testify before the Grand Jury. Host of wh:t she nud to say was coverec in
Agent Gnith's report that went to you October 4th.
The party that we had in mind that was to sweur he saw Hercy Roan
and John Ramsey together out in Sol Smith's pugture scout twe veeks berore Kenry:
Roan's body was found is » man by the name om¥Newton, and he lives in Houiny, |
_,vclahoma, We had him subpoenaed to appear before the Grand Jury, but ue arriv=
‘ed too late to get in before the Grand Jury. We did not question him ot that
time on a¢cdumt of thinking it would be more productive of results if wea would
‘have this min handled by one Jim Rhodes, wno is a former officer in Poirfax and
a witness for the Government in the Henry Roan case, snd very friendly ani wile
ling to talk to Newton. Waevton, so Rhodes states, tole tno of his Primes .
sonfidence of seeing Ramsey and Roan togetner. Im order to set this iroorm.-
tion out of him we want to get these three parties together and I believe that
we can ret the information. If we should go to him and would get nim committed
to & false statement, it would wi pretty difficult matter to put him straignt.
A man by the name of¥Berea ani his wife testified at the irial up
at Guthrie of seeing a car come throvigh by Sol Smith's ranch-nouse about 4 weex
