THOMPSON paid $39.75 of his bill in cash, the

remaining $150.00 being charged to his Texaco Credit Card,

which amount of $150.00 was the maximum amount permitted

to be charged on the

card.

On May 2, 1967, Mr. GEHL GARRETT, officer at the

Commercial Bank of Miami,

9301 NW 7th Avenue, Miami,

confidentially advised that FRANK and JANET STURGIS

have had

a special checking account #4-04-649-8 since May 28, 1962,

at which time their address was 2515 NW 122nd Street. The

record indicated STURGIS was employed by the Hampton Roads

Salvage Company. Checks against the account which were to

be mailed out with the next monthly statement on May 15, 1967,

were reviewed and no check was located which appeared petinent

to this case. The checking account balance as of May 2, 19674

was $133.05. STURGIS had no savings account at the bank.

The confidential source who furnished the information

on which investigation was predicated, as cited on Page!

of the LHM, is PCI EARL HAUK, Miami, who stated he woul

testify to the information furnished.

The confidential source abroad referred to oly

Page 34 of the LHM is Legat, Mexico, which advised Miami

that Mexican authorities who had found the explosives in this

case heard telephone call from Legat to Miami relative to

bombing of the Cuban Embassy, Mexico City, May 3, 1967-B04g

The roll of 8 millimeter colored movie film received

by Miami from the Bureau per Bureau airtel dated May 9, 1967,

was reviewed at Miami and found to contain pictures of subjects

FIORINI, ROCHE and THOMPSON evidently taken in Mexico and other

scenes in Mexico, none of which appear to be of evidentiary.

nature.

Accordingly,

the matter of this film obtained by the

Buffalo Office, which had placed a stop on such film submitted

by subject FIORINI, aka., Sturgis, is not set out in the LHM-

in order to assure

protection to the company contacted by

the Buffalo Office.

Bureau is requested to furnish LHM to the Department

and thereafter advise Miami of any further investigation

desired or prosecutive action contemplated.
