6:30
That's right, all right, let's get into the show. First off,
6:33
we're gonna be talking about Rudolph Richard Davis, Junior, who I believe kind
6:42
of came into the radar of the Garrison investigation, which kind of peaked the
6:47
interest of the FBI as well. So on July seventeenth, nineteen and sixty
6:55
seven, Rudolph Richard Davis Jr. Who resides at twenty nine oh one brier
7:00
Hurst, Apartment thirty one, furnished to following information, Davis hasn't no time
7:05
had any association with any organization known as the Minutemen, and to his knowledge,
7:12
he has never known anyone who was associated with that organization. Oh well,
7:16
shit, sorry, that's something. Davis has no information regarding any association
7:27
with any Minutemen organization on the part of Lee Harvey Oswald either hm shit,
7:34
oh sorry he man, sorry, I got sneezier. Davis, in the
7:41
fall of nineteen sixty three, met Lee Harvey Oswald on two occasions in New
7:45
Orleans, Louisiana, in connection with anti castro activities in which Davis was active
7:51
at the time in the New Orleans area. So it says he in connection
7:57
with these meetings with Lee Harvey Oswald. Davis stated they met Oswald at the
8:01
time that Oswald was passing out pro castro leaflets on Canal Street. Now,
8:07
hold on, folks, I keep and maybe it's because I'm looking into something
8:13
else at the time, but I see and read about so many people who
8:22
came who was either there or they saw or they watched, or they filmed
8:28
or they heard about this fracas street fracas one Canal Street between Oswald and Brynier.
8:37
You know, like it's the one o'clock game on Sunday. It's the
8:41
place to be. Get your ass down the Canal Street. Folks. We're
8:46
gonna see the standoff between the pro castro and anti castro on one side,
8:50
and we're gonna get it on like it's the rumbling in the jungle. I
8:58
don't know, but apply Rudolph Richard Davis slid as well. Let's see,
9:09
Yeah, Davis contacted Oswald at Oswald's apartment in New Orleans in an effort to
9:18
obtain information concerning Oswald's pro castro activities. At that time, Oswald refused to
9:26
have anything to do with Davis. So this is interesting. So we have
9:37
carlos Quiroga going to Oswald's apartment and talking to him about his pro castro activities.
9:50
We have Rudolph Richard Davis, excuse me, going to Oswald's apartment.
9:56
But if you remember, Oswald when he handed the leaflet album was putting on
10:01
there at the address of forty nine oh seven Magazine Street, which is kind
10:05
of where he lived. He actually lived, I think it was forty nine
10:09
oh five or which is a little apartment off to the side of the main
10:15
residence. But yeah, why would why would put your personal address on flyer
10:24
for anybody to come. It's beyond me, But okay, it says Davis
10:31
was born September ninth. Hey, that's today when I'm recording this. Well,
10:39
happy birthday. Rudolph Richard Davis h might be still alive. He was
10:46
born in nineteen thirty four. That would make him eighty nine years old.
10:54
He might still be alive, So well, if you are, and you're
10:56
out there, every buddy haven Bay like I said. Born September ninety,
11:03
nineteen thirty four, in New York, New York. At the age of
11:07
two, he moved to Cuba from New York with his parents, as his
11:11
father owned a sugar mill in Cuba Uba. Davis left Cuba in January nineteen
11:18
sixty one, entering the United States on January the thirty first, nineteen sixty
11:24
one, at Miami, Florida. He proceeded to New York City, where
11:30
he worked as a sugar broker, A sugar broker, broker, a sugar
11:35
broker. He remained in New York City until October sixty one, when he
11:41
moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, to join his parents and sister, who
11:48
were residing there already. Shortly after his arrival at New Orleans, he became
11:54
associated with an anti anti anti anti Castro group. Davis was then employed as
12:01
an insurance salesman. UH and that's it for this FBI report taken by special
12:09
agents James Weir and Donald Steinmeyer and Houston, Texas on July seventeen, nineteen
12:13
and sixty seven. Volks, But that's not the end of the story.
12:20
No new new, new new, No, no, no no, because
12:28
he also alleges something else. What could that be? H? Well,
12:39
here we go, all right. In March of nineteen sixty eight, the
12:46
FBI was investigating a company by the name of Guatemala Lumber and Mineral Corporation.
12:56
Okay, why you asked, Well, I'll tell you information which you have
13:07
furnished concerning the investigation. Now, this is a memorandum directly to the Director
13:13
of the Federal BuOrd of Investigation by Jay Walter Yagely, Assistant Attorney General of
13:18
the Internal Security Division, and this is marked confidential all over at folks.
