Re memo Clerk OTIS L. PAGE dated 2/19/67 regarding

telephonic contact of HASKELL L. BROYLES, Division V at the

Bureau.

SA BROYLES, Division V at the Bureau was

tele-

phonically contacted in response to the specific questions

he had requested answers

to in referenced memo. M. BROYLES

was advised that this office had no information concerning

MIGUEL TORRES who, according to newspaper publicity, had been

transferred from

Angola Penitentiary where he was serving a

nine year burglary sentence to the Orleans Parish Prison at

the request of District Attorney GARRISON other than informa-

tion appearing in the newspapers.

that the files of this office showed that a MIGUEL TORRES WAS

NORE ARTS ON NICE PORES VAS

reported to this office as being a notorious burglar in the

New Orleans area but

that the office did not know

whether

identical with the individual returned to New Orleans

by District Attorney GARRISON. BROYLES was further advised

any information as to the names

of persons GARRISON'S investigation has indicated are

involved in the conspiracy to kill President KENNEDY. BROYLES

was further advised that this office did not have any informa-

tion as to the identity of the dangerous, physically poweriul

Cuban believed to be one of a group of Cubans who allegedly

hid behind a billboard along the parade route in Dallas,

Texas, 11/22/63, and who the investigators of the DA's Office

were apparently endeavoring to locate in Miami, Fla. recently.

It was pointed out to Mr. EROYLES that a newspaper account

stated that State Attorney RICHARD GERSTEIN in Miami, Fla.

was the only individual who apparently was taken into GARRISON'S

confidence in regard to the efforts of investigators to

locate this unknown Cuban in Miami. It was suggested to Mr.

BROYLES that possibly the Miami Office night have received

inquiries as to the identity of this individual and might

possibly be able to furnish some information as to his identity:

NO 89-69

A file was also located on MIGUEL ANGEL SILVA

TORRES, IS - CUBA, Bufile 105-117817, New Orleans file

105-1889.

A review of this file showed considerable back-

ground information as well as the fact that all of the

individuals mentioned above were relatives of MIGUEL ANGEL

SILVA. It was further determined that MIGUEL ANGEL SILVA

had New Orleans PD #94213, which was the same NOPD number

for the MIGUEL TORRES who was listed in the files of this

office as being a notorious burglar in the New Orleans area.

This information was telephonically furnished to SA BROYLES

at the Bureau at 12:50 PM on that date.

At 2:45 PM, Mr. BOB LENIHAN at the Bureau

telephonically contacted me at my residence and stated he

desired to know the source of the information regarding

GARRISON being a candidate for Lt. Governor which was con-

tained in a previous airtel submitted by this office.

He

also desired to know whether MIGUEL ANGEL SILVA or LUTGARDO

SILVA resided at 5008 Magaine Street in 1963. SA REGIS I.

KENNEDY was telephonically contacted

and advised that he

had received the information concerning GARRISON possibly

being a candidate for Lt. Governor,

from various sources

and that it was his recollection that this information had

been

furnished by JOE HEGMAN, also known as Joe Nola who

was formerly a criminal informant of the Las Vegas Office.

In addition, the same information had been furnished by NO

1309-C. A check was made of the City Directories maintained

in this office but no City Directory could be located for

1963, however, the 1964 City Directory listed LUTGARDO R.

SILVA, apparently a brother of MIGUEL ANGEL SILVA TORRES,

as residing at 2426 Port Street.

CLETUS M. MILEY and OTTO A. KRIEGS at 5008 Magazine Street.

This information was telephonically furnished to Mr. LENIHAN

at the Bureau at 3:44 PM.

On the night of 2/19/67, SA REGIS L. KENNEDY

telephonically advised that he had received information from

NO 1309-C that DON LOUIS, a former employee of GUY BANNISTER,

had furnished information to him on that date that he, LoUIs,

had been interviewed by investigators of the Orleans Parish

DA's Office and identified the following individuals as

persons the DA's Office suspects of being involved in the

conspiracy to assassinate President KENNEDY:
