Dear Mr. Hoover:
Your comments and letter have been very much. -
appreciated. Our history class was very happy and also proud
to receive your comments which were very helpful in helping
us draw conclusions.
We understand why you can't give us more infor-
mation, and we were surprised that you could tell us as much
as you did. We realize your position and are glad you answered
an unn rli-.-.-.1 J V a -
We certainly don't want to be too time consuming"
and ii we are, don't bother with us", we understand; but we have
more questions! Living in Alabama, we realize that we are looked _
down on by many--especially those in the North. Still we want to
see justice done, and that's why I want to question you on the _Iiiuzzo__._";'. -
Case and FBI-man, Rowe. Is this really an FBI agent, and was this
an attempt to inliltrate the Klan? It seems like a good idea, i_f Rowe
is what he says he ts. This is what I wonder about. ! Another thing
I'm interested in is the U. K. A. , and that's why I enclosed the ,
newspaper clipping; some of the issues in it raise questions. What '
do you think about KKK and the others? Answer as you see fit, - Iand thanks again! I

Your letter oi May? 18th, with enclosure,
has been received.
' In response to your inquiry, I would like to
point out that Gary Thomas Rowe furnished information to this
Bureau for which he was compensated; however, he was
not a Special Agent. Since litigation in the case to which you
referred has not been concluded, I am sure you will understand
why it is not possible for me to comment as you desire.
As I pointed out in my prior letter, information
in our iiles must be maintained as confidential. However,
general background information concerning the organization you
mentioned can be {ound in "The FBI Story" hy Don Whitehead
which may be available in your school or local library.

On 5/3/85 Gary Thomas Rove, Bureau informant who is f>appearing as a witness in the Liuzzo murder trial. currently Gge!
in progress in Lowndes county, Alabama, was served with a"civil summons by the sherift of Loandes County. The summonsnotiiied Rowe that he Ias_the defendant in a suit tor, ' j! J
nonpayment or funds due in the amount of $6,000 tor professional
services rendered to him by Attorney Ilatt'_liurph_y. Murphy is ,
the Klan attorney who represented Rowe and the other three ,
subjects at the time of their initial arrests on 3/36/65 and
arranged for their release on $25,000 bond each. The sum
. requires Rowe to answer within thirty days in the circuit _a .
court for Lowndes County, Alabama. '. ii he does not answer,'
it is possible that a default judgment could be obtained -against him in the amount of $6,0QC. C '

Memorandum to Mr. Belmont
RE: EUGENE THOMAS, ET AL;e
Bureau investigation of Murphy's claim as it would a£iord_
Bureau an opportunity to rebutt any attempt to extort00 and in addition would damage the reputation oi Murphy?
and the Ku Klux Klan. '
RECOMMENDATIONS or IAOBILE orgricgs: *to
th *
$6
Mobile recommended that the Bureau authorize the
investigation oi Murphy's claim against Rowe and consult the
Department concerning Rowe! course of action in defending
himself to determine if the Department would represent his or
if he would require private counsel. é - - "' "1 .4_ .
osssnva'r*1ous_ or cgrnaruu. _1;wss'riel-rive DIVISION: ~~»- ~» -'-~l-~~:---»~
Attorney Murphy has publicly stated his connection
with the Klan and has been publicly photographed in Klan robes. -
Under our domestic intelligence responsibilities we need no
entree such as this suit to_conduct an investigation at latt 5.
Hurphr. Murphy's claim oi $6,000 for professional services '
rendered is a private civil suit between a lawyer and his -
alleged client which does not constitute lay basis for a Bureau
investigation. To inject the Bureau into the situation without
full and complete justification would place the Bureau in an
embarrassing position and Murphy would take full advantage oi
this, This same reasoning would also apply to any direct:
participation by the Department in this Bit. §-g -'
u = : - '-. 1 - _ I .7 .
Murphy's claim against Rowe would appear to be " '
exorbitant and there is some real question as to contractual 92
arrangements for his services which should be resolved to avoid
a default judgment being rendered against Rowe for the entire _ *
amount. If such a Judgment was rendered it light otter a £Jd:_
serious obstacle to the return of Rowe to the State of Alabama
when and if further testimony is needed.'- P * - -u I-» »

NOTE:
'4_b - y-"'¬' Collie Leroy Wilkins is one of the three subjectaj'pnesently under state indictment for the murder of llrl. 7101? :-Ltzzo. His initial trial on the indictment resulted in a
h g jury and he is expected to be retried in September, 1965.
At the time of his arrest on 3/26/65 he was on probation for
violation of the National Firearms Act which charge was brought
by the Alcohol Tobacco Tax Division of the Treasury Department
and a probation violators warrant was issued. He is currently
under $500 bond on that warrant. Birmingham has advised that'
AUSA Taylor has requested the Bureau: opinion and that we ']
obtain the Benartnenta opinion as to whether or not now would
be the proper time to proceed against Wilkins to revoke the -
probation. The parole violators warrant issued from I matter
entirely outside of the Bureau's jurisdiction and the opinion_w" *
requested of the Bureau by Taylor is entirely prosecut and 1

For record purposes, Milgsdiorman, a' reporter formerly employed

7/I3-65 came in to see Wick. He said he is associated with William Bradford
A. /uie who has written considerably on civil rights matters in the South particularly
the murder of the three civil rights workers in Philadelphia, Mississippi, last ,
year. Dorman said he and I-luie, through the attorneys of Gary Rowe, will soon -make an oifer_to Rowe of a three-way money split intended to corivhice him he
t should cooperate with them in telling his story concerning the Liuzzo murder ', . . . V. . . . . . ,_,_ _} . qr _. _Gui -
Dorman said that he will write the book after talkihg to Rowe and92 that Huie will write the screen version for movie use. Already said Dorman he
I has a $75, 000 guarantee for the book and a $75, 000 promise for the movie. The
resulting $150, 000 would be split three ways, $10, 000 would be given to Rowe
immediately alter the trial and the remaining $40, 000 of his share within a few "
months thereaiter. Also Rowe would share, according to Dorman, in any upwardnegotiation adjustments in the movie and book rights, ;sa1es, etcll >..-..-3
