MEMORANDUM
   
   March 14, 1968
   
   TO:         Jim Garrison, D.A.
   
   FROM:  Andy Sciambra, Assistant D.A.
   
   RE:         Clinton, Louisiana
   
          On 3/6/68 I interviewed Verla Bell who was with
   Corey Collins when the black Cadillac was parked in the
   front of the Registration Office in Clinton, Louisiana.
   Verla said she remembers being there and she remembers the
   incident, but she cannot identify any of the people in the
   car or any of the people in line. She said she didn't pay
   much attention to that. She did point out that pictures of
   Ferrie and Banister looked familiar but can't say from
   where. 
   
          She says that she remembers seeing Palmer with
   Manchester that day and she remembers Manchester going up
   to the car and talking to the people in the car. She says
   she also remembers hearing somebody make the comment that
   the government is trading with the enemy.
   
          She said that all she can remember about the car
   is that it was big and black and that she has no idea of
   what year or make the car may have been. She says as best
   as she can remember, she believes the car was parked in
   front of Phelp's Garage (which is on opposite sides of the
   street). She said that she cannot say how long the car
   stayed there as she didn't pay much attention to it. She
   also says that she remembers Dunn sitting on the bench in
   front of the barber shop
