 Last July I sent this to Judyth, Martin, and Howard.

 I found the interview bizarre and thought it raised more questions than it
answered.


RECORD NUMBER : 157-10003-10114
ORIGINATOR : FBI
TITLE : INTERVIEW
DATE : 11/23/1963
SUBJECTS : DESMARE, HENRY COE; NEW ORLEANS; CREDIT REPORTS;
                      OSWALD, LEE HARVEY
   
           


HENRY COE DESMARE, 2635 Ursiline Street, New Orleans, advised as follows:

 He is the investigator for the Retail Credit Company, New Orleans.

 After viewing a copy of a report dated May 16, 1963, concerning LEE HARVEY
OSWALD, 757 French St., New Orleans, he said he had conducted the investigation
concerning Oswald under account #6605, which is the number for Standard Coffee
Company, New Orleans. He stated that the notation at the top of the report,
"intv. Aunt and two personal associate of subject" made reference to the fact
that he had
interviewed OSWALD'S Aunt in addition to two personal associates.

 Under Item No. 1 "informants", the notation "1 1/2 yrs-2 yrs" meant the two
associates he interviewed knew Oswald for 1 1/2 years and 2 years,
respectively.

 He said he had no recollection concerning the identities of the associates but
that the aunt's name was something like MUREL and lived on French Street, New
Orleans.

 DESMARE said the requesting company, in this case Standard Coffee Company,
sends a card listing the names of references and associates which he assumed
were taken from application forms. It was his opinion that the names of the
associates were probably on the application in the files of the STandard Coffee
Company.

 It was later brought to his attention that the two associates listed on the
application were Sgt. ROBERT HIDELL, on active duty with the U.S. Marines and
LT. J. EVANS, on active duty with the U.S. Marines, in addition to JOHN MURRET,
757 French Street, New Orleans.

 DESMARE said the names of the Marines were not familiar, and he could not
recall if he interviewed them or someone else in the neighboorhood of 757
French Street. DESMARE was reminded that OSWALD had not lived at that address
but used it as a mailing address and had used it beginning in May, 1963.
DESMARE was of the opinion he may have contacted the personal associates of
OSWALD in the neighboorhood, but it was pointed out to him that they were
supposed to have known OSWALD for 1 1/2 years and 2 years, respectively, and
that he had not lived in the neighboorhood.

 DESMARE said he was unable to explain this other than to say that he must have
interviewed someone at some place or he would not have reported it.

 He said if he had interviewed the Marines he could not recall where it might
have been other than possibly the Custom House in New Orleans.
