SUBJECT :

ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT

JOHN F. KENNEDY;

PPSAKA

00: DALLAS.

During the past eleven months, Dallas

has conducted

an extensive review of the original assassination

investigation (DL 89-43) for information of additional lead

In addition, extensive outside reading of articles,

publications, books, and government reports were reviewed

prior to the interview of CARLOS MARCELLO on 9/6/89.

Nothing

in any Bureau report has provided any reasonable indication of

MARCELLO'S involvement in the captioned assassination, or that

he assisted OSWALD in the assassination. There have been

numerous outside publications theorizing a connection between

MARCELLO and the assassination, but none of these theories has

been able to provide substantive proof of MARCELLO'S

involvement. MARCELLO was interviewed by Buagents on 9/6/89

at the FEDERAL MEDICAL CENTER (FMC), Rochester, Minnesota,

regarding his statements on 2/27/89 that he was "going to gẹt

KENNEDY when he came to Dallas". As expected, MARCELLO denied

making these statements, as well as denying any involvement in

the assassination of President KENNEDY. MARCELLO denied

knowing OSWALD OI OSWALD'S uncle, DUTCH MURRET: MARCELLO also

denied knowing EDWARD BECKER, or

making a statement to BECKER

in 1962 about having President KENNEDY killed.

It was the opinion of the agents conducting the

interview of MARCELLO that he was clear and lucid at the time

of the interview, although he would, at times, ramble in a

disoriented manner, apparently attempting to get the interview

off track.

Employees at the FMC confirmed MARCELLO would at

times feign being disoriented for his own personal

convenience, but that at other times, he would legitimately be

disoriented.

Based on this information, it would appear that

MARCELLO was legitimately disoriented on 2/27/89, thus making

the veracity of his statements suspect.

Coincidental to the statements by MARCELLO on

• 2/27/89, the New Orleans Division advised by teletype dated

3/15/89

that the former Chief of Police and current City

Councilman of New Orleans, JOSEPH GIARRUSO, had received

phone call from an unidentified female caller with a British

The caller claimed to have worked part time for an

attorney in New Orleans for a period of two days some time

between 1966 and 1968.

This caller refused to identify

herself, but did provide a telephone number in England.

caller advised GIARRUSO that she remembered typing a letter

for the lawyer and that in the letter money was sent to the

mother of LEE HARVEY OSWALD and that a statement was made in

the letter concerning the KENNEDY assassination.

By airtel dated 9/20/89 Legat, London, advised that

DEBORAH MILLINGTON had been interviewed at Brighton, England,

on 8/31/89, by representatives of NEW SCOTLAND YARD.

MILLINGTON admitted to being the individual who had called

GIARRUSO in March of 1989.

MILLINGTON provided a description

of the attorney for whom she had worked, as well as the

general location of his office.

MILLINGTON claims to have

been interviewed as a potential witness in the trial of CLAY

SHAW. The New Orleans Division, by airtel dated 10/3/89,

advised they had no information regarding MILLINGTON'S status

as a witness in the CLAY SHAW trial, nor did the information

she had provided concerning the location of the attorney's

office coincide with the details provided in her interview.

CONFIDENTIAL

It should be noted that the above allegations byl

MILLINGION again place the Bureau in the dilemma of being

presented facts 25 years after the event that can neither be

confirmed nor discounted.

Dallas is of the opinion that no

additional investigation

in this matter is warranted, in view

of the fact that this subsequent investigation was initiated

based on statements made by MARCELLO while in a semi-coherent

state and that these statements were subsequently denied by

MARCELLO when interviewed.

In addition, volume upon volume of

investigation has previously been conducted by the Bureau, as

well as various Congressional sub-committees, and none of

these investigations has

ever established a positive

connection between MARCELLO and the assassination.

Any

further pursuit of this investigation will merely give

appearance of self-doubt regarding the original

and subsequent

investigations.

Accordingly, UACB, Dallas is closing DL 89-43

(the original KENNEDY assassination), as well as the current

investigation (DL 175A-109) relating to captioned matter.
