he would like to obtain a comment from Mr. Kelley concerning the
possibility of this matter reflecting on the integrity of a ' t
high ranking Bureau official.
. Rntz, Callahan, and Director Kelley, SA Coll advised Armstrong, gAfter discussing the matter with Messrs. Bcynton,
-that Mr. Kelley did not feel that he should comment whatsoever §w/
in this matter as it was strictly a private matter and in no way A
vconnected with Mr. Callahan's official position. He was also _f_advised that the matter is still in litigation and all facts - ¥k/
have not been resolved and the possibility exists that there are '9292
explanations other than the one which he, Armstrong, implied. -
It was also indicated to Armstrong that it was hoped that he had
reviewed the entire deposition, particularly the explanation given
by Mr. Callahan on Pages 32 and 33 of the deposition and that
he would objectively portray what the deposition revealed. He
was
Mr.again informed that this matter had nothing to do with - _
Callahan's official duties and related solely to his personal

Memorandum to Mr. Adams
Re: ESTATE OF CLYDE A TOLSON, DECEASED
SUPERIORCOURT ADMINISTRATION #868-75 .
SUBPOENA FOR FBI RECORDS ~
January 1, 1964. A review of perso_nnel file No.67-9524, Section 4,
determined that the file contains no reports of annual physical examination
or other personal medical records of Mr. Tolson. The file does contain
correspondence relating to his retirement at age 70 during 1970, and his
subsequent separation as a re -employed aimuitant in 1972. Serials i"_ ,446, 44754451, 452, 453, 464 and 465 appear 66 relate to these matters. ~
In addition, items of unrecorded material which may be relevant were
marked by slips of paper for convenient reference. 4
Mr. Tolson's leave records were reviewed and appropriate

Pl~"""L-""I'v'I{ _' Star Staff Vllit!l<,__5_-J/Clyde Aijoion, who served as J.
Edgar Hoover's No. 2 man at the
FBI, was mentally ill for years be-
fore his death last April and was
duped by another high FBI official
and "others" into willing them vast
sums of money which he had receiv-
ed ~from Hoover's estate, Tolsons
oldest brother has charged.
_In a petition contesting Tolsons
will, Hillary A. Tolson accused the
garmer No. 3 man at the FBI, John P.
afar, of conspiring with others to
xtract a will from Tolson shortly be-
fore his death. The will leaves Mohr V
and other friends of Tolson sums of
money ranging up to $30,000.Q.-A-i--ii
IN THE PETITION. filed in theplrobate office of D.C. Superior Court,illary Tolson claimed that Mohr
and "others" employed fraud, du-
ress, coercion and undue influence"
on the ailing Tolson in order to be-
come heirs to an estate valued at
more than $600,000 - most of which
was left to Tolson by his close friend,
HOOVBI.
Mohr, 63, the executor of the es-
tate, was the No.3 man at the FBI
under Hoover and Tolson. He retired
two years ago. He lives in Arlington.
Under terms of the will, Hillary
Tolson, currently executive director
of the White House Historical 1.ssoci-
ation and Clyde Tolsons only next- "
of-kin, was disinherited.
» The will leaves Tolson's holdings
-.- which include $430,000 in cash and
stocks, $70,000 in oil and mineral,
leases and Hoover's house on 30th '
Place NW, bequeathed to Tolson by _
Hoover to l5 heirs, most of whom '
were girlfriends or retainers of Tol- 'son Z. _~- .. .'J;.-..n..'.'.: -. a..¢r;i=Lr; ' I 1 f '

_"'lO MY BROTHER, Hi,1la,gLA.
To son, and his children, James Wal-
ter Tolson and Pamela Tolson Holst,
I leave nothing by this will," Tolson
wrote in the contested document. ~
~ The purported will and testament
was procured from Tolson! by fraud
and deceit exercised upon him by
Mohr! and other persons unknown,
the petition claims.
" It asks thatthe'tot't set aside the
will and appoint Hillary Tolson as
executor in place of Mohr to admin-
ister the assets of the estate. It asks
for a trial before jury.
As far as I know, they were on -the
" best of terms. There were no prob-
, lems between the brothers," Hillary
Tolson's attorney, Rolland G. La-
mensdorf, said last night.
Named most prominently in the
will were Mohr, who is to receive
, then Tolson's housekeeper, whowould receive $32,000 plus the homefurnishings; James . Crawford,
. Hoover's and Tolson's chauffeur,
$32,000, and Ddrvtlfyikillman, Tol-
son's secretary. $27,000. _
Also named as legatees in the will
are Tolsons three physicians, Drs.I Joseph V. Kennedy, William War-drop and Robert C oissers. Each is
terms of amendments to the will
signed only months before Tolsons
death. ml .

