Dallas Cubans


Recommended Posts

More names related to Cubans and their financiers in Texas, and others related to Bush. I hope, Robert, it all will amount to much more results than my reaction to it all, now... information overload.:

http://educationforu...ndpost&p=175175

Michael Paine gave up almost nothing in those lines of inquiry about his explanations of calls he had received from

Wilmeth. Was Ruth anymore forthcoming? Does the public record of testimony show she was even asked? How about Marina, was she asked about Wilmeth?

Tom, Check out the names mentioned in the recent post I made on Col. Frank Brandy, a Hilton Hotel guy and Army Reserves Intl in Havana. Some of the names he mentions might be familiar to you.

Although I have been aware of the Jack Ruby/Bertha Cheek meeting to discuss the sale of the Carousel Club, I only realized recently that there was a third party in this affair.

If the issue at hand was to be a new thread, which I do not believe is needed, it could be called Ruby, Cheek and the CIA, if Earl Golz source was correct regarding the person

mentioned below.

I believe that the effort to incriminate Jack Ruby and Lee Oswald began before the assassination of JFK, in regard to the former, and that Jack Ruby was coerced, either psychologically, or verbally [threatened with his life] to kill Oswald. Notice how the following document echoes, what P. D. Scott, referenced as the Phase Two Assassination stories echoed by Frank Sturgis aka Frank Fiorini as well as members of the DRE, to name but two person/organizations.

Strange Flashback to 1963?

February 9, 1977

Johnson Case Informant Beaten

Federal agents have intensified their investigation of the disappearance

of Robert M. Johnson of Iowas park after a key informant was beaten

shortly after he was subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in Wichita

Falls next week.

In an affadavit signed before he was attacked, the informant named

five persons from three cities who either knew of, or participated

in Johnson's staged disappearance Jan 3 from a fishing boat in the Gulf of Mexico.

Most, if not all, of the five also have been subpoenaed to testify

before the special grand jury, which is scheduled to begin its probe Monday.

Some of them have had roles in Johnson's grain storage and trucking operations.

One of them is an Eagle Pass businessman on whose Mexican ranch

the informant said Johnson was hiding. The informant

who once was a trusted friend of Johnson's was admitted to a

hospital in the Corpus Christi area Monday night for treatment

after he was beaten.

Port Aransas Constable Ben Cash reported. Neither Cash nor the informant could

be located Tuesday. Cash, who also was subpoenaed to testify.

before the grand jury in Wichita Falls next week, had said he was going to take

the informant with him before the beating.

The Constable had told the news earlier Monday before the assault, "If they

touch my man now with him under subpoena they are in real trouble."

A representative of the US Attorney's office conducting the federal probe said Tuesday

"we are very definitely considering charges of obstructing justice

as a result of the attack"

"This is intimidating a witness" he said. "He was under a grand jury subpoena.

And that is a very serious matter

In his affadavit, the informant said he saw Johnson in a Uvalde, Texas

truck stop about two weeks after his disappearance

He said Johnson had lost considerable weight as a result of the attack.

Johnson and others first went to Belize, a small country south of Mexico

and stayed there about three days before returning to this country by way of Mexico

City and Eagle Pass, the informant said.

Johnson's death was staged from a fishing boat after he jumped from a sandbar

less than one mile form shore at Port Aransas and waded to a waiting Cadillac

He rode in the trunk of the car to Corpus Christi, the informant said.

where he boarded a plane to fly south, according to authorities.

Before he left, Johnson 43, converted property and other assets

into hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, including the sale

of about $1 million in grain that he was supposed to be storing for farmers

law authorities said

After discovering this story, I am wondering if Rex Cauble ever appeared or was

obliquely referenced in the Warren Report or in the Johnson disappearance.

For those with poor memories, Ben Cash was one of the Sheriff's who was

part of the "Ruby-Oswald" documents

(/quote)

Regarding Robert Johnson, the only person by that name I have been

able to locate, was, someone who appears "to be using that name" who contacted

both Walter Cronkite and Mr. William Tangney of CBS to start a classic wild-goose chase.

