Mr. Liebeler. And you pleaded not guilty to the offense that you were charged with?

Mr. Bringuier. That is right; that is right. And he plead guilty.

Mr. Liebeler. Oswald was there in court?

Mr. Bringuier. Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler. And you saw him in court?

Mr. Bringuier. Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler. And that is what you were just about to tell me?

Mr. Bringuier. Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler. Go ahead.

Mr. Bringuier. In August 12, we appear in the second municipal court in New Orleans. I came first with my friends, and there were some other Cubans over there, and I saw when Oswald came inside the court. I saw him. He went directly to sit down in the middle of the seat of the colored people. See, here in the court you have two sides, one for the white people and one for the colored people, and he walked directly inside of the colored people and he sat directly among them in the middle, and that made me to be angry too, because I saw that he was trying to win the colored people for his side. When he will appear in the court, he will defend Fidel Castro, he will defend the Fair Play for Cuba, and the colored people will feel good for him, and that is a tremendous work of propaganda for his cause. That is one of the things that made me to think that he was a really smart guy and not a nut.
