$200.00 a week.

RUSSO refused to pay that amount so

he discontinued the wire service and, since that time,

he nor anyone else in Vermilion Parish has been active

in wire service.

the FBI, but RUSSO claimed he did not want to contaet

the FBI.

operated by FRANCIS/ LEJUENE, and the Bonanza Lounge
