GERMANY, EUGENE BENJAMIN (1892–1971). Eugene Benjamin Germany, industrialist, independent oil producer, and civic leader, was born in Sweetwater, Texas, on September 18, 1892, the son of John Wesley and Arona (Lea) Germany. He attended public schools at Murchison and Grand Saline, worked in the local salt plant, and was a student at Southwestern University at Georgetown from 1910 to 1912. Germany was a teacher and high school principal in Grand Saline for six years and during the summers attended Southern Methodist University, where he acquired training as a geologist. From 1916 to 1927 he worked in the oil business. He started at Mexia and became a lease broker, independent operator, and consulting geologist associated with enterprises including Gadley Oil and Calto Oil companies. In 1928 in Dallas he formed a partnership with Thomas Cranfill, the Cranfill and Germany Oil Company, which was later named E. B. Germany and Sons and had holdings in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and New Mexico.
Germany wrote for business and professional publications and published a regular column, "The Way I See It," in East Texas newspapers. He served as mayor of Highland Park from 1934 to 1942 and in 1940 managed the campaign of John Nance Garner for the Democratic nomination for president. He served twice as state Democratic chairman, under governors W. Lee O'Daniel and Coke Stevenson. In 1944 he was a Texas elector at large and campaign coordinator for five congressional districts for the Texas Regulars, an anti-Roosevelt faction of Texas Democrats. Germany was appointed chairman of the Texas Industrial Commission in 1958. In 1947 he became president of the Lone Star Steel Company, originally a government project, which he acquired in January 1948 and expanded into a fully integrated steel mill. During his presidency he used the right-to-work law to break a violent strike. He was later president of the Mustang Oil Company and its subsidiaries.
Germany helped build the Cozby-Germany Hospital, the first hospital in Van Zandt County. He was founder of the Preston State Bank, vice president of Dallas Methodist Hospital, director of Scottish Rite Crippled Children's Hospital, chairman of the board of the Highland Park State Bank, director of the International Travelers Assurance Company, president and board member of the Independent Petroleum Association of Texas, trustee of Southwestern University, president of the Texas State Parks Development Association, president of the East Texas Chamber of Commerce, and president of the Texas Manufacturers Associationqv. During World War II he was an organizer of the first air unit of the Texas Defense Guard (see TEXAS STATE GUARD). In July 1942 he was appointed intelligence officer on the wing staff of the Civil Air Patrol and group commander of the Dallas CAP.
Germany was a Mason and a Shriner. On June 8, 1915, he married Maggie Lee Wilson; they had three children. Germany died in Dallas on July 12, 1971, and was buried at Woodville Cemetery in Grand Saline. ....
And the undertaker of John Germany was a relative of Fannie,

Okay lets tie this up with a bow,
William Marvin Watson was born on June 6, 1924, in Oakhurst, Texas, and attended Baylor University. When the United States entered World War II, Watson left school to serve in the Pacific with the Marines. Following the conclusion of the war, with the help of the G.I. Bill, Watson returned to Baylor, where he received his master's in business administration.
After graduation, Watson became the executive assistant to E. B. Germany, the president of Lone Star Steel Company. He also was chosen, in 1958, as a member of the Texas State Democratic Committee. While serving in that capacity, Watson created one of the first Johnson-for-President clubs in Texas; as a result of his early work on Johnson's behalf, Watson was asked to serve as Johnson's convention coordinator. After Johnson was elected President in 1965, Watson was appointed White House special assistant.
Watson was Johnson's appointments secretary and served as liaison with Democratic governors, big-city mayors, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Democratic National Committee. His powers grew to include many of those assumed by the White House chief of staff after Bill D. Moyers resigned that position on December 14, 1966. Watson was also involved in helping President Johnson decide not to seek reelection.
In April 1968, acting on his belief that the postal system needed reform, Johnson appointed Watson as postmaster general. Watson created new regulations governing the mailing of firearms, which included identifying the contents and notification of such parcels before delivery. Watson retired from that post in January 1969.
Watson, ties to EB, EB to Bledsoe and OV Cambell and directly to Johnson and other Democrats, yet EB was a conservative reactionary...
Cheers, Ed

