vestigation. � "It should be added that the top command of the CIA did not know this was going � to happen�but this has not kept the rest of the govern- ment from concealing the truth. "Just where is their `reign of terror' which is supposed to justify this federal inter- � verition? "IF THE CASE of the State of Louisiana is as fraudulent as Shaw's attorneys pretend, why not let him go to trial and be acquitted? Why is there suddenly such loss of faith in trial by jury? "The reasons given by the federal district judge for re- straining us from going to trial as scheduled are plain- ly and merely excuses to sup- port an unauthorized federal intervention in the judicial process of Louisiana. ' "Although the words used by the federal court purport 111-1r"F" to indicate deep concern for the protection of the defend- ant's rights from persecution by the prosecutor, the fact is that it's well known that my : office has never had a case' reversed for improper meth- ods.

She has refused to come to, New Orleans but agreed to give a deposition in Iowa. THE TIMES-PICAYUNE Nev Orleans La. � 29 May 1968 Judge Heebe Issues Order to Halt Prosecution of Shawl vio 1Specia1 U.S. Court to suit which complains that if Garrison is not enjoined from Hear Suit Asked prosecuting he will be de- prived of his constitutional rights. The special court will be made up of Judge Heebe, an- other federal district judge, and a judge of theiFifth Circuit. Judge Heebe issued the tem- porary order at 2:10 p. m., after conferring with ottorneys for Shaw and members of the district attorney's staff. REASONS FOR ORDER In his reasons for issuing the order, Judge Heebe said that the Shaw complaint "read as a whole, presents much more than a recitation of isolated wrongs, but impugns the- entire prose- cution against the petitioner and attempts to raise the ac- tions of the defendants, prior to and during the criminal pro- ceedings, to the level of a con- certed pattern of persecution of the petitioner and the whole- sale and willful disregard of the petitioner's constitutional rights." Judge Heebe said that the .thrust of the allegations con- tained in Shaw's suit against Garrison and his assistants raises serious questions con- cerning the relationship between the Federal District Court and the Louisiana Criminal District Court "and indeed between federal and state courts across the nation." He added "whenever a fed- eral court stays the hand of a state official, the delicate bal- ance of comity, so necessary and wholesome for our federal system, is likely to be dis- turbed." District Attorney Jim Garri- son's prosecution of 55-year-old businessman Clay L. Shaw on charges of conspiring to murder ' President John F. Kennedy was halted Tuesday by Federal Dis- trict Judge Frederick J. R. Heebe. Judge Heebe issued a tem- porary restraining order against Garrison and his two principal assistants, James L Alcock and Charles R. Ward. The restraining order was sought in a suit filed Monday by Shaw's attorneys in whicb they also ask that a special three-judge Federal Court be convened and that preliminary and permanent injunctions be issued against further prosecu- tion. Alcock said he was mystified by the decision, adding that it dampened "my optimism about bringing Shaw to trial." Referring to the question of jurisdiction, Alcock told news- man: "This is totally unprec- edented in federal and state relations." The suit additionally asks that the Warren Commission Report on the assassination of Presi- dent Kennedy be declared valid and binding on all courts in the nation. JUDGE'S RULING Judge Heebe held Tuesday in his restraining order t ha t Shaw's complaint raises "real issues of alleged deprivations of liberty through the actions of the state."

Shaw. Shaw is charged with con- spiring to assassinate Presi- dent John F. Kennedy, and the action taken by Judge Freder- ick Heebe probably will at � least delay Shaw's trial, sched- uled to start June 11. Heebe indicated he would schedule a "speedy hearing" on` the merits of Shaw's peti- tion. In a six-page decision ex- plaining his ruling, Heebe ,said, "There is a very real like- lihood that the plaintiff may prevail on the merits." Attorneys for Shaw con- tended Monday that the Loui- siana conspiracy statutes are unconstitutional, and that Gar- rison had conducted a "reign lof terror by the misuse and abuse of the powers of the :public office . ." � They called Garrison's assas- .sination investigation "illegal, ' unwarranted, fraudulent and useless." "The complaint read as a whole presents much more than a recitation of isolated wrongs, but impugns the en- tire prosecution against the petitioner," Heebe said. "The thrust of these allega- tions raises serious questions concerning the relationship be- tween this Federal district Court and the Louisiana Crim- inal District Court and indeed between Federal and State courts across the Nation," the judge added. "Whenever a Federal court stays the hand of a State offi- cial, the delicate balance of comity so necessary and wholesome for our Federal system is likely to be dis- �trurbed," he said. - WAS1112;GTOS POST 2 8 MAY 1968 Shaw Trial NEW ORLEANS�Defense attorneys asked a Federal court to stop "a reign of ter- _ ror" against Clay L. Shaw, to block Shaw's June 11 as- sassination conspiracy trial and to uphold the Warren Commission findings into the murder of President Kennedy. In a 42-page suit filed in U.S. District Court, the at- torneys also asked that a three-judge court be con- vened to bar New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garri- son from pursuing his case against Shaw. The suit asks that the court rule the conclusion of the Warren Commission that Lee riarvey Oswald alone killed Kennedy was "accu- rate and correct" and "con- trolling and binding" on all courts. Enpu Eda Pcvs !,,ne Pc;* TRENTON, N.J.

Haggerty Jr. today denied a motion to move the trial of Clay L. ; Shaw outside New Orleans. Shaw's attorneys were given 15 days to file writs of review with the siana Supreme Court. : ASSISTANT District Attor- ney James L. Alcock said the ; case will not be set for trial until the Supreme Court acts on the writs of review. ! Shaw, 55, is charged with :conspiracy in the assassina- tion of President John F. Ken- nedy. His attorneys sought to ; have the trial moved at ; least 100 miles from New Or- leans on grounds the publicity ! about the case has made it impossible for Shaw to get a :fair trial here. Haggerty read in court his eight-page opinion, or reasons ft:_ir judgment. � Wegmann said the ,"respeetfully reserves a bill of exceptions to your ruling." He said this would include all exhibits in the case and all testimony of witnesses in the change of venue hearing. WEGMANN FILED a writ- ten motion of intent to apply to the Supreme Court for a writ of review. If the writ is granted, the high court would hear the case and could then order Haggerty to re- open the hearing or simply or- der the change of venue it- self. If it reruses the writ, Dis- trict Attorney Jim Garrison's office has the right to set the case for trial. Wegmann first asked for 30 days to file the writ but the judge objected. A compro- mise of 15 days was agreed upon. HAGGERTY SAID, "this case is ready for trial" and suggested to Alcock that he set it for the earliest trial day in May. Alcock said however, the DA's office would wait un- til the Supreme Court acted.

