Regarding the other bombings, "MOONEY" has ordered

that all bookmakers in the Miami area be brought under the

jurisdiction and control of Chicago and emphasized this

authority with the bombing of recalcitrants. Among these

were "CHAPPY" RAND, IRVING "MICKEY" ZION and ALPHIE MART, all

Miami Beach and Miami bookmakers and all victims of bombing

attacks.U

Informant said that these orders specifically

excludes the Italian bookmakers and gamblers.

Informant was

asked if these orders emanated from MOONEY personally and

informant was unable to determine this at this time.

He

states he has no knowledge of MOONEY's presence in Miami, either

or in the recent past.

Informant was asked if this information

was contrary to the fact that MOONEY had been replaced as boss

of Chicago and replied that it was not, but merely indicates

that the gambling action which is successfully operated in Miami

as a result of these bombings will go to MOONEY and/or the

Chicago family.U

Informant advised on 9/4/67, that, with regard to

COOK, the contract is now to kill him. An unsuccessful

attempt was made on 8/25/67 to shoot COOK and two shots were

fired at him, both of which missed.&

Close contact is being maintained with the informant

for further details regarding this situation.
