"Hegeman s

a potential criminal informant of the

Miami. Division, has advised that he heard Carlos Marcello

through his political connections intends to approach the

Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) representative who

will preside at the INS deportation hearing July 10, 1961, at

New Orleans, Louisiana. They intend to offer him a substantial

sum of money if he will delay Marcello's deportation from this

country.

This

source could not furnish further details concerning

the method to be used by Marcello in handling this matter.

Hegeman advised Marcello believes that if he can delay his

deportation long enough, his political connections and associates:

in the State of Louisiana, which allegedly include Governor James

Davis and Senator Russell B. Long, U.S. Senator (both Democrats)

may be able to have some influence in choosing the successor of.

General Swing, Commissioner, INS, who is expected to retire in the

near future.

He feels a new Commissioner would be more sympathetic

toward him than General Swing has been in the past and he may be

successful in having the Government charges dropped against him,

thus avoiding deportation from this country..

Hegeman's source for this information is William F

Abraham, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, contractor: Our New Orleans Office

advises Abraham Is possibly identical with

the former manager of

the Rendezvous Night Club, Alexandria, Louisiana, where gambling

was known to have taken place.

Between September, 1946, and October

1948, he was arrested sevén times for violation of "Sunday" laws and

gambling."
