By radiogram, 11/19/63, Pittsburgh advised the Bureau that on 11/18/63 PCI ANTHONY JOHN WISE, JR., advised SA THOMAS G. FORSYTH, III, as follows: On that date at about 4:30 P. M., SAM MANNARINO stated "they" intended to try to get to Mrs. BROWN, wife of Allegheny County Judge HOMER S. BROWN, who had been selected to the jury in’U. S. District Court, Pittsburgh, that day. MANNARINO said the BROWNs had a daughter who was going with the son of PAUL LONG, Pittsburgh Radio and Television News Commentator, and the approach would be made through PAUL LONG. When asked how he knew LONG would go for the deal, MANNARINO laughingly said he was positive LONG would go for it. <= It is noted that Judge BROWN and his wife, Mrs. WILHELMINA B. BROWN, are of the Negro race, and the PAUL LONG family is Caucasian. The above information was furnished to U. S. Attorney GUSTAVE DIAMOND, Pittsburgh, who was scheduled to commence presentation of the Government case against subjects on November 19, 1963, on charges of income tax evasion, USA DIAMOND requested that no active investigation be made to prove or disprove the above allegation at that time for B COVER PAGE Docld: 32304393 Page 5

On 11/21/63, PCI WISE advised SA FORSYTH as follows: On 11/20/63, SAM MANNARINO stated that the "contact" had been made with "Judge BROWN's wife." MANNARINO did not indicate that the results of the contact had been successful from his point of view and, in fact, appeared to be deeply .worried about the outcome of the trial. MANNARINO changed one part of his story in that he now referred to Judge BROWN's son going with the daughter of PAUL LONG, rather than BROWN's daughter going with LONG's son, as had been previously stated. The above information was furnished to USA GUSTAVE DIAMOND, Pittsburgh, on 11/21/63. No further information regarding the above allegations was furnished by PCI or any other source.
