1967 was not a good year for Connecticut Senator Thomas Dodd, famed investigator of Communists and mail-order weapons. Disgruntled staffers had copied his records and given them to columnist Drew Pearson. The Senate was considering a censure vote on various charges, including diverting funds raised at testimonial campaign dinners to purely personal use. His only defender was Russell Long of Louisiana, who had alienated the other Seantors by suggesting that Dodd was no more crooked than any other Senator. As the article below shows, Long needed help from a pair of New Orleans attorneys:

...
Sen. Russell B. Long, D-La., Dodd's only declared defender in the
Senate, said a New Orleans lawyer named Eberhardt Deutsch has
volunteered to assist Dodd.
Long said that Deutsch is at work on a memorandum contending that
Dodd has been denied due process of law. Long called the attorney
one of the greatest trial lawyers of all time. He said Deutsch has
already met with Dodd, and volunteered his services without fee.
Long also said at one point, Jim Garrison ... had indicated he
would help in the Dodd defense.
"But since then he has become involved in this Kennedy thing,"
Long said. "So he doesn't have the time and I wouldn't presume
to call on him now."

Garrison had worked for Eberhardt Deutsch's law firm in the

"Mr. Deutsch headed his consulting office in New York City until

drafted for the Manhattan Project at Oak Ridge under Leslie Groves.
He served there until assigned with a special group of technical
experts to assay the damage wrought by conventional 'saturation'
bombings."