Forrest Germany keeps popping up ...
Norman Garvin Germany, age 85, to some he was Bowser. To others he was Pappy. To all, he was loved. Our beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend passed away Thursday, September 21, 2006 in Dallas, Texas. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, September 26, at 10:30 AM at the Highland Park United Methodist Church.
Born July 10, 1921, to E. B. (Gene) Germany and Maggie Wilson Germany in Grand Saline, Texas, Norman Germany was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Wilson Germany and his grandson David Callan.
He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Marjorie Forrest Germany, daughters Jean Germany Bentley, Susie Germany, Patty Germany of Dallas and son, Forrest Germany and wife Debbie of Jackson, MS. He is also survived by his grandchildren: Amye Tatum Johnson and husband Jeff of Portland, Ore., Ben Callan and wife Kelley of Santa Fe, N. M., Laurie Callan Mitchell and husband Johnny of Dallas, Gary Fulkerson and wife Lisa of Bend, Ore., Maggie Fulkerson Pieper of San Antonio, Texas, Paige Germany of Dallas, Jennifer Germany Croswell and husband Bobby of Jackson Hole, Wyo., Benjamin Germany of Dallas, Michael Germany of Jackson, Miss. and 6 great-grandchildren.
He graduated from Highland Park High School and Southern Methodist University. After serving in the Army Air Corps, he joined his father in the oil and gas exploration and production business, actively engaged in the exploration for oil and gas in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. He served as President and Chairman of Germany Exploration Company, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Energy Drilling Company (Natchez, MS) and was most active in the restoration of the Eola Hotel and other historic buildings in Downtown Natchez, Mississippi. He also served as a member of the Board of Directors for Preston State Bank.
He was an avid fan of the SMU Mustangs and the Dallas Cowboys. His life long passions, other than Margie, were sailing and aviation. He was very active in many community and industry related clubs including Dallas Country Club, Dallas Petroleum Club, All American Wildcatters, Explorers Club, the American Association of Petroleum Landmen and the Independent Petroleum Association of America.
The Germany family would like to thank Karen, Irene, Gayle, Hugo and Jane of the VNA Hospice Program for their loving care and support.

EB GERMANY
&
Forrest Germany
Are these the "Oil Depletion Allowance" men whom had rumors spread they killed Kennedy?
As recent the companies have come under suit (actually they have been litigants in several cases):
FACTS
7.
From at least 2008 until approximately May 2010, Defendants raised at least $600,000 from at least 36 investors – many located in Dallas, Texas – through a fraudulent, unregistered offering of oil-and-gas-related securities. Specifically, Defendants offered and sold securities relating to three oil and gas projects located in Mississippi and Texas: (1) working interests in three oil and gas wells and a saltwater disposal well located in the Dexter Field in Walthal County, Mississippi (collectively “the Dexter Field project”); (2) working interests in a gas well project known as the East Athens Pipeline; and (3) promissory notes providing that interest would be payable with working interests in the Northwest Summit oil and gas project located in Pike County, Mississippi. Some of the funds raised in these offerings were wired by investors to EB Germany’s bank accounts in Dallas, Texas.
Senate Seat Can't Be Bought
First were the Democrats who came out openly for Bush. The vehicle for this
defection was called Conservative Democrats for Bush, chaired by Ed Drake,
the former leader of the state's Democrats for Eisenhower in 1952. Drake
was joined by former Governor Allan Shivers, who had also backed Ike and
Dick in 1952 and 1956. Then there was the "East Texas Democrats for George
Bush Committee," chaired by E.B. Germany, the former state Democratic
leader, a leader of Scottish Rite Freemasons in Texas and in 1964 the
chairman of the board of Lone Star Steel.
SMU Senate Soon To Offer Rotating Chair
The Student Committee on
Academic Endowment has received
a pledge of $5,000 for the
rotating chair for a visiting professor
from the E. B. Germany '
and Son Foundation.
The Germany donation will be
given to SMU in installments of
$500 a year for ten years. In addition
to this pledge, the committee
has collected $2,000 in
cash. The majority of this money
has come in as a result of the
letters which were sent to parents
before Christmas, according
to Steve Sharp, committee chairman.
The chair also has been
promised $2,000 a year for as
long as it is in existence.
At the moment the committee
has enlisted the aid of the Theta
and Pi Phi pledges to call approximately
1500 Dallas parents.
December 14, 1939: “E.B. Germany, co-chairman of the Garner-for-President Committee, says in a nation-wide radio broadcast from Dallas, Texas that Vice President Garner would be a candidate and would, at the proper time, make known “his willingness to accept the nomination for President.”” (NYT)

