RE: [REDACTED] - 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 occupied by CARL FLEMING to a man by the name of [REDACTED] at Silverdale, Washington. We had run a background check on [REDACTED] and it would appear that his background is for all practical purposes, identical with the profile that we had extracted from the [REDACTED] We had interviewed [REDACTED] and he admitted knowing CARL 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 making the telephone call, he advised that it could have been [REDACTED] of the Northwest Auto parts in Seattle. He further advised that the photograph of the man in the black and white cap could possibly be [REDACTED] We had interviewed [REDACTED] and he denied being the man in the photograph, denied being the person who called [REDACTED] in fact, he thinks that LEWIS is a "ding bat." I advised Mr. BATES that the second photograph delivered to us, that of the man standing by the automobiles, was actually taken in Bremerton, Washington, and the photograph did bear some resemblance to [REDACTED] but we did not know if it was him or not. I told him that we were back interviewing [REDACTED] today and were checking the alibi of [REDACTED] and would let him have the results as well as New York before they conducted the interview of FLEMING.
