TO BECOME ACTIVE IN ORGANIZED CRIME HERE. CAIN HAS

DEVELOPED A "BRAZEN" ATTITUDE AND AS EXAMPLE WHEN HE READ

RECENT NEWSPAPER PUBLICITY THAT ATTORNEY GENERAL MITCHELL

ANNOUNCED THAT BACK OF ORGANIZED CRIME IN CHICAGO HAD BEEN

BROKEN BECAUSE NO CAPABLE LEADER COULD BE FOUND TO LEAD

ORGANIZATION HERE, CAIN TOLD MORAN "MITCHELL HAS A NEW

CANDIDATE NOW".

MORAN ADVISED THAT IMMEDIATELY UPON HIS ARRIVAL IN

CHICAGO FROM PRISON, CAIN MADE TWO APPOINIMENTS. ONE WAS

WITH FIORE BUCCIERI, UPPER ECHELON LEADER OF ORGANIZED CRIME

HERE, AND OTHER WAS WITH PAI MARCY, LEADER CHICAGO'S FIRST

WARD DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION WITH WHOM CAIN WAS CLOSE TO

WHEN HE WAS WORKING FOR GIANCANA.

PURPOSE OF MEETINGS WAS FOR CAIN TO OBTAIN JOB IN

ORGANIZED CRIME HERE.. MORAN ADVISED THAT CAIN FEELS HE

COULD OBTAIN TOP JOB UNDER RALPH PIERCE, UPPER ECHELON

LEADER ON SOUTH SIDE CHICAGO, WHOSE TOP LIEUTENANI, ART

MARKLE, DIED THREE WEEKS AGO. HOWEVER, CAIN HOLDING OUT FOR

SOMETHING BETTER ACCORDING TO WHAT HE TOLD MORAN.

ANOTHER PURPOSE OF CAIN'S MEETINGS WAS TO OBTAIN JOB

FOR HIS FORMER WIFE, HARIETTE BLAKE, A RECORDING ARTIST.

THIS HE IMMEDIATELY DID AI MANGAM'S CHATEAU, A FIRST CLASS

WEST SUBURBAN NIGHT CLUB WHERE BLAKE OPENED LAST NIGHT.

IT IS DEFINITE FEELING OF MORAN THAT CAIN STRIVING FOR

A TOP JOB IN ORGANIZED CRIME AND WITH CHARACTERISTIC "GALL"

FEELS HE CAN "GET THE OUTFIT MOVING AGAIN" WITHOUT PARTICULAR

JEOPARDY TO HIMSELF• MORAN FEELS CAIN WOULD DEFINITELY

TAKE TOP JOB ALTHOUGH SINCE HE REMAINS ON PROBATION UNTIL

APRIL, SEVENTYTWO, WILL PROBABLY WAIT TO MAKE "TOO MANY

MOVES" UNTIL THEN.

IT IS OPINION OF CHICAGO OFFICE THAT MORAN'S

INFORMATION IS UNDOUBTEDLY ACCURATE. CAIN IS EGOTISTICAL,

SHARP, INTELLIGENT AND AMBITIOUS AND CLOSE TO GIANCANA IN

PAST. IT WOULD NOT BE PASI HIM, IN FRAME OF MIND HE

APPARENTLY IS IN, TO ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN NEAR LEADERSHIP

POSITION IN ORGANIZED CRIME HERE AND TO ATTEMPT TO
