Here is a memo written by Roger Craig with some important information. I found this memo in the papers of Bill Boxley, an investigator for Garrison. A lot of the memos have the TO and FROM excised. But the Peter Vea index of Garrison documents at the AARC shows that this memo was written by Roger Craig. Garrison is most interested in people who are homosexuals. His notion reads: "Re "doctors" *Note that Layton Martens, when in N.O., lives with Dr. Max Rafferty; Note also that Dr. Martin Palmer, of N.O., is close friend of Shaw's and was one of the last persons to see Dr. Mary Sherman." What does this all mean? To Garrison, this was another example of propinquity. Yes, doctors must have something to do with one another - and, even more importantly, they are gay doctors. .But so what? Roger Craig wrote a crazy memo, and Garrison found it interesting.

Yup, he's blocked me on Twitter. I guess he didn't like some of my tweets! I would occasionally reply to his tweets telling people that they can learn more about his homophobic film JFK in my book On The Trail of Delusion - Jim Garrison: The Great Accuser. Why would that get him upset? For more on the homophobia in JFK, please check out this blog post. So, in honor of being blocked, I thought I would post some relevant articles on his film. Here is an opinion piece in the LA Times from December 1, 1991 by Tom Bethell who worked for Garrison on his investigation. And, here is a review by George Will from the Washington Post of December 26, 1991. And, here is a long Robert Sam Anson article on JFK from the November 1991 issue of Esquire. Anson is particularly good on covering the travesty of L. Fletcher Prouty who was an antisemitic loon. For more on Prouty's antisemitism, check out this blog post. Oliver Stone replied in the January 1992 issue: Additional letters were printed in the February 1992 issue, including JFK screenwriter Zachary Sklar:

Over the last week, I believe I have shown that Raymond Broshears was a crackpot. His provable lies, his fanciful tales, and his ridiculous claims would make any reasonable person ignore his value as a witness. As Stephen Roy has written, it is unlikely that Broshears ever met David Ferrie, let alone was his roommate. The HSCA interview was laughable. And, they knew he was a fraud, which is why his name is not mentioned in any of their volumes. But, let's have a look at what conspiracy theorists have written about Broshears. First, let's go back to the conference Jim Garrison had with his investigators on September 21, 1968. Here is a short segment in which they are dismissive of Broshears' claim that the assassins had flown out of Dallas but had crashed near Corpus Christi. Note that Box = Bill Boxley, a Garrison investigator; F = Bernard Fensterwald, a Warren Report critic; T = William Turner, a Garrison investigator and writer for Ramparts Magazine; and G = Jim Garrison. But, we've already seen that Jaffe looked for confirmation of a plane crash in the newspapers and could not find any. Did Garrison not know that? Desoite this, Garrison expressed confidence in Broshears as a witness (Broshears is spelt wrong). So, there you have it, Garrison thought that Broshears "could be very creditable," but ruled him out as a witness because he had spent time in an institution - not because his testimony was ridiculous. Further, Garrison believes Broshears on the nonsense about sleeping with Thornley - and as I mentioned in a previous post - he believed that Thornley's body is in the Oswald backyward photographs. Garrison devoted two full pages to Broshears in his book, On The Trail of The Assassins. Garrison tries to hedge his bets in the last paragraph saying that "or so Broshears states." However, anybody reading these two pages would have to conclude that Garrison believes most of what Broshears claims. He doesn't mention that Broshears said that the plane with the two assassins (later amended to three assassins) crashed off of Corpus Christi - and Garrison doesn't mention that, at the time, he thought it wasn't a great lead (let alone that Jaffe found no confirmation of a crash). Dick Russell interviewed Raymond Broshears and discusses him in his book, The Man Who Knew Too Much. Broshears tells Russell that he would refuse to testify before Congress (on the last page). Yet, as we showed yesterday, he was interviewed by the HSCA in 1977. And, Broshears now makes up this story about Leon Oswald, a fake Oswald, whom he had sex with. And, this is picked up by James DiEugenio in his book, Destiny Betrayed. He tries to make the case that there was a second Oswald, named Leon Oswald, who was at the party at David Ferrie's in September 1963. Broshears is one of his corroborating witnesses. Here is an excerpt from page 248: DiEugenio's footnote refers to Russell's book. DiEugenio also uses Broshears as a witness who corroborates that Clay Shaw knew David Ferrie (page 209): In a future post, we will examine all of the witnesses in the above paragraph. Joan Mellen has a field day with Raymond Broshears who is mentioned 13 times in the text. Here is a key paragraph: Joan Mellen proves here that she is a very good stenographer, but not such a good historian.

