that neighbors had seen a red and white station wagon

leaving the scene. It is known that Mrs. BETTY WITHERS POON

has a red and white station wagon.

BETTY JOHNSON conjectured

that WITHERSPOON's boyfriend fired the shots because SHEA

had not paid back bond money loaned for the release of SHEA,

WITHERSPOON and FORD on the charges previously commented upon.

MM 814-C advised MAX EDER (Miami File 92-467)

still possesses some control and authority at the Fontaine

bleau Hotel, Miami Beach. He also advised that information

came to his attention that BEN NOVACK, the operator of the

hotel, was successful in having the mortgages on the Fon-

tainebleau Hotel refinanced by the Guarantee Life Insurance

Co. of New York City and is now out of the "red". He stated

NOVACK now wants to buy out his partners and has offered

them considerably more than what they paid to acquire their

interest. He said he understood NOVACK's partners are SAM

LANE, who owns the Hampshire House in New York City; ABE

ROSENBERG, owner of Star Liquors in New York City, and SONNY

ZEEMAN, also connected with Star Liquors.

MM 509-C advised he received information that the

bookmakers who intend to operate at the Gulfstream Race Track,

Broward County, Fla., are required to deal through EDWARD GOLD,

a bookmaker and gambler who is associated with the MICHAEL

COPPOLA (Miami File 92-101) group.