13:28
So here we go. Information which you have furnished concerning the investigation being conducted
13:33
by New Orleans DA James Garrison in connection with the assassination of President Kennedy indicates
13:41
that Garrison has shown an interest in a Cuban refugee training camp near New Orleans
13:46
which was operated by Richard Rudolph Davis in the summer sixty three. So not
13:52
only did he move there in sixty one to be there close to his parents
13:56
and sisters. Of By nineteen sixty three, he is training Cuban refugees in
14:05
guerrilla tactics in these swamps of Louisiana. Garrison report he believes that some of
14:11
these individuals affiliated with the camp were involved in the assassination of President Kennedy,
14:16
and that Lee Harvey Oswald was at that camp. We note that your investigation
14:22
of the assassination disclosed no information indicating that Oswald had any contact with Davis or
14:28
the anti Castro organization which Davis represented in New Orleans, the move Ofmento Democratica
14:35
Cristiano, and that data concerning an alleged training camp, including a report of
14:41
an October first, nineteen sixty three, interview with Davis, was disseminated to
14:46
the Warrant Commission. During this interview, Davis advised and in early sixty three
14:52
he made friends with persons in the lumber business in Guatemala, with whom he
14:56
formed a Louisiana incorporation called the Guatemala Lumber and Mineral Corporation and served as its
15:03
vice president. David said that in the summer sixty three, some nineteen men
15:11
were recruited from Miami through a representative of the Movamiento democratic A Cristiano for the
15:18
purpose of being trained in this lumber cutting operation. He added that when the
15:22
men learned they were to work in the lumber industry and not and we're not
15:26
recruited for a military operation, they became disenchanted and returned to Miami. So
15:35
this is the cover story. Folks. They bring in all these anti Castro
15:41
Cubans in to Louisiana telling him may We're going to train in guerrilla warfare.
15:46
Oh, by the way, set down all these trees if you will too
15:52
as well, And they said, no, yeah, we're not working.
15:58
We want to be trained with networking. Davis gave a somewhat different account of
16:06
the origins of the training camp during a subsequent interview on July the fourteen sixty
16:12
seven, set forth in a Bureau memorandum at Houston, Texas which we just
16:18
read from blah blah blah. He stated that he set up a training site
16:22
for exile Cubans on the day Labarre estate in Lacnowe, Louisiana, with the
16:27
assistance of John Burke's Society members and occasionally afforded prominent and wealthy John Burke's Society
16:34
members a demonstration of the Quote training activities, after which he would receive a
16:41
financial contribution for the training program. Davis also stated this interview that he met
16:48
Lee Harvey Oswald on two occasions in nineteen sixty three, once while Oswald was
16:55
passing out literature on the street, which we talked about, at another time
16:59
a Wald's department, during which he attempted without success, to obtain information about
17:03
Oswalt's pro Cuban activities. Davis claiming that he had refused to discuss his activities
17:10
with Garrison's investigators, but admitted that in approximately March of sixty seven, he
17:15
was paid five hundred dollars, which was a lot of money at the time,
17:18
by Time Life magazine to show reporters the training site, and that one
17:23
hundred and ninety photographs were taken for an article on the Garrison probe. We
17:29
are aware from earlier information which you have furnished concerning Davis that he had been
17:33
variously described as a quote promoter and a hustler who will do anything for money
17:41
and is often carried away with his own thinking. However, and a view
17:45
of his somewhat conflicting statements about the origins of his training camp. We would
17:49
appreciate receiving any additional information you may have in your files concerning the Guatemalan Lumber
17:55
and Mineral Corporation and its other officers with whom Davis claims to be associated in
18:02
this connection. Attached as a copy of the articles in Corporation of the Corporation
18:07
which we obtained from the Office of the Secretary of State of Louisiana. The
18:11
officers are listed on page six are substantially the same as those mentioned by Davis
18:17
into October the first nineteen sixty three interview with the Bureau and are as followers.
18:25
Joseph R. Miller, President and Director of this company, thirty three
18:32

18:37
Vice President and Director two thousand one Now Street, New Orleans, Louisiana.
18:44
Thus Jay Lebar Vice president and director the pair Marquette Building, which is interesting,
18:55
folks, that is the same building which De ray Gil had an afice,
19:02
and believe Eugene Hale Brady headed office, and possibly David Ferry and his
19:18
brother F. D. V. D. Labar, who is a secretary
19:22
and treasurer in his office is with his brothers at seventen pair Mark kept Building,
19:26

20:22
one four two to two born February seventh, nineteen ten. Hey, that's
20:27
my birthday February not nineteen ten, but February seventh. Huh. And Guatemala
20:34
City, Guatemala, is also set for the in this report, but it
20:38
was not definitely established that he was identical with the individual who would requested the
20:42
price quotes. Well, so what kind of place was this was? This
20:48
is some kind of front who was aiding in the bedding? Uh? These
20:52
anti castro raids. All right, we got to hear the articles of corporation
21:03
for the for the company and they are all dutably signed and notarized by a
21:11
public officer than Now. Interestingly enough, Gus Jay Lebar Right, one of
21:29
the brothers who have been officed in the Paramrquette building who are also in business
21:34
together with Richard Ricardo whatever his name is, Davis UH has an interesting ramp
21:44
sheet h United States Department of Justice fd OUR Federal Bureau of Investigation. The
21:55
following AMBI record is furnished for official use only. Information shown on his ID
22:02
record represents data furnished the FBI by fingerprint contributors. Where final disposition is not
22:07
shown. For a further explanation of charge is desired, communicate with the agency
22:12
contributing those fingerprints. Now, so this is basically a fingerprint file. So
22:25
the first and there's two entries on here. So in nineteen fifty four they
22:33
have Loostav Joseph Lebar Junior's fingerprints. They received him from the army. He
22:41
would discharge from the army November the first, nineteen fifty four as a G
22:48
two. The next place that the FBI received fingerprints from Gustav jay Lebard Jr.