EB GERMANY
&
Forrest Germany
Are these the "Oil Depletion Allowance" men whom had rumors spread they killed Kennedy?
As recent the companies have come under suit (actually they have been litigants in several cases):
FACTS
7.
From at least 2008 until approximately May 2010, Defendants raised at least $600,000 from at least 36 investors – many located in Dallas, Texas – through a fraudulent, unregistered offering of oil-and-gas-related securities. Specifically, Defendants offered and sold securities relating to three oil and gas projects located in Mississippi and Texas: (1) working interests in three oil and gas wells and a saltwater disposal well located in the Dexter Field in Walthal County, Mississippi (collectively “the Dexter Field project”); (2) working interests in a gas well project known as the East Athens Pipeline; and (3) promissory notes providing that interest would be payable with working interests in the Northwest Summit oil and gas project located in Pike County, Mississippi. Some of the funds raised in these offerings were wired by investors to EB Germany’s bank accounts in Dallas, Texas.
Senate Seat Can't Be Bought
First were the Democrats who came out openly for Bush. The vehicle for this
defection was called Conservative Democrats for Bush, chaired by Ed Drake,
the former leader of the state's Democrats for Eisenhower in 1952. Drake
was joined by former Governor Allan Shivers, who had also backed Ike and
Dick in 1952 and 1956. Then there was the "East Texas Democrats for George
Bush Committee," chaired by E.B. Germany, the former state Democratic
leader, a leader of Scottish Rite Freemasons in Texas and in 1964 the
chairman of the board of Lone Star Steel.
SMU Senate Soon To Offer Rotating Chair
The Student Committee on
Academic Endowment has received
a pledge of $5,000 for the
rotating chair for a visiting professor
from the E. B. Germany '
and Son Foundation.
The Germany donation will be
given to SMU in installments of
$500 a year for ten years. In addition
to this pledge, the committee
has collected $2,000 in
cash. The majority of this money
has come in as a result of the
letters which were sent to parents
before Christmas, according
to Steve Sharp, committee chairman.
The chair also has been
promised $2,000 a year for as
long as it is in existence.
At the moment the committee
has enlisted the aid of the Theta
and Pi Phi pledges to call approximately
1500 Dallas parents.
December 14, 1939: “E.B. Germany, co-chairman of the Garner-for-President Committee, says in a nation-wide radio broadcast from Dallas, Texas that Vice President Garner would be a candidate and would, at the proper time, make known “his willingness to accept the nomination for President.”” (NYT)

1970: Grier and Louise's eldest son, Grier, Jr starts up a journal called "The New Democrat" which he edits with Stephen Schlesinger, son of JFK aide and historian, Arthur
October 26, 1970: Conservative journalist, John Chamberlain writes widely published article, "Where else Can Democrats Go?" predicts that Raggio (whom Chamberlain describes as a Mayor John Lindsay functionary) and Schlesinger are "sewing the dragon's teeth" through their support of McGovern which he states will lead to problems at the '72 convention unless the Left gets its way
1972: Gary Allen, a John Birch Society propagandist and author of "None Dare Call it Conspiracy" publishes "Richard Nixon: The Man Behind the Mask" which quotes from the Chamberlain article, suggesting that Nixon and some of the Left in the Democratic Party are "part of the same conspiracy".
According to Allen, the Left, with Raggio and Schlesinger playing prominent roles, will split the party, ensuring an easy win for Nixon

This Bledsoe spent a lot of time and money to locate origin of the surname in Prussia/Germany
"The surname BLEDSOE, as with BEDSOLE, originated in Prussia which became Germany. That is NOT to say that Lewis Bletso, b. 1600 did not originate in England, as he assuredly did. But I have no question that HIS ancestors came from Prussia. Prior to Prussia,...who knows ?." -JD Bledsoe
Mary's son Porter needs more attention,
Rank attained: PO3
Wars/Conflicts: World War II, Korea
Petty Officer Third Class or equivalent of a Corporal.
Then again he could have just given her his units address stateside and his mail would naturally be forwarded to him.
But if he was an Naval instructor in languages or other Diplomatic Affairs he could be reservist instructor, or receiving other instruction.
OR
Dick Bledsoe her other son, whom did live in California, was he there in San Fransisco? At TI? Is Mary confusing them?
7 A Military Seminar for Dental officers of the U.S. Naval Reserve not
on active duty will be held at the Naval Station, Treasure Island, during the
Annual Session of the American Dental Association, at San Francisco,
October 17-19, 1955. Points for promotion and retirement may be earned
by Reserve Dental Officers by attending various meetings of the seminar
which will be of military or professional interest and conducted by author-
ized military personnel. Further information and details will be announced
at a later date. (TIO, BuMed)
Social Security number 460-22-3745 was issued to PORTER LEE BLEDSOE, who was born 19 May 1924 and, Death Master File says, died 29 April 2005.

