BOYD, Notary Public. LOUIS HERSON, EXHIBIT No. 105 JANUARY 31, 1966. President, Walnut Manor, Inc., DEAR MR. HERSON: On December 21, 1965 we agreed to exchange your Apt 105 at 8747 Clifton Way, Beverly Hills for 1902A at the Barrington Plaza, with the understanding that an additional $50.00 cash per month would be paid to Don Karnes commencing February 1, 1966. In lieu of Apt 1902A, we are herewith permitting you to sub lease and collect rentals for a period of 1 year as follow: Apt B306, $150.00 per month, commencing March 1, 1966 and Apt B605, $172.50 per month, commencing February 1, 1966. In consideration of the above, the Clifton Way apartment shall be paid for by you until December 31, 1966, and Don Karnes is to receive 12 equal payments of $50.00 each, on or before February 28, 1967. GENTLEMEN: As per telephone conversation with Mr. Riker today, wish to advise that I leased apartment B712, 11728 Wilshire Blvd. from Mr. Louis Herson on a sublease basis at $150.00 per month until Feb. 28, 1967. Have paid my June rent directly to Mr. Herson, Churchill Apts., 10450 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles as I have done since leasing the apartment, and have been advised by Mr. Herson to continue paying said rent to him as per our lease arrangement until I am notified by him to do anything different, as my lease commitment for 12 months is directly with Mr. Herson, with the approval of the Barrington Plaza and signed by Mr. Riker. Hoping this clarifies your records, I am, 68-997-66-24 MARY JANE BENJAMIN. I freely and voluntarily make the following statement to Messrs. C. R. Dumont and J. L. Paradise, who have identified themselves to me as members of the staff of the Permanent Investigating Subcommittee of the U.S. Senate. No threat, force, or duress has been used to induce me to make this statement, nor have I received any promise. I understand that this statement may be used in open hearings before the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. My obligation for payment of February 1966 rent of $300.00 for my apartment A-2309 at the Barrington Plaza Apartments, 11740 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, was satisfied by my winning a bet made between myself and Mr. Donovan D. Karnes, former Barrington Plaza co-owner. During the first week of December 1965, Mr. Karnes and I bet $300.00 (one month's rent on my apartment) on the outcome of the New Year's Day Pasadena Rose Bowl game between UCLA and Michigan State. I bet on UCLA and won the $300.00. In payment thereof, Mr. Karnes credited my rent account. This credit satisfied my rent obligations for the month of February 1966. Therefore, I made no direct payment for February. I have read the foregoing affidavit of 2 pages, each of which I have initialed. To the best of my knowledge, all the information contained herein is true and correct. FELIX MENDELSON. Subscribed and sworn to before me, a notary public, this 5th day of July, 1966. DOROTHY R.