22:56
Is from the Police Department in New Orleans, Louisiana. And this was
23:00
on May the twentieth, nineteen fifty eight. And you're gonna love this for
23:07
exposing another person to his penis. M Yeah, now, I think that's
23:21
what it means, because I'll tell you exactly what it says. Exposing his
23:26
person too with his penis. I'm guessing that he took it out and shook
23:37
it at somebody at some point, maybe scared an old lady or child with
23:41
it, who knows. But that's where they got their second set of fingerprints
23:56
from the New Orleans PD. Lots of good, wholesome folks in New Orleans
24:03
back then, people. I'll tell you what. And just to put a
24:11
neat little bow on this before we get into our next wholesome New Orleans resident,
24:21
I'm not one hundred percent sure that this Rudolf Richie Davis is not the
24:26
same Richard or Ricardo Davis who worked as a part time investigator for Dean Andrews,
24:38
because, as you remember, folks, Dean Andrews also saw the street
24:45
fracas on Canal Street with Oswald and Bringier and all that jazz, and also
24:51
knew Oswald because he had been in his office inquiring about his discharge and his
24:57
something about his wife becoming a citizen or something, so very interesting stuff there.
25:07
I'm not not sure the same fellow, but they got the same name
25:11
and they saw the same things at the same time, so it definitely should
25:15
be could be. All right, Next up we're gonna get into uh,
25:22
a fellow by the name of Dante Marishini, the big cherry on top,
25:30
folks, or maybe it was the bottom who knows? Oh? Sorry,
25:41
all right, Well, apparently apparently by the time of the HSCA they could
25:48
not find the man himself, the big cherry on top or the bottom,
25:52
whichever you want. Uh. In nineteen seventy eight, so so investigator Robert
26:06
Buris Uh served a fellow by the name of William Tandres a summons for all
26:15
records of an ex employee named Dante Marishini on the above date. Mister Andras
26:22
gave the Select Committee eighty four pages of records regarding this individual. Copy of
26:26
the original summons attached to this report. So what did this outside contact report
26:37
from May the second, nineteen seventy eight say, Well, I will tell
26:45
you. On Tuesday, May the second, nineteen seventy eight, at approximately
26:49
four pm, Investigator Robert Buris received eighty four Z rocks pages of employee excuse
26:59
me, employ records of mister Dante Marrocchini, a white male born in February
27:04
twenty eight, nineteen twenty five, in Brooklyn, New York. Social Security
27:11
number DA DA described as five foot six, one thousand, I'm sorry,
27:22
one hundred and forty three pounds, soaking wet, dark eyes and hair,
27:26
bony face and stained teeth stained by what. Well, I'll let you use
27:33
your imagination there, folks. President, Address and employment unknown. The records
27:37
were supplied by mister Andres who's the personnel director for Chrysler Michel. The investigator
27:45
also spoke with mister Robert Taylor, a security office for the Chrysler Michel Corporation,
27:52
regarding his knowledge of mister Marracchini. Mister Marraccini first applied for a job
27:57
at Chrysler on October the thirdeen sixty two. He was interviewed by mister Taylor
28:03
on March sixth, nineteen sixty three, and hired on August twenty sixth,
28:07
nineteen sixty three. His employment was terminated, but when the defense contract ran
28:12
out on March first, nineteen sixty eight, recommended follow up attempt to locate
28:18
this guy and interview him. Well, didn't go too well. But so
28:34
now the interesting part of all this fucks put it into some context for you.
28:42
Vante Marischini worked at Riley Coffee Company at the same time that Lee Harvey
28:48
Oswall was there. He also either lived next door to or right down the
28:56
street from Clay Shaw on Dauphine Street. And he was also good friends with
29:03
David Ferry. And of course we know the CIA connections between Riley Coffee Company
29:11
and its owner William Riley and his anti castro activities. And it seems like
29:17
a lot of his employees got ended up getting hired by this NASA Freisler Missile
29:26
Complex and Michelle. But we'll get there, I promise. So his position
29:36
there was entitled was Planning and Specifications Man, which consisted of maintaining records and
29:42
ordering materials and recording their usage. His work was satisfactory, and he received
29:48
pay raises as they came to He made numerous oral and written complaints that he
29:56
was not being promoted to a higher position because of personality conflicts with his immediate
30:00
supervisors. He states in one letter that he has been victimized by his supervisors.
