Mat Wilson is the author of the above and Jason Leaf is the author of
what's below. Neither are in amazon.com's database as published authors and
I'd never heard of either of them, but their info is definitely contradictory.

THE GARRISON INVESTIGATION
Long before someone killed President Kennedy in Dallas,
New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison had sufficient testimony
from police informants to suspect that Carlos Marcello was planning
a presidential assassination. Rumors about this were on the
Organized Crime grapevine in Louisiana.
Garrison informed the Secret Service about his suspicions.
Acting on Garrison's lead, the Secret Service investigated
Carlos Marcello six months before the Kennedy assassination but
they turned up nothing.
Garrison had collected enough data during 1963 however to
deduce that Carlos Marcello had probably hired David Ferrie to fly
professional assassins to some location to commit some sort of
politically-motivated assassination.
On the morning of November 25, 1963, the morning after Ruby
shot Oswald in Dallas, Garrison had David Ferrie deposed in
New Orleans.
After a lengthy interrogation session, District Attorney
Garrison turned Ferrie over to the FBI and the Secret Service.
Garrison strongly recommended to those agencies that they should
use their intelligence files to determine what role David Ferrie
had played in the JFK assassination.
Quite inexplicably, the FBI and the Secret Service released
Ferrie after a seemingly perfunctory questioning.
So Garrison began to prepare a criminal indictment against
David Ferrie on charges including conspiracy to assassinate the
president. Unfortunately, Garrison took three months to assemble
the indictment and that was too long, as things turned out.
On February 22, 1964, three months to the day after the
assassination in Dallas, David Ferrie permitted an interview in his
New Orleans apartment with Washington Post reporter George Lardner.
During the interview, Ferrie told Lardner that unknown men had
contacted him early in 1963. They requested that he transport a
team of foreign assassins into and out from the United States.
Ferrie said that when he discovered that the target was to be the
president, he turned down the proposal.
Later that day, February 22, Ferrie's landlord found his body
in his apartment, naked and dead.
