CHICOFSKY stated that he believes that JOHN KELLEY

was involved in the robbery of the VA Hospital and he said

this because CHICOFSKY claims that on several occasions in

the past KELLEY, who CHICOFSKY says believes the Post Office

has some kind of an apparatus on his 1966 gold Cadillac

which enables them to ascertain the whereabouts of this

car, has intentionally left his car in downtown Boston,

proceeded with the informant via the car borrowed from

"PRO"LERNER or from some other person, to Hyde Square where

they would walk over to a 1962 or 1963 Buick, two-door,

hardtop, light blue and cream in color.

CHICOFSKY said

that the car was a light blue top and light blue bottom, and

had a cream stripe;

that the driver of this car was 40 years

of' age;

5'7" to 5'8"; stocky build; approximately 160 Ibs.;

very dark complected and appeared to be an

Italian and

had a flat nose and black hair.

CHICOFSKY said that this individual would get

in to the back seat of the car

• and KELLEY would sit in the

passenger seat and he would drive on KELLEY's instructions

into the vicinity of the VA Hospital, and that this

individual would get out and walk towards the VA Hospital.

CHICOFSKY stated

that on other occasions he would drop them

off one street car stop away from the VA Hospital, and they

would take the street car to the VA Hospital, and he would

be back in an hour and a half to pick them up. CHICOFSKY

advised that this was taking place during the late morning

hours and that from conversation he knew that KELLEY was

looking over a

score from the lobby of the VA Hospital.

Informant said he never heard this unknown person's

but he got the impression that KELLEY was doing

this individual a favor by cutting him in on a score since

he missed out on the Post Office score.

Informant on 8/16/66 advised SA RAYMOND F. BALL and

SA JOHN F.. SWEENEY that he had heard some information around

7/23/66 that JOHN KELLEY and "PRO"LERNER and four other individuals

had a good score going for them.

The informant stated that he knew that KELLEY and

his mail robbery associates were strapped for funds.

Informant stated that during the recent wave of gangland

assassinations in the Boston area, KELLEY was known to have

offered use of bullet proof vests and machine guns to members of

the group which was fighting the group headed by GEORGE McLAUGHLIN.

Informant advised that he heard that KELLEY could get access to

some former Army weapons and that the vests which he had indicated

were possibly vests formerly used by the military.

The informant further advised that he had heard that

there were possibly six men involved in the holdup at the

VA Hospital.
