Judyth Vary Baker: Living in Exile

[James H. Fetzer]

Here are some recent clarifications from Judyth about some of my more recent posts:

From Judyth:

BTW, the house pictured at 1032 Marengo is AFTER a LONDON-based doctor purchased the home and completely gutted it and moved the door to the center. It then no longer resembles Lee Oswald's sketch in his adress book. I have attached a photo of the house before it was so very conveniently 'renovated'.



1) Barb asked where were the police reports...Well, I have few such here overseas, but found one...the first one, I think, in 2000, Lafayette, LA.....attached---burglary and vandalism--the number is present here and will give her something to look up, if she likes....It will give her something to do......I have others, and photos, also...Maybe I will just hand over one at a time from various states and countries to give her something to do the next few months :-)



2) Also attached is Lee's applicaton for a Mexican Tourist visa...We planned to elope there, you know. He originally thought he'd be able to stay, but they ended up ordering him back to Dallas after i wrote the note to Ochsner.



What is important about this bit of evidence is the designation that Lee, born and raised as a Lutheran--at a time when Fidel Castro was expelling Catholics from his country and anti-Catholic sentiment was high--Lee placed "Catholc" on this document.

They were able to xerox the document for him and he planned to have this and other such documents in his possession to 'prove' he was Catholic so we could get married quickly by what i called a 'corrupt priest" --meaning one who would marry us without announcing Banns, that take a couple weeks...

Barb made a big deal when I said we were going to get quckie divorces and have a corrupt priest marry us by conflating that and accusing me of saying that Mexican priests could grant divorces! I meant no such thing. However, we did plan quickie divorces. Records exist that Lee Oswald was rumored to have been in border towns inquiring about quickie divorces. This was covered up, saying it was somebody else (though no real similarity of name) a couple of years earlier (!).

It's in the book.

3) Jim Garrison's ON THE TRAIL OF THE ASSASSINS, page 163...SHOWS THAT MOUSE CAGES WERE STILL INSIDE DAVE'S APARTMENT WHEN GARRISON VISITED THERE...BLACKBURST 'EXPERT' ON FERRIE AND OTHERS CLAIMED HE HADN'T HAD MICE FOR YEARS...ALSO, GARRISON MENTIONS THAT 'AN ESTABLISHED LOCAL DOCTOR" HAD WORKED WITH FERRIE. THAT WAS DOCTOR MARY SHERMAN.