ALLEGATION THAT LEE HARVEY OSWALD APPROACHED ROBERT JOHNSON ON A PLAN

http://www.maryferre...445&relPageId=1

On November 24, 1963, Sergeant McBurmer of the Oakland Police Department, Oakland, California, telephonically contacted the San Francisco Office of the FBI

and furnished the following information set forth below to Special Agent Daniel B. Bryan, Jr.,:

McBurmer stated he had just received a phone call from CBS-TV commentator Walker Cronkite, New York City.

Mr. Cronkite related that a male representing himself as Robert Johnson had called him via telephone from

444-9823 and stated that several days ago he had met Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas and that Oswald had

approached him, to join him, Oswald in his plan to assassinate President Kennedy. Johnson reportedly gave his

home address as 1601 Cox Street Jackson, Mississippi.

Sergeant McBurmer advised he had dispatched a patrol car to 531 - 24th Street Oakland, California, where tele-

phone number 444-9823 is located in a private residence.

He said that the people at this address denied any knowledge of a Robert Johnson or of any telephone call, to

New York City, from this telephone stating that the telephone located at this address had not been used in the

previous two hours. Sergeant McBurmer added that there was a woman living at this address with the surname

Johnson, however he did not have the woman's first name

Robert: Apparently "Robert Johnson also spoke with Mr William Tangney, head of the staff

for Mr. Conkrite and had added a variation to what he had told Mr Cronkite, this time telling Mr. Tangney

that "a group of men" approached him in Dallas, claiming to represent Vice-President Johnson, and had asked him to kill

the President. Robert Johnson told Mr. Tangney that he refused the men and was told to leave town by midnight.

......there is a listing for Morris Bishop, which states simply "Directing anti-Castro activities in Miami, Dallas elsewhere."

others listed include George Misco, Allen White, virtually all of the CIA Western Hemisphere Station employee's, and several listings such as Dave Yaras and Charles Crimaldi.

Crimaldi was a mafia hit man who testified at the trial of Tony Esposito, where he detailed Mafia activities in Chicago. Crimaldi is currently working for the FBI. Crimaldi states that he was present at the funeral meeting when Paul Ricca ordered members of the Chicago syndicate not to get involved in the Castro assassination plot business. Crimaldi states that he was once approached by the Central Intelligence Agency and offered employment as a contract killer in Europe. Crimaldi has spoken with members of the Select Committee on Assassinations staff. He has described CIA involvement with organized crime and has stated that to his knowledge, Jimmy Hoffa worked with Sam Giancana to plan the assassination of Fidel Castro. He does not believe, however, that Hoffa was involved in the Kennedy Assassination. Crimaldi speculated as to the cause of Charles Nicoletti's death, feeling that it was linked to Nicoletti's knowledge of CIA-Mafia assassination plots. However, he stated that he had no knowledge of Nicoletti's involvement in, or knowledge of the Kennedy assassination.

Five Friends from Old Mexico Nancy Powell WC Test.

Mr. Griffin.

Where were you when you first learned that President Kennedy had been shot?

Mrs. Powell.

I was at this guy's house over here in Dallas.

Mr. Griffin.

Who is that?

Mrs. Powell.

I don't know. You probably got his name down. I don't know which name you got.

Mr. Griffin.

I don't know whether I do. Mike Ryan? Mickey Ryan?

Mrs. Powell.

That is the. one, the guy that Jack picked up, the one I was telling you about.

Mr. Griffin.

How did you happen to go over to his house?

Mrs. Powell.

I had some friends come in from Old Mexico that morning. There were five of them.

Mr. Griffin.

Who were they?

Mrs. Powell.

Well, I didn't know all of them. There was this one guy I knew was a bartender in Tulsa, and when I worked in Oklahoma I---the last time, he rode this far with me. He had a friend in Old Mexico, and he was going to go over there for about a month or so. And I brought him over to the apartment. As a matter of fact, he went down there, and he had been gone about 2 or 3 months, and that morning someone knocked on the back door, and this was him, and he had these other people with him that I didn't know. Like I say, my grandmother lives with me. And he said, "I have some friends in the car and we have driven 1,500 miles and haven't eaten and didn't have any money. They had been down bumming around and could they come in?" And I said, "Sure." And he gets out and brings in a girl, a beatnik, which doesn't bother me. My grandmother is 76, and she is a beatnik

Mr. Griffin.

Not your grandmother?

Mrs. Powell.

