ne Tet PG 92-228 PG 92-236 report, advised SA JOHN L. PUDDISTER as follows: He has been treating members of the MANNARINO organization for about seven years and would gladly furnish information concerning them and their activities. Dr. MC CLOWRY, who is of the Roman Catholic faith, has also been called upon many times to treat Priests and Nuns, with particular reference to Mt. St. Peter's. Roman Catholic Church, Freeport Road, New Kensington, Pa., thé parish to which the MANNARINOs belong. Father FUSCO is Pastor of the parish, and his chauffeur is JOHN STANISH, who is also a registered nurse. Both have been Dr. MC CLOWRY's patients at one time or another. During the period in late 1958 that a subpoena was outstanding for SAM MANNARINO's appearance before a Federal Grand Jury, Pittsburgh, he was being hidden, part of the time, by Father FUSCO on the third floor of the Apostulate House for Mt. St.. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, located at 204 Charles Street, New Kensington. Dr. MC CLOWRY has asked Father FUSCO on many occaSions not to assist the MANNARINOs, but Father FUSCO, a "pure blooded Sicilian,” has stated that the MANNARINOS are his "boys" and that the Federal Government is persecuting them for things which are quite legal in Italy. Father FUSCO attended the coronation of Pope John XXIII, along with his chauffeur, JOHN STANISH. STANISH has told Dr. MC GLOWRY that upon returning from Italy, Father FUSCO was met in New York City by ALBERT ANASTASIA's limousine and that they were rushed through customs without an examination of luggage. STANISH said they stayed a few days in ANASTASIA's home and then returned to New Kensington. Approximately two weeks later, ANASTASIA was shot to death in New York City. MC CLOWRY has said he will furnish medical records on a confidential basis: and will attempt to obtain a photograph of SAM MANNARINO. In view of the fact that certain information developed gives Some indication that SAMUEL MANNARINO could be involved in the cases captioned "STUART SUTOR, et al; TGP; ITSP; NM; FFA Buti 37 haehs} * and "BERNARD J. EZHAYA, et al; ITSP - MT Bufile 87-41245)" and may become a subject of one or both, considerable investigative time has been devoted to them. In addition, the first named case may be presented for trial in September, 1959, in U. S. District Court, Pittsburgh. This means that Top Hoodlum SAMUEL MANNARINO may be found to be implicated in two substantive matters within the A COVER PAGE Docld: 32296174 Page 3 ae nS ee a

Because there is still considerable investigation to conduct in both above-named cases and -pecause investigation in those cases in effect constitutes investigation of the MANNARINO organization, it is felt that the interest of the Bureau will best be served by concentra-. tion on those cases.