30:07
He did not receive any promotions that he requested in the later years that
30:11
he worked for Chrysler. However, he was written an offer of another position
30:15
in nineteen seventy two, but his letter would return to the company for lack
30:19
of affording address. Marashini supervisor was a mister John O'Neill who is now retired
30:26
and living in Slidell, Louisiana. Maraschini lists his previous employment from forty nine
30:33
through sixty four when he is hired by Michelle. In his employment he lists
30:40
the William B. Raley Coffee Company, New Orleans, Louisiana. I'm sorry,
30:45
the Standard Coffee Company, New Orleans, Louisiana from three nineteen sixty three
30:52
to six ten, sixty three as a salesman. This company is a part
30:56
of William Raley Coffee Company, where Lee Harvey Oswald worked from May ten of
31:00
sixty three to July nineteen sixty three. Marishini also worked at Arno's Restaurant in
31:08
the French Quarter from June tenth, sixty three to August twenty five, sixty
31:12
three. This restaurant is the same one that Kerry Thornley worked at from October
31:18
to November of sixty three, at which time he was working on his book
31:21
about Oswald. Thornley states that it. Thornley states this in his Affidavid to
31:29
Jim Garrison and the Select Committee's copy of the Federal Aviation Agency hearings of David
31:36
Ferry. Dante Marishini is mentioned. There's beings us as an interpreter for an
31:44
Italian educational certificate from quote the University of Phoenix, Bari, Italy, which
31:52
stated that Ferry has a PhD. So this guy is the reason David Ferry
31:59
is called doctor David Ferring. Thanks Dante Maraschini for that, for this course
32:07
that he interpreted. I'm sure Paine's takingly, you know, from Italian into
32:14
English for David Serre so that he could become a doctor the University of Phoenix.
32:22
Hmm. This university was investigated by Tolling Investigations, Inc. For the
32:27
FAA, or believed to be a male Order University m no Shit Marichini,
32:34
and listing his educational background, stated that he attended the met Magistral High School
32:38
and Magistral Superior College in Bari, Italy. Mister Maraschini stated that he would
32:45
get a transcript of his credits from Bari, Italy, but he never did.
32:51
No security check was made on Maricchini at Michel because he did not have
32:54
access to confidential material. And in Southern Research number eleven and two two four
33:01
dated December nineteen sixty two, received by investigators Buras and delsa from Joseph Oster,
33:08
president of Industrial Securities of Monroe, Louisiana, a surveillance report of eleven
33:15

33:46
to Dante Marishini in nineteen fifty one Pontiac who resided at time at the time
33:55
at thirteen o nine Dauphine Street. This they had dress is located next door
34:01
right next door to mister Clay's Shaw's House thirteen o nine Daphine Street is mentioned
34:07
by Maraschini whin fillingality background check of references. The references given are James Luallan
34:16
who lived at thirteen h nine Daphine Street, Gertrude Harrison thirteen o nine Daphine
34:22

34:30
three one nine, Sergeant Drive Charlotte, North Carolina, doctor and Missus Irving
34:37
Redler Bets Place Matie, Louisiana and Albert Farrow of Loyola Avenue, Nolans,
34:44
Louisiana. Mister Robert Taylor security officers stated that he saw Maricchini one time at
34:52
as he left Michel and he was working at the monteleone hotel in New Orleans.
34:59
As well. Mister William Monteline was the organizer of large donors in New
35:02
Orleans for money contributed to anti Castro Cubans. This comes from the New Orleans
35:20
States Item of July twenty sixty seven. Dante Marishini, an early witness in
35:27
the probe of District Attorney Jim Garrison of the assassination of President Kennedy, was
35:34
arrested here today on a bad check warrant from Shelby, North Carolina. Marishini
35:42
said he did not remember the check transaction in question. Assistant DA James Alcock
35:47
said the arrest had absolutely nothing to do with the assassination probe. M Alcock
35:57
theorized that the North Carolina authorities spotted Mary she Need's name and picturing the papers
36:01
after his appearance as a witness, and this is probably the reason for the
36:06
arrest after such a long period of time. Since nineteen sixty one, a
36:12
warrant for the Mashow Space Plant workers arrest was sent from the Sheriff of Cleveland
36:16
County, North Carolina to Frank Malach, a detective in Garrison's office, who
36:22
turned it over to Criminal Sheriff Louis had Jr. The warrant charges in sixty
36:30
one, Marishini wrote a check for one hundred and thirteen dollars payable to LP
36:36
Money of Route three, Lonsdale, North Carolina. The warrant stated that the
36:42
check drawn on the Union Trust Company of Shelby was not backed up by sufficient
36:45
bank funds. Marischini said in November of sixty one he had worked in the
36:51
Shelby area in the housing contracting business. In March of sixty seven, Marishini
36:58
appeared in Garrison's office shortly after the arrest of Clay Shaw, who has been
37:02
indicted in the alleged conspiracy to kill Kennedy. Maraschini's connections with the case has
37:08
never been made clear, although he was reportedly a friend and neighbor of Shaw.
