(Released under the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 19927 (44 USC 2107 Hote}. DATE: 11-14-2017 : > a 2 NO 92-50 RLK: cv The New Garden Club continues to operate gambling games at Gretna, La., and NO 1205-C reported that 21 tables have operated in many of the clubs throughout Jefferson Parish. NO 1205-C advised that an individual recently attempted to operate a roulette game at the Cotton Club on Jefferson Highway, and after one day's operation it was closed by Major EARL ROLLING of the Jefferson Parish SO. The next day Capt. SAM LE BLANC, Jefferson Parish SO, | rechecked to be sure that the club had closed down. NO 1205-C advised the only explanation he can offer is that the son of the owner of the Cotton Club was actively backing another candidate in the first Democratic primary, and the club was closed by Sheriff FITZGERALD because of this reason. Sheriff JOHN JACK FITZGERALD was defeated in his effort to be re-elected as sheriff in the first Democratic primary, however, he will hold office until the first week in May, 1964. Capt. CY DI LIBERTO on 1/8/64 advised that it is a well-regarded fact that either of the two candidates in the second primary will probably dismiss most of the current employees of the Jefferson Parish SO, and he antici- pates that most of the current deputies of the Jefferson Parish staff will be hunting jobs between now and the first week in May. DI LIBERTO indicated that Sheriff JOHN JACK FITZGERALD has disregarded the operation of the Jefferson Parish SO and for the time being the office is "running itself". _ LEAD i NEW ORLEANS AT NEW ORLEANS, LA. Will be alert for possible violation of Federal laws through the change of political administration in Jefferson Parish. 2* a Soro a et E ne. a a i : | | Docld: 3227687975 Page 3
