The Friars Club was originally chartered in New York
City as a social club with a membership predominantly of enter-
tainers. A branch was subsequently formed in Beverly Hills,
California, with its members consisting mainly of those involved
in the motion picture business. In recent years, the membership
of the Beverly Hills Friars Club has included many wealthy indi-
viduals and others of questionable reputation from various walks
of life. A very small percentage of the movie personalities
are presently members of this club. The Friars Club is noted
for its many charitable functions, and for its "roasting" of
many famous individuals. Those "roasted" have included-
JACK BENNY, Comedian; PHIL
SILVERS, Comedian. A littlepublicized activity at the Friars
Club was its high-stake card games, which eventually lured

indicated that certain individuals had traveled in Interstate
Commerce between Las Vegas and Los Angeles, and Miami and Los
Angeles, in violation of the Interstate Transportation in Aid

members of the Friars Club used "peek holes" to observe the cards
held in their opponent's hand, and by use of an electronic device,
transmitted this vital information to their co-conspirators.

granted permission to search _on July 20, 1967.
As a result of searches of the attic and roof area of the Friars
Club, Special Agents of the FBI obtained evidence that "peek
holes" were located in the attic above the second floor of the
Friars Club in the room now used as the main dining room, and
in two small room located on each side of the stage. These
peeks consisted of false air vents, false electrical outlets,
and a loud speaker that could be removed to allow a clear view
of the space below. Los Angeles report of SA

The flashlight was also coated with silicone rubber. Spare

switch, was also found. The inside of the hatch was equipped
with a hinge and pin that could be used as a locking device.

An examination of the other locked hatch on the roof
of the Friars Club was made and this led to the attic area over
the poker room, which was located adjacent to the main card
room. This was also the only entrance or exit to this area.
The Agents found the interior had been set up similar to the
larger crawl way mentioned above. The Agents found the same
tape on the metal pipes, the same rug padding, the same type
of hole with silicone rubber, and a partially completed hole.
The completed hole was sprayed black and a can of black Krylon
paint was also found. Investigation by the FBI determined that
this paint was manufactured on February 10, 1965, and was not
available to retailers until three to four months later. The
Latent Fingerprint Section of the FBI Laboratory developed two
fingerprints on this can which were determined to be identical

lli a ore Judge Gray for
argument on notions previously filed for
reduction of sentence based on Rosellis
alleged participation with CIA in a plot to
assassinate Fidel Castro. Other notions were
filed to reduce sentence because of poor
health and to modify his fine because Roselli
is broke. Judge Gray indicated to Rose11i'sattorney that Roselli's story conoernigg CIA
would hold no weight in his court and hat su
an event would have been catastrophic;
Rosellis attorney then turned his attention
his argument based on Roselli's financial cor

his matter until 10/18/71 to allow Govern-

ine of $55,000.
Special Investigative Division concurs
with recommendation of SAC, Los Angeles, that
limited investigation into Rose1li's financia
condition based on information already
developed concerning Roselli's ability to pay