37:14
Maroshini, who would not discuss the probe today, said he is a
37:16
native of Brooklyn born of Italian parents. He indicated that he was in favor
37:22
of the Garrison investigation, it would not condemn it. In declining to comment
37:29
on the probe, Maraschini said, we cannot add gasoline or water or anything
37:32
that might either excite or cool interest in the investigation. Maraschini, when he
37:37
appeared in Garrison's office, told reporters, I don't know what this thing is
37:43
all about. Sure you don't, buddy, Sure you don't. Attorney Jim
38:00
Garrison was reported today seeking a possible connection between Lee Harvey Oswald. He accused
38:07
the sassin of President John F. Kennedy and a group of men involved at
38:10
a nineteen sixty three raid on a munitions cache in Lacombe Louisiana. The report
38:17
came after Dante Marischini, aged forty two, the fourth man subpoenaed, and
38:24
Garrison's probe of the alleged plot spent in nineteen minutes in the District Attorney's office
38:30
yesterday. I don't know what this don thing is all about, Maraschini told
38:35
newsman as he entered Garrison's office. When he immerged, a crowd of newsman
38:39
pursued him. He ran away, shouting, what the heck? I know
38:44
the freedom of press, but this oh. Marricchini works as a planning and
38:52
specificatin's man at the Cryslo Mischow missile Clomplex manufacturing plant here in Michell, Louisiana.
39:00
The first report of Garrison's interest from the ammunitioncies came from WDFU, which
39:05
said it had been informed by reliable sources that he was trying to trace the
39:08
identity of at least one American, not Oswald, who was believed to have
39:13
been in the group. Among the items seized in the raid of July thirty
39:17
first, nineteen sixty three, at an unoccupied house in Laclone, about twenty
39:22
miles north of here, were twenty empty one hundred pound bomb casings, forty
39:28
eight cases of dynamite, napalm, napalm, and firing caps. The FBI
39:35
said the explosive were designed for use by persons planning a quote military operation against
39:39
a foreign country with which the United States is at peace. The FBI identified
39:46
the owner of the house as William Julius Malancey, New Orleans. His wife
39:55
was quoted in an interview as saying the house had and alone to a Cuban
40:00
exile friend she knew only as Jose Suarez Jose Warez. She said she and
40:08
her husband had lived in Cuba until nineteen sixty and moved to New Orleans because
40:14
Castro had made things impossible down there. Missus mcclancy was asked last night if
40:22
Garrison's investigators or anyone else had contacted for about the incident. She replied no
40:28
to both questions and refused to say anything further. Maroschini and Oswald once were
40:34
employed here at the same time by the same coffee manufacturer, though in plants
40:37
a block apart record show Oswald was an employee of the William Riley Coffee Plant
40:44
and Marischini worked at summer at the Standard Coffee Company. Both firms were owned
40:46
by William b Riley. Marischini lives in a middle class residential area near Lake
40:55
Conchatrine. He speaks with a slight accident. He was born in Brooklyn and
41:00
educated in Italy. He told newsman he once operated at a bar called Dante's
41:06
Inferno. M hmm, sounds hot in there in the French Quarter. Come
41:14
on down to Dante's Inferno, Baby, I'm char clay Seaw, I'm gonna
41:19
be there. Yeah yeah, yeah, all right, so okay. Date
41:35
line December the nineteenth, nineteen sixty two. A surveillance was maintained at David
41:44
Ferry's residence from five thirty pm to eleven thirty pm. On Friday, November
41:49
sixteenth, nineteen sixty two. David Ferry came home at about seven fifteen by
41:54
himself and went into his house. At eight fifteen pm, Ferry in two
42:00
men who appeared to be about his own age, walked away from Ferry's home
42:04
and got into an automobile with nineteen sixty two Louisiana license one sevent eighteen.
42:13
They had been instructed to record activity at the house and not to follow cars
42:16
away from the house, since it was believed more important to determine who came
42:21
to see him. This car came back at eleven pm and Ferry got out
42:27
and went into his house. There was no further activity. Nineteen sixty two,
42:32
License one ninety seventeen is issued to one Dante Mariucchini of thirteen o nine
42:38
Dophine Street for a nineteen fifty one Pontiac. The following investigation was conducted by
42:45
Edward M. Davis one November seventeenth, nineteen sixty two. The following and
42:52
observations were made at thirty three thirty Louisiana Parkway, New Orleans, Louisiana.
