On the basis of infomation set out in serep and in the

it is

suggested that the

It is suggested

that staterents be obtained fron hin and Thomas lenny as to their where-,

possible suspect weapons in connection with the shooting of

Glockner.

Similar investigation should be conducted with respect to

Richie barrett and Tonny cars,

former employees of the Quinn Freight

bines who, according to Joseph

Mitchell smith, are closely associated

with Reynolds.

Smith also said

that Barrect usually carries a

pistol.

#rforts also should be made to verify snith's statement

that Nunzio Provenzano reportedly was seen giving noney to Barrett

and Clark. If this can be substantiated

the reason for vunzio

Provenzano paying these individuals should be determined.

With respect to the gun involved in the murder of Glockner,

it is noted that the laboratory report of the New Jersey State

Police, set out on pages 306 and 30% of rerep, did not state the

make of weapon used in the murder or the probable make of this

weapon.

for the iniormation of Newark and New York, the FBI Labora-

tory has advised that fron descriptive data set out

laboratory report it appears that the bullets would have been fired

From a colt revolver chambered for 38 caliber smith and Wesson

cartridges.

This opinion is based on the fact that the rifling

characteristics are six lands and grooves with a lefthand twist.

The possibility also should not be overlooked that some spanish made

revolvers may have similar rifling characteristics.

Newark and Now York should consider the feasibility of

examining pisto. permits issued by local authorities in an elfort

to determine whether any permits were issued to officials or members

of Local 560 or their associates for a 38 caliber Colt revolver.

If so, consideration should be given to endeavoring to locate the

weapons in order that test specimens may be fired

fron then.

Investigation should be made to determine whether Angelo

Sporaco, reported by NK2282-C as a strong-arm man for the union and

having visited the office of Teamsters Local 810 in New York City

twice during the week prior to 5/24/63'acconpanied by Nunzio

Provenzano and Sal Briguglio, was involved in the murder of Glockner.

Sporaco's whereabouts during the pertinent period should be ascer-

tained and necessary investigation conducted to verify or refutehis

alibi.

NK 2150-C speculated that WAITER GLOCKNER was not

scheduled to be killed but that on the morning that he was

shot, he possibly was to be picked up in order that some deal

be made with him regarding his alleged comment that he would

testify for the government against TONY PROVENZANO in the

extortion case.

On May 24, 1963 the unknown persons reportealy

scheduled to contact GLOCKNER made some remark and GLOCKNER

refused to go with them. In a "hot-headed exchange", GLOCKTER

was shot.

is generally from the 513 Club, 513 First Street, Hoboken, New

Jersey•

CLARK reportedly lives over Dee's Luncheonette and

is described as a white male, approzimately 29 years of age,

584" - 5", tall, with black curley hair.

PCI indicaced that CLARK became delinquent in his

payments to GLOCKNER and GWINNETT at which time they

went

looking for CLARK to work him over. PCI stated that to the

best of her recollection,

this was

approximately three months

ago.

GWINNETT and GLOCKNER did locate CLARK at the Musical

Bar in Union City, New Jersey; however, they learned that

CLARK was carrying a pistol so they did

not cause any harm

to CLARK.

PCI states that allegedly CLARK then left New Jersey

and went to Connecticut out of fear of GLOCKNER and

GWINNETT. In the meantime, arrangements were made by POl

to make weekly payments owed by CLARK to GLOCKNER.

PCI states that CLARK is believed to still carry a

pistol on occasions and has indicated a hatred towards

GLOCKNER.

PCI

further indicated that CLARK is sometimes known

as SONNY

CLARK and the luncheonette of which he is manager is

located near the intersections of Jackson Avenue and Observer

Highway in Hoboken.
