Dear sirs,

Referring to the above-mentioned correspondence,

I have the honour of advising you of the following details:

In the course of proceedings - file no. 3 a Js 11/

64. - the Kassel Public Prosecutor's Office had caused the.

accused TIJERINA, née WILLIG, called BRAGA,

to be ques-

tioned. When interrogated on

she advised

that

she

was married

to the US national and soldier Loren-

stationed at Missouri/Texas.

nished at the start of the

questioning with a view

to put-

ting things right. She fürthermore stated, that on 19 May

1962 the marriage was contracted in Texas. However, she is

now living seperated from her husband and is on frienaly terms

with the US national Nick BRAGA from Chicago. On 26 April 61,

she left Germany for the United States of North America in

order to live with BRAGA at 1710 West,

77th Street. BRAGA

had told his parents that TIJEKINA was his wife. For this

reason she is known under the name of BrAGA only with the

relatives and friends in Chicago. Nick BRAGA intends to marry

PLUCKINA after her marriage will perhaps

have been dissolved.

Questioned with regard to the above-mentioned affair, TIJakINA

gave the following information:

"I have been informed of the contents of the here-present

letter,

sent anonymously from Chicago to the Bundeskriminal-

ant. In this letter,

the name of Jeannette BRAGA is being

mentioned. Jeannette BrAGA is my future sister-in-law.

is now approx. 18 years of age and lives with her parents

in the immediate neighbourhood of the place where Nick BRAGA

,and 1 are residing.

The other names mentioned in the let-

ter - Charles ENGLISH and Sam GIANCANA - of Chicago are un-

known to me. The letter says that jeanette BRAGA is on

friendly terms with harles ENGLISH. This I would like to

put into doubt.jo far, jeanette BRaGa has not had any boy

friend. Her parents are very

severe towds her, and she

is, for instance, not allowed to go away by herself in the

evening. I also positively deny having received countẻr-.

feit money from Chicago. Jeanette BRAGA has written only

once so far, but she never sent me any dollars, and Nick

BRAGA dropped me a line shortly befor Christmas 1963 to

the effect that he and June KORSAK known to us had been

visited by the criminal police. The police officers asked

them what I had taken to Germany. They said that I might

have taken drugs to Germany. Today, I quite understand

the reason why the criminal police made enquiries,

it has been established here that the anonymous letter

has been written by June KORSAK, whom I knew

BRAGA's mother. She (Korsak)

also lives in our immediate niegh-

bourhood and

alsonear BRAGA's parents. She deals

lette articles,

a representative

for EVON-articles. She also is on friendly terms with Nick

BRAGA's parents and also came to see us.

When I had decided

to go to

Nick BRAGA's mother spoiled my repu-

tation with consid. Shetold her that I only went to Ger-

many in order to see the child's father. She did not know

thatlIJERINA was the child's father. Nick BRAGA never

mentioned the thing to her and I was not in a position to

enlighten her because of Nick BRAGA's lies. BRAGA's parents

do not know that I am married to TIJERINA.

ca,

I went to by toilette articles with KORSAK.

hat KORSAK has been questioned by the police asa result

of this purchase.

I have

learned

that she cooperates with

the Chicago criminal police. She

advises to have to go to restaurants by order of the police

in order to lind out 1l prostitutes are staying there and

if drugs are being on sale. She then passes her observations

on to the police. She furthermore stated that she received

girls on probation who had been caught violating the law

and were

to be placed into homes. I believed everything

she said because she made a good impression upon me

and. I was in a foreign country and did not know KORSAK

really well."

since August 1963, the accused TIJERINA has been stay-,

ing as a visitor with her mother at Kassel and has so far

not taken any definite decision as to whether she will re-

turn to the USA or not. She is still a German national.

In 1958 she came to the notice of our authorities

here because she had violated the traffic law.

There

are

no further criminal-police informations on this person.

The Kassel Public Prosecution do

not think necessary

, to ask for more documents. The handwritten and typed do-

cuments seem to prove that June KORSAK mentioned by you

may be taken into consideration as the author of the ano-

nymous letter. She is however not identical to Jeanette
