No, no, no. For the nth time -- THE RUMOR WAS NOT IN THE PRESS, NOR ON 
TELEVISION. Jack Martin only CLAIMED he heard such a rumor on TV. Here is 
the genealogy of the rumor:

Jack Martin --> Hardy Davis (a bail bondsman who knew Martin and Gill) -->

G. Wray Gill (Ferrie's lawyer and employer) --> Layton Martens (Ferrie's 
house guest) --> David Ferrie.

Gill told Martens on Sunday, November 24, and Martens told Ferrie that 
same day, when Ferrie called home for any messages. As the link I provided

says,

"After Ferrie's 1967 death, Oswald's landlady and a former neighbor told 
Jim Garrison's investigators that Ferrie had visited them and inquired 
about a library card. (The landlady said Ferrie's visit was on the night 
of the assassination, but his whereabouts during that evening are 
accounted for.) Presumably, Ferrie did visit the women a few days later in

response to the allegation made by Jack Martin."
