Orleans, Thursday was charged
with simple burglary in Houma,
Sheriff Bill Decker received a
warrant from Terrebonne Parish
nut. Attv, Wilmore Broussard.
The charge is in connection with
the burglary of a munitions
bunker at Houma in 1961.
Arcacha voluntarily went to
the sheriff's office here and post-
ed a $1,000 bond set by Justice
of the Peace Charlie T. Davis.
Louisiana authorities had asked
* bond of $10,000.
Earlier in the week, Arcacha,
44, was charged with conspira-
cy to commit burglary at Hou-
ma. That warrant came from
New Orleans Dist. Atty. Jim
Garrison who claims the assas-
sin*. tion of President Kennedy
w£; plotted in his city.
f Arcacha has said he would
:$ht extradition on the conspira-
charge and there were indica-
ons he would do the same on
the burglary allegation.
i Arcacha, who has lived here
since 1963 and works with the
export division of an air condi-
tioning firm, said he knows of
"nothing pertinent" he could tell
New Orleans officials. He said
his activities while in New Or-
leans had absolutely nothing to
do with any plot to assassinate
the President.
In the New Orleans charge,
pavid Fcrriejmd Gordon Novel
were named along'with Arcacha
in the conspiracy to commit
burglary charge.
Ferrie died of natural causes
on Feb. 28. Garrison claims the
dead pilot figured into his Ken-
nedy assassination "plot.

las News.

ords of Clav L. Shaw, a retired
executive charged with conspir-
ing to murder President
Kennedy.

Army major in World War II.

to be produced in criminal dis-
trict court here April 24.
EXCEPT FOR the subpoena,
a matter of public record, Gar-
rison's controversial probe went
its secret way, trailed by rumor
and enriched by an odd side-
light involving the Louisiana
governor's office.
In Baton Rouge, Thomas Bur-
bank, superintendent of state po-
lice, said his department once
bought "anti-bugging" electronic
gear from Gordon Nove — a
man Dist. Atty. Garrison is try-
ing to pry out of Ohio for ques
tioning in the probe.
Burbank said the equipment
was purchased from a New Or-
leans firm headed by Novel aft-
er a 1965 report that the gover-
nor's office was being bugged
with hidden microphones.
"We never did find any equip-
ment in the office," said Bur-
bank. . ..