On May 18, 1977 Raymond Broshears was interviewed by the HSCA in his home resulting in a 42-page transcript of their discussion. Here are the highlights. Interviewed by Howard Gilbert (G), Also present: Jack Moriarty (M). Broshears on meeting David Ferrie Broshears told Garrison that he met David Ferrie in 1965. Once again, Broshears isn't too clear Broshears now says he met Lee Harvey Oswald But Broshears told Garrison he had never been in Ferrie's apartment Excerpt from Broshears' fourth interview with Garrison's investigators. Broshears saw Oswald a second time Broshears never said a word about meeting Oswald to Garrison investigators. Broshears says Layton Martens was also there. Broshears adds some detail about Martens HSCA Interviewers are using a conspiracy book The HSCA is showing pictures from Gary Shaw's book Cover-Up. Glad to know that Shaw mentioned Raymond Broshears. Why didn't Ferrie fly out the assassins? He told Garrison there were two assassins. Now he has three assassins. Broshears says people were trying to kill David Ferrie Broshears had a diary but he burned it... Broshears now says he never met Clay Shaw and that Ferrie was murdered.. Broshears says he was shot at in New Orleans What happened next? Broshears mashes the names of the assistant District Attorneys. Lou Ivon was the top investigator and Andrew Sciambra [pronounced Shambra] was an assistant District Attorney. This story is just pure fantasy. Broshears has a bombshell - Andrew Sciambra had David Ferrie Killed Broshears says Ferrie called him on the telephone with the information... Broshears did not tell Garrison everything Of course, David Ferrie did have an autopsy, and it was a very good forensic autopsy. He died of a berry aneurysm - natural causes. Broshears earlier said Ferrie was killed; now he says he was going to kill himself But, he explains that was in 1965, not 1967. Broshears says that Garrison promised him immunity Broshears is right about Mark Lane Broshears has clearly been reading conspiracy books. These highlights from Broshears' testimony reveal a bad con man. No one could take Broshears seriously. Not surprisingly, you will not find his name in the HSCA Final Report or in any of their volumes of evidence. But, what about the Garrison conspiracy books? How do they treat Broshears? Stay tuned. Same bat-time, same bat-channel.

Raymond Broshears surprised everybody while he was in New Orleans. He confirmed a longstanding conspiracy belief about the Oswald backyard photographs. Here are highlights of his last interview in New Orleans and the startling revelation that Garrison would ultimately take to the HSCA. Broshears on meeting David Ferrie Now, what did Mark Lane tell Broshears? How much information is he getting from Lane, Jaffe and other Garrison investigators? Broshears on threatening Lyndon Johnson Broshears had previously told them that Clay Shaw was called Clara or Bert by David Ferrie. Broshears on his arrest Broshears gets himself committed If this really happened, then Broshears is crazy. If it didn't happen, then Broshears is crazy. Broshears on David Ferrie and the Assassination Have a look at Jim Garrison's note on the left. It reads "Even if everything Broshears recalls is truly what Ferrie told him, it is apparent that Ferrie is giving him some garbage from time to time - to say the least. And this paragraph may be a good example." Really? Ferrie is giving him some garbage? How about Broshears is just making all of this up? Broshears on Perry Russo Well, Broshears was searching for words here...but I guess he couldn't figure out what to say about Russo. Broshears on Ferrie's occupation The films he talks about were in the possession of Shaw and were being used to blackmail Ferrie - according to Broshears. Broshears on Carlos the Assassin Note Garrison's notation on the left: "Carlos: an increasingly recurrent name with Ferrie." Of course, there was not a record of such a crash. Broshears meets Kerry Thornley in a gay bar Not only does Broshears claim that David Ferrie knew Kerry Thornley, but that he met Thornley in a gay bar. Broshears on Clay Shaw Gee, if only Broshears had said that Clara used the name Bertrand, he might have testified in Clay Shaw's trial. Broshears says Ferrie had some of Oswald's possessions Ferrie had a hunter's cap that belonged to Oswald with an LH on the front? Broshears says that Kerry Thornley was gay This is ridiculous - Kerry Thornley was not in New Orleans in 1965 when Broshears was supposed to be there. Broshears was threatened after his TV appearance Let's see those papers, please! I would have sent Broshears packing well before these interviews were completed. Actually, I would have never brought him to New Orleans. As you can see, Broshears believed that Thornley was gay. He went further in private conversations with Garrison's men. Here is an excerpt of a conference they had on September 21, 1968 (T = William Turner, Garrison investigator and Ramparts contributor, G = Jim Garrison, S = Richard Sprague, photo analyst, Sc = Andrew Sciambra, Assistant District Attorney): This is insane. Thornley's body in the Oswald backyard photograph! Thornley had sex with Broshears? Garrison repeated this nonsense in a memo to the HSCA n 1977. Here's the memo: Of course, Garrison didn't dare mention that he based this theory on the allegations of Raymond Broshears, and he left out the part about his hips, etc.

