	BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, personally came

and appeared:

			BARBARA REID

who, after first being duly sworn, did depose and say:

	
	I can remember walking into the Bourbon House one

afternoon around 3:30 P.M. around the middle of September in the

year 1963. I noticed Kerry Thornley sitting alone at one of the

tables in the Bourbon House and I told him hello and sat down at

the table next to him.

	I can also recall that Peter Deageano was sitting at

the table with me eating a hamburger. I struck up a casual

conversation with Pete and Kerry. A short time later a person

walked into the Bourbon House and joined Kerry Thornley at his

table. I recall associating a sense of familiarity with this

individual as the same individual who had received some publicity

as a Communist because of his earlier activity of distributing

Fair Play for Cuba leaflets in front of the International Trade

Mart in New Orleans.

	Also, I associated him as the person who was inter-

viewed by Bill Stuckey of WDSU.

	We engaged in casual conversation for a short period of

time and then approximately ten to fifteen minutes later, I left

the Bourbon House.
