On March 1, 1962, DAMON SHELTON NAPIER, in- |

terviewed at the Mobile, Alabama, County Jail, advised

that about two weeks previously,

he received a long dis

tance telephone call placed from California by ABBOTT,

wherein ABBOTT indicated he was going to visit Mobile,

Alabama, and would contact him. NAPIER said ABBOTT ar-

rived in Mobile about February 20, 1962, and was

accompanied by GERALD PATRICK HEMMING, whom he, NAPIER,

had also met while in Miami about a year ago.

said ABBOTT and HEMMING registered at the Palms Motel

the Palms"

NAPIER

on Highway 90, Mobile, and ABBOTT was driving a 1960

blue and white, four-door Mercury automobile, bearing

California tags.

NAPIER said it was his impression

that HEMMING came from California with ABBOTT; however,

he did not know if HEMMING knew this automobile was

stolen or if HEMMING received any of the proceeds from

its sale.

On March 1, 1962, HEMMING was located at the

Greyhound Bus Depot, Mobile, Alabama, where he stated he

had been released from the Mobile, Alabama, City Jail

that day after his case was nolle prossed.

HEMMING still

maintained he hitchhiked from California to Mobile; he was

not acquainted with anyone named ABBOTT; and, could not

recall any information concerning a 1960 Mercury automobile

of concerning any checks passed at the Springdale Plaza.

HEMMING said he was leaving by bus that day, intending to

go to Miami, where he would again be active with the Cuban

movement.