Raymond Broshears was interviewed twice in New Orleans which resulted in two lengthy transcripts. Instead of posting the entire memos, I am posting the highlights - today, from the first interview and tomorrow, the second. Large parts of these memos are streams of consciousness - they just let Broshears talk away. And throughout his rambling monologue, he let loose with a variety of names associated with Garrison's investigation. Broshears on Thomas Beckham Thomas Beckham had already testified before Garrison's grand jury and his name had been plastered all over the papers in association with the case. Broshears either called Beckham or met him in person and found out what an easy mark Garrison was - he'll even pay your expenses to New Orleans. Garrison's notations are on the left - and throughout the two memos, he takes things quite seriously. Broshears on Edgar Eugene Bradley Jim Garrison indicted Edgar Eugene Bradley for conspiracy to kill JFK in December 1968. I tell the whole ridiculous story in my book, On The Trail of Delusion - Jim Garrison: The Great Accuser. Broshears is now confirming to Jaffe that Bradley is one of the tramps along with 'hustler' Red Stowe. Of course, Bradley was not in Dallas on the day of the assassination - he was passing through El Paso on a marketing trip for his employer - Dr. Carl McIntire, a Christian radio evangelist. Broshears on Jack Ruby What a paragraph! I'm speechless. Broshears on "the cell" and Tippit (the 'he' in the first sentence is David Ferrie) I would have found it hard to stop laughing at this point. Broshears on the murder of J.D. Tippit Broshears says that Ferrie said that Oswald shot and killed Tippit. Garrison writes in the margin that this is "possible misinformation originating from Ferrie - but misinformation, in any case." How about just plain silliness from Broshears? The last part about Shaw is obscene. Broshears on Clay Shaw's Blackmail of David Ferrie Broshears claims that Clay Shaw has some pictures or film of a 16-year-0ld boy with Ferrie and is blackmailing him. This is interesting because Oliver Stone included this in his film JFK, and here is the scene: Besides this scene, Oliver Stone based the character of Willie O'Keefe (the gay hustler) on Perry Russo, David Logan, William Morris and Raymond Broshears. Here is an excerpt from page 66 of JFK: The Documented Screenplay. Broshears on Fred Crisman's Sexuality Homosexuality comes up in so many Garrison memos. Broshears on Fred Crisman's Source of Money Notice the last two lines - Broshears is adept at learning information from Garrison and others. A reporter from Tacoma believed that Crisman was trying to become head of a program to help Roma children just to steal the money. Well, Crisman was a con man. Broshears Points the Finger at Layton Martens But, Broshears has a good source - a 14-year-old girl. Broshears on the Key to the Assassination If only we could find the film or the 16-year-old boy, then we would know the truth about the assassination. Broshears on Thomas Beckham Three things stand out. First, that Andrew Sciambra called Beckham a "f------ liar." Second, that Broshears had been reading the newsapers about Beckham, and three, that Broshears had talked to Beckham on the phone. How's this for stream of consciousness? Broshears' Obsession with Layton Martens There you have it - the highlights of Broshears' third interview. Tomorrow, the fourth interview and a very surprising revelation.