Steve can you contact the Ripley Museum and ask if any of the furniture had been repaired?
Like a broken table leg.
I noticed the chair doesn't match the set, perhaps it was destroyed during an altercation at the Bledsoe address??

Mary's son Porter needs more attention,
Military Service
Branch of service: Us Navy, Us NavyRank attained: PO3
Wars/Conflicts: World War II, Korea
Petty Officer Third Class or equivalent of a Corporal.
If Porter kept his service private, especially going to foreign theaters of war, Porter may have spared his mothers agony by giving her the TI address in San Fran.Mr. JENNER - When your son was in the Navy, did he have a duffelbag?
Mrs. BLEDSOE - No. Now, it was so long ago--it was--I don't know whether he did. I don't think he did. He didn't. He was an instructor at TI.
Mr. JENNER - Was he stationed here in Dallas?
Mrs. BLEDSOE - No, TI. Treasure Island.
Mr. JENNER - Oh, Treasure Island. How long did this discussion with him in the room take?
Then again he could have just given her his units address stateside and his mail would naturally be forwarded to him.

Evelyn Violet Brown got her social security number in CA between 1936-'50
She died in Walnut Creek Ca, and if the kids Ron And Randy went to school in California it would be a stretch to have them in LCAP.
An Randy Bledsoe I did find in Walnut Creek, class of 1960...
And here is Ron in Walnut Creek (Las Lomas) with Randy in 1959...
And Randolph (Randy) in the same yr book
It would be easier to connect the two CAP units with Ferrie and EB GERMANY,
In July 1942 Eugene Benjamin Germany he was appointed intelligence officer on the wing staff of the Civil Air Patrol and group commander of the Dallas CAP.
Germany was a Mason so he would know the cops whom were in the Masons like Paul Bentley and his 32nd Degree Masonic Ring which leaves a mark on Lee's face.

Like a broken table leg.
I noticed the chair doesn't match the set, perhaps it was destroyed during an altercation at the Bledsoe address??
I don't have any connection to the Ripley Museum, but if the chair had been damaged and replaced, and it came out of 621 N. Marsalis, it might (and I stress might, because the authenticity of the following General Offense Report has been disputed for years).
I'll try to insert it here, but if that doesn't work, it can be found here: http://dperry1943.com/images/bledsoet.gif
BTW, you've done some amazing work here Ed.

I had never heard of Treasure Island, so I looked it up. Turns out, the Naval Station, Treasure Island in San Francisco was a pretty intense place.

Ed,
Just a quick thought...
In the news article you posted about Porter Bledsoe's murder, it says that James Moseley and Porter Bledsoe lived together in Oak Cliff about 20 years ago.
I wondered if the Lee in that General Offense Report could be James Mosley (or Lee)
Mrs. BLEDSOE - Well, it is all on one floor. And I have four bedrooms, but I rent three.
Mr. BALL - In September of 1963, you were living there alone, were you?
Mrs. BLEDSOE - No; my son was living there.
Mr. BALL - And he left?
Mrs. BLEDSOE - Uh-huh.
Mr. BALL - Did you rent rooms before your son left your home?
Mrs. BLEDSOE - Well, let's see, now, oh, yes; uh-huh, in September I----
Just a thought.