Haggerty said national and international publicity about the assassination and the Warren Report "probably as- sures that everyone over the age of 7 years has heard of these particular matters." The legal .question involved, he said, is whether or not be- cause of the Publicity a prejudice :has arisen against the deft, Clay L.

When the press reports news that does not get into evidence, or that comes to the attention of jurors "un- examined and unchallenged" before the trial: 2. When the amount and in- tensity of general press cov- erage becomes so. significant and so partisan that the whole community atmosphere is permeated with passion suf- ficient to preclude a fair trial. He quoted decisions to the effect that a juror's word must be depended on as to whether he is prejudiced. Haggerty said the decisions show "a trial cannot be held 1. in a vacuum, hermetically sealed against rumor and re- port." He added that if "mere dis- closure cf the general nature of evidence relied on would vitiate a subsequent trial, few verdicts would stand." The judge said that in his opinion "the general environ- ment of Orleans Parish would not subvert the processes of justice were this case to be tried within the jurisdiction." Haggerty said most of the 80 jurors questioned in the ( hearing said they had heard so much pro and con they did not know what to believe. They said they would have to hear. the evidence in open court before rendering a judg- ment. "This is what a trial is for," said the judge. "In my opinion there is no wave of public passion existing at this time, if indeed it ever did exist." HE SAID DEFENSE coun- sel in their arguments re- ferred to the trial of Billy Sol Estes in Texas and Dr. Sam- uel Sheppard in Ohio. He cited reasons why he believes the Shaw case is different from these, � He said� live television Of a preliminary hearing and a circus atmosphere created by newsmen in the Estes case tended to impress the public with "the notorious charac- ter" of the defendant. __ -- In the Sheppard case, Hag-. gerty said a "massive bar- rage of unfavorable public- ity" and activity of the news- men in the courtroom itself led to a reversal. In the Shaw case, the judge said, the preliminary hearing before Judge Bernard J. Bag- ert, "was not televised, had no circus atmosphere and the press coverage was like any other case in the public do- main." Testimony' of newsmen in the Shaw change of venue hearing, he said' showed that publicity here �has 'subsided and abated." Concluding his arguments, Haggerty said: "I BELIEVE jurors will honestly answer (questions about whether they are biased) and I further believe that witnesses who will be called will testify freely and frankly. . "I do not believe that the state of the public mind of the citizens of New Orleans is against the defendant, arid I further believe he can re- ceive a fair trial in this juris- diction. ; "For the above and forego-' ing . reasons, the change of venue 'is hereby denied." . . . - � .

Alcock is reported to have:.,z. said in the letter, "Further�it - is my understanding of our,' versation that this copy rn be kept by our office for pos- sible use in the case of State of Louisiana vs. Clay L.

"You could have had 50 conspiracies," Judge Hag- gerty interrupted testily. Such speculation, of course, is dependent on the quality of the evidence � Garrison submits during the Shaw trial to support ;. his claim of more than a - year ago that he had "solved" the assassination. But it is legal fact that Garrisdn will not have to convince the Shaw jury that the Dallas gunfire was the culmination of a . conspiracy conceived in New Orleans by Shaw and other alleged plotters. ; All Garrison will have to � � "And if you have an overt act you can have a case in court in any of the 50 ttates�whether or not the act was culminated. You don't have to prnve it did culminate.' Today the judge and both defense and prosecu- tion attorneys will exa- mine SO prospective jurors to determine if they have a fixed opinion concerning Shaw's guilt or innocence. No matter what today's witnesses say, it is highly unlikely the judge will agree to move the trial from his court. It also is understood that in making the request for removal of the trial to "a less prejudiced locale," S h a w' s attorneys were merely employin�, a. legal gambit. They reportedly were convinced beforehand that Judge Haggerty would turn them down. And this, it is under- stood, is how they pre- ferred it�knowing that a jury in a country parish (county), when confronted with certain facts -about Shaw's personal life, in ight be more easily swayed by Garrison's ar- guments than one in. this tolerant, live-and-1 e L-live city. � What Shaw's attorneys really sought, it is said. was to use the venue hearing to trap the judge in judicial error which might be used in an appeal and to discover some of the evidence amassed against their client.

" "YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED 3 to pursue it if it is irrele- vant and that is my objec- tion," countered Alcock. Dymond then asked the question again. "Have you ever heard Mr. Garrison talking on TV con- cerning Clay Shaw . . ." A. "A couple of times I heard him. I didn't even re- member what he said now." Q. � "You do believe at this time Garrison's theories on the Clay Shaw case?" A. "Yeah." Q. "And you would have to be convinced he is wrong?" A. "I would have to be con- vinced." � ALCOCK THEN TOOK up- the cross-examination of Mc- Kinley. He asked McKinley if he could give Shaw a fair A.