Stephen Jaffe went back to talk with Reverend Raymond Broshears another time. This time, Broshears told Jaffe all about his relationship with Clay Shaw and David Ferrie. The three of them were together several times! Here is the second memo about Broshears: You can see in the second paragraph on the first page that Jaffe showed Broshears a picture of the three tramps** and Broshears goes on to identify one of the tramps as possibly a gay hustler, or the tramp might have been the man who chauffeured Clay Shaw (third to last paragraph on the last page). Broshears also says that Ferrie introduced Shaw as "Clara." Would Shaw really call a man who worked in civil rights a "Commie"? Then, he claims Shaw said he likes "little boys" and then slapped Broshears' rear. Shaw also gave Ferrie a large envelope with money. David Ferrie supposedly had some possessions of Lee Harvey Oswald. This was absurd - Garrison had Ferrie's apartment searched thoroughly after his death and Garrison's office even paid the rent for a few extra months to give them more time. Silly me, I am sure Ferrie got rid of those possessions. Does any of this sound like the truth? Would you believe any of this? Well, Jaffe did and Broshears was then brought to New Orleans. We will cover what Broshears said in New Orleans in subsequent posts. So, why didn't Garrison use Raymond Broshears as a witness in the Clay Shaw trial? He was a witness who could tie Clay Shaw to David Ferrie. Yet Broshears wasn't even included in the Tom Bethell memo listing trial witnesses. Perhaps Garrison and others realized he had no credibility. The cross-examination would have made Broshears seem like a sane Charles Spiesel. But, Broshears was interviewed by the HSCA on May 18, 1977, and he was specifically asked this question: That admission did not stop Garrison from resuscitating Broshears in his book. Check out page 120 from On The Trail of The Assassins: This is straight out of the Jaffe memo, no? And this passage was enough to convince James DiEugenio to write the following on page 209 in his book, Destiny Betrayed: Footnote 169 refers to Jim Garrison's book. Coming up: Raymond Broshears in New Orleans - what he told Garrison; what he thought of Garrison; and Harold Weisberg's opinion of what transpired. **Researchers like Richard Sprague thought one of the tramps was "Skinny Ralph Schlachter." Here is an excerpt from a letter that Sprague sent to Harold Weisberg, in January 1969) in which he listed witnesses that should be interviewed: The man's real name was Ralph Schlafter and he was supposedly a member of Interpen, a group of anti-Castro mercenaries, along with Gerry Patrick Hemming.

Stephen Jaffe and Mark Lane paid a visit to Reverend Raymond Broshears in Long Beach, California in July 1968. Here is the memo that Stephen Jaffe wrote to Jim Garrison about this first interview with Broshears. Quite the story, huh? Let's review some the salient points: - Hale Boggs was part of the conspiracy, and Clay Shaw was responsible for keeping Boggs in office. - Two men from Garrison's office threatened Ferrie in 1965. - Ferrie was working for a group of people who wanted to take over the United States. - Ferrie told Broshears that Lyndon Johnson killed JFK. - Broshears repeated the story about the two assassins being killed in a place crash in Corpus Christi - they were supposed to have been flown by Ferrie from Houston to South Africa. - Broshears said that Ferrie said that Oswald was one of the best lays he ever had. - Broshears said he threatened the life of Lyndon Johnson, and he was then detained in a VA psychiatric hospital in New Orleans. - Perry Russo stole $2,300 from Clay Shaw. - Broshears was threatened by Secret Service agents after appearing on the Bohrman TV show. - Three people who worked in the TSBD were part of the cell that Oswald had infiltrated. Tippit was sent to kill Oswald because Oswald had infiltrated the cell for the FBI. Oswald had gone to Russia on work for the FBI. - Ferrie met Jack Ruby in New Orleans. Now, if I had heard all this from Raymond Broshears, I would have said thanks and gone straight to a bar and laughed my head off. But, not Lane and Jaffe. They would go back for one more interview, and then have Broshears taken to New Orleans for further questioning. What did Garrison think? The Jim Garrison notation at the top of page two reads as follows "Broshears' reference to Hale Boggs in this connection is but one example that he is too haywire to add up to ever being a source of evidence - on the other hand, Ferrie seems to have reached a stage of intimacy with him - supported with the apparent use of alcohol + pills - so that Broshears should not be totally disposed with as a source of information and possible leads. For example: see Broshears {xx] RE' F. Lee Crisman and re: Odd Churches." And so while Garrison realized something was funny, he thought that Broshears would be source of information on people like Crisman. By the way, here is the letter that Broshears gave to Mark Lane: Coming up: The second Broshears memo; what Broshears thought of Garrison; what Harold Weisberg thought of Broshears; and a look at how Garrison and the conspiracy theorists have treated Broshears in their respective books. Oh, and a look at Broshears' interview with the HSCA!