IN HIS PETITION Hillary '1olson
said his brother was extremely ill,
both mentally and physically, for mandy years" before he allegedlysigne the document and that he was
not in any way capable of making a
will." h.._.__.,-
Moreover, the petition charges
that none of the purported writing
in the will! is the codicil of Tol-
son!" and that the witnesses did not
sign their names in the presence or
at the request of Tolson!."
, The petition says Tolson suffered
two severe strokes, high blood pres-
sure, hypertension, a cerebral vascu-
lar disease, advanced arteriosclero-
sis during the eight years before his
death at 74. Tolson retired from the
FBI after Hoov_er died in 1972. _
"He was unale to maintain hisecuilibrium while standing and haddi ficulty in the movement of his ex-
tremitigs. He was actually unable t9
¢__"?_92 ,care for his own needs," the petition
says.
AS A RESULT of 'Iolsons!
weakened condition," the petition
says, Mohr! and those in collabo-
ration with him, revented others,including Hillary qblson! from see-ing him. '
ln_his last days;-actording to the
petition, Tolson became a virtualrecluse," and his speech becameslurred and he was o ten incoherent
and confused." i
_ He was easy prey for the undue
influence and coercion exhibited
upon him by Mohr!"and those in
concert with Mohr!," the petition_.. -L _ -. ....._ .

approximately 30 to 45 minutes, and I was accompanied by Associate
Director Nicholas P. Callalnn. _

you visited him described in reply to ! above!?
Yes. - .

During both visits with Mr. Tolson, he appeared alert,
rational, and in possession oi his mental faculties. We discussed past
and current matters oi topical interest and I otmrved nothing which
would indicate to me that he was oi other than sound mind, and capable
of making decisions.
I trust the ioregoing will be oi assistance to you.

Tolson's brother has filed suit against Mr. Mohr in the Superior
Court of the District of Columbia challenging the validity of
the last will and codicils left by Clyde A. Tolson on the grounds
that he was incompetent and the victim of undue influence and
. , _ I. <>- -~<- -....-.- _.._.._..
The will involved in the litigation was executed_o_
August 14, 1972 shortly after Mr. Tolson retired-. The codicilQ5 '
were executed between July 5, 1973 and.January 29, 1975. .35
We are advised that you visited Mr. Tolson followil"
his retirement and, therefore, you may be a potential witness
in this matter. You may, for example, be able to furnish useful
information as to his appearance or conditior at the time of your
visit or visits. For this reason, my partner, Mr. Frank Roberson,
and I desire to meet with you briefly to learn any information you
may have in this regard.

~ Q Wlshlnston Poststatf wi-lterQ__a_qI . .,BY Leon hqnll Dou las B F e tio Z to his attorney Rolland Lamens-
Clyde A. Tolson, who was J. Edgar
I-Ioov-er's closest friend and deputy for
decades at the FBI, disinherited his
own brother to the benefit and at the
suggestion of yet another long-time
FBI official, the brother has charged.
In a petition challenging Clyde Toi.
son's will, brother Hillory Tolson ac.
cused John P. Mohr of using fr-$44
and deceit" to exclude Hillary wlson
from the $500,000 estate. Meiir, gener-
ally described as the No. 3 man at the
FBI, retired from liio bureau June 30,
1972, about two months after Hoover
died and Clyde Tolson resigned.
Before June, 1972, and many years
prior to then," I-Iillory Tolson's.peti-
tion states, Tolson suffered physical
and mental debility. Tolson, accord-
ing to the petition, was often incoher-
ent and confused and was unable to
walk without aid.
As a result of Tolson's! weakened
condition, physically and mentally,
Mohr! and those in collaboration with
him prevented others, including !Hill-
ory Tolsonl," the petition said, from
seeing Clyde Tolson!, who became a
virtual recluse."
Hillo'ry Tolson and his two children
are Clyde Tolson's only livinil rela-
tives. The contested will says, To my
brother, Hillory A. Tolson, ant; his
children, James Walter Tolson and
Pamela Tolson Holst, I leave nothing
by this will."
Tolson's holdings$430,000 in cash
and stocks, $70,000 in oil and mineral
leases in the Southwest and Hoover's
house on 30th Place NWare left to 13
beneficiaries and two nonprofit associ-
ations..._._.-a _ . _.__,Much of the estate presumably came
from!-Ioover, who left Tolson almost
all of his holdings, estimated at $551,-
500 when he died on May 2, 1972.
I-Iillory Tolson, a one-time FBI agent
himself, a former official with the Na-
tional Park Service and now the execu-
White House lips- %1g_d.i.:4;ctor of therical Association, referredilf ques-
~- - -_i_4 -WorLamensdorf said he knew of no spe-
cific event or long-standing grievancethat would have caused Clyde Tolson
to disinherit his brother. It's surpris-ing to me that what occurred did oc-
cur," Lamensdorf said. -
Only Mohr is' named in the petititon.
as having exercised undue, duress
and coercion on Clyde T015011. B1-though there is the suggestion in thepetition that other unnamed individu-als participated. Lamensdorf would
not list other names. _There are two Tolson wills that La-
mensdorf knows of, he said, one datedin June, 1972, and the other the follow-jng August, Clyde 'Iolso_n_ died in Aprilof this year. Both si>e¢1f1<==11>' eX¢1"de
Hillory Tolson. _Lamendsdorf said that the Tolsonbrothers had not been close in recentyears. Frankly. he said. "I I111 ?Clyde Tolson was an extremely dedi-cated man to the FBI. He restricted92 himself during and after_hours to theFBI . . . He was a vcry sick_man overthe last three years of his life."Mohr would receive $96,000 in I-he
Tolson will_ He had no comment 011the allegations in the petiuon. but in-dicated that his attorneys would be
responding in court. _ _The other beneficiaries include:o Annie Fields, who was Hoover'shousekeeper for years at 4936 30th Pl.

