In tracing Thornley's movements across the country, a Garrison investigator came
across at least one reliable witness who stated that Thornley himself had once admitted 
being in contact again with Oswald in 1963. Mrs. Doris Dowell, the assistant manager of
Shirlington House, a well-known apartment complex in Arlington, Virginia, disclosed that
Thornley had been employed there from December of 1963 to mid-1964. Thornley had been
hired on the basis of a strong recommendation from his previous job in New Orleans, which
Thornley quit shortly after the assassination. [April 2, 1968 Interview with Mrs. Doris Powell,
New Orleans District Attorney's Office, New Orleans, Louisiana.] Mrs. Dowell and another
manager of the Virginia apartments stated that Thornley had left his job in Virginia and had
gone to California in the middle of 1964. [Ibid.] Then, according to the official summary of her
interview:

	Mrs. Dowell said that about one month
	before THORNLEY left for California he
	told her that he had been in the Marine
	Corps with LEE HARVEY OSWALD, and
	also that they were buddies in New Orleans.
	He said that he had met OSWALD again in
	New Orleans, and that they had met at a
	place in the French Quarter that she would 
	probably not like. [Ibid.]