"If the court failed to. : carry the burden of proof, you wouldn't convict him, would you?" A. "I couldn't." .� Q. "Do you have an opin- ion that Clay Shaw is guilty?" � A. "I couldn't say that." � THE NEXT WITNESS was Polumbo, a 57-year-old na- tive of Brooklyn, N. Y., who has lived in New Orleans - since 1945. He answered in the affirmative when Hag- gerty asked if he had read and discussed the trial and if he had been a juror in a criminal case. "Having served on juries, I am sure you have been in- structed that the burden of proof is on the state," said Haggerty. A. "Yes sir." Q. "Tell us whether you � have fallen into a fixed opin- ion as to the guilt or inno- cence of Clay L. Shaw . . ." - A. "No." DYMOND THEN OBJECT- ED to the word "fixed" in the - question and Haggerty then rephrased the question! 0. "Have you formed any opinion fixed or not on the guilt or innocence of Clay L. Shaw?" A. "No, sir." Q. "If you were called as a prospective juror, would you try the case like any other case?" � A. "Yes, sir." Q. "Could you give . . . a fair and impartial trial: and require the state to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt?" A. "I could." WEGMANN THEN TOOK OVER the questioning, ask- ing Polumbo if he had read . stories in connection with the charges against Shaw. "You couldn't miss it," said , Polumbo. Palumbo then answered no , to questiOns from Wegmann as to whether he had read: a Garrison story in Playboy Magazine, a Garrison story in Ramparts Magazine or the book "Rush to Judgment." Polumbo h had not seen the movie or at- tended a lecture by Mark Lane, author of the book. Dymond asked Polumbo if "as an individual, you have an opinion" concerning the case. A. "Yes, sir." Q. "You as an individual have an opinion as to whether ' Clay Shaw conspired with Da- vid Ferrie and Lee Harvey, ; .Oswald to aqcasinate the 1 v; � : president?" A: "I have no such opin- ion." After further questioning, . Palumbo told Dymond that he , had no opinion in the; case. . I THE NEXT WITNESS was Harris. He said he had served as a juror more than 10 times. Judge Haggerty asked-:. Harris if he had "formed an . opinion as to the guilt or in- nocence of Clay L Shaw?' "No," was the reply. , Q. "If you were to be called on the trial of Mr. Clay L'. Shaw could you give a fair and impartial trial?" A. "I believe so, yes. Just-, as I believe I've done in the : past." Dymond then took over the I questioning. , Q. "Do you watch TV news broadcasts?" A. "Yes.". Q. "Have you heard Mr. Garrison speak on the sub- ject on TV?" A. "Yes, I have." Q. "Have you heard Mark Lane . . .?" A. . "No " Q. "Mort Sahl?" A. "I'm completely unfami- liar . . ." Q. "Did you read the article on Clay Shaw in Playboy Magazine?" - A. "No, I didn't." Q. "Has the publicity . . . affected your thinking in any - - - _ I way?" A. "I don' think so, Mr. Dy- mond. I don't feel so." HE WAS THEN asked by � Dymond if he as an individ- ual, not as a potential juror, had an opinion in the case. . A. "As an individual right , now, I don't think I have any � opinion as to the validity . . . I haven't given it any thought myself. I don't anticipate any bridges until I get there." . Q. "Is there any particular opinion you would have to get rid of . ." A. "1 believe I would' have. to have some facts of which I have none. I've been on juries. before." He was then. asked if any- of the publicity on the case had made any, impression.. Harris concluded that, "Yes, it affects you" but that the juror should be able to put it aside. ; Q. "You would be hopeful : that you would be able to. cast it aside?". , � A. "Yes." Q. "But you admit that you do have an opinion?" A. "Yes, I don't know how much in depth . . . Q. "You believe you could overcome any opinion?" A. "Yes." 1 ALCOCK THEN ASKED :1 Harris if he as a juror would require the state to prove its 1 case beyond a reasonable doubt. "Yes, sir," was the reply. Schuber, the next witness, also testified that he could give Shaw a fair trial. Be told Judge Haggerty that he had served on juries twice in the past. Q. "From what you have seen and read do you have. any opinion or impression on the guilt or innocence of Clay Shaw?" A. "No, sir." Judge Haggerty: If you were to be called as a juror, could }rink!' irrespective of what you have read, heard or seen, give this defendant a fair, tri Schube es." Judge ty thin turned the witness over to the de- � tense for questioning. Dynion,�, "Did you-Jea abouttie_case in The Tithes- Picayune and the New Or- leans States-Item?" : � Schuber: "Yes." Dymond: "Do .you read Ramparts rn Schuber:_ " 4 have ..seen it but j do iirread . , book DyniOith lidushl to Judg- ment'?" uea rd a- ment'?" Schuber: "No." : Dymond: "Did you see the movie?" Schuber:. "No." Dymond:. -"Would you say' you have been unimpressed or have you formed an Opinion?" Schnber: "I have formed no opinion as to the guilt or innocence at this time." There then followed an ar- gument between Dymond and Alcock regarding the differ- ence between court opinion and court expression. Alcock charged that the de- i� fense had been using the two J. words interchangeably. Al- cock charged" that the two are very different in meaning. Judge iimggerty interjected that anyorie�who has reached the "age oloireason" can form an opinion.. "ANYONE WHO HAS reach- ed the age of reason," as- . serted Haggerty, "and who can read forms an impression of what he has read." ; Haggerty said that the first � impression doesn't remain a lasting impression. Dymond denied that the de- fense had used the two words, � opinion and impression, inter- ; changeably as Alcock stated. ! On the contrary, he said that the defense had used the wordsliiioirninately. the stand was Terranova, who The liftti witness called to said that he is a native of New Orleans, is 43 years old, is employed in the shipping de- partrnent of American Can Co. and has served on one jury. � TERRANOVA SAID that he. has formed "somewhat of an opinion." Under questioning by Al- cock, he said he would require the state to prove its case : beyond a reasonable doubt. . The sixth witness called was Barry, who said he is a re! tired former Veterans' Ad- ministration employe, a native ! of St. Charles Parish and that he had not served on .a jury before. . Judge Haggerty asked him . some of the same questions he had asked other .witnesses � and, because Barry apparent- ly did not understand the na- '- tare of the questions, he was excused without giving the de- fense or the state an oppor- tunity to question him. AFTER TWO MORE wit , � nesses testified; in gene' � that they felt they could give 1 Shaw a fair -trial, the court recessed for lunch. ' . OVER THE weekend, the convention of the National Dis- trict Attorneys Association here came to an abrupt end as Garrison canceled the group's banquet. It had been I scheduled for Saturday night. Garrison, who was chair- � � man of local arrangements for the convention, canceled the dinner in a huff when the group .told him he could not - use the banquet as a public forum for his Kennedy assas- sination probe. GARRISON WAS TO have been the principal speaker at the banquet. Association pres- ident William J. Raggio of Reno, Nev., said his group, reluctant to be drawn into the Garrison probe in any way, asked him not to make the banquet speech after learning that he planned a sharp at- tack on federal courts. Last week, Garrison ad- dressed the group at a regu- lar session and attacked fed- eral district court judges here for their decision to en- join his office from subpena- ing Life magazine reporter I David L. Chandler to testify ,before the Orleans Parish 't Grand Jury. " Chandler's attorney filed a I motion asking that federal I district court cite Garrison ! for contempt. A hearing on this motion is scheduled for Wednesday. ALLEGEDLY, GARRISON. wanted to question Chandler in connection with an organ- ized crime probe. But, in his speech to the DAs, Garrisol said the failure to get Chan- dler was ar.other attempt by the federal government to block his assassination probe. Over the weekend, Garri- son accused the DAs associa- tion of trying to censor his planned remarks. Raggio said, "His actions were completely � irrational. In the first place, it wasn't 1, his banquet. The banquet was one of the things covered by. the $.50 registration !fee paid by each delegate." Today, the association fig- ures that Garrison owes each t delegate about $8, the ,price, per person for the -banquet. � Alpo- - �4I4 )Q .A,91{4, FE S 1953 � "oe �".!,:r7.-.417T1kr,^7:=7:7'rrY77777-77 � �-� ; - ���.. � Associated Press - APPEARS BEFORE GRAND JURY: Marina Oswald Porter, .