Why the kids are shown as being born in Louisiana in 1941 and '43 is still something to follow.
But as far as a LCAP connection it would not be by Ron or Randy I believe.
What is the connection to Louisiana in the early 40's?
War preparations?
CAP would be formed in '41.
EB Germany was Captain of the squadron in Dallas,,,

The CAP’s primary mission during the war years was to patrol the shoreline looking for enemy ships and submarines and to patrol the U.S.-Mexico border to prevent enemy agents or saboteurs from crossing into the United States.
However, local communities in the interior of the nation, such as Plainview, had their own CAP squadron.
“The D-1 squadron of the Civil Air Patrol, composed of fliers at Plainview, Lockney and Floydada, is above the average in flying personnel in the state, according to Captain E. B. Germany of the wing commanders staff of Texas,” said the Herald on Feb. 26, 1943.
“Capt. Germany is going over records of the home squadron Wednesday night at a gathering of Plains personnel at Lubbock commended the tri-community organization highly.”
CAP records would be helpful:
Today Collin Hamer is an archivist and librarian at the New Orleans Public Library who still retains attendance records from his time in the CAP with Ferrie and Oswald, where he was one of Ferrie’s protégés.
"The entire reason for the existence of Ferrie’s New Orleans Squadron was national drill competitions. We attended three years in a row," said Shearer.
"The accent in the New Orleans unit was totally on professionalism. Almost all of Ferrie's cadets intended to go into the Air Force, and if you had your CAP "Certificate of Proficiency" when you entered, you automatically had a leg up, and began basic training with one stripe already." -Eddie Shearer
"Shearer several times met Dave Ferrie’s mother, who was visiting him, and she told Shearer that Dave's brother was a nuclear physicist. Intrigued, I tracked Ferrie's only living relative, his brother the nuclear physicist, who was living in California. He was unwilling to talk."

Born on October 30, 1924 in Cleveland, Ohio, he is survived by his six children (Pamela Estabrook, Christine Estabrook, James MacEgan, Eileen Ramsey, Thomas MacEgan and Catherine Schwanke), fifteen grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
An alumnus of Cathedral Latin High School in Cleveland, Ohio, Parm graduated in 1942, and earned the Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemical Engineering from Case Institute of Technology in 1951. He took his Masters' Degree in Business Administration from San Diego State University in 1976.
On his 18th birthday in 1942, Parm enlisted in the Army Air Corp. As a pilot, Lt. Ferrie flew the B-24 Liberator in the European Theater for the duration of WWII. He baled out during one mission and sent his parachute home to Cleveland to his fiancé, Rosemary Catherine Egan, who had it made into her wedding dress.
Parm and Rosemary were married on July 27, 1946 in Cleveland, Ohio, at St. Patrick's Catholic Church. Their union produced six children, fifteen grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
Parm was greatly admired in industry, working primarily in the field of nuclear energy. A highlight of his career was working for Babcock and Wilcox Company on the first nuclear-powered Submarines, and later with commercial power plants and co-generation power plants.

Thanks Steve,
The damage to Chairs in the report would fit the missing chair, and bed could be checked by the museum.
I'm sure they would want any extra documentation they can get.
The report and a repair to the furniture/bed would be strong circumstantial evidence supporting the story (Oswald lived there)( Oswald had an altercation)
As for Mosley living at Mary Bledsoe's anything is possible, I do recall Mary died in '69 and lost the property to a lawyer soon after.
Porter died in in '05 so the time frame may rule out 621 Marsalis.
Need to check when Bledsoe lost title to property.(again..)
Cheers, Ed

The idea I had and I see others too, was that Bledsoe was working insurance/bonds and somehow Porters dead mothers property wound up with Bill Knox a Lawyer/Bondsman.

Harry Eugene Claiborne (July 5, 1917 – January 19, 2004) was a United States district court judge who was impeached for tax evasion. He was only the fifth person in U.S. history to be removed from office through impeachment by the U.S. Congress, and the first since Halsted Ritter in 1936.
Harry Eugene Claiborne was born in McRae, Arkansas and graduated from Cumberland School of Law at Cumberland University in 1941. He was admitted to both the Arkansas and Nevada bars, and spent two years as a deputy prosecutor before becoming a well-known defense attorney in Las Vegas.
Claiborne ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in 1964, losing in the Democratic primary. He was appointed to be a federal judge for the United States District Court for the District of Nevada by President Jimmy Carter in 1978, on the recommendation of his former opponent, Senator Howard Cannon.
Claiborne was indicted by a federal grand jury for bribery, fraud, and tax evasion in December 1983. In April 1984, however, the jury deadlocked and a mistrial was declared. He was tried again in July on only the evasion charges and was found guilty the next month, making him the first federal judge ever convicted of crimes while on the bench. Claiborne was sentenced to two years in prison in October, and was in prison from May 1986 to October 1987. Many lawyers and judges in the Nevada legal community regarded it as a case of selective prosecution. According to Nevada State District Judge Michael Cherry in 2004, "He was very, very fair to criminal defendants to his detriment. I think that is why the government was so interested in prosecuting him and knocking him off the bench."[1]
Harry E. Claiborne was impeached by the United States House of Representatives on July 22, 1986, on two charges of tax evasion and one charge of bringing disrepute to the federal judiciary. He was convicted by the U.S. Senate on October 9, 1986, removing him from office.
Claiborne was allowed to begin practicing law again in Nevada in 1987, in a decision by the Nevada Supreme Court that implicitly questioned the federal prosecution. His attorney was future Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman.
On January 19, 2004, he committed suicide in Las Vegas, Nevada, apparently due to his health battles with cancer and Alzheimer's disease.
A flamboyant attorney, Claiborne would frighten opposing counsel by carrying in large stacks of papers that he passed off as his evidence in the case. The papers in the folders often were blank. In the 1970s he represented famed entertainer Frank Sinatra in several of his legal battles with Vegas gaming officials.