No; the girl is a beatnik type. She is from England or something like that, I think. And his other boy comes in from New York and all three people are from New York, and he brings this colored guy. And like I live in the South, but I just figured that this is my property. He was a very nice guy. He was studying to be a doctor, and they had gone there for the summer. They came and I fixed breakfast and coffee. And this friend of mine from Tulsa has a friend over here and he wanted me to bring him over to see if he could borrow some money, because he was going to ride as far as Tulsa, and give them some money to get to New York. So, I brought him over here and went out to his friend's house and his friend wasn't at home. His friend's house is very close to the apartment that Mickey was living in.

Mr. Griffin.

Where was he living at that time?

Note by Robert Nancy Powell later says that that her residence was at Gaston and Grand

The five persons are

1. a "colored" man studying to be a Doctor.

2. a "beatnik" girl.

3.a white "boy" from New York

4. another white "boy" from New York

Another aspect of the activities on November 22, 1963 concerns Don Moon aka Andre Angeles.....

Mary Ferrell's website, records the following information.

ANGELES, ANDRE "DON MOON"

Mary's Comments: Friend of Wm. M. Duff (Gen. Walker's ex-aide). Juanita Buchanan said he called her from Washington, DC, 11/17/63 and said he was flying to Dallas 11/22/63 with "lots of money." Angeles' last call was 12/16/63, and he said he was using the name "Don Moon," Washington, DC, (202) 481-7057. Apparently, he was not checked by FBI.

Mrs. Roberts, interviewed by the Dallas Morning News just after the assassination, said "He was always in bed by 9:30 or 10:00 p.m."

Strange Flashback to 1963?

February 9, 1977

Johnson Case Informant Beaten

Federal agents have intensified their investigation of the disappearance

of Robert M. Johnson of Iowas park after a key informant was beaten

shortly after he was subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in Wichita

Falls next week.

In an affadavit signed before he was attacked, the informant named

five persons from three cities who either knew of, or participated

in Johnson's staged disappearance Jan 3 from a fishing boat in the Gulf of Mexico.

Most, if not all, of the five also have been subpoenaed to testify

before the special grand jury, which is scheduled to begin its probe Monday.

Some of them have had roles in Johnson's grain storage and trucking operations.

One of them is an Eagle Pass businessman on whose Mexican ranch

the informant said Johnson was hiding. The informant

who once was a trusted friend of Johnson's was admitted to a

hospital in the Corpus Christi area Monday night for treatment

after he was beaten.

Port Aransas Constable Ben Cash reported. Neither Cash nor the informant could

be located Tuesday. Cash, who also was subpoenaed to testify.

before the grand jury in Wichita Falls next week, had said he was going to take

the informant with him before the beating.

The Constable had told the news earlier Monday before the assault, "If they

touch my man now with him under subpoena they are in real trouble."

A representative of the US Attorney's office conducting the federal probe said Tuesday

"we are very definitely considering charges of obstructing justice

as a result of the attack"

"This is intimidating a witness" he said. "He was under a grand jury subpoena.

And that is a very serious matter

In his affadavit, the informant said he saw Johnson in a Uvalde, Texas

truck stop about two weeks after his disappearance

He said Johnson had lost considerable weight as a result of the attack.

Johnson and others first went to Belize, a small country south of Mexico

and stayed there about three days before returning to this country by way of Mexico

City and Eagle Pass, the informant said.

Johnson's death was staged from a fishing boat after he jumped from a sandbar

less than one mile form shore at Port Aransas and waded to a waiting Cadillac

He rode in the trunk of the car to Corpus Christi, the informant said.

where he boarded a plane to fly south, according to authorities.

Before he left, Johnson 43, converted property and other assets

into hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, including the sale

of about $1 million in grain that he was supposed to be storing for farmers

law authorities said

After discovering this story, I am wondering if Rex Cauble ever appeared or was

obliquely referenced in the Warren Report or in the Johnson disappearance.

For those with poor memories, Ben Cash was one of the Sheriff's who was

part of the "Ruby-Oswald" documents

(/quote)

Regarding Robert Johnson, the only person by that name I have been

able to locate, was, someone who appears "to be using that name" who contacted

both Walter Cronkite and Mr. William Tangney of CBS to start a classic wild-goose chase.

