He advised that FRANK simply told him that he "would have to watch TV a few nights" and did not explain his comments further. Informant advised that FRANK left him with the impression that the game will be going again in the future; however, that for some reason it would remain down for a period of time. CG 6443-C advised SA MEINCKE on July 5, 1963, that on July 3, 1963, KRUSE had asked the informant to see one HARRY LEVINSON, who owns and operates a pawn Shop on Clark Street and Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. LEVINSON has a home at 4200 Marine Drive, Chicago, next to the Imperial Towers. KRUSE suggested that the informant try to interest HARRY LEVINSON in an even swap of property at 4200 Marine Drive, for KRUSE's Lake Worth, Florida home. Informant advised that ROCCO POTENZA, on July 3, 1963, in the late afternoon, visited the H and H Restaurant, where KRUSE also hangs out, and asked MAISHE BAER to hold his bankrotl, consisting of $48,000. POTENZA asked BAER to hold it until he came back, stating he was going to a lawyer's office in the Metropolitan Building, at 134 North La Salle Street, Chicago, and did not want to carry the money with hin. CG 6443-C advised SA MEINCKE on July 18, 1963, that he recently saw KRUSE in conversation with PETER EPSTEEN and a lawyer by the name HENNESSEY, formerly a city attorney for Skokie, Illinois, and a personal friend of KRUSE, in conversa- tion at the Hyatt House on Lincoln Avenue, in Skokie. From portions of the conversation that he could hear, the informant learned that apparently KRUSE is interested in something in Jamaica, and may fly there on a vacation trip with his wife in the near future, -G- COVER PAGE HW 45959 DocId:32329608 Page 5 ‘, v)
CG 92-1037 They mentioned that one WALTER LENRROT (phonetic), a friend of MEYER LANSKY of Miami, is presently in Jamaica, conducting some sort of financial investigation. It was mentioned during the conversation that the government owns the gambling interests in Jamaica, and there was an indica- tion that KRUSE was extremely interested in this arrangement, With reference to HENNESSEY, the informant advised that: KRUSE leans on him for legal advice, and he visits KRUSE at his home frequently, particularly on Sunday mornings. Subsequently, KRUSE advised that. he is going to take a trip of several weeks duration with his wife, and. has instructed the informant to purchase some luggage for him. The informant stated it is unusual for KRUSE and his wife to visit their son two weeks in a row, and the current visit is probably due to the fact that KRUSE and his wife are planning a trip of several weeks duration; therefore, the informant places credence in KRUSE's conversa- tion. Informant also advised at this time that he had seen HARRY LEVINSON, as requested by KRUSE, regarding the Swap of property. LEVINSON's attitude was that he would not even consider such a swap, and this deal will never materialize, CG 6443-C advised SA MEINCKE on August 16, 1963, that he had a meeting scheduled with KRUSE for 4:15 P.M. on this date; however, KRUSE did not show up. Informant said he waited in MAISHE BAER's H and H Restaurant until later that evening when KRUSE's son appeared and stated that his father had been called out hurriedly on a quick business trip. Destination was not mentioned; however, the informant felt that KRUSE must have flown to the Dominican Republic, as he had indicated previously, that this trip was coming up. He advised that KRUSE, according to previous state- ments, would haveto be back by August 20, 1963, as he planned to drive to Culver Military School to bring his youngest son back to school. -H-- COVER PAGE HW 45959 DocId:32329608 Page 6
