of fact "they" even had knowledge concerning MARINO, EGAN,

and BEST having breakfast at the Continental Denver some

four or five weeks previous.

BEST stated that he has been genuinely concerned

as to SCAN's welfare and for this reason wanted to warn EGAN

about the couments made by MARINO.

He continued that EGAN

was out of town when he, BEST, returned from Phoenix, but

that at the earliest possible time, which he belleved to have

been on June 3, 1964, he had relayed the nature of his con-

versation with

MARINO.

BEST stated that EGAN had not indicated to him what

action he might take with regard to this information and as

a matter of fact had not had an opportunity to discuss the

matter with EGAN inasmuch as EGAN had been on another busi

ness trip and was not expected to return until sometime

during the weekend on June 6 - 7, 1964.

With rogerd to MARINO, BEST stated that he has

noted that MARINO frequently boasts about his contacts in

Chicago and has seemed to want to impress him with the fact

that he knows individuals who are indicated as being a part

of the hoodlum element. He stated that he could not recall

that MARINO has ever mentioned any particular person by

name, and the nature of his contact with MARINO has been

such that he had no basis for either believing or disbelieving

any statement made by him.

Me. BEST stated that he contemplated keeping in

contact with MARINO in order that he might be able to secure

specific information as to the source of the message which

was intended for JAMES W. EGAN.

He stated that any informa

tion obtained by him as a result of his contacts with MARIND

would be promptly furnished to the FBI.

Mr. BEST stated that he would continue in his e

attempt to secure additional information from MARINO as to

the source of information initially related by MARIN and

which involved an alleged message for JAMES W. EGAN to the

effect that he could avoid any more trouble if he would

contact ALDERISIO's Denver attorney and furnish an affidavit

repudiating his original information as furnished to the

Government.
