He went by Bob's kompound. He saw Bob with guns. He saw Bob burn three-zero codes.
Huh? What? Don't grab at straws. Don't be this skittish refugee.
He got bored. He got crazed. His pulse skipped.

RMDJ: It's like the name of this place. The Grapevine.
NDK: Yeah. The grape for the ape.
RMDJ: Guys come through, they hear, they start thinking.
NDK: They think, shit, 50 G's for a good deed, and it don't go unrewarded.
RMDJ: You do it down south, no jury would convict you.
NDK: You're right. It's like those guys in Mississippi. They wax those civil rights humps and walk scot-free.
NDK: You know who I saw here? Like in May?
RMDJ: Who?
NDK: Jimmy Ray. I bought goofballs off him in Jeff City.
RMDJ: I heard he broke out.
NDK: He did. He breaks out, then he's disappointed that there's no big manhunt.
RMDJ: That's Jimmy in a nutshell. Hey, world, notice me.
NDK: He hates niggers. You got to give him that.
RMDJ: He was tight with the guards. At Jeff City, I mean. I never liked that about him.

RMDJ: That could be. Remember, he left Jeff and joined the Army.
NDK: Jimmy said he might go see him.
RMDJ: Jimmy's a talker. He always talked about a whole lot of things.
NDK: He heard about the bounty. He nearly bust a gut talking about that.
RMDJ: Talk's talk. Jimmy said he fucked Marilyn Monroe, which don't mean he really did it.

UM #1:… you've heard the stories, right?
UM #2: Just glimmers. Carlos knows they're on the boat, so he sends some guys to the Keys.
UM #1: Not just any guys. He sends Chuck the Vice and Nardy Scavone.
UM #2: Oh, Jesus.

UM #1: Here's the good part. You'll like it.
UM #2: So tell me. Don't be a fucking cock-tease.

_DOCUMENT INSERT_: 12/3/67. Pouch communiquй. To: Dwight Holly. From: Fred Otash. Marked: "Confidential"/"Eyes Only"/ "Read Burn Immediately."
DH,
Here's the summary on my dealings with the PROSPECT to date, including my reasoning on why I think we should use him. I hate writing things down, so READ BURN IMMEDIATELY.
1 – Contact with PROSPECT established 8/16/67, at bar ("Acapulco") downstairs from PROSPECT's residence ("Har-K Apts") in Montreal. PROSPECT was using alias "Eric Starvo Galt." I utilized my fake appearance Latin accent used the alias "Raul Acias."
2 – At Acapulco I sold PROSPECT amphetamine capsules posed as smuggler with segregationist leanings. PROSPECT I met at Acapulco Neptune Tavern over next several nights discussed politics. PROSPECT admitted 2 recent robberies in states (East St. Louis, ill. New Hebron, Miss.) but did not mention his 4/23/67 prison escape. PROSPECT stated that he also robbed a prostitute pimp at a "fuck pad" in Montreal shortly after his arrival. He got $1,700 but was spending $ fast would "soon be broke."
3 – PROSPECT discussed his need to secure ID which would allow him to get a Canadian passport thus travel to other countries. I told him I had connections would help him. I lent him small amounts of money, supplied him with amphetamines discussed politics with him. He frequently mentioned his hatred of M. L. King desire to "kill niggers in Rhodesia." I stalled him per the ID papers continued to lend him $. PROSPECT became nervous stated his desire to return to the states, go to Alabama "Maybe go to work for Governor Wallace." I saw that he was determined to go improvised a plan.
4 – I told him I had some narcotics for him to drive across the border would pay him $1,200. He agreed to do the job. I filled a briefcase with sand, locked it gave it to him, then met him on the American side. This was a test to see if he would steal the briefcase or would prove to be as compliant as I thought he would be.
5 – He passed the test made 2 other "narcotics runs" for me. I saw that he was determined to drive to Alabama told him I would get him his ID, a new car more $, because I had more "jobs" for him to do. PROSPECT stated that he wanted to spend time in Birmingham, because of its history of "nigger bombings." I gave him $2,000 told him to wait for a letter at Birmingham General Delivery. I also gave him a phone-drop # to call me at in New Orleans.
6 – This was the risk part of the operation, because there was a chance the PROSPECT would ditch out on me. If he didn't, it would confirm his pliable nature suitable nature for our job.
7 – PROSPECT called phone-drop on 8/25 gave his address as "Economy Grill Rooms" in Birmingham. I mailed him $600 a small supply of biphetamine capsules, flew to Birmingham surveilled him from discreet distances. PROSPECT visited the National States Rights Party HQ, purchased right-wing leaflets bumper stickers holed up in his room. I called him (allegedly longdistance) agreed to give him $2,000 (advance against future jobs) so he could buy a new car. I wired the $ to him surveilled his purchase of a 1966 Mustang.
8 – PROSPECT secured an Alabama driver's license (9/6/67) under name "Eric Starve Galt" registered the '66 Mustang. I met PROSPECT in Birmingham, drank talked politics with him told him to buy some camera equipment to sell in Mexico. PROSPECT purchased $2,000 worth of equipment, which I told him to "sit on."
9 – PROSPECT remained in Birmingham, took a locksmith's course dance lessons surreptitiously filmed women from his rooming-house window. I remained in Birmingham took pains never to be seen with him. My plan was to situate PROSPECT in various places give him orders that would sound ridiculous should he be captured interrogated after our operation. PROSPECT's need for $ amphetamines kept him beholden to me.
