King plot,

local motel

A hideaway motel in Apalachin reportedly was

the scene of a 1968 meeting where FBI and CIA

agents offered former gangland kingpin Carlo

Gambino $1 million to kill Martin Luther King

Jr., Scripps-Howard Newspapers said yesterday.

The allegation was made by an inmate at the

Ohio Penitentiary Reception and Treatment Cen-

ter in Columbus. Gambino reportedly rejected

the offer.

The report said the inmate, Myron Billet, set

up a secret meeting in January 1968, at a motel in

Apalachin between the FBI and CIA agents and

Gambino, who has since died.

The name and location of the motel could not

be determined last night and it was not known if

the motel is still in business.

Apalachin was the scene of a 1957 state police

raid of a convention by organized crime bosses,

hosted by the late Joseph Barbara Sr.

Scripps-Howard Newspapers, in a copyrighted

story by William Pillar, said Billett, 52, alias

Paul Buccilli, will be questioned by Ed Evans,

chief investigator for the House Select Commit-

tee on Assassinations in Washington.

Gambino rejected the offer and later passed

the word that no gangland family would accept

the offer to kill King, Billett said.

Rép. Louis Stokes, D-Ohio, chairman of the

assassinations committee, said he ordered Evans

to investigate the allegations after Scripps-

Howard asked Stokes if a letter sent by Billett to

House Speaker Thomas O'Neill had been turned

over to the committee.

O'Neill's office told the newspapers that the

letter had not been located.

'We will be in touch with Billett to check out

his story." Evans said.

Apalachin talks of motels

By DAVID POPPICK

* APALACHIN - Some residents and motel

managers in Apalachin were puzzled yesterday

by reports that a motel in the hamlet may have

been the site of a meeting where CIA and FBI

agents offered a former gangland chief $1 million

to kill Martin Luther King Jr.

The House Select Committee on Assassinations

in Washington yesterday said it will question an

inmate at an Ohio penitentiary who claims he set

up the secret meeting with Carlo Gambino in

1968. The motel was not identified.

Some residents and motel managers of this

Tioga County community expressed mixed feel-

ings about their town hitting the limelight as a

gangland gathering place. None of those who

were interviewed could say where the meeting

may have been held.

"It just looks bad for the town. But some

people say it is unlikely that the Mafia would

have returned to the scene of the crime after

an" said one resident.

"Sure it could have happened. A lot of weirc

people and things happened here when we were

open. But if they came, I would think they'd have

been quiet and inconspicuous about it. I can't

remember anything about it," said one motel

manager, Donna Tryon.

Tryon helped her father Stanley Payne manage

an 1l-cabin motel between West Main Street and

Route 434 until it was closed in 1969.

Albert Vizak, manager of the Real Motel on the

border of Tioga and Broome counties, said he

doubted that his motel was used for the meeting.

Ray Sawyer, who managed anotner flutes us

Route 434, said his cabins were closed during the

winter and could not have been used.

There are two other motels in the Apalachir

area: the Apalachin Tavern, which has motel

rooms, and the Bennett Motel, on the border, of

Broome and Tioga counties.

The Chairman. And what was there, given the kind of tone

49311

that was set from the top by Mr. Hooves, the realization

493%

that he wanted DI. King destroyed, and with that notion

4933!

being prevalent throughout the entire bureau, and trickling

4934

all the way down to men like Rose who came in this afternoon

4935

and admitted under oath that he was

racially prejudiced,

4936 with the knowledge existing throughout the entire bureau

4937

that Hoover wanted him destroyed, what would stop

some

agent

4938

from feeling that he could with impunity kill Di. King?

49391

Mr. Brennan. I think that is an extreme supposition.

I

4940/

think that the people in the FBI, at least on the basis of

4941:

my personal experience over the years that I worked in the

4942

FBI for more than 26 years, were men of great dedication and

4943

integrity, and I would say that that would be a dar-out

extreme case.
