then explained that if he had made such a call it was because
he was "smashed."

| J was then exhibited a photograph of a white
male dressed in a sweater and tie with dark sunglasses
standing at the corner of 5th and Pacific in Bremerton,
Washington, and asked if he knew this individual. | |
upon observing this photograph stated that this picture was
not of him and it was not of his father and it was not of
his brother, He further stated that he did not know this
individual and maintained that he did not introduce CARL
FLEMING of Newsweek Magazine to this man in the photograph
or to anyone else and that he did not introduce anyone to the
man in this photograph.

then stated the only time he saw CARL
FLEMING was on Friday, during the latter part of February,
exact date not recalled and that he was interviewed at length
by Mr. FLEMING for personal background information and after

a detailed a y interview they ended up having dinner
along with at the Windjammer Restaurant in Seattle.
At this point in the interview | was interrupted by

his wife who momentarily came into the kitchen where the

interview was being conducted, and she stated tha h Saw

CARL FLEMING on a Monday instead of a Friday. | then

said this may have been so. At this point | | was asked

if Mr. FLEMING had paid him any money whatsoever and] |

advised that CARL FLEMING had paid him[__]in cash for

expenses incurred for this story and that this occurred on

the day that he and his wife had dinner with Mr. FLEMING

and that he had given Mr. FLEMING a for this[ __| payment.
then admitted telephoning CARL FLEMING a number of

times at the Edgewater Inn in Seattle after their interview

which was on a Monday, but maintained that he never got in

touch with Mr. PLEMING. He then explained that if any of the

telephone calls he made to the Edgewater Inn on the day

following his interview by FLEMING were over three minutes in

length, it was because he had Mr. FLEMING paged. He further

stated that the reason he called FLEMING was to see if FLEMING

was going to| and if and when he was going to

FLEMING again at his home in California and asked him if he b7C

thought he had the right guy. According to| f

CARL FLEMING was enthusiastic and stated he thought| |

| then stated he received [___] through

this suggestion several times during the interview and then

also suggested that l, the airplane stewardess be shown

RE: - SOURCE

On 4/23/72 I called Assistant Director CHARLES BATES
at the Bureau. I reminded him that on February 23, there was
a telephone call made from the Edgewater Inn from_the room
oceupied by CARL FLEMING to a man by the name of [
at Silverdale, Washington. We had run a background check on
jand it would appear that his background is for all
practical Peon thel identical with the profile that we had

ted from the We had interviewed

and he admitted knowing MRL FLEMING. As a matter of
fact, he admitted that he had put an ad in the paper, got a
call one night from a person whose voice he recognized and
believed that this was the hijacker. In fact, he said that
initially he would be able, through his contacts, to invest
the money for the hijacker and would do so. In pressing him
for the identity of the person paking the telephone call, he
advised that it dould have been the

Northwest Auto parts in Seattle. He further advised that the

be We had interviewed jand he denied being the
man _in the photograph, denied f the person who called
in fact, he thinks that | jis a "ding bat." TI

advised Mr. BATES that the second photograph delivered to us,

that of the man standing by the automobiles, was actually taken

in Bremerton, W. ston, and the photograph did bear some

resemblance to | but we did not know if it was him or not.

I told him that we were back_interviewing | today and
were checking the alibi of [_] and would let him have the
results as well as New York before they conducted the

SA BOB STRANGER called from Los Angeles 4/22/72.
He said they had stops out for KARL FLEMING at his residence
and answering service and he had not called his answering
service all day and was not at his residence.

They called his | | and ) b6
talked tof | He said FLEMING was in New York and b7c
would prob y return about the middle of next week. They ,

aid not have a number for him but thought he could be
reached through Newsweek magazine.

After talking to you, I called Asst. Director
BATES at the Bureau and advised him of the circumstances.
He said that this posed somewhat of a probelm in view
of the Director's feeling about Newsweek, and felt the proper
way to handle it was for Los Angeles to come into the Bureau
with a teletype with copies for Seattle and New York,

summarizing the interviews with and b6
set out the desirability of interviewing FLEMING for the b7C
purpose of determining the identity of the person whom he b7D

interviewed in Seattle, together with the details of the
interview.

Los Angeles should then set out what they
found out today about FLEMING's presence in New York and
instruct New York to interview FLEMING, UACB.

Undoubtedly New York would not be able to do
anything through Newsweek until Monday and it would
give BATES time to handle the matter at SOG.

of the call, and the fact that he could hear no background
noise to indicate the call came from a tavern, he felt
that this call had some validity.

there he met a man 'me oned

e
informant asked | [which one it was and mentioned
two or three of them by name and finally said it was
the hijacker who jumped by parachute in Seattle.
then said it was and that he had gone to Seattle and there,
on a certain street corner, he met a woman in a yellow dress

who introduced him to the hijacker; that he had a long
conversation n@ which
Newsweek was ]

I suggested to Cee that dn view of the
rather strange nature of this information that he set

out a teletype to the Bureau, Seattle and Los Angeles

to have Los Angeles thoroughly reinterview the informant;
to interview and get to the bottom of it as soon
as possible. He said that they would.

'following reasons:

l. To consolidate NORJAK serials and make the

2. Remove the burden of following and reporting
prosecution of a case whith is. unrelated

Note: This is consistent with Bureau

requirements to "vigorously pursue this

dated 7/14/72, in which it b7c

was noted that this investigation requires Ct

the complete investigative attention of
one. Agent.

3. Will partially prevent confidential information
concerning this matter being brought. up during

for 11/27/72.

Note: X£ it becomes necessary to prove MURPHY
. as not UNSUB in "open court", careful consider-
" ation should be given: to how this is done so as
to prevent providing the real UNSUB with

May 1, 1972

Mr. J. Earl Milnes,

'Special Agent inCharge

Federal Bureau of Investigation,
1015 - Second Avenue,

SEATTLE, Washington 98100.

Dear Mr, Milnes,

| | Mx. Donald S. Murphy of Bremerton
who was interrogated by two of your agents on April
27, 1972 here in Bremerton. At that time he signed
'a Statement as reguested by the agents, and X would
appreciate immediately receiving a copy of that
statement for my records.

On Friday I had a conference with Mr. Smith
and Mr. Henry of your department, with my client and

advised them that he could give no further statement

to your agency until we had received the original
copy of his statement given on the 27th April. I
also requested that they provide me with copies of
any video tape or tape recordings that might have
been made at that time. They indicated that no
transcriptions were made, but if they are in error,
I also respectfully request that you provide me
with that,

Sincerely yours,

RBH/DYK

On May 1, 1972, I advised Assistant Director
BATES at the Bureau that CARL FLEMING had contacted the
Los Angeles Office and indicated he would be happy to come
to Seattle and would cooperate on this case, at the same
time asking the name of the USA and the SAC in Seattle.

- I told Mr. BATES that if FLEMING wanted to come
up her we would let him do it. He agreed.

On 5/1/72 SA ROBERT STRANGER, NORJAK case Agent
at Los Angeles, advisedhe had just received a telephone
call from KARL FLEMING who asked for the name and telephone
number of the SAC of the Seattle Office. In that call he
indicated that he is more than willing to come to Seattle |
to be of whatever assistance he can concerning the transcript °
of the hijacker's story.

STRANGER said he also recommended to FLEMING that
he might want 'to consult with the United States Attorney
at Seattle and he was given the name of Mr. PITKIN and
PITKIN's telephone number. STRANGER also advised he had
talked to the doctor who has been handling the recovery
treatment of MAX PALEVSKY since his release from the hospital.
The doctor told SA STRANGER that PALEVSKY is now in France
and the doctor would not approve any contact with |
PALEVSKY at thig time. He expects that PALEVSKY will
return to the United States in about a month and would
anticipate that he might be well enough for an interview
at that time. ,

advised on 72, that after visiting an area previously
which is located approximately
Oregon, returned to this site
with two members of the Oregon State Police (OSP). She hag
asked the OSP to accompany her because on the first visit
she had observed a tent and bits of paraphernalia to indicate
someone was living at the abandoned home site. The land is
presently owned by the Georgia Pacific Company, and you are
supposed to have permission before you can enter the area,
The second trip was on 3/25/72, and as on the first occasion,
she did not observe the individual who was living at the
old homestead. The OSP determined that one person was
living in a tent with no items of identification located.

On 3/31/72, Lieutenant | | OSP, Albany,
regon, advised that two of his men had acc inied

Oregon, on 3/25/72, and determined that an
unknown individual had been living at an abandoned home
site for a short period of time, probably less than two
weeks. Items of clothing, and of a personal nature were
found in a tent, and appeared to belong to a young adult.
Lieutenant said that his men had surmised that the
camp site belonged to students on spring vacation, There
was no indication whatsoever to indicate that the individual
was a fugitive from justice, or involved in any illegal
activities, and 'the camp site had definit n set

up within a week or ten days. Lieutenant pointed out

office, at his home on 3/24/72. She stated that she had
hiked up into the hills, about 11 miles east of Lebanon,
Oregon, Om some property owned by Georgia Pacific. As she
approached the area where an old mill formerly stood, she
saw some fresh cut daffodils. 'Subsequently she found a
place where a creek had been dammed and a very small tent had
been erected, partially hidden by some cedar trees. She
observed a sleeping bag and a three pound coffee can and
got the impression that this camp had been there for some
time. She said the area is not a camp site and no one should
be camping there and she thought of the fugitive in this
case.

It is suggested Portland reinterview her to
determine if there is any reason to feel the camp she saw
is connected with this situation and if necessary, check
out the occupant of the camp.