In early 1968, someone wrote Jim Garrison's office with information about a Reverend Raymond Broshears. Here is a William Turner memo: Turner knew of Garrison's interest in 'odd' churches. I don't know if Burton, a west coast investigator for Garrison, followed up on this. What happened next is that Raymond Broshears was on the Stan Bohrman television show in early July 1968. Bohrman's claim to fame was to bring talk radio to television. Stephen Jaffe, another west coast investigator, was watching that night. Reverend Raymond Broshears claimed to have been a roommate of David Ferrie in 1965, and guess what? Yup, Ferrie told Broshears all about the assassination plot to kill JFK. Reverend Raymond Broshears Jaffe wrote this up in an article in the August 9th, 1968 issue of the LA Free Press. There you go, now we know the truth! We are indeed fortunate that the guest who was going to talk about psychic phenomenon cancelled. And, what a conspiracy! David Ferrie was a getaway pilot in Houston who was going to fly the assassins to South Africa. The two assassins unfortunately died in an airplane crash near Corpus Christi. And I loved this part of the interview: After the television show, Jaffe went with Mark Lane to interview the good reverend. Here is the start of a memo Jaffe wrote to Jim Garrison: Unfortunately, I don't have that memo from July 10, 1968. Broshears was interviewed once more in Long Beach and Garrison then subpoenaed him to testify in New Orleans. Broshears was interviewed twice in New Orleans and there are four lengthy memos on covering these interviews in his file. I will be posting the first memo tomorrow. Just who was Reverend Raymond Broshears? He was a controversial gay rights activists in the late 1960s and 1970s, and he founded the Lavender Panthers to help patrol gay areas in San Francisco. You can read more about Raymond Broshears in this fairly recent 2018 Newsweek article by Eric Markowitz. What is perhaps important to note that Broshears was discharged from the Navy in 1955. He claimed he received a "serious injury to the head causing what was then thought to be a minor brain dysfunction." Markowitz writes that one of Broshears' friends thought he was schizophrenic. He quotes from Broshears' FBI file which says that in 1969 that he was diagnosed with "schizophrenic reaction" and was "paranoid [and] incompetent." In the 1970s he was increasingly paranoid and "believed the CIA and FBI were poisoning him." In one FBI report, Broshears "insinuated that the federal government intended to arrest and shoot all homosexuals." Markowitz writes: "Indeed, Broshears had a reputation for exaggeration and lies. "He was a little like Donald Trump," says Sievert. "He couldn't take criticism. He would blow up at the oddest thing. And you're never quite sure what to believe. Ray would tell you something, and you wouldn't take it for gospel because Ray said it." But, was Raymond Broshears really David Ferrie's roommate? Stephen Roy, the foremost expert and biographer of David Ferrie, was skeptical. None of Ferrie's other friends or roommates remember Raymond Broshears. Roy spoke to Broshears for an hour and Broshears got many facts about Ferrie totally wrong. Here is what he wrote about Broshears. There's one other small thing. Broshears was arrested in 1965 in Belleville, Illinois for groping a 17-year-old boy. He spent six months in county jail - at exactly the same time he was supposed to be in New Orleans. So did Jim Garrison believe Broshears? Do conspiracy theorists believe his stories? What about Oliver Stone? And, what did Broshears tell the HSCA? All this, and more, coming up in future blog posts! For further information: Adam Gorightly has also written extensively about Raymond Broshears. Search for Broshears and several articles will come up. Very interesting reading. He also has done a lot of work on Kerry Thornley, Fred Crisman, and Thomas Beckham.

