Informant. stated it is not..a coincidence that IRV WEINER and ALAN DORFMAN selected attorneys. who are better known for their political clout than for their sharpness in the courtroon.. Informant stated he did not. believe JERRIS: LEONARD ever tried a criminal case in court and he represents ALAN DORFMAN. Informant. stated JENNER is an old-time friend of his and semi-retired.

Informant stated from a reliable source he has already heard THOMPSON has had discussions with JENNER and other important party leaders concerning his future with the Republican Party. Informant stated that he is sure THOMPSON wants to run for Governor or Senate.

Apparently prior to that time that the New Mexico loans were approved, WEINER was having trouble with DORFMAN. In an effort to keep DORFMAN back in line DORFMAN walked out to his Car one day and several shots were fired at him. The shots were fired by PHIL ALDERISIO and were only meant to scare DORFMAN. However, WEINER went a little too far and DORFMAN himself went to ''the people" and had them get WEINER and ALDERISIO off his back. R According to his information received from people close to WEINER and DORFMAN, when the New Mexico loan was split up by WEINER, DE ANGELES and others, DORFMAN was cut out. WEINER at this time was reported to have told DORFMAN "now we are even". What WEINER meant by this, according to DORFMAN, was that DORFMAN's life had been saved by WEINER at the time the shots were fired as PHIL ALDERISIO at that time wanted to kill DORFMAN. Informant stated recently he was at O'Hare Field and while having a drink at a bar, observed IRV WEINER drinking with DON PETERS, a business agent of the Teamsters Union. He stated that he had heard other things about PETERS, and if there was any close association between PETERS and WEINER this would indicate any deals sponsored by PETERS should be watched closely. Informant also added at this time that very little has been said about the influence ROSE DORFMAN has over the insurance company owned by ALAN. Mrs. DORFMAN, ALAN's mother, owns half mo interest in the insurance company and informant stated that at the time the New Mexico loans were being contem- plated papers were drawn up to be presented to the Teamster . Union officials and their attorneys. One of the attorneys for the teamster consulted at that time was NATE WOLFBERG, who has his office on La Salle Street in Chicago. WOLFBERG was believed to possess good background information on this loan and might be a good person to contact if not already interviewed. Informant also stated that HAROLD LURIE used to come to his office on a regular basis and maintain his innocence as far as being implicated in the Teamster Union loans. Informant stated from LURIE's conversations it was apparent that LURIE was cooperating closely with Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Recently IRS moved in on LURIE and - D COVER PAGE WRIAVCAD ed DoclId:32329690 Page 4

They also reportedly took over any other assets they could find including LURIE's home. Informant stated it was his opinion this was done by IRS to protect LURIE because in his opinion LURIE is so much involved in the teamster case that he either should have been indicted or will be treated by the Government as a Government witness. LURIE by his own admissions, has admitted to informant that for. sometime he has worked closely with the IRS. - CG 9561-PC advised on April 2, 1974, that he recently ran into IRV WEINER at a Rush Street restaurant. WEINER came over to his table and stayed for a few minutes discussing vérious family affairs familiar to both. Informant stated he looked over at the table where WEINER had been sitting and saw Captain BILL HANHARDT of the Chicago Police Department (CGPD}. Informant stated that it is a well known fact known to many people that WEINER — and HANHARDT have been close friends for years. After a short time, HANHARDT came over to his table and appeared very friendly and then asked informant, "Is your door open.to me?" Informant replied, "My door swings both ways,'' meaning HANHARDT could come and go anytime he wanted. Informant stated from a few other remarks made by .HANHARDT, he expected a visit from him in the near future. 7 Concerning the Teamster case involving WEINER, ALLAN DORFMAN, ET AL, he now understands there is some | fighting going on between the defendants. For one thing, DORFMAN has been having trouble with his ex-departmental attorney, JERRIS LEONARD. What the trouble is, informant stated, he has not been able to determine other than the fact that DORFMAN is of the opinion he should be dismissed from this case because he did not realize any money from the transactions that were made. Informant stated he would not be surprised if this was not true. Informant said you have . to remember that DORFMAN had become a tool of the Crime Syndicate. He was under the direct control of the Chicago "Outfit", who placed IRV WEINER in close contact with DORFMAN and for several years, DORFMAN could not make a * a) COVER PAGE So SA 90s ww Doclda: 32329690 Page 5

CG 9561-PC advised on April 16, 1974, that he had just returned from Las Vegas, Nevada, and even in Las Vegas "they" were looking for HAROLD LURIE. Informant stated wherever LURIE now is hiding he better "stay put". There are at least 20 Mafia characters looking for him and there is a special bonus for anyone that can fine LURIE and kill him. Informant stated that IRWIN WEINER may be considered expendable by the "Outfit" but certain others involved in this Teamster Union case have been a lucrative source of income for the "Chicago Outfit", and for this reason knowing the importance of LURIE as a a.Government witness they will not overlook any possi- - bility to find him. Informant said when you hear his name mentioned as far away as Las Vegas and the fact that they are looking for him in Las Vegas, you can be certain it is an all out effort to eliminate LURIE before the trial. Informant stated he himself has known HAROLD LURIE for a number of years and it was his suggestion that LURIE not be informed of the hunt now in effect to locate him. He says LURIE scares easily and is such a shifty | person that even the Government should not be convinced that LURIE will tell the truth and testify as expected when he takes the stand. - On April 19, 1974, he further advised that the Teamster Union now has invested $164 million in Dunes Casino. He said apparently the Dunes is not a loser. Also he heard that the Riviera was being sold and the new buyers were not Mafia connected. , i Concerning the Circus-Circus, informant stated he learned that JAY SARNO is now just about out of this Circus-Circus Casino. Things got so bad that the teamsters themselves wanted him out before they again stick more money into this casino. Informant stated JAY SARNO now is in serious trouble with the Government and several Government agencies besides IRS are now building cases against him.

The word circulating now among some of the underworld characters in Las Vegas is ‘that SARNO might be in so much trouble he may consider cooperating with the Government. Informant stated the way things are handled now in Las Vegas, if the Mafia characters have any doubts along this line he would not want to be JAY SARNO. The way they are working now if the Outfit regards him as a risk he is going to wind up missing and get buried along with other missing characters Somewhere in the sands of Nevada. Informant stated that it probably is not known that two individuals in Las Vegas exert a good deal of power particualrly with Las Vegas, Nevada, authorities. Both are interested in preserving "quiet" State of Nevada and are doing everything in their realm to stop the recent outbreaks of violence. Informant referred to two men who owned a good deal of property in Las Vegas and also on the Valley Bank of Nevada. These individuals were named as E. PERRY THOMAS and JEROME D. MACK. It was these two individuals recently who were able to bail out the Riviera Casino and arranged for the purchase of the Riviera by fairly legitimate sources. " CG 9561-PC advised on May 23, “1974, that he héard that IRWIN WEINER has. made every attempt to reach out and contact someone that can help them in the pending matter. Informant stated WEINER apparently contacted Judge BAUERS' brother who is a practicing attorney in Wheaton, Illinois. Informant stated this attorney he heard is not particular how he makes his money. Informant stated the word came back to WEINER after contact with . BAUERS' brother that no way would U.S. District Court Judge BAUER be influenced in this matter. WEINER apparently told the other defendants that it.now looks bad and that they are going to attempt to get a new judge in their case and have their attorneys file a motion in this regard.