Before beginning the after- noon session with Mrs. Porter, the grand jury questioned Kerry W. Thornley of Tampa, Fla., who � had known Oswald when both served in the Marine Corps in the late 1950's. Mr. Garrison says one or more wit- nesses saw Mr. Thornley with Oswald during the summer of 1963. Mr. Thornley denies hav- ing seen Oswald since 1959. Mrs. Porter's trip to New Orleans to appear before the grand jury was in marked con- trast to her residence here from May 11 to Sept. 23, 1963. At that time, she and Oswald lived in a slum, and she was several months pregnant. While working as an oiler on a coffee processing machine, Oswald barely made enough salary to buy food and to pay the rent on their tiny apart- ment. He spent much of his free time that summer handing out leaflets on New Orleans streets urging "fair plar for the Castro regime in Cuba., On the current trip, Mrs. Porter and her 'husband were lodged in a tourist motel near the Criminal Courts building. Ordered By Judge 'Mrs. Porter's trip to New Orleans to testify before Mr. Garrison and the grand jury was ordered by a Texas judge under an agreement between states that requires material witnesses to go to another state if needed. Mr. Garrison said Mrs. Porter was a material witness in his investigation of Mr. Kennedy's murder. Mr. Garrison has charged that Oswald plotted with.clay _L. Shaw, 55, retired New Or- liiis to assassi- nate President Kennedy. One of Mr. Garrison's assistants said the District Attorney wanted to find out if Mrs. Porter had known Mr. Shaw. Jvlr Shayr. who was indicted last iarch on a conspiracy charge in the assassination, was scheduled to go on trial Mon- day. However is attorne s asked nis week tna e ria 4111.1ok-- Edgar Eugene Bradley, a 49- year-old California conserva- tive, with conspiracy in. the assassination, but had not said what part he believes Mr. Brad- ley played. The Californian has successfully fought extra- dition to Louisiana.

Wheninvasion was ordered stoppeday President Kennedy in the summer of 1963, the C.I.A. employes, many of them Cuban eXiles and one of them Oswald, became connected with extreme anti-Communists who had neo-Nazi views, Mr. Gar- rison has said. In a recent neWs conference, Mr. Garrison sharpened his at- tack on the C.I.A., the Federal .Bureau of Investigation and President Johnson.

The charge is that Clay Shaw con- spired with others to assassinate John F. Kennedy. Thus a court of law finally will deal directly with the gnawing -discontent, in' t some quarters, with the Warren Report. This splits at least two ways. One is dis- may among those Who believe or want to believe the re- port, yet believe that this prominent and well-staffed commis- - �sion left many, loop- holes and glossed over many obvious difficulties. T h e other discontent is stronger, and is felt by those_who Mmply . do not believe that Lee Nervey Oswald, a demented Communist, Was-the lone. as- sassin.