ALLEGATION THAT LEE HARVEY OSWALD APPROACHED ROBERT JOHNSON ON A PLAN

http://www.maryferre...445&relPageId=1

On November 24, 1963, Sergeant McBurmer of the Oakland Police Department, Oakland, California, telephonically contacted the San Francisco Office of the FBI

and furnished the following information set forth below to Special Agent Daniel B. Bryan, Jr.,:

McBurmer stated he had just received a phone call from CBS-TV commentator Walker Cronkite, New York City.

Mr. Cronkite related that a male representing himself as Robert Johnson had called him via telephone from

444-9823 and stated that several days ago he had met Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas and that Oswald had

approached him, to join him, Oswald in his plan to assassinate President Kennedy. Johnson reportedly gave his

home address as 1601 Cox Street Jackson, Mississippi.

Sergeant McBurmer advised he had dispatched a patrol car to 531 - 24th Street Oakland, California, where tele-

phone number 444-9823 is located in a private residence.

He said that the people at this address denied any knowledge of a Robert Johnson or of any telephone call, to

New York City, from this telephone stating that the telephone located at this address had not been used in the

previous two hours. Sergeant McBurmer added that there was a woman living at this address with the surname

Johnson, however he did not have the woman's first name

Robert: Apparently "Robert Johnson also spoke with Mr William Tangney, head of the staff

for Mr. Conkrite and had added a variation to what he had told Mr Cronkite, this time telling Mr. Tangney

that "a group of men" approached him in Dallas, claiming to represent Vice-President Johnson, and had asked him to kill

the President. Robert Johnson told Mr. Tangney that he refused the men and was told to leave town by midnight.

......there is a listing for Morris Bishop, which states simply "Directing anti-Castro activities in Miami, Dallas elsewhere."

others listed include George Misco, Allen White, virtually all of the CIA Western Hemisphere Station employee's, and several listings such as Dave Yaras and Charles Crimaldi.

Crimaldi was a mafia hit man who testified at the trial of Tony Esposito, where he detailed Mafia activities in Chicago. Crimaldi is currently working for the FBI. Crimaldi states that he was present at the funeral meeting when Paul Ricca ordered members of the Chicago syndicate not to get involved in the Castro assassination plot business. Crimaldi states that he was once approached by the Central Intelligence Agency and offered employment as a contract killer in Europe. Crimaldi has spoken with members of the Select Committee on Assassinations staff. He has described CIA involvement with organized crime and has stated that to his knowledge, Jimmy Hoffa worked with Sam Giancana to plan the assassination of Fidel Castro. He does not believe, however, that Hoffa was involved in the Kennedy Assassination. Crimaldi speculated as to the cause of Charles Nicoletti's death, feeling that it was linked to Nicoletti's knowledge of CIA-Mafia assassination plots. However, he stated that he had no knowledge of Nicoletti's involvement in, or knowledge of the Kennedy assassination.

Five Friends from Old Mexico Nancy Powell WC Test.

Mr. Griffin.

Where were you when you first learned that President Kennedy had been shot?

Mrs. Powell.

I was at this guy's house over here in Dallas.

Mr. Griffin.

Who is that?

Mrs. Powell.

I don't know. You probably got his name down. I don't know which name you got.

Mr. Griffin.

I don't know whether I do. Mike Ryan? Mickey Ryan?

Mrs. Powell.

That is the. one, the guy that Jack picked up, the one I was telling you about.

Mr. Griffin.

How did you happen to go over to his house?

Mrs. Powell.

I had some friends come in from Old Mexico that morning. There were five of them.

Mr. Griffin.

Who were they?

Mrs. Powell.

Well, I didn't know all of them. There was this one guy I knew was a bartender in Tulsa, and when I worked in Oklahoma I---the last time, he rode this far with me. He had a friend in Old Mexico, and he was going to go over there for about a month or so. And I brought him over to the apartment. As a matter of fact, he went down there, and he had been gone about 2 or 3 months, and that morning someone knocked on the back door, and this was him, and he had these other people with him that I didn't know. Like I say, my grandmother lives with me. And he said, "I have some friends in the car and we have driven 1,500 miles and haven't eaten and didn't have any money. They had been down bumming around and could they come in?" And I said, "Sure." And he gets out and brings in a girl, a beatnik, which doesn't bother me. My grandmother is 76, and she is a beatnik

Mr. Griffin.

Not your grandmother?

Mrs. Powell.

