relating to $938,550.00 bond transaction and attempt to

evaluate it in the light of previous investigation in

this case.

MIAMI

AT MIAMI, FLORIDA

1. Will review the Miami file in an attempt to

evaluate the above-described letter from BRECHET to HICKMAN.

2. Will Interview BROWDER, who seems to be

somewhat more cooperative, to determine from him the

significance of this letter from BRECHET to HICKMAN

relating to $938,550.00 worth of bonds.

3. Will discuss the bail jumping case against

BROWDER with AUSA ROBERI H. NEWMAN to determine if he plans

on bringing BROWDER to trial on this case.

- INFORMANTS

PCI ROY KATON contacted SA JOHN P. LENIHAN on

April 30, 1962, and stated he recently had several contacts

with CARL BROWDER, adopted son of ED BROWDER and real son

of LILYAN BROWDER.

CARL related he intensely hates ED

BROWDER. CARL said ED BROWDER convinced him to leave with

him and to go to the West in the latter part of 1961, as

ED BROWDER told CARL he was going to get him registered at

a military school in Arizona. CARL told KATON that appar-

ently while BROWDER was on his trip West, he learned the

Supreme Court had turned down

his appeal on the Canadian

bond theft case and he apparently then decided to flee the

country and they went into Mexico. CARL told KATON that

BROWDER had prohibited the boy from calling his mother,

LILYAN BROWDER; however, one night when BROWDER had left the

motel where they were staying near Mexico City, CARL BROWDER

did phone LILYAN BROWDER.

When ED BROWDER returned to the

motel and CARI told him he had phoned LILYAN, ED became

get home to Miami.

KATON said that BROWDER's friend, RUDY, is actually

RUDY PICHARDO, that there is not any question in his mind

but that PICHARDO was probably paid by BROWDER to perjure

himself at the second BROWDER trial, though neither BROWDER

nor PICHARDO has ever admitted that

to him or anyone else

KATON knows of. KATON believes that PICHARDO lives in or

around Washington, D. C., and he would attempt to get

PICHARDO's address.

On May 14, 1962, PCI ROY KATON telephonically

contacted SA LENIHAN and stated that the rumor he heard

regarding BROWDER's connection with this stolen bond case

was that BROWDER had gotten the bonds from some Boston

mobsters who have some connection with Miami's wire service

operator, BILL CAUDELL. It appears that in some fashion,

BROWDER double crossed this Boston group. They allegedly

provided him with these stolen Canadian bonds and also some

money to make a trip to Switzerland, as BROWDER said he

could get a high price for the bonds in Switzerland.

Apparently, BROWDER was not able to sell the bonds in

Switzerland and the Boston mobsters feel that BROWDER has

double crossed them in some fashion.

The confidential source abroad mentioned in this

report is Legat, Mexico, airtel to Bureau dated 5/22/62.
