One sacl. ©. .ncstea person was Ralph Clifford, editor-publisher of the saw York Graphic, a small newspaper published in New York City. Sr. Clifford made up in personal courage for the limited circulatmm of his struggling periodical when he came out with an “extra“ efition on October 6, -- 1969, carrying the following headlines: ‘12 3ENNEDY PHONE CALLS DETAILE® BY N.Y. GRAPHIC. In the feature sitmy, it was revealed that a Zotal of 17 calls weré made that were zharged to Senator Ken- nedy*s Washington, D.C. office, although only 12 were being de- tailed." Yes, they all emanated from the arexof Edgartown, several -. of them from the Shiretown Inn -- (617) 627-4283 -—- and a few from-- guess what? --the COOK-OUT COTTAGE! Yes, dear reader, according to that feature story in the New _ York Graphic, there was a telephone in the cask-out cottage -- (617) °627-4020. (A typesetter's error listed it as 527~4020. Mr. Malloy explained in his testimony that the digits 6 indicated the Edgar- town area.) Slightly abridged, the Graphic @tailed the 12 calls as follows, the first three having been fromthe cottage: First Call ; The first call we were able to pinpointwas made at.11:57 p.m., Friday, July 18, to (212) 935-8790 m New York City, an- unlisted number, which is registered in te name of Theodor. Sorenson,20/ who was a special assistant i» President John F. Kennedy. The duration of the call was tweminutes. Second Call The frightened callers placed the secom call at 12:04 a.m., - Saturday, July 19, to Hyannisport, Mass., to (617) 775-4732. -This is an uniisted number at 165 Greenwor®, Hy-cnnisport, a house once used by the Kennedy family and gresently utilized by them as an orrice facility. The call lasted six minutes. Third Call . Eight minutes later, another urgent ca was placed to the same number in Hyannisport and the conversation consumed 18 minutes. . It is assumed that after this last calli from the cottage that the midnight callers "borrowed" a bow ride, or “swam", - as the Senator claims he did, to Edgartowa An odd coinci- dence, reported by the Manchester (N.H.) thion Leader's inves- tigative reporter, Arthur E. Egan, Jr., is that a power boat was reported “stolen” that night. It was mecovered less than 200 yards from the Shiretown Inn, where tie Senator was reg- istered. Fourth Call There were no further calls made until 2:54 a. M. , when the , apprehensive callers dialed (202) 233-9608 This is the Wash-’ ington, D.C. office of Marshall & Hamilton, at 1825 K St., R.W. It is believed that this four-minute call was made te contact Burke Marshall, Senator Kennedy‘s Zashington attorney. *_ Marshall is a former Assistant U.S. Attormy General. 20/ Ibid., p- 43, previously cited. -- 47 - ay
