Informant further stated that all the gamblers in the area knew that it was FBI pressure which was responsible for the arrests. The operators felt they were going to be raided and accordingly, pulled out their roulette wheels and blackjack table. They also called in the local Sheriff and told him their feelings. The Sheriff reportedly assured them that the States Attorney was on their side and that he thought the Deputy Sheriff, whom they had attempted to pay off, would take no action for a few days. In view of this and the amount they _had invested, they decided to go ahead and hold a crap game anyway. Developments as set out in enclosed letterhead memorandum, indi- cate alleged plans, if actual, were frustrated. This and other similar corroborative information obtained directly from sub jects by top level confidential informarts of the Norfolk and Washing- . ton Field Offices, was not included in the memorandum to avoid compromising the informants.
