At 6:30 P$, January 16, 1969, Sergeant H. M. Hart received information
that the SUBJECT had two investigators in Dallas for the purpose of
interviewing Motorcycle Officer J. M. CHANEY about the assassination
of PresidentJOHN F. KENNEDY. Further information revealed that the
two investigators were staying at the pABANA MOTOR HOTEL. 899 STEMMONS

OSER and ALFORD, no further information.
At 9:00 AM this date, Detective M. H. BRUMLEY and Investigator A, J.
CARROLL went to the CABANA MOTOR HOTEL to interview the investigators
but they were not in their room. A note was left by BRUMLEY asking
the investigators to contact this office.
At 1:30 PM this date, Mr. ALFORD contacted BRUMLEY by telephone stating
that he and ALVIN OSER were investigators with the NEW ORLEANS DISTRICT
ATTORNEY'S staff and were in Dallas to interview Motorcycle officers
BILLY JOE MARTIN and BOBBY HARGIS in regard to the assassination. ALFORD
stated that he had made several unsuccessful attempts to contact these
officers at their homes and at work and felt like they were avoiding
him. ALFORD further stated that he wanted to know if these officers
would appear in the trial of CLAY SHAW voluntarily at the expense of
SUBJECT as he felt that their testimony was necessary to the case.
Pursuant to your instructions. Sergeant W. L. House contacted ALFORD
by telephone and advised him that MARTIN and HARGIS would appear for
the trial in NEW ORLEANS only if they were directed to by a lawful
subpoena issued through the courts requiring their appearance. ALFORD
stated that he would rather have them there voluntarily as he could
pay more of their expenses that way but if they had to be subpoenaed
he would instigate those proceedings. ALFORD/then stated that if they
had to be subpoenaed it would not be necessary for him to interview
these officers at this time.
Sergeant V/. L. House also contacted motorcycle officer BOBBY HARGIS
by telephone and advised him of these officers efforts in trying to
contact him. HARGIS is in Room G-l at METHODIST HOSPITAL recovering
