at the Miami Beach Dog Kennel Club and betting substantially

on the dogs.

On 6/22/64, MM 950-C advised she had received

information that ROBERTA or FRANK ROSENTHAL had a bank account

at the City National Bank of Miami Beach, which she understood

was located somewhere near Collins Avenue on 71st Street,

Miami Beach.

Informant stated she felt that SOL, the former

doorman, IDA, the bookkeeper, and BOBABURNSTEIN, the former

night superintendent, all of

the Beaux! Gardens Apartments,

North Bay Village, were paid by FRANK ROSENTHAL to keep

their mouths shut and informing ROSENTHAL when law enforcement

officials checked on his activities. AKa BobBeRNstein

normant stated that in the last ten days, sh

has seen FRANK ROSENTHAL at the Harbor Towers Apartments on

several occasions.

She said it is the word around North

Bay Village that this new apartment is catering to gamblers,

prostitutes and other unsavory individuals.

On 6/22/64, PCI TURNER TYSON related that last week

made an extensive elephone and eeprone wris

system which hadbeen used by FRANK ROSENTHAL in his now vacant;

apartment, 218, at the Beaux Gardens Apartments 8000 West

Drive, North Bay Village, Florida.

This survey reflected there had been in use a

warning device system between ROSENTHAL's apartment,

apartment #122, which was the former qffice of the Beaux

Gardens Apartments and was run by SAMALE BRAN,

the bookeeper's

office, which is occupied by IDA, and apartment #119, which

The survey also reflected ROSENTHAL had a PBX

set up in his closet and a one-way mirror located in his

living room. Several holes were also observed in the

ceiling of the apartment, which led this expert to believe

that line had been dropped from apartment #318 for the

use of ROSENTHAL.

Informant stated apartment #318 is

plenty occupied by seok, pee lillage

Another observation made by the telephone expert

was that due to the extra wiring which they found in the

frame room at the Beaux Gardens Apartments (which is

located across the hall from ROSENTHAL's former apartment),

ROSENTHAL could have had access to any telephone line at

the Beaux Gardens Apartments.

Informant said that on Sunday, 6/21/64, a middle-aged,

rather husky Negro male was stopped in the 8000 building of the

Beaux Gardens Apartments after he had knocked on the door at

apartment #218, which is now vacant (formerly occuped by

ROSENTHAL). This individual told the informant that he wanted

to see CHARLIE/WHITE (a former occupant of an apartment at the

Beaux Gardens Apartments). This individual was later identified

by the North Bay Village Police, according to the informant,

DeSoto, 1964 Florida license IW-176899.

Informant said

he had

seen this individual at ROSENTHAL's apartment

before, but

took it for granted that he was a porter of

some sort.
