CHACONAS. WARD has indicated that CAIN staged this raid for the publicity which he received as a result thereof. This week, five of the members of the Special Investigations Unit of the Cook County Sheriff's Office have been requested to appear before the Cook County grand jury investigating these irregularities. Sgt. CHACONAS testified earlier in the week and CAIN testified yesterday. Newspapers today disclosed that while CAIN ‘was testifying, on 9/22/64, he requested that LOUIS GARRIPPO, the State's Attorney's Assistant who is presenting evidence to the grand jury, and a court reporter, be excluded from the room so that he could give the grand jury"secret information," It would appear that the "secret information" would involve the information provided above by CG 6498-CTE. Lt. JAMES DONNELLY, CAIN's Chief Liatenant in the Special Investigations Unit, and Sgt. WILLIAM MELVIN WITSMAN are also scheduled for testimony before the grand jury concerning their participation in the raid on the , Caravelle Motel. WARD has also requested that WILLIAM MORAN be’ called to testify before the grand jury. However, Sgt. MORAN is currently attending a police school in Wasting Ton, D.C. the state of Westingios, and Sheriff OGILVIE has, to this point, refused to call him back to Chicago to testify before the grand jury. Although the chronology of events, namely, the information received from the insurance company by this office that CAIN was attempting to arrange for a sale of the stolen drugs to the insurance company, and then the raid on the Caravelle Hotel led by CAIN, would tend to indicate the guilt of CAIN in this regard, the Chicago Office has developed no concrete information substantiating this, The Chicago Office likewise has developed no | information indicating that EGAN took any bribe in order ~3- Docld: 32327119 Page 3