A terrific picture of Clay Shaw. A rare picture of Jack Martin. A good picture of Dean Andrews... Garrison's men found some whips when they searched Clay Shaw's apartment. In these pictures, Garrison is showing them off in his home to journalists, a clear violation of how you treat seized property. I love the person on the right! Mug shot from 1962. David Ferrie in better times. Perry Russo, star witness. Russo and Garrison, note the gun in the holster. Loran Eugene Hall

On Friday evening, November 22, 1963, David Ferrie drove to Houston with two of his friends, Al Beauboeuf and Mel Coffey. This trip has become the stuff of legends! Just have a look at page 7 of Garrison's On The Trail of The Assassins, and you'll find skepticism about the trip: "And the more he talked, the less his story held together. For example, when I asked him the reason for his departure from New Orleans only one hour following the assassination, he responded that he had driven to Houston to go ice skating. When I asked him why he had chosen one of the heaviest thunderstorms in many years as the occasion for his ice skating trip, he had no adequate answer." Garrison got the timing all wrong. They left New Orleans in the evening (Ferrie said 9 PM, Coffey said 7 PM, and Beauboeuf said 4 PM).. Al Beauboeuf is still alive, and I reached him in early May 2020. He's a very friendly guy and he answered every question I asked. He said it was his idea to go ice skating. He was a champion roller skater and had never gone ice skating, and he wanted to give it a try. There were no ice skating rinks in New Orleans, and so the idea of a road trip sounded like fun. He said it was ridiculous for Garrison and others to question why Ferrie would drive through a thunderstorm. He said Ferrie would fly straight through thunderstorms and not around them. He couldn't care less about the weather. He still has fondness for Ferrie - Beauboeuf says he was a really good guy and that he was well liked. If you have read my book, On The Trail of Delusion - Jim Garrison: The Great Accuser, you'll know the story of how Garrison's men tried to bribe Beauboeuf. They offered him a job and money if he would fill out the conspiracy story - fortunately, his lawyer was smart enough to tape the conversation. The tape has since disappeared, but the transcript still exists. Beauboeuf says the transcript is accurate, "word for word." Beauboeuf was a scared little kid back then. Garrison's men followed him around and made sure he couldn't get a job. They would go in and talk to any prospective employer. To take the pressure off, Beauboeuf signed an affidavit saying that he was not bribed. He told me it was the only way to get them to back off, and they did. Wire photo and caption from 1967 Does the tape still exist? Well, Beauboeuf believes that his lawyer, Hugh Exnicios, has the tape. I tried calling Exnicios but I could never get ahold of him. By the way, back in 1967 Garrison claimed the tape was altered. Later on. Garrison claimed in his book (see page 162) that the bribery tape did not exist. But we know he is wrong since the New Orleans police department investigated the bribery attempt. In their report, they discussed listening to the tape. You can read the transcript here. Conspiracy books don't mention this part of the New Orleans police report. In a footnote in James DiEugenio's book, Destiny Betrayed, he writes that "Exnicios told me that Shaw's lawyers absconded with the tape. If this is accurate, then they might have had it altered." They didn't abscond with the tape. Exnicios tried to sell them the tape (and to others) and they refused. Joan Mellen claims that "the police discovered that the tape had been altered." One of her sources is the Times-Picayune of June 15, 1967. But the story says no such thing. It only noted that Garrison's men had been cleared of bribing Beauboeuf (the reasoning was that it was normal to pay informants for information). There was nothing in the article about the tape not being accurate.

An Important Lead! What I want to know is whether her new lenses were satisfactory? We just don't know what happened. Well, go to one of their meetings...you might meet someone! Andrew Sciambra would have been popular at one of their meetings. Seriously, the Mattachine (not Matachini) Society was a very important organization fighting for gay rights in the 1950s and early 1960s. Assisting gay people in need of legal protection was just one of their goals. They also wanted to educate straight and gay people regarding homosexual culture, and they wanted to unify gay people and end their isolation. But, by the time this memo was written, the Mattachine Society was losing ground to more activist organizations. This memo was written at the end of November, 1967. Garrison and his men still had a very active interest in homosexuals and homosexuality. A Veiled Threat? Coffey (not Coffee) accompanied David Ferrie and Al Beauboeuf to Houston on the weekend of the assassination. Coffey was not living in New Orleans, and so Garrison had to "persuade" him to come in and talk. Garrison told William Gurvich, “Well, let’s just write him a letter and tell him if he’s having any trouble, we’ll be glad to contact his employer … and tell them he’s simply wanted in New Orleans as a witness in the investigation … He would sure as hell have to come or else they would fire him.” An Important Clue! David Ferrie got a speeding ticket in 1962. He did 80 in a 60 zone. Another Promising Lead! I hope they didn't upset the poor woman. Jimmie Johnson was later hired by Garrison to rekindle his friendship with David Ferrie and then inform on him. So, what happened? The suspense is killing me.
