14-00000 ST “a 12 June 1968 MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, LEOB/SRS - SUBJECT: NAGELL, Richard Case - #264170 REF: IN Cable 25955 dtd 6 June 1968 from| 2. OUT Cable 06625 dtd 7 June 1968 to Reference cables concern the claim of an individual appearing at the Consul General's office in Zurich, Switzerland on 4 June 1968 that he is one Richard Case NAGELL. NAGELL was sentenced to a 10 year term for bank robbery on 9 June 1964 and is supposedly in a federal prison in Missouri. GARRISON interviewed Subject as a witness in his investigation according to a news clipping from the CHICAGO AMERICAN dated 2 January 1968. The clipping is marked in Subject's file which is attached. This file also contains a copy of the summary dated 18 January 1968 pre¢pared in research on the GARRISON CASE. It would be of interest for documentation of Subject's file to ascertain from the FBI if Subject is still in préson. T did not receive reference IN Cable 25955 initially. Attached is a copy I obtained from OS Cable Desk. However, the original copy was routed to SRS and it is possible some one else on the Staff is already handling the matter. Att. as Stated 2 (BA
