ADMINISTRATIVE (cont 'a)

COHN learned from GRANELLO's close friends that

It was their feeling that the latter was

"hit" because he

was making too many inquiries seeking the identity of the

assailants of his son MICHAEL. COHN feels that LEVINE might

know more about what was going on but that he would never

divulge this information to the FBI.

COHN feels that LEVINE

would confide in him and whatever information he receives,

he would make available to the NYO. COHN said that at

this point he does not represent LEVINE, but that the latter

wants him to represent him in his pending WPPDA matters.

COHN said he has made no decision in this respect. COHN

Indicated that his motives for cooperating with this Bureau

was that he became quite friendly with GRANELIO and abhorred

his violent death. He said that he had been contacted by the

NYCPD, but that he would rather provide this information to

the Bureau.

COHN was told that the NYCPD had primary juris-

diction in the murder and that the Bureau was cooperating

with the PD and was disseminating all pertinent Information.

He voiced no objections to disseminating information to the

PD that he might provide. COHN indicated that he would be in

touch with the

NYO, FBI, in the event any pertinent infor-

mation

comes to his attention.

It should be noted that ROY COHN requested that his

identity be kept concealed, therefore, the results of the

interview with him is being reported

on the administrative

page.

On September 26, 1970, JIMMY "JUMPS",

a close

associate of GRANELLO, contacted source at the latter's place

of business to pick up three pairs of slacks that GRANELLO

had ordered from informant.

The slacks were to be furnished

to a doctor who was treating GRANELLO's brother.

JIMMY

"JUMPS" told source that SALLY had not béen around for a

couple of days but that he was not to say anything since

he did not exactly loo GRANELLO's whereabouts.

Informant

said that since Saturday he has had no contact with GRANALLO

and does not know his present whereabouis. Informant said

this is very unusual because SALLy is usually on the phone

with him every day.

Informant could fumish no information

as to GRANELLO's present whereabouts and he feels certain

that JIMMY

"JUMPS"

lows nothing of his unereabouts.

Informant said that on Wednesday night, september 23,

1970, GRANSLIO Called on him

and invited him to have a drink

at the Parle Sheraton -Lounge.

When informant met with GRANSLID,

he was accompanied by an individual named MIle (Last name unknown)

(INU) who informant described as being formerly connected with

Hevana Race Track.

Informant said that GRANELLO mentioned

to him that that evening he was going out to the airport to

pick up GeorGe LavINe and inquired whether informant was in-

terested in going along.

Informant declined the invitation

but understood that GRANaLLO had the services of a limousine

and

chauffeur which he was using that night.

The limousine

and

chauffeur reportedly was

being provided

by the Swing A

Knit Corporation.

The driver was

with grey-black wavy hair, who

was believed to

= white malerge an olû

husky build,

friend of GRANELLO.

Informant said that approximately two or three weeks

250,

he was having dinner with his girlfriend at the Monsignore

Restaurant, when by chance he bumpedinto CHARLIE TOURINE

also known as laka Charlie White.

He said that his common-.

law wife had Inown CHARLIE fos a couple of years and had a

conversation with CHARLIE COncerning SALLY GRANELLO. CHARLIE

TOURINE mentioned to informant's girlfriend that source should

have nothing to do with GRANELLO, that under no circumstances

should he lend him any money and that he gradually should break

up their acquaintanceship.

Informant said that his girlfriend

does not particularly like GRANELLO and wanted to get soire

independent information about GRANELIO's staius and how he

was recruited by other mob members.