42:59
The observation commenced it approximately six thirty pm. At this time, the subject's
43:04
automobile was absent from in front of the above dress. At seven thirty pm,
43:09
subject arrived in the above automobile alone. He parked in front of the
43:15
thirty three thirty Louisiana Avenue Parkway and entered the house at eight twenty five pm.
43:21
In nineteen fifty four, four tutors to Day and Burying nineteen sixty two
43:23
Louisiana, licensed three eleven Day six four one, with three boys in the
43:29
car, arrived in front of the subjects home. They parked the car and
43:34
all entered the home at thirty three thirty Louisiana Avenue Parkway. Shortly thereafter,
43:39
two of the boys left the subjects home and walked in the direction of South
43:44
Broad. The driver of this car is approximately eighteen years of age, six
43:49
feet tall, slender, with brown hair. He was wearing an orange colored
43:52
short sleeved shirt and dark colored slacks. The second boy was approximately sixteen years
43:59
of age, five foot eight inches tall, a medium build, dark brown
44:05
hair with a high wavy front. He was wearing a plaid shirt with dark
44:10
slacks. The third boy was approximately fifteen years of age, slender, five
44:16
foot six inches tall, a fair complexion, light brown hair, who was
44:21
wearing light tan slacks and a light blue shirt. The latter two boys were
44:25
the ones that left and walked towards South Broad. They returned at nine twenty
44:30
pm and entered the ford with the wheezy inter license. Three eleven day,
44:34
six four one and approximately nine thirty five pm, the driver of the car
44:38
left subjects home and returned to the Belt to the above car with the two
44:44
boys therein and departed, driving to South Broad. They parked at a bus
44:49
stop near Broadmoor drug store on the corner of South Broad in Washington streetes.
44:53
The second boy left the car and entered the drug store. After a few
44:58
minutes, he returned to the car and they left, trapping north on Broad
45:00
Street. The observation continued at thirty three thirty Louisiana Avenue Parkway until eleven.
45:08
Piano subject had no other visitors during the above period. So it appears that
45:17
Dante Maraschini is friends of David Ferry and also enjoys the company of young boys
45:27
as does David Ferry. And oh, by the way that I mentioned it
45:32
at the time, Dante Marischini is married with children. Yeah that part all
45:43
right. Well, that's it for the big cherry on top or the bottom
45:45
if you will, The Dante a macin with all these crazy connections between Clay
45:52
Shaw, David Ferry, Oswald. But you know, apparently this guy is
45:58
just oblivious to everything. Even though he was into what David Ferry was into.
46:01
He was responsible for making him a doctor, doctor David Ferry. So
46:07
yeah, this guy's got some very interesting stuff going on with him and was
46:12
the fourth person disappointed by Clay or Jim Garrison. Okay, so I mean
46:22
he even worked at the same restaurant carry Thornly was that in New Orleans at
46:25
the same time he's writing a book about Oswald. The connections between these people
46:30
in New Orleans are crazy when you get right down to it. So why
46:35
don't we get into another one? Another fine resident, fine upstanding, wholesome
46:42
resident of New Orleans named Leander Davy. Oh, here we go, All
46:51
right, we have another HSCA interview this time, like I said, with
46:57
Leondar Davy at the Patio Motel ruined them of sixty five. He was living
47:00
large h at the time, or he might have been just been staying at
47:07
the Patio Hotel, room number sixty five in nineteen seventy seven. Who knows
47:15
anyway. This guy was born in January twenty sixth, nineteen twenty and four,
47:20
five ten, one hundred and eighty pounds Air Force retired in nineteen sixty
47:25
twenty years. Is that right? Yeah? I guess so. His mother's
47:44
name is Missus. Missus Davy of eight ninety East Sandos Street in Opelousa,
47:52
Louisiana, claims to have no arrest or convictions in his past. Somehow I
48:00
doubt that. On Saturday, December sixteenth, nineteen seventy seven and approximately ten
48:07
am investigators Bob Bureaus and Lawrence LJ. Del submit leand of Davey at the
48:14
Greyhound bus station in New Orthans, Louisiana. Mister Davy was interviewed that day
48:19
in room sixty five of the Patio Motel located on Tulane Avenue in New Orleans,
48:25
or Davy was shown approximately sixty photographs and he has to identify those that
48:30
he knew. He identified the following photographs of people that seem familiar to him,
48:36
but he can't remember anything specific about. These include Ndido Rashampti, Maguel
48:43
Mariana Cruz, Roy Hargraves. There's a name we know, Lord Neville.
