Dear Hal, 11/5/90 I was glad to hear your voice yesterday, als4t on a poor circuit, and Ray marcus' shortly later. as you know, he is depositing he papers at local teed College, where mina will be and I think Sylvia's. Her papers a there witil Greg ,4tone makes his final decision. Perhaps you'd like to arrange for that as your ultimate deposit. I do recommend it. • Your letter with the enclosures came today and I've read it and them. Thanks. These days as I read L. use a highlighter so when I came back to something I don t have to go over it all again or drubsyst depend on an erratic memory. So some may appear to be disjointed. You ask what happened to the police Gazette. I have sen or heard of it in many years I'd not heard that Snepp is working on a book related to the assassination. I do confess a prejudicpie. As I indicated to you and I think you say there is an enormous mount of information now available. 12 far from all, so much that really responsible writing simply isn,!,t possible without some knowledge of it. So, I have suspicions about all the sudden experts who have something to say without bothering to become acquainted with what fact is available. I am not prejudiced against bis truly great book, though. He did very well and it took considerable courage. moo, I'm interested in anything you noted in your notebook on this. The FBI report you enclosed on a Hack -aubenstin as an informer was not Jack &uby. That information has veeb available for yours. I've never believed the Charles Harrelson story and have no reason to now. I think it originated with Gary Mack and/or Jack White. You use good judgement in referring to "the so-called 'tramp' photos because all theit has been said a out the, is fiction and the first to make anythiA: up was Di4 Sprague. "e fixed the tramp mis-identification on Ike= them. They were actually winos and it wa- almost two hours after the assassination that they were found in a boxcar belling-the Central annex Post uffice. But as to a degree you note, if they'd had had anything to do with the assassination the scene of the crime is the last place they'd have been. I doubt you have any notion the great number of "identifications" of them that have been made. teginning with Edgar Eugene Bradley. I donlit know why you are surprised at anything in Marrs' book. He also prefers to keep some distance between himself and fact and his book, shish I've not seen, seems to be a compendium of all the nutty theories. Sp nothing in it should surprise you at all. I'm sure that all he needed is what Mack had in his newsletter. There is no telling what was meant by any article in Spotlight, which for accuracy can't compare with The National inquirer. Did you know that Lark Lane is affiliated with the fascist who owns and runs it and some political groups, the man who published Yockey's Imperium, intended to be the US Mein Kempf? That story may have had Hemming in mind but if so there is no less dependable source. Ditto for the woman who claims to have slept with Castro, :,orenz. Both would have troubke telling the truth even by accident. But aside from the part of that story that has the man befriending Oswald, it also sounds/ like a Skip Ball yarn because he did transport guns from Dallas (originated on the west coast) to Miami intending them for use against Castro. Hall spoke to me at great length about several of his trips on several occasions.he even asked me to appear with him when he went to New Orleans, which I persuaded him to do after your former governor, iteugan, ruledhe did not have to Well even wanted us to have connecting rooms) and he phoned and asked me to appear with him when he was before the House assassins committee. I declined that but did get to the hearing room after the baring was to have started. There was but a single empty seat, next to the door, and when Skip looked around and saw he he waved and than mom came right up to me. Which caused quite a stirring and press interest. What he actually s 2 said after a warm greeting, with profanity .4- doli't try to recall, was why don't we go someplace'and have a drink and talk after this crap is over. I agreed and then I asked George llsrdner of the Wash. Post if he'd like to go alone, on an off-the-record basis, to which Skip agreed, and we did spend quite a few hours talking and drinking at either the Shoreham or the W-rdeman-'ark. Hall and his lawyer drove me home, in fact, and then borrowed some pictures 1 hadn of him and then he stole them by bot returning them. He is not the only one of those yo4der-of-fortyhe types who liked and trusted me. Hemming did, too. en the recent past he s referred people to me and last time I was out there he laid out his participation in a planned hopskotch invasion of Cuba, via Haiti. Be also discussed that with others on the phone in my presence! I have that on tape and perhaps three days of Hall interviews on tape somelpere. Larry Howard, another of that type, was Hall's associate on some of his projects as he was Hemming's. He drove me to Hemmings, as I remember. Lived in El Monte, Ca. Or he led someone else who was driving me to Hemming's ap artment. You have what you say is a :Roscoe White note from Tony Summers' book. It was yxin had printed but I have trouble making some of it out in the Xerox. as I make the name out if id Robert Hester. Tne note= says he was a commercial photog and ma assisted the police and the FBI. I do not remember his name and have no reason to believe he had any connection with the FBI in the JFK case if he ever did. However, his name is not White. The Oswald/rifle picture was available 11/22 and the police were careless with the many copies they made. But I've flat heard of any color version of it and the negative /Aid examine is black-and-white. I don't believe there was any color version and I do not regard 'orky as a dependable source. There is no connection betweten the CIA's assassin ZR/Rifle and the JFK case or any people who are in the reports about it. ZR/Rifle was not connected with the CIA's unsuccessful effort to get the =Ana to off Castro. Your note says that Trafficante had him as a principal. I have no reason even to suspect this and the chief honchos were Roselli and Giancana, not Trafficante. There is a hilarious story much of which is in FBI records T have but has gotten McGyire, of the than very little notice. It begins with Giancana's belief that wholesale with his wife) doing was ho him on two-timing was sisters, McGuire famous by sleeping with Dan hartin, of Rowan and Martin. So he demanded of 4obert Mahay, who the CIA had gotten to handle that deal, that the CIa find out for him. They got an incoletent to wegas to bug and wiretap to get the evidence. e did name Baletti is Miami and sent he then let it be known that iii anything; happened to and caught' got he it so amateurishly him he would not suffer alone or in silence. So he was let go and adliag it required that had the FBI- know and it gads LBJ those records and that is what convinced LBJ that there been a conspiracy to kill Vastro and that the CIA was part of it....I've rambled because i think you did not know those stories.
