and although he considers him capable of such an act, he does

not believe FLANERY would become involved in any hijacking

inasmuch as FLANERY has "too much to lose" in connection with

the building

and construction business.

Informant recalled

that FLANERY's name had also been mentioned in connection with

the hijacking of the Pennsylvania Club in 1963 when it was being

operated by GEORGE BARNES.

Informant said BARNES had talked

to FLANERY at that time and had eliminated him as a suspect.

Informant stated that he too has been accused of

having a part in the attempted hijacking of the Canadian

possibly because he is a former employee and

Country Club somewhat at odds" with FLETCHER HANDLEY, OWnEr

is presently

of the Canadian Country Club.

Informant talked to GEORGE

BARNES and JUNK JOHNSTON the previous week and is certain he

convinced them that he had no part in the attempted hijacking.

(BARNES and JOHNSON operate the gambling room at the Canadian

Country Club.)

Informant said that BARNES uses R. DA MATHEWS, a

Dallas, Texas, hoodlum, as a strong-arm man but that to

informant's knowledge,

MATHEW has not been in Oklahoma City

recently.

Informant said that FLETCHER HANDLEY USES REI

HOLT and GEORGE POULOS as strong-arm

men.

(HOLT is an

Oklahoma

City hoodlum and POULOS. is a hoodlum in Wichita,

Kansas.)

On 3/15/64, OC 374-C advised SA HAROLD E. DUNCAN

that FLETCHER HANDLEY continues to operate the Canadian

Kla-Country flub and is assisted in that business by his brother

CHARLESXHANDLEY.

CI. stated he had heard that GEORGE BARNES

okla.

is now employed at the club as a dealer and that customers

of the club continue to be local people from the vicinity

of Oklahoma City.