ConfInuei3, THE NATIONAL OBSERVER WASHINGTON, D.C. 22 January 1968 The New Orleans 'Conspiracy' A Question for Mr. Garrison: 'Do You Believe All This Stuff?' Continued From Page One called by the DA as material witnesses or have volunteered their testimony about the alleged conspiracy. Many of them exist in a shadow world of homosexuality, prostitution and pandering, and petty and major crime. And the investigation has also at- tracted other Warren Commission critics. Mr. Garrison, in fact, wrote the introduc- , tion for the second of two anticommission � books by Harold Weisberg. Perhaps the most prominent of the critics, Mark Lane, the self-styled "defense counsel" for Oswald whOse Rush to Judgment made the best-seller lists, now lives in a French Quarer apartment here. Charges of Government Involvement It na:, been said by the DA's critics tna:-, he makes a new charge every time investigation seems to 'bog down. Wnatever, the tenor of the charges has been escalating in recent weeks. For ex- ample, Mr. Garrison now says, -in appar- cr.-- contradiction to earlier statements, that Oswald was a U.S. Government oper- ative, reporting to the Central Intelli- gence Agency (CIA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), or both. At one point, in his office, I. tried to put Mr. . Garrison on the defensive with this state- ment: "Then you agree with Marguerite Oswald (Lee's mother) that he was a CIA agent?" I hadn't thought anyone except Mrs. Oswald and perhaps Mr. Lane be- lieved that. "You know," Mr. Garrison replied, "when I first heard she said that after the assassination I thought, 'Now that's a hot one.'" Then he paused. "You know, she turned out to be right." If that seems farfetched, there is this one. The Warren Report states flatly that Oswald and his killer, Jack Ruby, did not know each other. Mr. Garrison states flat- ly that they not only knew each other, but that they were both co-operating homo- sexuals. (Mr. Garrison makes the point in considerably more vivid language.) Still, it remains one thing to assault the Oswalds and the Rubys and quite an- mricr to impugn some of the nation's highest officials. More recently, Mr. Gar- r:son has done just that. In a Los Angeles speech in November, he said ....at he had thought at first the Warren 'ommission was merely incompetent; ow he thinks it intentionally hid facts. Pointing to the Top He says that Chief Justice Warren was appointed to the commission to silence po- tential liberal criticism. And he adds that Allen Dulles, former chief of the CIA, and John J. McCloy, who headed its predeces- sor, the Office of Strategic Services, were there to protect the spy agency. (Mr. Mc- Cloy, though active in military intelligence work in World War II, never headed the OSS.),Finally, he says the man at the top has, to the DA's displeasure, closed some of the commission files for 75 years�"the one man who has profited most from the assassination, your friendly President, � Lyndon Johnson." � Mr. Garrison quickly continues that he Isn't saying the President is involved .in � the assassination. "But wouldn't it be nice to know?" he asks. And he won't leave � the subject without adding that certain Texans who he says are longtime political backers of Mr. Johnson are being pro- � tected. � One could continue the samples indef- initely, but suffice. Most people, It seems safe to say, will not believe most of these charges. In fact, a question one hears frequently after returning from a visit to Mr. Garrison is: "Is he a nut?" Mr. Garrison has heard the question too and he talks casually about it. A few weeks ago a news story reported that Mr. Garrison had received a medical dis- charge frop the Army in 1951 for psy- chiatric reasons, adding that he was re- instated into the National Guard in 1955 � (he retired as a lieutenant colonel last spring because the investigation was tak- ing So much time). But the story caused little ripple here because similar accusa- tions had been made by Judge Malcolm O'Hara in his vain election campaign . against Mr. Garrison for district attorney In 1965. � A Plausible Explanation Mr. Garrison says he will refuse to answer the charges publicly and asked that this lengthy part of our conversation be kept off the record. It can be reported only that he offers a plausible explanation that the incident involves physical, not mental, problems dating back to World War II (when he was a decorated combat officer), and that the matter was cleared up to the satisfaction of a military medi- cal team later. I have not studied the records. � Setting aside that matter, it should be :said:thargr. Garrison-is a pleasant and bright conversationalist; He sprinkles his views with pertinent literary allusions and his interests seem catholic. He likes good liquor and good food and good music. He also likwpretty :girls. It is hardly �surprising thhey are4tOacted to him .for he is aVe 46, noi7only a celebrity but a -J-;10if,-(if striking physical appear- �ance, 6leetzetiches in height, 225 pounds, with -haze and a full head of chest-. nut hair. While We chatted one evening in a -swinging little French Quarter bar called La Boucherie, young women fair- ly paraded to Our; table, mainly to tell him how much they (and their fathers, they addedln most cases) admired him. He Ircharmed' them Mr. Garrison says that the investiga- tion occupies his entire schedule, seven .days a week; so that he. has turned over all other matters in his 'office to an as- sistant. He has six staffers working on the case, besides whatever help he receives; from private investigators. There are sev- eral of them working for him on the West Coast, -mainly volunteers. � He says that he works so hard be- ;cause he must solve the assassination !mystery,, not for any political ambitions of his own. "hnever intend to seek any ,other Political: Office," he says with some - - :vehemence idAste now that I have seen the !cynicism �alienation's media." -; How far he has progressed toward !"solving the-mystery" no one (unless it is Mr. Garrison) seems to know. He speaks of right-wing extremists, of Nazis, Cuban emigres, and Texas oil men. He says that he is checking all the leads that the Warren Commission overlooked. "When I mentioned a few weeks ago :that the area under Dealey Plaza [the assassination site] was webbed with a sewer system that men could get around in, I wasn't saying that was how the as- ' sassination took place. I'm not assuming ; any burden of proof I don't have to. All I want to know is why the Warren Corn- � mission didn't tell us that." Mr. Gagn is troubled by- a listenergliWticism. He concedes that all this may be hard to believe, but he in- sists it is true. At one point I wondered if he thought it logical that the CIA would have hired all the questionable characters ,he Says it did. "Ask the CIA, not me," he ' replied. "They hired them." reinF.7.17-nnIT After hearing on tape a seeminwy pi e- postcrous story told by one of his wit- nesses; I suggested that the witness, be� cause Of his admitted background, would be eminently impeachable. Mr. Garrison's answer: "Pimps are less likely to lie than lawyers." A Prosecutor's Job Mr. Garrison maintains that he has done what a district attorney is supposed to do, investigate a case within his juris- diction�he says the alleged conspiracy .was hatched in New Orleans�and bring those he thinks were Involved to trial. He has produced one indictment and says he will get others. There is real doubt, though, about what � he expects to prove and what, in law, he has to prove. This is the statute under which Mr. Shaw was indicted: "Criminal conspiracy is the agreement � or combination of two or more persons for the specific purpose of committing any crime; provided that . . . in addition to such agreement or combination one or more of such parties does an act in furtherance of the object of the agree- ment or combination [emphasis add- ed]." Mr. Garrison's star witness at the pre- liminary hearing on the Shaw case last spring, Perry Russo, testified that he at- tended a meeting in the apartment of David Ferrie at which Ferrie, and a young man he identified as Leon (sic) Oswald, and Mr. Shaw discussed an as- � sassination plot. Hypothesizing that this.; be so, if two of them did no more about it, - but Oswald took it upon himself to corn- � mit the crime, was there a conspiracy? Idle chatter is no conspiracy. Thus these events may not amount to a con- spiracy. On the other hand, if Oswald shot President Kennedy, an "act in fur- therance of the object of the agreement" was committed. The key is: Was there an agreement? Oswald a 'Patsy'? But what if, as Mr. Garrison has said, "Oswald didn't shoot anybody that day in Dallas." Does this wipe out that "conspira- torial meeting?" Or does Mr. Garrison expect to prove that the meeting was part � of a conspiracy plot, to be executed by others? And that Oswald was a "patsy." But then, did Oswald know he was to be a "patsy?" One can go around and � around. Those who look most favorably on Mr. Garrison's investigation think he may have found evidence of a conspiracy. But it is not clear if what he may have found actually led to the assassination. Also, it is thought by some, even if Mr. Garri- son has not found a real assassination conspiracy, he has turned up evidence of some other serious law violations�gun- -� running to anti-Castro Cubans, for ex- ample. But where does that leave the 1"1,1 2 1968 ".: ^.ase against Mr. Shaw, y. denies any guilt? Clay Shaw says: "It is still hard to be- lieve this has happened. I think about it 24 hours a day. Often when I go to parties my friends will try .not to talk about it. But inevitably before very long the con- versation gets around to it. So I usually � try to put my friends at ease by talking: about it myself." Mr. Shaw in person is, like the DA, a giant-6 feet, 4 inches, 215 pounds, a few more pounds than he would like. He has silver hair, a deep tan, dresses impec- cably. His tastes are sophisticated.-- He delights in fine sea food and dines fre- quently at places like Brennan's, Gala- toire's, and Antoine's. Rebuilding the Quarters Mr. Shaw joined the Trade Mart after World War II and left almost as his uwn monument its sparkling new skyscraper home, the pivot for the rebirth of the Canal Street water front. But his impact on the city went further: "Years ago the French Quarter was run down. I began to buy houses, restore them, sometimes live in them awhile, then sell them, about one a year for 16 years. I wanted to adapt the. old traditions to modern living. I put the first swimming pool in' the Quar- ter and there was a lot of trouble about that with the Vieux Carre Commission. I asked them if they wanted me to put in a nine-foot-deep lily pond; they said they did, so I put it in. Now there are pools all over the Quarter." Mr. Shaw's own home in the Quarter charms the visitor with reds and whites, silvers and golds, in carpeting, drapes, and accessories; the furniture is antique yet comfortable and remarkably scaled to his size.. Two years ago he retired, to indulge himself in writing and travel. Now, he says, the expense of his defense will force him to go back to work. "I don't know what it will be,", he says, "but I'll have to raise money somehow. For one thing, I am keeping a journal of everything that has happened in the last year that I hope will become a book. "I read a fot now and I am doing some writing. Years ago I wrote two one-act plays that were performed�one still is. I am reading Thc Confessions of Nat Turner and Albee's A Delicate Balance. I read everything about the assassina- tion. Before this happened, I had the same reaction most people did�I be- lieved the Warren Report, believed in the people who produced it. Now I read all the 'scavengers,' but they haven't changed my mind." A Detailed Defense Mr. Shaw's legal team, headed by Mr. Wegmann and with Irvin Dimond, re- putedly New Orleans' best criminal at- torney, as chief court strategist, has spent months preparing the defense. It is the defense. rather than the prosecution, that has been largely responsible for the delay. in the trial. _ . _ who unequivocal- LO necessary for o- Mr. Wegmanri rev ost criminal cases the accuse' oy, here he was at the time, how -11- * t, have . been involved, whether he is-guilty or in- i nocent. In this case the charges are so ridiculous that we didn't know how they came about. Civil law provides for dis- covery procedures so that the parties are not surprised. In our criminal procedure, we do not have that. We have to check every possible lead because we don't know what the district attorney will come up with." - Certain -thi e clear_One is that the defense h opy of Mr: Garrison's medical record. other is that they are prepared to assault the integrity and memory of Perry Russo, whose testimony was largelPIESponsible for. the indict- ment. (Mr. Garrison,. when queried about Mr. Russo, snapped: "The country owes him a debt of gratitude." Others hold a contrary view.) � ". The Homosexu ty Issue Whether Mr.- rison relies on Mr. Russo or othels'in'the trial, it-teems clear that to gain ?ieuxiction he must link Mr. Shaw to DaNilliw*Ferrie, an apparently multitalented individualist who was a prominent figure in the world of New Orleans homosexuals. Ferrie died last February of a mysterious_ brain injury shortly after being named in the investiga- tion. Mr. Shawls friends fear that the dis- trict attorhey, will attempt_to "poison the air" with the homosexuality issue. Mr. Wegmann says: "Clay Shaw � has ; lived his life with dignity." Clay Shaw's public record was, until last spring, untainted; in a city like New Orleans, most people don't know what he did or didn't do in private, and don't care. Thus the defense, in weighing the decision about whether to seek a change in venue, as it well might, must balance the dangers of prominent publicity here against the dangers of facing the homosexuality issue at trial in a less. cosmopolitan area like the Cajun country of southwest Louisiana or farm country upstate. After dayse, one finds that studying the Shaw caswecifically and the whole investigation generally is like grappling with quicksilver. After we had been to- gether for several hours, I risked with Mr. Garrison the question that had been stir- ring in my mind throughout: "Jim, do you really believe all this stuff?" The district attorney smiled at that: This was the answer: "Would I spend all my waking moments working on this thing, would I take all the criticism I'm getting, would I use so much of my staff and so mueh money on the investigation, and try to put people in jail, if I didn't believe it?" This may or may not be considered a direct answet if it is construed as a ..simple' Mr. Garrison may be wrong. But it does seem evident that he intends to pursue-wherever it might lead �his �investigation into a possible con- spiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy. �.7ERRe): n K.