48:49
Another name we know, John Meadows, William Brady, Norberto Fernandez, Leonard
48:55
Wall, Florencio Valaria, and Roberto Cortez. Couldn't tell you about any any
49:04
of them other guys. The following people were were identified by photograph that mister
49:08
Davy positively remembered as having seen around the Court of Two Sisters restaurant located at
49:14
six one three Royal Street, New Orleans, will Buisiana. This restaurant and
49:21
bar has an entrance in the six hundred block of Bourbon Street. Also,
49:24
mister Davy works as a dormant at his entrance from nineteen sixty one to sixty
49:30
three. The people who identified were Harold B. Sandos Jr. Couldn't tell
49:36
you, Jose Mayor all Hepe Loop, David Ferry, Hey, there's a
49:42
name we know, Sergio or Clasha Smith, Ding Ding Ding, Thomas Freaking
49:46
backham Man, say Shaw, Lawrence, Howard Fridly, Chrisman, Jack Ruby.
49:53
Okay. Mister Davy also knows mister Eugene Davis, but the investigated did
50:00
not have a photograph of him at this time. Mister Davy also identified the
50:04
Harvey Oswald and the first and second Tramps as having been in his company.
50:12
Eugene Davis was a manager, Margaret Tannenbaum was a bookkeeper, and Nick Harno
50:16
was the owner one of the Court of two Sisters. As the doorman on
50:22
Bourbon Street, mister Davy did not see the customers in the patio or the
50:25
restaurant in Oyster Bar. He did see people occasionally in the front bar.
50:37
The restaurant goes through the entire block and was at that time and still it's
50:43
one of the better places to eat in the French Quarter. It was a
50:45
favorite with the tourist trade, when which the dorman attempts to introduce to the
50:50
people walking on Bourbon Street. It had not a neighborhood type bar and very
50:55
few people would just hang out in any part of the business. Anyone not
50:59
dressed for an evening meal would not be allowed to come into the place.
51:02
It was not a black tie affair, but people in work clothes were not
51:07
allowed in. Mister Davy worked only at night and was paid in cash by
51:12
Jeane Davis ten dollars a night. One night, while he was working the
51:15
door, a young man that he later realized was Lee Harvey Oswald came up
51:20
to him and I asked him if he knew where Clay Bertrand was. Davy
51:24
replied that he did not know and inquired of missus Markert Tannenball if anyone by
51:30
that name worked in the place. Jean Davis was standing nearby and told Davy
51:35
that he would speak with the young man. Oswald and Davis then went into
51:38
the restaurant for a while. Later, as Oswald was leaving, Davy heard
51:44
Jean Davis tele waitress see that young man there he just returned from behind the
51:51
iron curtain. That was the first time that Davy saw Oswald. He couldnot
51:55
put a time or date to this meeting. The second time that Davy saw
52:01
Oswald was sometime near November of nineteen sixty three. Davy missed Jean Davis the
52:08
night before and did not get paid. He went to the court in the
52:13
day sometime afternoon and asked where he could find Jean Davis. A waiter told
52:17
him that Jean Davis was in the storeroom. The waiter had to tell Davy
52:21
how to get to the storm room because he had never been there before.
52:24
Davy went into the restaurant and up a spiral staircase, went to a porch
52:29
that was on the second floor of the building that ran alongside the patio where
52:34
customers eight. He walked to the last two doors near the Bourman Street side.
52:38
The staircase was on the Royal Street side, and he knocked on the
52:43
door and someone said to come in. He walked into the second room from
52:46
the Bourbon Street side and saw Jean Davis in the room with Oswald laying on
52:52
an iron hosted bed wearing black pants. What about David Ferry was looking out
53:01
of a window towards the back of the rooms. Jerry was sitting on the
53:06
bed as if they had been talking, and stopped when he came in.
