ABLE FOR INTERVIEW. .

ON JUNE TWENTY NINE SF CONTACTED B B H H H H H H B NAPA»C A L I F . , BY TELEPHONE. SHE ADVISED THAT OWEN WAS NOT THEN AT THE RANCH,

SHE SAID SHE WOULD GET A MESSAGE TO HIM CONCERNING THE IDENTITY OF

j - THE "SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER" NEWSPAPER FOR JUNE THIRTY REPORTED- ' /

INFORMATION CREDITED TO GEORGE T. DAVL^T SF ATTORNEY, CONCERN-

ING AN UNIDENTIFIED SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MINISTER WHO WAS HIDING IN THE

SF AREA BECAUSE HE HAD EVIDENCE OF POSSIBLE CONSPIRATORS IN THE '

KENNEDY ASSASSINATION AND HAD RECEIVED THREATS.AGAINST HIMSELF AND

' HIS FAMILY.

ACCORDING TO THIS STORY, ON JUNE THREE THE MINISTER PICKED UP

SHOWED A ONE HUNI/WED^DOLLAR BILL AND SAID T H t K ^ L AMOUNT OF

|THREE HUNDRED.DOLLARS WOULD BE AVAILABLE AT EIGHT AM THE,

NEXT DAY. AT THAT TIME THE PURCHASER DID NOT APPEAR BUT HIS

COMPANIONS OF THE PREVIOUS EVENING ADVISED THAT HE WOULD MEET THE

•MINISTER AT ELEVEN PM ON THAT DATE. THE MINISTER, HOWEVER, WAS

UNABLE TO KEEP THE APPOINTMENT BECAUSE OF A PREVIOUS COMMITMENT.

ON THE NIGHT OF JUNE FOUR-JUNE FIVE MINISTER SAW TV ACCOUNT

OF KENNEDY ASSASSINATION AND RECOGNIZED PHOTO OF SIRHAN AS THE

SMALL MAN WHO WANTED TO BUY THE PONY. THE MINISTER IMMEDIATELY WENT

TO THE LAPD WHERE HE WAS INTERVIEWED. ON THE SAME NIGHT HE RECEIVED

AN ANONYMOUS CALL WARNING HIM TO KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT IF HE KNEW WH^T

WAS GOOD FOR HIM AND HIS FAMILY.

ON THE FOLLOWING DAY (APPARENTLY JUNE SIX) THE MINISTER WENT TO

OAKLAND, CALIF. ON BUSINESS. HE RECEIVED A CALL AT HIS MOTEL FROM .

A MAN CLAIMING TO B E I ^ ^ ^ ^ F THE LAPD WHO WANTED TO TALK TO

HIM AT THE HYATT HOUSE IN PALO ALTO. THE MINISTER THEN CONSULTED AN

CONCERNING THE IDENTITY ^ ^ H H B THIS IS AN ApPftRENT. REFERENCE TO .

THE CALL MADE B Y f M B 7 0 THE VALLEJO RESIDENT AGENCY.
