And I don't know who assembled this. 5 00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:23.519 I don't know if it was the FBI or I 6 00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:28.039 don't know if it was Garrison's office, but it seems 7 00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:31.760 to have a compilation of FBI and Garrison documents in it, 8 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:34.359 along with a lot of communications and stuff, a lot 9 00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:36.320 of the Eastern Airlines stuff, which we're still going to 10 00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.799 get to.

So we're going back to the District Attorney's 49 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:18.560 involvement in the Eastern Airlines case. Dear mister Bell, in 50 00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.000 response to your request of November seven, sixty two, I 51 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.199 have ascertained the status of the case is pending against 52 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.240 David William Ferry in case number one seven one nine 53 00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.800 five to seven, Section eight. Ferry is charged with public 54 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.879 intimidation of a state witness in a case pending against Ferry. 55 00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:36.439 In that case, Ferry was arigned on September twenty sixth, 56 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.599 nineteen sixty one. However, the case was never sent to trial. 57 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:43.280 On November fifth, nineteen sixty two, the complaining witness made 58 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.439 an Affidavid requesting that charges be dismissed. The office has 59 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:48.599 not yet made a decision with regard to that Affidavid. 60 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.039 In case number one seven three eight nine one, Ferries 61 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.680 charged with extortion on March thirteen, sixty two. The defendant 62 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.159 was arraigned on November fifth, sixty two, complaining witness made 63 00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:02.039 an Affidavid he did not wish to prosecute the defendant. 64 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.719 This office has not yet made a decision in regard 65 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.000 to that Affidavid. The case will not come up in 66 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:13.280 the normal course of the docket. Very truly yours, Jim Garrison. 67 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:17.920 So this is probably one of the very few documented 68 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:25.279 interactions of Garrison with David Ferry in regards to his case. 69 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:30.480 That is, obviously the case was brought against multiple cases 70 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.319 brought against Ferry, all of them he seemed to intimidate 71 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:37.000 the witness and get the cases dropped. But here we 72 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:40.160 have some acknowledgment from Jim Garrison of I don't want 73 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.240 to say relationship, but the acknowledgment of the District Attorney's 74 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:49.160 Office to David Ferry. All right, next one the heading 75 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.839 it's YMCA hotel header, but above it typed is Jack Martin, 76 00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:56.879 thirty two East third Street, Morristown, New Jersey, Saturday, the 77 00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:02.519 twentieth of July nineteen sixty three, Honorable William Bell, Legal 78 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:07.480 Council Attorney, Eastern Airlines, Miami International Airport, Miami, Florida. Dear my, 79 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.879 dear mister Bell, after my telephone call in your conversation 80 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:18.240 with it, says msgr Periods A messenger Brown, our friend 81 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.160 in quotations David W. Ferry got Win into the storm brewing. 82 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:28.040 It seems that Archbishop Marchena, who's about to be thrown 83 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.680 to the wolves by the clergy of that church, in 84 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.959 favor of its true primate, Archbishop Cyrus Augustine Starkey, phoned 85 00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:39.160 this guy Bishop hide in Washington and blew the whistle 86 00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:41.879 on things. Thus it was that fairy never made the 87 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.519 scene as it were. It seems at Hyde, Marchena and 88 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:47.720 some other people tried to take this church, the old 89 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:51.319 Roman Catholic over, but it failed. According to the American 90 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:55.360 Yearbook of Churches and other official sources, the true archbishop 91 00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:00.639 primate is the most Reverend Cirrus Augustine Starkey, to East 92 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:04.480 third Street, Morristown, New Jersey. It seems after my alert 93 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:08.600 to him Starkey, he sent in his apostolic legate, a 94 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:15.000 father Mario who's down there in Kankakee now straightening things out, 95 00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:19.120 but good the very idea holding a synod to kick 96 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.519 out the true head of things. The main instigator seemed 97 00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.680 to have been Ferry, who once offered Starky one thousand 98 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:32.439 dollars if he'd ordain him Ferry Hide and this nigger 99 00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:36.519 Marchena now Grapevine has it that Bishop Hyde, who has 100 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:41.839 valid Orthodox Holy orders Valette Line, may still try to 101 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.600 again attempt to ordain an ordination of Ferry. There where 102 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:49.920 Hyde now lives, Reverend George A. Hyde, sixteen fifty seven 103 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:56.079 Park Road, Northwest, Washington, ten DC. I also have information 104 00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.680 that Hide is under observation of the police morals squad 105 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.240 there in Washington. Moreover, he's been watched by the Evening. 106 00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:04.079 Star or newspaper there. 107 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.480 If you put the heat to Hide with some of 108 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:11.199 your bulldog ex fed investigators, Hyde will crack. 109 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:12.560 He's weak, and. 110 00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:14.879 He may turn over some of Faerry's old letters to 111 00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:19.360 you as evidence. This guy, Joseph a Oster of Joe 112 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.680 Oster and associates Audubon Building here in New Orleans, has 113 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:28.720 copies of letters that I once talked Hide out of 114 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:32.800 which were written by Faerry. Two hide requesting ordination. Since 115 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:37.000 then fairy boosted that the anti the price must have 116 00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:42.120 been right or something. Your friend JS Martin signed Jack PS, 117 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:44.600 I'll be at Starkey's house for a while after leaving here, 118 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.639 so please, if you care write me there, Jack Martin, 119 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:52.480 care of Starky, thirty two East third Street, Moorestown, New Jersey. 120 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:54.360 You know some research you'll probably be done into this 121 00:07:54.439 --> 00:08:02.120 Starky guy pps.

