ADMINISTRATIVE

As the Bureau was advised by reairtel, this

report has been delayed in order to obtain the results of

the trial in U. S. District Court, Pittsburgh, of subject,

his brother, and their associates

on charges

of income tax

fraud and evasion, plus conspiracy.

During the period of this report, liaison has

been closely maintained with Intelligence Division, Internal

Revenue Service, Pittsburgh, which has an investigation

underway regarding this subject.

By radiogram, 11/19/63, Pittsburgh advised the

Bureau that on 11/18/63 PCI ANTHONY JOHN WISE, JR.,

advised SA THOMAS G. FORSYTH, III, as follows:

On that date at about 4:30 P.M., SAM MANNARINO

stated "they" intended to try to get to Mrs. BROWN, wife

of Allegheny County Judge HOMER S. BROWN, who had been

selected to the jury in U.S. District Court, Pittsburgh,

that day. MANNARINO said

the BROWNs had a daughter who

was going with the son of PAUL LONG, Pittsburgh Radio and

Television News Commentator, and the approach would be

made through PAUL LONG.

When asked how he knew LONG would

go for the deal, MANNARINO laughingly said he was positive

LONG would go for it. ?

It is noted that Judge BROWN and his wife,

Mrs. WILHELMINA B. BROWN, are of the Negro race, and the

PAUL LONG family is Caucasian.

The above information was furnished to U.S.

Attorney GUSTAVE DIAMOND, Pittsburgh, who was scheduled to

commence presentation of the Government case against subjects

on November 19, 1963,

on charges of income tax evasion.

USA DIAMOND requested

that no active investigation be made

to prove or disprove the above allegation at that time for

fear of jeopardizing the

case, but he suggested that contact

be maintained with the Pittsburgh Office source (PCI WISE)

in an effort to ascertain whether or not attempts to contact

Mrs. BROWN had been made and if they had been successful.

On 11/21/63, PCI WISE advised SA FORSYTH as follows:

On 11/20/63, SAM MANNARINO stated that the "contact"

had been made with "Judge BROWN's wife."

MANNARINO did not

indicate that the results of the contact had been successful

from his point of view and, in fact, appeared to be deeply

worried about the outcome of the trial.

MANNARINO changed

part of his story in that he now referred to Judge

BROWN's son going with the daughter of PAUL LONG, rather

than BROWN's daughter going with LONG's son, as had been

previously stated.

The above information was furnished to USA GUSTAVE

DIAMOND, Pittsburgh, on 11/21/63.

No further

information regarding the above

allegations was furnished by PCI or any other source.
