Destiny Betrayed: (page 209) Another witness who clearly connected Shaw and Banister was Joe Newbrough. Newbrough was one of the men in the office who Banister would use to do any of the private eye work that popped in. He told author William Davy that he recalled an instance with Ferrie being in Banister s office. Banister then called out to Newbrough and asked him to get Clay Shaw on the phone for him. So he called the Trade Mart and got through to Shaw. When he did, Banister told him to give the phone to Ferrie.
Davy interviewed Newbrough in 1995. Might Newbrough have been weaving a story for Davy? He never mentioned this story before - and Newbrough was interviewed by Garrison s investigators, by the HSCA, and by PBS
, and Stephen Roy also did some great work on on this story.]
Lawrence Meyers is one of the few people who testified before the Warren Commission and the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA). He had been a salesperson for a sporting goods company - and had never engaged in any criminal activities and he never had a criminal record. Nor was he ever the subject of any investigations - until the assassination of JFK.
And yet, many conspiracy theorists believe he is the link between Jack Ruby and David Ferrie. He also might be the connection that proves Ruby s ties to organized crime.
Destiny Betrayed, writes: (page 208) This collection by attorneys Bill and Ed Wegmann includes a report by Wackenhut - a detective agency the Wegmanns hired - of an interview of a secretary who worked for attorney G. Wray Gill. Gill had employed David Ferrie as an investigator on some of his cases, including his work for Carlos Marcello. This secretary, named Sandra Anderson, told the detectives that she had seen a photograph depicting Shaw with Ferrie.
