BROYLES, Division V at the -~ 2 Bureau. SA BROYLES, Division V at the Bureau was telie- phonically contacted in response to the specific questions he had requested answers to in referenced memo, Mr. BROYLES was advised that this office had no information concerning cee MIGUEL TORRES who, according to newspaper pubiicity, had been = transferred from Angola Penitentiary where he was serving a nine year burglary sentence to the Orleans Parish Prison at the request of District Attorney GARRISON other than informa- tion appearing in the newspapers. Mr. BROYLES was advised that the files of this office showed that a MIGUEL TORRES was reported to this office as being a notorious burglar in the New Orleans area but that the office did not know whether | he was identical with the individual returned to New Orleans by District Attorney GARRISON, BROYLES was further. advised that this office did not have any information as to the names of persons GARRISON's investigation has indicated are involved in.the conspiracy to kill President KENNEDY. BROYLES was further advised that this office did not have any informa- tion as to the identity of the dangerous, physically powerful Cuban believed to be one of a group of Cubans who allegedly hid behind a billboard along the parnde route in Dallas, Texas, 11/22/63, and who the investigators of the DA's Office were apparently endeavoring to locate in Miami, Fla. recently. It was pointed out to Mr. BROYLES that a newspaper account stated that State Attorney RICHARD GERSTEIN in Miami, Fla. was the only individual who apparently was taken into GARRISON's confidence in regard to the efforts of investigators to locate this unknown Cuban in Miami. It was suggested to Mr. BROYLES that possibly the Miami Office might have received inquiries as to the identity of this individual and might possibly be able to furnish some information as to his identity.
