ThaT CLA KOS TOO A We tre intervie tar agent

and showed a desire to assist the New York Office in this

investigation and other labor matters within the juris-

diction of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

This report is setting out a portion of the

interview in the body of the report and placing this

confidential information on the administrative pages for

the purpose of protecting CLARK who has been opened by

the New York Office as a Potential Criminal Informant.

It is felt that due to CLARks closeness to labor officials

and other individuals, certain information which will be

forth could be readily traced to him.

at he is very friendly with

TONY PROVENZANO, NUNZIO PROVENZANO,

(SAL BRIGUGLIO, RAYMOND WEAN, and RICHIE, BARRETT:

that in the past he has done "strong-arm works for TONY:

and NUNZIO PROVENZANO, and had been accompanied by L2uDs

and BARRETT on these occasions.

CLArK stated thatthe was*

arrested in 1961 with RICHIE BARRETT while he and BARREM

were attempting to enter a juvenile furniture company. in

New Jersey for the purpose

of pouring chemicals all over

the machinery and floors of the building.

He stated that

he

and BARRETT were apprehended by the police on the roof

of this building before they could gain entrance, and as

a result they were charged with attempted burglary.

CLARK stated further that the police were not

cognizant of the actual reason for their presence, and

although they confiscated the chemicals apparently never

tied the facts together and did not know that this ais

ruption of the business, was the real reason

for their being

there.

CLARK went on to advise that "HAPPY" REYNOLDS was

present but was hiding in the automobile parked near the

factory and the police never discovered him. This

"contract" for the disruption of this business was given

to CLARK, BARRETT, and REYNOLDS by NUNZIO PROVENZANO,

and they were to be paid $1500 upon completion of the job.

CLARK went on to advise that as a result of their arrest

prior to the fulfillment of

the contract, NUNZIO never

paid the money.

CLARK went on to advise

that he is ex-

tremely bitter about NUNZIO's not paying the money or

paying the police so that the charges could have been

dropped.

CLARK went on at this point to advise that in

New Jersey money will buy just about anyone from judges on

down in the local towns and cities.

two occasions fulfilled "contracts"

for TONY PROVENZANO

for assaulting GEORGE PHILIPS, leader of the opposition

in Local 560,

International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBI)•

ceived $1,000 from TONY which was paid through NUNZIO

PROVENZANO •

On the second occasion, he and BARRETT. re-

ceived $2,500 directly from TONY PROVENZANO at a Local 560

meeting.

CLARK advised' that when PHILLIPS was assaulted on

the second occasion the instructions were to break PHILLIPS'

legs.

As a result, BARRETT used a hammer in the assault

and

repeatedly struck PHILLIPS on the body and legs with

the hammer in an attempt to break his legs.

CLARK WAS

the opinion that SAL BRIGUeLIowas-

the person responsible

for the disappearance

or "3 Fingers

Brown

CLARK advised he has nothing definite regarding the

disappearance of Casteretzogbut it is strongly rumorea among

labor persons

that it was BRIGUGLIO's boys who did the job.

He went on to advise that BRIGUGLIO has his own men which

he uses for any strong-arm work or other "contracts"

•

CLARK, upon the conclusion of this interview,

advised that he was attempting to contact REYNOLDS on this

date, and if he is successful would attempt to obtain infor-

mation concerning the murder of WALTER GLOCKNER.