Harry Eugene Claiborne (July 5, 1917 – January 19, 2004) was a United States district court judge who was impeached for tax evasion. He was only the fifth person in U.S. history to be removed from office through impeachment by the U.S. Congress, and the first since Halsted Ritter in 1936.
Harry Eugene Claiborne was born in McRae, Arkansas and graduated from Cumberland School of Law at Cumberland University in 1941. He was admitted to both the Arkansas and Nevada bars, and spent two years as a deputy prosecutor before becoming a well-known defense attorney in Las Vegas.
Claiborne ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in 1964, losing in the Democratic primary. He was appointed to be a federal judge for the United States District Court for the District of Nevada by President Jimmy Carter in 1978, on the recommendation of his former opponent, Senator Howard Cannon.
Claiborne was indicted by a federal grand jury for bribery, fraud, and tax evasion in December 1983. In April 1984, however, the jury deadlocked and a mistrial was declared. He was tried again in July on only the evasion charges and was found guilty the next month, making him the first federal judge ever convicted of crimes while on the bench. Claiborne was sentenced to two years in prison in October, and was in prison from May 1986 to October 1987. Many lawyers and judges in the Nevada legal community regarded it as a case of selective prosecution. According to Nevada State District Judge Michael Cherry in 2004, "He was very, very fair to criminal defendants to his detriment. I think that is why the government was so interested in prosecuting him and knocking him off the bench."[1]

1. The document is an obvious fake
2. Oswald never boarded with Bledsoe.
Given those premises, as well as the following, on what basis and when would such a document be useful?
According to this, the document has been floating around since (probably before) 1967 and first surfaced via either Buddy Walthers, Day or a booking officer named Currie. http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/bledsoe.txt
That also points out numerous issues with the document, not least being the spelling of Hidell with just one "l".
But it also indicates the form was of the type being used in October, 1963.
THEORY
We know that the DPD was not averse to concocting it's own evidence. I think sometime after Bledsoe surfaced (and after Ruby shot Oswald) and they needed a witness who knew Oswald so they could definitively place him on McWatters bus, they manufactured this paperwork. More than that, they piled on by adding in the alleged aliases and trying to tie him to a communist/Jewish plot by also linking him to Ruby.
That he is listed on the form as Rubenstein is the elephant in the room. He was charged with Oswald's murder under the name "Ruby". Whenever the name "Rubenstein" is used, it is most often an attempt to emphasize that he is Jewish - and so the logic goes - also a commie.
If all of this is accurate, the attempt to tie Oswald to Ruby ended up one step too far. Conspiracy was off the table. It had to be deep-sixed, but was later circulated just to stir the pot up a bit when all sorts of conspiracies where being floated.

