In addition, extensive outside reading of articles, 8 publications, books, and government repor ys we reviewed prior to the interview of CARLOS MARCEL Bie 89. Nothing 9 in any Bureau report has provided any reasonable indication of MARCELLO’S involvement in the captioned assassination, or that -10 | he assisted OSWALD in the assassination. There have been numerous outside publications theorizing a connection between 11 | MARCELLO and the assassination, but none of these theories has » | been able to provide substantive proof of MARCELLO’S 12 involvement. MARCELLO was interviewed by Buagents on 9/6/89 at the FEDERAL MEDICAL CENTER (FMC), Rochester, Minnesota, 13 regarding his statements on 2/27/89 that he was "going to get 14 KENNEDY when he came to Dallas". As expected, MARCELLO denied making these statements, as well as denying any involvement in 15 | the assassination of President KENNEDY.

MARCELLO also denied knowing EDWARD BECKER, or making a statement to BECKER in 1962 about having President KENNEDY killed. It was the opinion of the: agents conducting the interview of MARCELLO that he was clear and lucid at the time of the interview, although he would, at times, ramble in a disoriented manner, apparently attempting to get the interview off track. Employees at the FMC confirmed MARCELLO would at times feign being disoriented for his own personal convenience, but that at other times, he would legitimately be disoriented. Based on this information, it would appear that MARCELLO was legitimately disoriented on 2/27/89, thus making the veracity of his statements suspect. Coincidental to the statements by MARCELLO on 2/27/89, the New Orleans Division advised by teletype ‘dated 3/15/89 that the former Chief of Police and current City Councilman of New Orleans, JOSEPH GIARRUSO, had received a phone call from an unidentified female caller with a British accent. The caller claimed to have worked part time for an attorney in New Orleans for a period of two days some time between 1966 and 1968. This caller refused to identify herself, but did provide a telephone number in England. The caller advised GIARRUSO that she remembered typing a letter for the lawyer and that in thé letter money was sent to the mother of LEE HARVEY OSWALD and that a statement was made in the letter concerning the KENNEDY assassination. By airtel dated 9/20/89 Legat, London, advised that DEBORAH MILLINGTON had been interviewed at Brighton, England, on 8/31/89, by representatives of NEW SCOTLAND YARD. MILLINGTON admitted to being the individual who had called GIARRUSO in March of 1989. MILLINGTON provided a description of the attorney for whom she had worked, as well as the general location of his office. MILLINGTON claims to have been interviewed as a potential witness in the trial of CLAY SHAW. The New Orleans Division, by airtel dated 10/3/89, advised they had no information regarding MILLINGTON’S status as a witness in the CLAY SHAW trial, nor did the information she had provided concerning the location of the attorney’s office coincide with the details provided in her interview (7 ) 2 im — CONFIDENTIAL | LA &9A-O -boI6y -/ /Docld:327176907 Page 3

Ar ‘DL 175A-109 CONFIDENTIAL. t should be noted that [the above allegations by () urLirneroy]again place the Bureau in the dilemma of being presented facts 25 years after the event that can neither be confirmed nor discounted. Dallas is of the opinion that no additional investigation in this matter is warranted, in view of the fact that this subsequent investigation was initiated based on statements made by MARCELLO while in a semi-coherent state and that these statements were subsequently denied by MARCELLO when interviewed. In addition, volume upon volume of investigation has previously been conducted by the Bureau, as well as various Congressional sub-committees, and none of these investigations has ever established a positive connection between MARCELLO and the assassination. Any further pursuit of this investigation will merely give appearance of self-doubt regarding the original and subsequent _investigations. Accordingly, UACB, Dallas is closing DL 89-43 (the original KENNEDY assassination), as well as the current investigation (DL 175A-109) relating to captioned matter. 3% CONFIDENTIAL DocIda: 32176907 Page 4 LA £94A-OL-@UESY
