On 7/12/62, JOSEPH FRANCIS CIVELLO, subject of Dallas file 92-36 captioned "JOSEPH FRANCIS CIVELLO, aka. AR", was observed by Bureau Agents at the Egyptian Lounge, 5610 Mockingbird Lane, Dallas. CIVELLO is a known close associate of the owners of this establishment, JOE and SAM CAMPISI. CIVELLO was interviewed at this time by the Agents and appeared to be most cordial and cooperative. The recent robbery of SAM CAMPISI was discussed with CIVELLO, and CIVELLO was of the opinion that CAMPISI had been "set up" by someone close to CAMPISI as the bandits appeared to have thorough knowledge of CAMPISI's movements and habits. The Agents intimated to CIVELLO that they had. al knowledge of the person who had set up CAMPISI, as well as the identity of the bandits. CIVELLO appeared to be aston- ished and also appeared most desirous of asking the Agents for these identities, but it was noted he could not bring himself around to this. The interview was terminated, but it is believed that possible further contact with CIVELLO may be productive. On 6/19/62, GEORGE FUQUA, subject of Dallas file 92-61, was arrested in Kansas and subsequently interviewed by Bureau Agent in Kansas. He appeared to be cooperative and stated he would assist the Bureau in an attempt to locate Bureau Top Ten Fugitive JOHN GIBSON DILLON.
