of any such charges.

Russo, 25, an insurance salesman from Baton Rouge, testified he was present in Ferrie's New Orleans apartment in midSeptember 1963, and heard Oswald, Shaw and Ferrie plotting to assassinate Kennedy.

RUSSO SAID the plan involved "triangulation of crossfire," diversionary shooting, a possible flight to Mexico and Cuba, and the sacrificing of one man as a scapegoat to permit the others to escape.

Shaw is the only one of the three alleged conspirators still alive. Oswald was killed by Jack Ruby two days after the Nov. 22, 1963 assassination. Ferrie, a for-

mer airlines pilot with a homosexual record, was found dead in bed last Feb. 22. The coroner ruled death resulted from natural causes.

Russo said he knew USwald as "Leon Oswald" and Shaw as "Clem Bertrand." At a dramatic point in Tuesday's session, Russo was asked by Garrison if Bertrand were in the court

room.

Russo stepped from the witness chair, walked over to Shaw and held his hand over Shaw's head.

The final prosecution witness yesterday was a man who said he saw two men -whom he now can identify as Oswald and Shawin conversation near Lake Pontchartrain here in 1963.

VERNON BUNDY, 29, who said he was a one-time

heroin addict, identified Shaw in court as the man he saw with Oswald.

Bundy said one of the men he saw was young, the other much older. He said he heard the "young guy" ask the older man plaintively, "What am I going to tell her?"

Bundy said the older man replied: "Don't worry about it. I told you I was going to take care of her."

The witness then said the older man handed over “a roll of money or it appeared to be. The young guy put his hand in his right pocket where he had a bunch of pamphlets."

Under questioning by Garrison, Bundy described the "older man" he saw as "about 6-1 or 6-2 but I'm not sure because I'm squatting down. He was distinguished

dressed, gray hair." He said the younger man was "a junkie or beatnik guy

He was nasty. He needed a haircut and a shave. In fact, he needed everything."

Much of yesterday's session dealt exhaustively with hynotism.

MEDICAL EXPERTS testified that hypnosis can bring out both fact and fantasy. They said, however, that under good conditions an expert practitioner can detect fantasy or faking.

The techniques of hypnotism became relevant after Russo testified he was hypnotized three times during interrogation by the prosecutor's staff.

A doctor testified he gave Russo a posthypnotic suggestion to tell the truth.
