    FILES MISSING FROM GARRISON INVESTIGATION

Most of the files compiled by Jim Garrison in his attempt to prove a conspiracy in the assassination of 
President Kennedy were "pilfered," Orleans Parish District Attorney Harry Connick told a federal board 
Wednesday.

"Our criminal code calls that theft," Connick told the Assassination Records Review Board, which is 
trying to find all records connected with the assassination.

"These files were rifled and they took from the files what would have been of great interest to the people 
of New Orleans," Connick said.

Connick said one five-drawer file cabinet remained when he took over from Garrison an office that he 
found in a "sorry state of affairs." Later, Connick said, he learned that four file cabinets had disappeared. 
They contained hundreds of documents from Garrison's four-year investigation of what he said was a 
conspiracy to kill Kennedy. Clay Shaw, a prominent New Orleans businessman, was tried for conspiracy 
and acquitted.

Connick urged those who took the material to "come forward with the records and get them into the hands 
of the assassination review board."

Louis Ivon, who was Garrison's chief investigator and is an investigator for Connick, said hundreds of 
tapes of interviews conducted by the office also are missing. Gone, too, is a file cabinet containing 
material pertaining only to David Ferrie, whom Garrison claimed was the pilot of a getaway plane that was 
to whisk the assassins out of Dallas.

Ivon said he last saw the Garrison files in the basement of the Criminal Courts Building, where the district 
attorney's office was then located.

An article buried in the Metro section of today's (2/23/96) issue of the New Orleans Times-Picayune (no 
byline other than "By the Associated Press) reports that WDSU-TV reporter Richard Angelico was found 
guilty of contempt Thursday for his role in the Connick/Raymond imbroglio. Angelico was given a 
three-month suspended jail term and fined $100 by Criminal District Court Judge Frank Marullo.

In an ironic twist regrettably all too familiar to New Orleanians, the article that warranted front-page 
attention chronicles Judge Marullo's latest judicial embarrassment: he is one of three criminal court judges 
who wrote letters of recommendation to a federal judge on behalf of convicted racketeer Anthony Carollo, 
a longtime organized crime figure whose conviction in a case involving video poker prompted Marullo's 
intercession. Only in New Orleans...