Kennedy. The assassination, Garrison charged, was ordered and paid for by "a handful of oil-rich psychotic millionaires." .Garrison's assertions came during and after a radio inter- view taped for a New York City program to be broadcast e He said the number of Dallas d police involved was small and s he refused to say how many "Texas style" millionaires were .) involved, although he identified e them all as extreme conserva- tives. d He also said "some members of the White Russian com- e munity in Dallas" played a e part in the plot.

He would have, jeop- ardized 'their lives, he Said, �if .1 cided to kill Kennedy because they felt he was "selling out to the Communists." Garrison said there were "considerably more than seven men" involved in the actual as- sassination in Dallas, adding they were radio-equipped and took virtually no risk of being caught. "The connecting link at every level of operation from the oil rich sponsors of the assassina- tion' down to the Dallas police department through Jack Ruby and including anti-Castro ad- venturers at the operating level were Minute Men, Nazi-orient- ed," he claimed, adding: "It was essentially a Nazi opera- tion." -He also promised to reveal during the first week of the Shaw trial- his version of what happened in Dealey Plaza on Nov. 72, 1963, the day of the as- sassination. Garrison reiterated -his claim that Lee Harvey Oswald, named by the Warren Commission as the lone assassin of Kennedy, was merely implicated "to drag a red herring in front of the he had mentioned the involve- people really involved." ments of the Dallas police He said Oswald at the time 3 while his men were still in Dal- las.

It is not necessary that! each conspirator 'know or see! the others. It is also not neces- sary that sach conspirator know al; the details of the plan or operation or the part played by each of the congpirators 3.

The overt act may be committed by any member. et (lie conspiracy. The ovrri act need not in it- self be criminal.

