It is noted furthér that rerep does not indicate that during interviews some. persons who may be suspects in this case were advised of their rights at the outset of the interview. Newark should imsure that in all interviews: conducted; in the future with possible suspects these individuals ave advised of their rights at the beginning of cach interview. \ i Qn the basis of information set out in rerep-and in the report of SA Bussel ff. Sullivan dated 6/7/63 at New York, it is suggested that the following lines of investigation, in\addition to the other investigation which is-now under way, be pursued to a proper conclusicn,. . ~ \ \ \ ‘ ‘ New York PCE John Strong advised that Tom Benny, "Bull" Keany and “Borky" Daley, friends ofThomzs J, Reynolds, afte strong-arm sen and carry guns. It appears that the only investigation which has been conducted is sa interview with Thomas Henny ‘set out on ; page 216 of rerep. Accerding to this individual, "Bezky"” Daley : died several years age. No information was developed nor was any investigation conducted concerning "Bull" Benny. It is suggested . that inquiries be made in an effort to verify the death of “Porky” Daley; that "Bull" Kenny be identified, lecated and interviewed; Mey that staterents be obteined from hin and Thomas Kenny as to their where- abouts during the pertinent peried and that investigation be conducted to verify or refute the alibis that they furnish. Efferts should be. made to determine further whether these individuals have been knowa to earry guns. If so, the guns should be located and considered as DoclId: 32301817 Page 3
AIRTEL TO NK, ny RE: UNSUBS, (2) ee - WALTER HERMAN GLOCKNER, AKA, = VICTIM (DECEASED) possible suspect weapons in connection with the shooting of Glockner,. Similar investigation should be conducted with respect to Richie Barrett and Tommy Clark, former employees of the Quinn Freight Lines who, according to sgoseph Mitchell Smith, are clesely associated with Reynolds. Smith also said that Barrett usually earries a pistol. Efforts alse should be made to verify Smith's statement that Nunzio Provenzano reportediy was seen ‘giving money to Barrett and Clark. If this can be substantiated the reason for Nunzie Provenzano baying these individuals should be determined. With respect to the gun involved in the murder of Glockner, it is noted that the laboratory report of the New Jersey State Bolice, set out on pages 306 and 307 of rerep, did not state the make of weapon used in the murder or the probable make of‘ this weapon. For the information of Newark and New York, the FBI Labora- tory has advised that frem descriptive data set out in the mentioned laboratory report it appears that the bullets would have been fired from a Colt revolver chambered for .38 caliber Smith and Wesson cartridges. This opinion ais based on the fact that the rifling characteristics are six lands and‘ grooves with a lefthand twist. The possibility also should net be overlooked that some Spanish made revolvers may have similar rifling: characteristics. Newark and New York should consider the feasibility of examining pistel permits issued by local authorities in an. effort to determine whether any permits were issued to officials or members of Local 560 or their associates for a .38 caliber €olt revolver. Ef so, consideration should be given to endeavoring to lecate the weapons in order. that test specimens may be fired from them. investigation should be made te determine whether Angelo Speraco, reported by NK2282-C as a strong-arm man for the union and as having visited the office ef Teamsters Local 810 in New York City twice during the week prier te 5/24/63 ° accompanied by Nunzio Provenzano and Sal Briguglico, was involved in the murder of Glockner. Sporaco'’s whereabouts during the pertinent period should be ascer- tained and necessary investigation conducted to verify or refute his alibi. DoclIda:32301817T Page 4