53:13
To his left was another room, and through the door he could see that
53:16
there was a kitchen and there were two army type thoughts set up with covers
53:21
on them, as if someone was using them as a bed. In this
53:25
room he saw two Americans. The man he saw best look like the photograph
53:31
of the first tramp. The other man looked like the second tramp. No
53:37
one except Jean talked and he only said see you later. That was the
53:42
only other time that he saw Oswald. Dybo stated that Oswald looked quote different
53:49
the second time. He couldn't elaborate any further on that description, but he
53:53
insisted that he looked different. Well, maybe because Oswald was in Texas in
54:00
November of nineteen sixty three. So who was this Oswald quote Oswald that he
54:07
saw in a bed with Jean Davids and David Ferry. Mister Davies stated that
54:20
he had seen Ferry around there four or five more times. He usually had
54:23
a Cuban guy with him and he came there. He never saw who Ferry
54:29
talked to you. Because of his position out front, he only saw him
54:31
come in and leave. People come and people go. Jose Peppe Mayoral was
54:45
the head waiter and now lives in Miami, Florida. Pepe was good friends
54:51
with Harold Sandos Jr. Mister Davy would take Jose Mayoral and Harold Sandos around
54:57
to the Cuban bars on Decades Street like the Hiba Nabar after they got off
55:02
work. The place that they would go to that you can remember best as
55:07
the Casa de la Marinus, located at six Zho one Decatur Street. He
55:12
also seems to remember the Lasamericas as a place they went. It is located
55:17
in the four hundred block of Decatur Street. Davy didn't know how many Cubans
55:22
or didn't know many Cubans, but he says that after the Bay of Pegs
55:25
invasion, a lot of them came to work at the restaurant. Davies remember
55:30
seeing Sergio or Coscias Smith, Thomas Beckham, and Clay Shawl, but never
55:35
talked to them and cannot put them together into business. He identifies the photo
55:39
of Fridly Christman as the man that came around almost every week. During the
55:45
nineteen sixty three and Jean Davis used to introduce him as quote my daddy in
55:52
a joking manner. Wow Chrisman said that he was from Baton Rouge. Davy
56:00
did not remember the name, but he would definitely recognize the face. He
56:05
said that he remembers Fred Chrisman had a white car and he used to park
56:07
it in the no parking zone in front of the entrance and would give Davy
56:12
four or five dollars to watch it for him. One night, a car
56:17
parked in the zone with the Texas license plate and he went to the side
56:21
street and politely told the driver that this was a restricted zone. The driver
56:27
unpolitely slapped him in the face and laughed at him, and then drove off.
56:31
He heard the girl on the passer's side ask why did you do that?
56:35
Jack? He could not remember what the other people in the car looked
56:38
like. He states that this was the only time that he saw the guy,
56:44
and when he saw photos of Jack Ruby, he recognized him. Mister
56:49
Davy stated that he called mister Jim Garrison in nineteen sixty seven and took a
56:52
trip to New Orleans and told him about the above related incidents involving Oswald and
56:58
Clay Bertrand. He did not tell Mitter Garrison about the upstairs meeting because he
57:02
was afraid at the time. At that time he techie polygraph examination and ministry
57:07
by the DA's office and passed with flying colors and would do it the same
57:12
again. She was not called to testify and the Clay Shawl trial, though,
57:17
however, Jean Davis was named by New Orleans attorney Deanie Andrews as the
57:23
Clay Bertrand. They called him on November twenty two, nineteen sixty three,
57:28
and asked him to represent Lee, Oswald and Dallas. Then District Attorney Jim
57:32
Garrison charged and convicted Deanie Andrews for perjuring himself when he testified before the Orleans
57:39
Parents Grand Jury for identifying Davis and Bertrand as being the same person. Dean
57:45
Andrews testified before the Warrange Mission and claimed not to know who the man was
57:50
that retained him to represent Oswald. The owner of the Court of Two Sisters,
57:55
Nick Corno is a close associate of Carlos Marcello and is alleged to have
58:00
had to have his names on businesses in the French Quarter that are actually Marcello's.
58:07
Nick Carno is presently fighting trial dates which his attorneys have been successfully putting
58:13
off since Carno was indicted by the Orleans Paris Grand Jury from murder. In
58:19
nineteen seventy four, he shot and killed a man in the Lastrada Lounge on
58:24
Bourbon Street nightclub that he owned. His trialed and postponed due to his having
58:30
a serious heart condition. The investigators did not talk to Nick Carno relative to
58:37
this matter. The investigators talked with Eugene Davis several times during October and November
58:42
of seventy seven. He is cordial and states that he is willing to help
58:45
him the investigation. He was not interviewed, but in general conversation he denied
58:51
knowing or ever having seen Lee Harvey Oswald. He does not know anything about
58:54
Clay Shawn and cannot understand why Andrews named him as Clay Bertrand. Jean Davis
59:00
now owns Wanda's Bar, located at seven O four Iberville Street in the French
59:06
Quarter. This bar is a homosexual hangout. Eugene Davis stated that there were
59:12
rooms above the Court of Two Sisters Patio, but they were used as storerooms,
59:16
and Nick Carnal had an apartment up there that no one could use except
59:21
Carnal. As stated above, Jean Davis denies knowing Clayshaw or Lee Harvey Oswald
59:28
or knowing anything about their activities. He also denies knowing Jack S. Martin.
59:32
In an interview with Thomas Beckham on November eighth, nineteen seventy seven,
59:37
the Reporting investigators were told that Eugene Davis attended parties with Shaw, Beckham,
59:43
Ferry, Martin, and David Ferry's apartment. Beckham was asked to get phony
59:47
degrees and certificates for Jean Davis in sixty three. He did and gave them
59:52
to Jack Martin to give to Jean Davis. The investigators will speak with mister
59:57
Davis further and any additional information will be reported. And there you have,
1:00:06
folks, mister Andrew Davey, So there is a bunch of fine, upstanding
1:00:14
