- Ferrie had a bad experience with Mike when he was trying to “tutor Mike in mathematics and English. . . : ae “In January 1962 Mike suddenly reali -:.< to the matter. He was picked up a) an Assistant D.A, named Thalheim /Hi a “were present. All Thalheim seemed interested in was.a date on — .. -which certain "acts" were committed. Then Thalheim suddenly - - Attidue of Mike Crouchet toward VU ptain Ferrie during 1961, can be best described as Captain. FErrie being in Mike's way. Here. | 4s the reason, First Mike was not part of the indépendent =... . squadron. Captain Ferrie had. He resented this. Second, Captain - Mrs. Landryh called Mike and asked him to talk with her about | Captain Ferrie. She. said she wanted to "get" him, She asked | ' Mike.to help her "throw a scare into: Captain Ferrie”. She . said she was going to call the police and have them scare him. “She wanted Mike's help. Mike was not too.keen on this idea. — a - Mrs. Landry said there would be no real involvement. She dg just — _-- wanted a little hepp from Mike and to have Mike talk to the |. ,. police. Mike tentatively agreed. a one Then, om a Monday, Mrs. Landry calle “Mike and said Some police . -would come and see Mike where he worked at Puglia's food stoore. | She said she had provided them with some information. She -said..: ~ all Mike. would have to do is agree that the information was--- correct. . Mike had some doubts about this and called nis father. -His father said to leave it strictly alone. However, a little: later the police walked into the store to talk. Mike then told - the police he wanted to talk $¢ his father first. S the police said they would come by his house at 8:00 A.M. the ~~ os next morning. - . — . -  ghat night Mike talked to his father. His father said he - wanted to talk to the policemen himself. ae At) 7:00 AM, the next morning the policeman, Fournier and- - - Jonau came to the door. Mike answered. the door. He told. |... . the police his father wanted to talk ‘to them. They said never mind they would talk to the father later. Then Mike was.” -  earted off to the East. Bank jail. There they let him sit for a. lo: time worrying. Then they called him in to an office. They had "a typewritten paper and started talking from that. Mike said. he would agree to anything they wanted provided they were not . going to hold him or areest him or make any trmble for him. They said o,k, just sign the paper and you can go. Mike signed °. and left. He was told that would be the end to the whole matter. _ uf syner (Septeben Landry — é4 that there was no end | “taken to the office af of ere. he and Jimmie Landry. stopped and said, that he needed Captain Ferrie flight schedule pecausehe might. pick out a date when Ferrie was out of town... ~~. g0 he sent Landry and Crouchet home.- A few days later he picked them up again. Then he told the boys what dates they “<» would have to testify to and let them go. Soe Tg Then came the first. trial. Ferrie was found Not Guilty. Mrs. “Landry immediately called a meeting of Landry and Mike and oo. told that everybody wojid have to act fast now. It looked too
page 2 her as though Ferrie was about to bereinstated. In that case he. would get his back pay and then be able to sue everybody and take - away their cars, houses and everything. So she said everyboyd would have to agree to stick together and prevent him from getting his. job back, © scomehiiates eres that we would have to  Proreee _ - themselves. Mike then left ‘for service still worrying “aboutd a “lawsuit. A Mr, Scheuering came to see him while in camp in Arkansas. an _ He asked Mike if he would withdraw the charges. Mike g¢d said. --he could not. He felt if he did withdraw them that Fournier ~ and Jonau wojld. hurt him, Mrs. Landry would hurt him and finally he would be involved in a lawsuit, Ss. he stuck to his guns «| - Then he was transferred to Georgia, While there a Mr. Brownlee. oe came to see him. Again Mike declined to do anything fearing the - “police, Mrs. Landry and Captain Ferrie. After Brownlee left | he telephoned his father who telephoned Thalheim. Since this- conversation was unsatisfactory the father advised that Mike could do wiatever he g%fg Then Mike told his story to an officer _who said that the cops could not get him for perjury since he had signed no affidavit. He doub ed Captain Ferrie would sue. He felt the best. thing was to come forward and tell the story. On returning to. New Orleans in September 1962 Mrs. Landry again advised him to stick to his guns otherwise everybody would be: sued and lose. their homes. Mike thought differenyl and. went. tothe District Attorney and told his story. ‘On the Strength a a of. that the charges were dismissed, Then Mike tried to tell the straight story to Eastern Air Lines anor in the persons of George Grienr, Bill Bell and Don Landry. aes They did not listen and would not listen. : ve Later he. was. approached by someone reprsenting themselves - _ as agents of Eastern Air Lines offering help in getting a job =. “ and other x! benefits if he would stick to his original story. | and try to hang captain Ferrie. He was told it would go hard © . «. with him if he ad continue to.exoneerate Captain. .F-rrie. ene . ..He was also told that he was liable to a lawsuit if he told the wo truth and as a result Captain Ferrie were exonerated. oe