Next word over lunch as I passed 125 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:24.160 through DC this other day. All right, Then we have 126 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:29.279 the envelope, but Jack Martin's address, care of Starkey. Next 127 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:33.840 one handwritten notation Ferry, April third, nineteen sixty three. It's 128 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:36.679 a letter to mister W. Glenn Harland. There is no 129 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:40.320 real heading here. In the January thirty first, nineteen sixty 130 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:43.440 three report from Southern Research Company, there is the following 131 00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:47.000 reference quote. As a result of direct contact by mail, 132 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:52.960 a letter was received from mister Vernon D. Mckennink, MCA 133 00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:59.399 n I NCH American Vice Consul Naples, Italy, dated December seventeenth, 134 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:02.279 nineteen sixty two. The following is quoted from the letter. 135 00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:06.279 According to the information available at the Consulate General of 136 00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:10.399 the Phoenix University no longer exists. It was formerly operated 137 00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:15.600 by a man by the name of Francesco Rojo Durangona, 138 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:19.919 who also operated several other quote universities in Italy. The 139 00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:23.679 institution was not accredited and, according to the Italian authorities, 140 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:27.919 conferred worthless academic titles as well as titles of honor, 141 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.399 also of little value. Captain Ferry has taken the position 142 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.480 that he has a PhD and a legitimate one. Therefore, 143 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:38.240 we would appreciate your obtaining the original of this letter. Okay, 144 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:42.399 so now we have a direct connection between David Ferry 145 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:50.639 and the Italians via this Francesco Rosso derragona who's obviously 146 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:56.279 a CIA connected scammer in Italy making worthless academic titles 147 00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:00.159 as well as titles of honor, also of little value. 148 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:08.039 And that's from William G. Bell Junior. All right, next 149 00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:13.679 one kind of another minimal letter, no heading really May sixteenth, 150 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.879 sixty one draft board number looks like thirty four, Cleveland, Ohio. Gentlemen, 151 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:22.200 I the undersigned hereby certify that David William Ferry is 152 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:29.519 registered as a divinity student at Saint Charles Seminary, Carta, Hena, Ohio. 153 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.679 It looks like he has a leave of absence to 154 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:37.759 attend Baldwin Wallace College and will be gone until till 155 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.879 June tenth, nineteen forty one.

That's kind 160 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.759 of weird, isn't it. Don't you just normally leave a 161 00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.320 school to go to another, not just take a leave 162 00:10:58.360 --> 00:10:58.919 of absence? 163 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.799 Odd?

He told me the man's name, but 225 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:50.159 I didn't remember it. I went to throw some trash away. 226 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:52.279 When I came back, Captain Faery was waiting an aisle 227 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:55.120 number nine of the store.

About five minutes after three, I 242 00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:38.720 was going to the liquor store and I saw another 243 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.960 man sitting in a green nineteen sixty ford parked on 244 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:48.039 looks like Gaffen Avenue at the side of a Grun's 245 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.600 drug store.

I went straight home and changed clothes and 248 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:02.639 came back to the store to get some cigarettes. I 249 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:05.879 noticed Captain Ferry parked in his car on the side 250 00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:08.519 of Grun's drug store and he was calling me over. 251 00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:11.080 Ferry was sitting in the car with the same person 252 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:13.360 who was in the store earlier, with him.

He asked me 257 00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:27.639 a second time, and I asked him if a motorcycle 258 00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:30.480 was too much, and he said no. He told me 259 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.279 that he would contact me again.