NEC and a former Justice De- partment investigator, was ordered arrested on similar charges. Sheridan: one of the pro- ducers of �the NBC show, was .'en by New Orleans timvsmen on June 28, during the last meeting of the grand jury. SHERIDAN, reportedly in ' Washington, is expected to ; arrive in New Orleans some time this week to post his $5,000 bond. Townley was charged in three bills of information yes- terday with attempting to bribe and intimidate Perry .Raymond Russo, so far the. DA's star witness in the Shaw case, and with intimid t anothesie- witness, isMcuso, a cm-time beduty queen, is the former wife of Gordon Novel, a fugi- tive from Louisiana, charged by Garrison with conspiracy to commit burglary. He is also believed wanted by the district attorney for question7 ing in the assassination probe. TOWNLEY yesterday called the charges against h i m "completely false" and "ab- surd." In a statement to news- men after he posted his bond, Townley said: "Mr. Garrison's accusations against me, like those against my colleague from NBC, Wal- ter Sheridan, are completely false. I am honored to find myself in the distinguished company of a man like Mr. Sheridan, who has established a national reputation for in- tegrity as an investigator for the McClellan Rackets Com- mittee, the Justice Depart- ment and now NBC news. "This would be a minor� even a joking�matter if only ,the freedom of myself or Mr. Sheridan were involved. The stakes, however, are much higher than that. "The charges against Mr. ' Sheridan last week and the charges against me here to- low day are obviously part of the campaign to intimidate re- :Otters everywhere who dare -to ,:question the' methods of Mr. Garrison, his assistants and his investigators. "The use of this high of- fice for such low purposes makes a mockery of the jus- tice he is supposed to up- hold. Ow- society has sur- vived other attempts by poli- ticians to silence criticism in the news media. "UNFORTUNATELY, there is a lengthy tradition of that kind in �Louisiana politics. I am confident that those who beareavy burden of re- portinuke truth�even if that truth- hurts�will not be intim- idated:..by this obvious at- tempt -6 silence criticisms.

On March 2, Atty. Gen. Ram- sey Clark told newsmen here that Shaw was involved in an FBI investigation of the assassi- nation' in 1963. At that time, Clark indicated that the FBI had found nothing to connect Shaw with the assassination. � Yesterday, the department issued a statement which, while continuing to insist that Shaw had no connection with the President's murder, conceded that Clark had been wrong in saying that Shaw figured in the FBI probe in New Orleans. The department's statement was prompted by a request for "clarification" of Clark's state- ment to newsmen by a lawyer who is representing Shaw. Shaw, a New Orleans busi- nessman, has been indicted on charges of conspiracy to murder President Kennedy. He has not yet been tried. Probe Criticized The charge against him is one result of District Atty. Jim Garrison's highly publicized investigation of the assassina- tion. Garrison has refused to accept the Warren Commission's conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing President Kennedy in Dallas Nov. 22, 1963. The Garrison investigation has been discredited, publicly and privately, and sharply criticized by high-ranking federal officials. There was nothing in yester- day's statement by the Justice Department to give any noticea- ble support to the Garrison investigation of Shaw, _ supposecrinves � gation of Shaw , by the FBI was made by Ed- ward F. Wegmann, -a New Orleans lawyer. . f- - Garrison has said that Shavesrole in the assassination carried out when he was= the name "Clay Bertrand?' name figured in the Dep ment's statement yesterday...t% Text of Statement The department's statement' said: "The FBI investigation in Na Orleans following the asSailan': Lion covered allegationiil'Ay Dean A. Andrews, which includ- ed a reference to 'Clay Ber- trand.' Clay Bertrand' was not identified a real person. No evidence was found that Clay Shaw was ever called 'Clay Bertrand.' - - "The attorney general's comment on March_2 that-Mr. Shaw was involved was based on a briefing that morning. The attorney general has determined that this was erroneous. Nothing arose indicating a need to investigate Mr. Shaw. "As the attorney general... stated, no connection between.: Shaw and the assassination was Iwo� found in the thorough investiga- tion by the FBI. The Depart- ment of Justice is convinced that Lee Harvey Oswald alone assassinated President Kenne- dy." A department spokesman refused to identify the official or officials who had briefed Clark on March 2. Shaw Enters Plea Of Not Guilty in Kennedy Plot Case NEW ORLEANS (UPI)�Clay L. Shaw today pleaded not guilty to charges that he con- spired to assassinate President John F. Kennedy in 1963. Judge Edward Haggerty Jr. gave Shaw's attorney's until May 5 to file motions in the case. He said he would give prosecu- tors another 30 days after that �or until early June�to file answers. Shaw, former director of the International Trade Mart here, appeared calm during the 10- minute proceedings. He stood gilently while the indictment was read. Shaw was indicted in Dist. Atty. Jim Garrison's investiga- tion of the Kennedy assassina- tion for allegedly meeting with Lee Harvey Oswald and pilot David W. Ferrie in September 1963 to plot the President's �death. - _ %.���� .1 Garrison Seeking Two As Arms Theft Plotters NEW ORLEANS, La. (AP) - Dist. Atty. Jim Garrison has asked Canadian and Texas au- thorities to arrest two men charged in an incident which Garrison's office says "may or may not be related" to his probe of the Kennedy assassina- tion. Garrison telegraphed arrest warrants yesterday to Montreal for.jclon Novel and to Dallas, Tex., for Sergio Arcacha Smith, ba Jed on charge." W-consiiring to burglarize a munitions bun- ker in 1961. Garrison obtained a warrant for Novel's arrest last week as a material witness in the probe of 'President John F. Kennedy's assassination. The new charge accused Nov- el -and Arcacha of conspiring with David W. Ferrie to commit simple burglary -61f-a- Munitions dump in Houma, about 40 miles southwest of New Orleans.

Shaw, 4, a retired New Orlbans executive, has been indicted on a charge of , conspiring to kill the president.; -The warrants for Novel and Arca0a were signed by Crimi- nal Dist.

Shaw's Kennedy assassination conSrr- acy trial to refrain from pre-trial publicity. He told them to quit discussing evidence. The judge said at a news conference he would invoke the canons of professional ethics "to prevent the flow of prejudicial pre-trial publicity" from either Shaw's attorneys or from Dist. Atty. Jim Garrison's staff. He said the arraignment of Shaw, indicted by the grand jury March k7 on charges of conspir- ing to assassinate President John F. Kennedy, probably will be held next week. Haggerty said the seine security measures in effect at Shaw's preliminary hearing earlier this month would be used at the arraignment. Reporters needed special credentials to cover the hearing and cameras were barred. (Meanwhile, Gordon Novel issued a telephone challenge to Garrison today to prove by lie detector that the probe is not a fraud, United Press Internation- al reported. � .

Novel reportedly took a lie detector test in Mc- Lean, Va. over the weekeia tz�brelf lifilEs charges that the investigation is a fraud) Haggerty has said he does not believe the Warren Commission report on the assassination can be admitted as evidence mainly because the commission's witnesses could not be cross- examined. � .

