Mr. Liebeler. But you found nothing in the files?
Mr. O'Sullivan. Nothing concrete.
Mr. Liebeler. That you investigated as to the relation between Oswald and Ferrie?
Mr. O'Sullivan. No.
Mr. Liebeler. Am I correct in understanding that there has been publicity here in the New Orleans area concerning a possible relationship between Oswald and Ferrie?
Mr. O'Sullivan. Yes, sir; I believe Captain Ferrie was arrested. I am sure he was arrested, and I believe it was in connection with this Oswald situation. He was booked at the first district station. I don't know just what he was charged with, I believe just 107, under investigation of whatever it was, I don't know.
Mr. Liebeler. Now you go ahead.
Mr. O'Sullivan. Lieutenant Dwyer, Paul Dwyer, from the New Orleans Police Department, intelligence division, I accompanied him out to New Orleans Airport where we found Dave Ferrie's airplane. We wanted to check it to see if it was flyable, to see possibly whether he had been flying it lately, with the thought that he may have transported Oswald to Dallas. This isn't my thought, this was brought up to me, and we found his plane, but his plane was not in flyable condition. It had flat tires, instruments missing, needed a paint job. We also checked to see if he had rented an aircraft from any of the companies out there, and one company in particular said that they wouldn't rent him an airplane.
Mr. Liebeler. Did they tell you why?
Mr. O'Sullivan. No.
