Vi PH 92-44) RWH: dfb (1) The following information is included on the admin- istrative pages because PH 614-C-TE is involved in the matter in a manner which it is not possible to conceal. The information was obtained from him by SA JOSEPH A. VERICA, 3/17/62. At a time, which-source was unable to remember exactly but when the Maggio Cheese Company was in its old location at Ninth and Montrose Streets, informant was called there to see MARIO MAGGIO and ANGELO BRUNO. He was told that a cousin of MARIO's, named MONTALBANO, a druggist in the vicinity of 54th Street and City Line Avenue,. Philadelphia, had been arrested: by Captain CLARENCE J. FERGUSON, Philadelphia Police Department, on a narcotics.--charge and had been held for court by Magistrate BENJAMIN SEGAL, MARIO MAGGIO asked the source to make some kind - of contact with Captain FERGUSON and get the case "washed." Through @ cousin, NAT FRANK, who writes a column, "Prankly Speaking," in a local newspaper, "The Observer," and who has numerous political connections at City Hall, the © source met Captain FERGUSON at the Venice Grill on 12th Street ' and discussed the MONTALBANO case. FERGUSON was agreeable to an arrangement, but said he must have $7;500, $2,500 of which was to go to the attorney who would defend MONTALBANO, and FERGUSON said that would: have to be JOSEPH ALESSANDRONT. This was agreeable to MAGGIO, but the trial resulted in MONTALBANO being placed om probation. MAGGIO felt that FERGUSON had not lived up to his agreement, and it was finally agreed that he would accept $5,000 instead of the original $7,500. This money was obtained by the source from MARIO MAGGIO and delivered in a paper bag to FERGUSON at the Venice Grill shortly after the trial. FERGUSON took the bag © to the basement, where He presumably counted it, returned, and said everything was all right. ~ ~ E - COVER -PAGE Qe _. _€ HW 45737 Docld:32296446 Page 2?
