RE: STATEMENT OF MR. A. H. MAGRUDER
On February 25, 1967, I spoke with Mrs. L. GUILLARY, Administrator of the Moosa Memorial Hospital in Unice [sic], Louisiana. The Hospital's telephone number is 457-5244 and MR. MAGRUDER'S home telephone number is 457-3729.
MRS. GUILLARY stated, according to her records on November 20, 1963, in the late afternoon, FRANCIS FRUGE of the Louisiana State Police, who she believes is a Lieutenant, brought this subject into the Hospital after she complained of being thrown from an automobile. This subject, ROSE CHERAMI, white female in her thirties, gave her address as Thibodeaux, Louisiana.
MRS. GUILLARY states that she can recall this subject talking widely of dope and of being a dope addict. She was unable to quieten [sic] this subject down. She was removed a day or so later to the East Louisiana State Mental Hospital in Jackson, Louisiana.
Another call was made to the East Louisiana State Mental Hospital in Jackson, Louisiana, at 634-2651. I spoke at first with MISS BARBARA ODOM.
After asking MISS ODOM a few details about ROSE CHERAMI, I was transferred to MRS. LINDA FORE, Social Worker, who informed me that they do have in their possession a jacket stating that ROSE CHERAMI had been entered into the Hospital, but refused to give me any further information stating it was privileged information. MRS. FORE further stated that I should go to the Hospital along with a letter written on District Attorney stationery stating the information I wanted and signed by the District Attorney. I should address this letter to DR. T. N. ARMISTEAD, Superintendent of the East Louisiana State Mental Hospital in Jackson, Louisiana, then she would give me the information I wanted.
With the information I had of the name of the subject, I proceeded to out [sic] B of I and obtained a record along with a picture of this subject.