Funny, Parmely Thomas Ferrie is working on nuclear subs for B&W and David Ferrie is working on minisubs for FRD
Ferrie worked with Sergio Arcacha
Smith in counter-revolutionary
activities. Ferrie built two miniature
submarines which he planned to use in
an attack on Havana Harbor. (6) Ferrie
was questioned by the FBI on August
22, 1961 concerning the submarines
and he stated that he was "working
with, and assisting, the Cuban
Revolutionary Front
These Ferrie brothers must be tied at the hip!!
Flying, Texas, Subs, shoot Ferrie wanted to be a priest though...
well they can be exact.
Was the 19-20 year old described below "Patrick Layton Martens?"
On September 15, 1960, Arthur W.
Koon, Federal Aeronautics
Administration Tower, Moisant
Airport, told the FBI that "a former
secretary in his office, a Mrs. John F.
Barrett of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana,
had told him that her 14-year-old son
had been influenced to join an
organization called 'Omnipotent.' She
stated that he had been influenced by
a 19 or 20-year-old boy whose name
was unknown to her. Members of that
organization had to swear allegiance
and obedience to the 19 or 20-year-old
boy and that the purpose of this
organization was to train people
concerning what they should do in the
event of an all-out attack against the
United States. A 'Dr. Ferrie' was
behind this organization." (27)
MARTENS, FERRIE and Al- 1 t
vin R. Beauboeuf were ar- (
rested by Garrison two days
after the Nov. 22, 1963, assas-
sination.
They were questioned by the »
DA’s office and they made 3
statements to federal author- j
ities and then were released.
Beauboeuf has inherited the
estate of Ferrie, Beauboeuf’s
attorney, Hugh B. Exnocios,
says that he intends “to show
that David Ferrie had no con-
nection with conspiring to as-
sassinate the President.”
Alvin R. Beauboeuf said this:
Q: ...Why didn't you accept the offer?
A. Because I wouldn't morally feel right knowing that I lied on the stand, plus taking the chance of being charged with perjury.
Q. But you did consider it at one point, did you not?
A. No, I didn't. I considered it to the point of telling the truth and giving a blank check on my mind to hypnosis, sodium Pentothal and lie detector test.
Who the heck was going to hypnotize him?
Sounds odd the first thing out his mouth is hypnosis, with the hypnosis talk by Ruby, the Magician/Hypnotist and others, all play into my thoughts on this. Sounds like Alvin was trained or aware of all these interrogation techniques. And had great confidence in his ability to pass each.
Playboy: All right. The May 15th issue of Newsweek charged that two of your investigators offered David Ferrie’s former roommate, Alvin Beauboeuf, $3000 and an airline job if he would help substantiate your charges against Clay Shaw. How do you answer this accusation?
Garrison: Mr. Beauboeuf was one of the two men who accompanied David Ferrie on a mysterious trip from New Orleans to Texas on the day of the assassination, so naturally we were interested in him from the very start of our investigation. At first he showed every willingness to cooperate with our office; but after Ferrie’s death, somebody gave him a free trip to Washington. From that moment on, a change came over Beauboeuf; he refused to cooperate with us any further and he made the charges against my investigators to which you refer.
Fortunately, Beauboeuf had signed an affidavit on April 12th — well after the alleged bribe offer was supposed to have been made — affirming that “no representative of the New Orleans Parish district attorney’s office has ever asked me to do anything but to tell the truth. Any inference or statement by anyone to the contrary has no basis in fact.” As soon as his attorney began broadcasting his charges, we asked the New Orleans police department to thoroughly investigate the matter.
And on June 12th, the police department — which is not, believe me, in the pocket of the district attorney’s office — released a report concluding that exhaustive investigation by the police intelligence branch had cleared my staff of any attempt to bribe or threaten Beauboeuf into giving untrue testimony. There was no mention of this report, predictably enough, in Newsweek.
Here is article showing Parm Ferrie was doing business for the church. Yep, after nuclear subs, he went to work for the diocese.

The other person of interest with strange affidavit is Coffey.
Melvin Stacey Coffey ( b.1940) lived in New Orleans. In 1953, he "started hanging around the CAP. Coffey left the squadron in September 1957, and joined the U.S. Army in November 1958, stationed in New Mexico.
Coffey was discharged from the Army in February 1962, and began visiting David Ferrie once a week. The frequency of the visits increased, and by May 1963, the two saw each other 2 or 3 times a week. By this time, Coffey was employed at the Chrysler Corporation's Michoud Plant.
Early in the Korean conflict the Chrysler Corporation received a contract to manufacture tank cylinder heads at the Michoud Ordnance Plant in New Orleans, Louisiana. The facility was converted for the construction of 12-cylinder engines for Sherman and Patton tanks. Among the division's renovation tasks was the complete dismantling and relocation of a foundry from Chicago to the plant. The division also designed, procured and installed several hundred tons of humidity-control equipment for the 47-acre structure. The pilot production line went into operation, but because of changing requirements, the plant never went into full production.