La. (AP)� Dist.. Atty. Jim, Garrison's office today ordered the arrest of _Gordon Novel, former owner of a French Quarter bar, as a material witness in the investi- gation of President John F. Kennedy's assassination. Novel, 29, was subpoenaed to appear before the Orleans Parish grand jury yesterday in connection with Garrison's probe. He did not appear and could not be found here. Novel, later turned up in Columbus, Ohio: He left there today saying he was going to Chicago, The arrest order for Novel followed the grand jury's indict- ment yesterday of Clay L. Shaw, retired business executive, on a charge of "willfully and unlaw- fully conspiring" to murder Kennedy. . In an affidavit, the district attorney's office alleged that Novel fled New Orleans while under subpoena. It said lie severed his business ties and stated publicly' that he had no Intent* of returning. Afraid 'Of "Harassment" In Columbus, Novel said he did not want to return to New Orleans, without a guarantee of immunity from "harassment." He.syetquoted as describing the Garilson 1 investigation as "a fraud" and as saying he first helped the district attorney but that "Garrison, double-crossed me." ("What my friend Mr. Garri- son is conducting is not a nor- mal investigation but is a politi- cal, police state inquisition." United Press . International quoted Novel as saying.

(AP)�A man who used to drive a Dallas taxi- cab says he once drove Lee Harvey Oswald and David Fer- rie to Jack Ruby's Dallas night- club. Raymon Cummings, 35, has told-this stbertifliew Orleans Dist. Atty. Jim Garrison's of- fice, it was learned. Garrison, investigating an al- leged plot in the assassination of President Kennedy, ' says Ferrie, Oswald and others con- spired to kill the President. � Ferrie, Oswald and Ruby all are dead. A source said the former cab- bie decided to contact Garri- son's office after he saw a pic- ture of Ferrie in a Dallas news- paper in February. The picture was accompanied by. a story that quoted Ferrie as saying he had never been in Dallas. Cummings drove a cab part- time in Dallas from Jan. 11, 1963, until March 15, 1963. While a cabbie, the source said, Cummings once picked up three men and drove them to Ruby's Carousel Club. The three passengers were Ferrie, Oswald and an unidentified man, the source quoted Commings as saying. Both Ex-Marines Cummings, according to the source, recognized Oswald as having been a man he had driven a few weeks earlier from the bus station � to suburban Irving. Both he and Oswald were � ex-marines, Cummings said, and they had talked about the service. The Warren Commission said Oswald assassinated Kennedy in Dallas Nov.- 22, 1963, and that there was no credible evidence of a conspiracy of any kind. Cummings has been employed with a large Dallas company for the last 11 years. He has work- ed at various part-time jobs in that period, including cab driv- ing.

Garri- son has accused Shaw of con- spiring with Oswald and others to kill President John F. Ken- nedy. Garrison's Arrival A deeply suntanned Garrison. flanked by seven assistants, en- tered the courtroom just before the hearing began. It was Garri- son's first public appearance in JO days. Fifty deputy sheriffs stood guard around the court room and building. Bill Gurvich, the district at- torney's chief investigator, car- ried a 4-foot-long bundle wrap- ped in brown paper. Sources in Garrison's office said the pack- age contained a high powered rifle with telescopic sight�pre- sumably evidence in Garrison's case.

Shaw, wealthy retired director of the International Trade Mart at New Orleans, has been booked on a charge of "conspiracy7 to commit murder" in the Kennedy assassination investigation by New Orleans Dist. Atty. Jim Garrison. Clark said the Justice Depart- ment knows what Garrison's case involves, and does not con- sider it valid. However, the former chief counsel to the Warren Commis- sion, J. Lee Rankin, said earlier that "as far as I know, we've never heard of this person (Shaw)." Not in Warren Report The Warren Commission's re- port did not mention Shaw. Clark said Shaw "was included in an investigation in November and December of 1963." "We have the evidence and we can assume what their 'conclu- sions are," Clark said. "On the evidence that the FBI has, there was no connection found" between Shaw and the assassination of the President in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, Clark said. "He was checked out and found clear?" Clark was asked. "That's right," Clark replied. Both the FBI and the Justice Department had previously re- fused to discuss the arrest of Shaw. President Johnson told a White House press conference he knows nothing about Garrison's probe See PROBE, Page A4 � without a word when he was released after being booked, fingerprinted and photographed. He was arrested in Garrison's office, where he had appeared for questioning, in response to subpoena. Garrison has vowed to prove that a conspiracy conceived in New Orleans "culminated in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy" in Dallas Nov. 22, 1963.

Will the New Orleans dis- trict attorney, in the end, be able to establish a substantial connection be- tween his pathetic cast of emotionally disturbed characters and the national tragedy of November 22, 1963? Or does the plot, it) fact, exist only in the over- stimulatect imaginations of Garrison's strange troupe? At the moment, certainly, the pros- pect of a legally presentable "solution" of the Kennedy assassination and a refutation of the Warren Commission findings seems remote at best. The prosecutor's star witness, Perry Ray- mond Russo, has told a story that con- tradicts, on several key points, public statements he made less than a month ago. Until prodded by Garrison, he did not recognize the "Leon Oswald," who, he says, plotted the death of Kennedy, as Lee Harvey Oswald who carried it out. And yet he was able, with absolute certainty, to describe minute differences between a rifle Oswald was cleaning three years ago and a rifle produced in court by the district attorney. It is, of course, possible that Garri- son has more to offer in support of his arrest of Clay L. Shaw as a partici- pant in an assassination plot. Indeed It would seem incredible for an experi- enced lawyer, who must �be aware of the possibility of a suit for-..01se arrest, to stick his neck out so far on such slender evidence. One can only assume that there is more to, But one conclusion-M7already be drawn from the strange goings on in New Orleans. This investigation into the assassination of the President is being conducted with the dignity and legal propriety of a smalltime circus sideshow. Regardless .of the outcome, It is clear that Garrison's interest in that terrible moment of history lies solely in how it can be used for the personal and political betterment of Jim Garrison. It is a disgraceful per- formance. EP (A) (1- Ce, 6.-LA cc t The Washington Daily News, Friday, March 17, 1967 Witness Says He Was Hypnotized eriur NEW ORLEANS.
