CG 92-795 It would appear that HUMPHREYS referred to the /health of ALEX in view of the fact that information has '. previously been developed that during the past nine months «OY so ALEX has been extremely concerned with his health “and has been virtually "retired" from activities involving the Chicago Crime Syndicate as is set out elsewhere::in — the co¥er pages of this report under the caption "Travel", ~I[t..is noted that ALEX has spent very. Aittle time in Chicago during recent. months.” ; J : ! MORRAY HUMPHREYS Concerning the status of HUMPHREYS health, reference is made to the comment of HUMPHREYS reported immediately above concerning his remarks to GYANCANA that "the older { get the better I get". : CG 6343—-Cx advised on January 26, 1960, ‘MURRAY HUMPHREYS had a: ‘brief conversation with PAT MARCI, secretary - to Alderman JOHN D'ARCO, of the lst Ward, City of Chicago. MARCI asked HUMPHREYS how he felt and HUMPHREYS told him that he felt"pretty good. I have that: trouble at night. ‘Keeps me up half the night. They give me some medicine that works pretty good," en On January 28, 1960, "HUMPHREYS told: JOEY GLICO, - according to CG 6343-C*, that he “had a bad night last night". C, Marital Status MURRAY HUMPHREYS Ce . As has been set out above under the. caption "Residence" in reference to HUMPHREYS residence in Key Biscayne, Florida, information has been developed by the Miami Office indicating that HUMPHREYS is residing in Key Biscayne, in a house which. may value $70, 000. This house is owned ostensibly by one _ BETTY JEANNE: NEIBERT, who is believed to be the present wife | of MURRAY HUMPHREYS, although it is not known that HUMPHREYS had benefit of a civil or religious ceremony to bind their relationship. However, information has been developed through former PCI FRANCIS P, LEE that HUMPHREYS divorced his wife of 36 years in the summer of 1957 and: that shortly thereafter he ! -* COVER PAGE | DocId: 32306964 Page 5
& it ‘ CG 92-795 married a younger woman. [It would appear that the younger woman referred to by LEE is BETTY JEANNE NEIBERT, On March 3, 1960, SA ROBERT F, FETZNER of the -Miami Office observed a woman leave the residence of _. HUMPHREYS at 210 Harbor Drive in Key Biscayne, Florida, driving a 1959 Thunderbird. SA FETZNER observed that this woman was white, age, middle 30's, 5°6" in height, 135 pounds, blond hair. It is noted that this woman. exactly fits the discription of HUMPHREYS wife which was given by former PCI LEE and by HENRY VAN BDERKERKHONE, the managér of the apartment building where HUMPHREYS | ‘maintains an apartment in Chicago, with the exception that both LEE and’VAN RERKERKHONE advised that HUMPHREYS new wife was approximately 5'2" or 5°3" in height. — On March 4, 1960, ROBERT WALL, Director of : Personnel, Florida Light and Power Company, Miami, advised that his company as of that time was furnishing service to a Mrs. LEWIS HART at 210 Harbor Drive in Key Biscayne, - and has furnished said service since April 23, 1959. It is noted that VAN DERKERKHONE, above, advised that residing with HUMPHREYS and his wife in apartment. 1001 at.4200 North . Marine Drive in Chicago last spring was an individual who used the name HART, It is also noted that HUMPHREYS has previously used the first name of LEWIS, It would therefore, seem that it is very possible that "Mrs. LEWIS HART", BETTY JEANNE NEIBERT and HUMPHREYS wife are one and. the same person. II. CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES Information appearing under this caption is set. out herein in order to show the interests of ACCARDO, ALEX, FERRARO, GIANCANA and HUMPHREYS not only in criminal’ activities but in other activities of interest to the Chicago Crime . Syndicate. It is believed that this information will show that these five hoodlums have many interests which interlock and which thereby show the existence of the Chicago Crime Syndicate and the activities of these individuals in support of the Chicago" Crime” ‘Syndicate. — .

Crime. Syndicate which has been left vacant by ANTHONY J, ACCARDO, This PCI advised that ROBERT PRANNO, who was -placed in power as the front man for the Aurora - Kane County Amusement Company, would lose his pesition if DADDANO achieves eminence over GIANCANA, in view of the fact that | PRANNO was placed in this position by GIANCAMA, . Jt dis noted that information ebtained from CG. 6343-c* and other informants who are in a better position to have information congeerning the activities of GIANCANA have not indicated that there is any dispute between GIANCANA, DADDANO and ACCARDO, CO | | SOvER PAGE | _ - aR. a | DocId: 32306964 Page 7

CG 92-795 WFR: plft ee CG 6343-C* advised that on March 8, 1960, FRANK FERRARO went over the expenses which were incurred during the z month of February by his bodyguard and runner, HY GODFREY. During the course of the conversation, it became apparent that GODFREY was given a "thousand dollar bank roll" every month in order to meet the expenses incurred by him in running errands and making telephone calis for the Chicago top hocdlums. In tallying the bills submitted by GODFREY in | explanation for his expenses, FERRARO was heard to comment, — "St. Clair, cab, $85.00". oN po . - 0G 6343-C* advised on March 7, 1960, that on that date HY _ GODFREY asked FRANK FERRARO if he should meet him at "three : o'clock in the lobby?" and FERRARO replied "second floor". _ GODFREY apparently was used to meeting FERRARO in the lobby and in order to confirm FERRARO expected to meet him.in the usual place, he then asked "the St. Clair?” and FERRARO ~ replied "Better make it second floor". GODFREY then asked "What do you want to.do if he doesn’t show? Now if he's in there at 3-30 that means I gotta meet you and see you tonight".

They got a hospital ‘there and everything. They got am ambulance. there and everything". It is noted that D'ARCO's. ‘reference to SLIM isa - reference to GUS ALEX, who is known to his associates as SLIM. It is apparent’ ‘that D'ARCO is confused about the location of Sun Valley inasmuch as it is located in Idaho rather than. in Colorado. The fact that they have a hospital there would apparently refer to the fact that ALEX has been in very poor health in recent. months and possibly. utilized the services of a hospital in Sun Valley. ‘ On March 15, 1960, PCI ALANSON J.