and Tolson's chauffeur, $32,000. He
drove Hoover and Tolson, who lived
' in _a nearby apartment before Hoover's
death, to work together almost every
day. _o Dorothy Skillman, Tolson's long-
time secretary, who woulo receive$27,000. She was very devoted to Mr.

hemorrhaging in the rinht eye. He had
suffered two strokes, the petition said.

Q .- IUISUil was the man whc=_got_;mga
done, a source said yesterday. He
was the detail man. He had a photo-
graphic memory and was a meticulous
administrator."
But Tolson's health began to fail in
'the late 1960s, and he reportedly sut-
iered a stroke at that time. However,
his speech and mental acuity were
unimpaired, although he was forced
on occasion to remain home, where he
insisted on being kept abreast of
matters. ' _
The only guy he would listen to washis doctor or Hoover himself," a source
sa d.
Tolson's health continued to deter-
iorate and, by the time he retired in
1972 on the date ot lloovers funeral,
he was no longer very active in day-to-
day operations of the bureau, accord-
lng to W. Mark Felt, former acting
associate director of the bureau.
- Cartha D. DeLoach, former assistant
to the director and who left the bureau
in 1970, said yesterday that he had
lunch in New York with both Hoover
and Tolson about a week before
Hoover's death, and that Tolsons
mind was clear. We talked at great
length. ~
Mohr, who had been largely respon-
sible for the administrative functions
of the bureau from supporting
Hoover and Tolson in congressional
budget hearings to making sure a car
was available for the director-report»

are m§y be a legal battle shapingup over the $600,000 estate of the late J. Edgar Hoover, which was willedthree years ago to his longtime friendand law enforcement associate, Clyde
Tolson.Tolson, who died here two monthsago at the age of 74, left an estate ofapproximately $540,520. Presumably.most of that figure represents the
Hoover bequest, minus taxes.Tolson disinherited hos own rela-"tives in a will filed recently in the Su-perior Court of the District of Colum-bia. lnstead, he passed some $200,000
of his legacy alone. to former ser92'ants,jsecretaries and friends of his and
Hoovers. - -
The other $340,000 was to be dividedequally between the Boys Club ofAmerica and the Damon Runyon' Memorial Fund for Cancer Research1.nc., which were Hoover: chosenbeneficiaries if Tolson had preceded
him in death. "
'lolsons brother, Hillory, executivedirector of the White House HistoricalAssociation, said here last week that-
he and his family, who would be Tol-sons legal heirs if the will were bro-
ken, are consulting a law>'9l'- -If the will is not contested, the hen-.
sficiaries are: ._John Mohr, the No. 3 man in the| FBI who resigned for personal rea-sons" after Hoover's de.~.th, wasnamed executor by Clyde Tclson. He
receives $26,000.Mohr's daughter, Mrs. Joseph
Henry Scott Jr., $1,500.Albert Paul Gunsser, who is remem-| bered by FBI colleagues as the agent who always did lloover an-i Tolson s
income tax returns," $27,009-Hoovers housekeeper, Annie Fields,
and his chauffeur, James Crawford,
£lN~CL UR£'a
67 NOT RECORD-i
9and Dr. William Waldrop, $15,000
each.
Tolson's former secretary, Dorothy
Skillman, $27,000. l-lis former assistant
secretary, Lilian Brown, was left $4,-
000. So was Hoover's former secre-
tary, Helen Gandy, who had already
received $5,000 from Hoover himself.
Bequests of $1,000 each were 'a1so
left to Mrs. John Kelly, a friend .0!
Tolson's mother, and a former maid,
Rachel Gill.
No matter who ultimately inherits
the estate. the executor is going to
have another legal problem to resolve.
' Tolson, Hoover's-deputy and closest
companion for 44 years, bequeathed to
"his executor any.and all memorabi-
lia, medals, plaques, photographs, or
any and all other personal property
which can be easily identified with
the late J. Edgar Hoover." ~
I'he purpose of this bequest," the
will states, "shall be to install ...
these items! . . .,in the J. Edgar Hoov-
er Room in the new FBI building."
FBI press spokesman Homer Boyh-
ton said last week that there are cur-
rently no plans for such a r00m. Some
photographs and awards already onI deposit with the FBI will be promi-
nently displayed, along with Hoover's
desk, on the public tour route which
is expected to be open in August, he
added. But no other space has been al-
located. It is unclear what would hap-
pen to the other memoral die-in-the
even at the FBI does not wantit.

