LENIHAN on _ April 30, 1962, and stated he recently had several contacts with CARL BROWDER, adopted son of ED BROWDER and real son of LILYAN BROWDER. CARL related he intensely hates ED BROWDER. CARL said ED BROWDER convinced him to leave with him and to go to the West in the latter part of 1961, as ED BROWDER told CARL he was going to get him registered at a military school in Arizona. CARL told KATON that appar- ently while BROWDER was on his trip West, he learned the Supreme Court had turned down his appeal on the Canadian bond theft case and he apparently then decided to flee the country and they went into Mexico.

When ED BROWDER returned to the motel and CARL told him he had phoned LILYAN, ED became infuriated and under the pretense that he, ED, was going to a movie, he disappeared and left CARL. stranded at the “motel, “faced with a large motel bill and with no funds to get home to Miami. ‘KATON said that BROWDER's friend, RUDY, is actually RUDY PICHARDO, that there is not any question in his mind but that PICHARDO was probably paid by BROWDER to perjure himself at the second BROWDER trial, though neither BROWDER nor PICHARDO has ever admitted that to him or anyone else KATON knows of. KATON believes that PICHARDO lives in or around Washington, D. C., and he would attempt to get PICHARDO's address. On May 14, 1962, PCL ROY KATON telephonically -  eontacted SA LENIHAN and stated that the rumor he heard LN regarding BROWDER's connection with this stolen bond case was that BROWDER had gotten the bonds from some Boston mobsters who have some connection with Miami's wire service ‘operator, BILL CAUDELL. It appears that in some fashion, - BROWDER double crossed this Boston group. They allegedly provided him with these stolen Canadian bonds and also some money to make a trip to Switzerland, as BROWDER said he could get a high price for the bonds in Switzerland. Apparently, BROWDER was not able to sell the bonds in Switzerland and the Boston mobsters feel. that..BROWDER has double crossed them in some fashion.
