No threats, promises, force, or inducements of any kind have been used to get me to furnish this statement."I was born on August 5, 1930 at Greenwich, New York.""The following statement is relative to the motive which actuated my conduct on September 20, 1963.""In September 1962, while I was in Mexico City a representative of a foreign government proposed to me that I participate in an act; Such act being a criminal offense and inimical to the best interests of the United States. At that time I refused such proposal. In May, 1963, another representative of the same foreign government made the same proposal to me. At that time I agreed to such a proposal.""In Sept. 1963, I was informed by an American, known to me as an agent of the same foreign government, that arrangements for my participation in the aforementioned act were completed, At this time I refused the aforesaid proposal.""Approximately one week later I was instructed by this same person to either participate as previously agreed or derrogatory information pertaining to me would be disclosed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Thereupon I agreed to follow the instructions of this person, although I did not intend to do so. This existing situation actuated my conduct of September 20, 1963, for which I was arrested and am presently charged.""I did not actually attempt to rob any bank. I thought that my arrest would provide an immediate, though temporary solution to the problem with which I was confronted.""I am not guilty as charged"45.

The subject advised the court that he would not cooperate with the psychiatrists at the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners at Springfield.While being removed from the United States District Court House in El Paso, Texas, enroute to the El Paso County Jail on January 24, 1964, and while in the custody of the Deputy United States Marshals, the subject accused the Assistant United States Attorney of violating his constitutional rights. This accusation was a repetition of numerous accusations which the subject bad previously made against the Assistant United States Attorney, according to Assistant I. S. Attorney MORTONOn January 24, 1964, Assistant United States Attorney FREDERICK J. MORTON, El Paso, advised that he had received information on a confidential basis a short while before to the effect that there was a man incarcerated in the El Paso County Jail under a Federal charge of attempted bank robbery by the name of RICHARD CASE NAGELL who was a Communist and who was about to defect to Russia when arrested Mr. MORTON related that the story was generally that NAGELL, a retired Army Captain who served with distinction in the Korean War in combat and with CIC, became embittered with the United States and our form of government partially due to the alleged denial of visitation privileges of his children, custody over whom was awarded to his Japanese wife by California divorce decree. He allegedly turned over secret material to Soviet agents while in the Military Service. He was supposed to obtain / a passport to Russia here in El Paso from a Communist agent but was so distraught over the possibility of never again seeing his children that he considered suicide or some other drastic means of preventing his defecting that he went in a bank in El Paso, asked for $100.00 in cashier's cheques, pulled a gun which caused the teller to run, and fired two shots high into the wall and fled. At the time of his arrest, he called the policeman a "capitalistic s.o.b." and has stated that what he did was done out of "love for Country." Other than that he has made no statements concerning the bank robbery except to say that he did not47.

EP. 65-951intend to take any money. He has refused to talk to a psychiatrist and fired two court appointed attorneys. His court room appearances have convinced all that he is intelligent and competent mentally but extremely confused and disturbed. He files motions and writs almost daily, which are well written and lawyer Like.At the time of his arrest, September 20, 1963, a notebook was taken from him containing what purport to be various codes, CIA and FBI agents' names, Soviet and other Communist embassy addresses and names, and the addresses of various other people and organizations, including the Los Angeles address of the "Fair Play for Cuba Committee." NAGELL has supposedly recently received a 1963 Information Please almanac with a scrambled message. Mention is made of this in the notebook.NAGELL is supposed to have located at the address of his sister, Mrs. ELEANORE GAMBERT, 82-25 Grand Avenue, Elmhurst 73, Long Island, New York, HA 6-6830, a trunk in which a Japanese gas mask is contained. In the salve box of this mask are supposedly 4 rolls of microfilm containing the names of various Communist Party members, agents, couriers, their activities, etc. A man by the name of FRED JOHN (BENJO) an insurance agent in California, is supposed to get these things from NAGELL's sister in the event of NAGELL's death. The sister supposedly knows nothing of the contents and is not a Communist. NAGELL recently wrote a letter to this Mr. JOHN in California mentioning the almanac bit. Mr. MORTON said he rejected an offer of a deal for information purportedly furnished by NAGELL to the FBI regarding Communists in exchange for favorable consideration made through NAGELL'S prior court appointed attorney on the basis that the information was of no value. Mr. MORTON's confidential source told him that NAGELL's prior contacts with the FBI were not revealing because they were made by him solely to determine what the FBI knew of him.

# CIA HISTORICAL REVIEW PROGRAMRELEASE IN FULL 1998MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD:24 March 1964SUBJECT: SLOSS, John Richard#344901. Subject, a GS-14 in COI, has been with the Agency and predecessor organizations since 1949. He was recently investigated under procedures of the Reinvestigation Program, and he was granted a Q clearance as of 21 October 1963.2. On 19 March 1964, Mrs. Virginia Thomas, 00/C advised that one Richard Case Bagell (OS-HE) had been picked up in the El Paso, Texas area for bank robbery. As Bagell had in his possession a list of air names, with "CIA" written after them, the Bureau inquired as to whether Bagell might possibly be an Agency employee. Two of the individuals named were 00/C Los Angeles employees who never heard of Bagell. The other names were those of F. Farber (EPII), Mrs. Guthrie (HR), C. Churchill (OS-MR) and J. Slone.3. On 19 March I telephonically contacted Subject and inquired as to whether he had ever heard of Bagell. He replied in the negative. When I further explained the entire situation, Subject still held with the view that he has absolutely no recollection of Bagell, although it was a curious coincidence that he had been in the El Paso area in January of this year, at which time he and his mother spent three days with an old girlhood friend of Subject's mother.4. This memorandum is for the purpose of making my brief discussion with Subject a matter of record. It is not necessarily derogatory to him.Leo J. DamaSpecial Assistant/PSDreih
