...Garrison was as good as his word. The towering (6 ft. 6 in.) district attorney of New Orleans had promised some arrests in his sensational crusade to unmask a conspiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy, and last week, sure enough, he made an arrest. Clay Shaw, 54, former managing director of New Orleans' International Trade Mart and a well-known civic leader, was taken into custody after five hours of nonstop questioning. "There was an agreement and combination," said Garrison's office, among Shaw, Lee Harvey Oswald and others "to kill John F. Kennedy." There...
...Black Gown. Was Garrison onto something? It was all but impossible to tell. His sleuths, like small boys overturning a rock in a muddy field, have uncovered all manner of seamy, unsavory creatures with curious links to Oswald. Under investigation are, among others, pro-Castro leftists, anti-Castro Cubans and a motley assortment of beatniks, homosexuals and psychopaths of various stripes. Their haunts ranged from "gay" coffee shops and bars in New Orleans' French Quarter to shadowy back streets in the Cuban sections of Dallas and Miami...
...Garrison insists that he has a witness to a number of 1963 meetings involving Shaw, Oswald and David Ferrie, a former airline pilot who died two weeks ago of natural causes. When police searched Ferrie's cluttered apartment, they filled 14 cartons with his effects, including a "Dear Al" letter to a boy friend ("I offered you love and the best I could; all I got in return, in the end, was a kick in the teeth"), but Garrison did not say whether he had unearthed any clues to the assassination. When police searched Shaw's home, among...
...Bumper Crop. Garrison immediately proclaimed him "one of history's most important individuals" and said that he would have arrested him this week. The District Attorney, Ferrie had told reporters, believed that he had been the getaway pilot for Lee Harvey Oswald's coconspirators. What was Garrison's evidence? He refused to say, but-in what must rank as one of the most brilliant non sequiturs of the year -referred to a pleasure trip that Ferrie had made to southern Texas a few hours after the assassination: "We felt that it was rather peculiar that...
Whatever else it may do, the probe into the assassination has already garnered a bumper crop of publicity for Jim Garrison. Reporters from all over the U.S. and Europe converged on New Orleans, soon to be joined by the assassination buffs who have haunted Dallas for more than three years. From most indications, Garrison's whodunit casts Cubans, both pro-and anti-Castro, as the heavies. But he was not talking any more-no more, that is, than it took to keep his name in the papers...