No; the girl is a beatnik type. She is from England or something like that, I think. And his other boy comes in from New York and all three people are from New York, and he brings this colored guy. And like I live in the South, but I just figured that this is my property. He was a very nice guy. He was studying to be a doctor, and they had gone there for the summer. They came and I fixed breakfast and coffee. And this friend of mine from Tulsa has a friend over here and he wanted me to bring him over to see if he could borrow some money, because he was going to ride as far as Tulsa, and give them some money to get to New York. So, I brought him over here and went out to his friend's house and his friend wasn't at home. His friend's house is very close to the apartment that Mickey was living in.

Mr. Griffin.

Where was he living at that time?

Note by Robert Nancy Powell later says that that her residence was at Gaston and Grand

The five persons are

1. a "colored" man studying to be a Doctor.

2. a "beatnik" girl.

3.a white "boy" from New York

4. another white "boy" from New York

I've located the 1910 and 1930 US Census records to support the contention that the photos above are the grave markers of the parents of Evalene and Bertha Bogle.

They probably moved to Texas just before the 1920 census was taken, because I cannot find a record. In 1910, Earlene, 5 years old, spelled "Earline" and 4 years old Georgia were listed, along with a baby brother named "Davie".

Robert,

I wish I could do more. Maybe you can answer this question? Why do you suppose the FBI stressed so vehemently that witness Jess Lynch was unreliable because his fingerprint record contradicted two minor records of arrest, many years before, in his youth....

Jess Lynch fingerprint/arrest record and second FBI interview memo 16 July 1964

http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?docId=62367&relPageId=174

Lynch denied prior arrests but FBI believes fingerprint records disprove this.

....yet that same FBI canonized this ...this....woman, as some sort of a St. Mary? Do you suppose the G-men located James Eulys Bledsoe, especially given the importance of his former spouse's "testimony," but decided to conceal even his name, based on the bureau's own strict standard of determining who was reliable, at least when it suited Mr. Hoover and the WC's Mr. Rankin?

James Eulys BLEDSOE

Note: He was slim, 5'll" tall, and elegant with auburn hair and green eyes. He moved from TN with his family to TX around 1910.

Tom, I think you answered your own question.....

but decided to conceal even his name, based on the bureau's own strict standard of determining who was reliable, at least when it suited Mr. Hoover and the WC's Mr. Rankin?

Or you could say that any facts that didn't strengthen the official version of events was summarily discarded....I realize your comment may have been a rhetorical question, but I at least wanted to respond........

I have for some time been wnating to get this thread back to matching what it is supposed to be about, and

the following is more than slightly interesting.....

Photograph of Dallas Police Department mug shot Willie Guerra taken August 18, 1963. [Full name Willie Morales Guerra]

April 5, 1965 [Monday] The body of David Vasquez of 4600 block of Sylvester

is found in car near Temple. He was apparently murdered on April 1, 1965 in the 5400 block of Singleton

Charged are Patricio Guerra, 23; Willie Guerra 20, and Gilbert Martinez, a brother-in-law of the younger

Guerra [News 4/16/65]

http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?docId=40393&relPageId=172

MFF Chronologies for August 18, 1963 have nothing regarding this person

http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?docId=40391&relPageId=47

08/18/63 an unknown author Photographic Image: Smaller Than 3" X 5" Mug shot of Willie Morales Guerra, negative number 91-001/282

http://jfk.ci.dallas.tx.us/41/4193-001.gif

reference for MFF Chronologies account of Vasquez murder

April 9. 1965 Dallas Morning News, page 1

3 Persons Sought in Death of Man

http://www.houseofnames.com/guerra-family-crest

So the reason I am posting this is....

The murder of David Vasquez, is not what this is about.

That is post JFK Assassination, and to be blunt, more or less irrelevant in this case so far.

What is pertinent, is that the photo in the Dallas Archives is dated Augugt 18, 1963...

which, IS before the assassination. So the question which I cannot answer

is what had this person done on August 18, 1963, which led to him having a mugshot.

The last time I looked you didn't get a mugshot without doing something illegal, on the day you did it,

and the historical record doesen't seem to indicate what that was.....

Maybe I am naive, but in a normal repository of records related to

a criminal investigation, one wouldn't even be asking this question,

there would be an answer and there would be no ambiguity.....

but then again, this is the JFK assassination.
