[In the first issue of Deep Truth Journal, William Davy, the author of Let Justice Be Done, submitted a fascinating article entitled “The Deep State in the Big Easy: Jim Garrison’s Quest for Justice.” Unfortunately, his endnotes were cut off at number 51. I would personally like to apologize to Mr. Davy for the error. What follows are the complete endnotes for Mr. Davy’s article.]

“The Deep State in the Big Easy” by William Davy
Deep Truth Journal Volume 1, Issue 1
ENDNOTES:
1Garrison was popular among the people of New Orleans, NOT among the New Orleans power elite: global corporations, the Catholic Church, organized crime, et al.
2Garrison had numerous opportunities to set the record straight including in two books, several unpublished manuscripts, numerous interviews, and even under oath at the Shaw civil trial. In every case, he would maintain that Senator Long was the true impetus for the investigation. As did Long, per author’s interview with Senator Long December 29, 1998.
3The tip came from Jack Martin, an investigator for Guy Banister. Although Martin had drinking problems, his information about Oswald, Ferrie, and the Civil Air Patrol would all prove accurate.
4Melvin Coffee and Alvin Beauboeuf were Ferrie’s traveling companions and between the three of them they couldn’t keep their stories straight. (See William Davy, Let Justice Be Done. Reston: Jordan Publishing, 1999, pp. 45-47).