Q. Now that Clyde Tolson
is dead, will the nation
ever know the truth about ' _
his relationship with the
late I. Edgar Hoover? Why really did Hoover be-
queath Tolson his $500,000 estate?Ellen Patten,
New York City. -
A. Clyde Tolson, a bachelor like Hoover, was Hoov-
er's most intimate friend. Through most of his 44-
year career in the FBI, Tolson was Hoover's second
in command. He and Hoover socialized, traveled,
and worked together. They were virtually insepara-
ble. After Hoover died on May 2, 1974, Tolson was
importuned to write about and disclose the history
of their relationship. Tolson refused. He did not,
however, refuse to accept as principal beneficiary the
$550,000 estate Hoover left him. Many FBI veterans
regarded Tolson as the single most knowledgeable
tnan conceming the secret life of I. Edgar Hoover.

The April 28, 1975, issue of "Newsweek" magazine ~~
on page 15 under its "Periscope" section, referred to Mr. g ~_ " *
_Tolson's death and claimed that 2 Agents reportedly removed
documents from Hoover's residence where Tolson had been
living. The article, captioned "Hoover's Secrets," carried
the FBI's denial of such action and also stated that a friend
of Tolson's said the only Hoover documents Tolson had were .
old cancelled checks and tax returns. However, the article
added that "Newsweek" had reported earlier that some of Hoover's
private dossiers, including information "very, very damaging"
to persons in the Nixon White House, were left in Tolson's 3
custody. "Newsweek" further claimed that a source advised that '
the materials were carted awa in a truck ';;' "" " ""i
.QLin. 4 w~ ~~<=
Mr. Kelley has asked of Messrs. Callahan, Jenkins@, ? ;Adams and Moore, "Do you have any ideajgnere sudh a~story_go
__$$"'started? Ky." §TQéM' pg pg ;_g__lr
My memorandum to you of 4/17/75 captioned as above
copy attached! pointed out that Tony Marro, "Newsweek" reporter,
contacted my office that date advising he had heard from a ,-.
source to the effect that 2 Agents were sent to Tolson's residence N
the day of his death with a truck and carted away some files .
which were subsequently brought to the home of Mr. John P.-
Mohr, former Assistant to the Director. Upon checking with 4
Mr. Mohr, Marro was advised there was absolutely no truth
to the story. It should be noted that Mr. Mohr also advised- g
at that time that most of the furnishings at Mr. Tolson's
home have been removed over the past several months and that . "
there were some associates of the family and Annie, the housekeeper,
who had stopped by the house on the day of the death with *
some empty boxes to help remove additional furnishings

_ Based upon a request from Mr. Mohr to Mr. Callahan,
-F a Bureau clerk did go to the residence of Mr. Tolson on the day4..
v of his death whereupon he delivered some 24 boxes and 6 rolls

I»? = ~3£_ of tape. The clerk merely delivered the boxes and tape and _
then left the residence. We have no idea what was placed in
the boxes nor how this story started in the first place.

son was the seldom-seen and
nearly anonymous alter-ego.
I-Iis name surfaced in the
press only rarely. and thenfrequently in letters to the
editor in which he defended
either Hoover or the bureau.
He kept at it even after the
death of Hoover and his ovrn
retirenieiit. In 1973, for in-
stance. he wrote The Washing-
ton Post saying there was "not
the slightest truth" to a state-
ment by former FBI Assistant
Director William Sullivan that
Hoover "was not of sound

and alike in many ways, a
close friend of both said
they had strikingly different

"He had more warmth

nt. He was born in. Mi?
souri and grew up in Cedar
Rapids, Iowa. At the age of
18, he accepted a position in
the old 9292'ar Department
where he eventually used
his stenographic skills to be-
come confidential secretary
to Secretary of War Newton
D. Baker.
Mr. Tolson remained to
serve two other secretaries
of 9292ar. but in the meantime
put himself through college
- and law school at night. Ile
neceived both degrees from
George Washington Univer-
slty
It was about that time
that he met Hoover. a native
Washingtonian. and struck"
up what became a lifelong
friendship. In I928four
FBI directorMr. Tolson
-joined the Bureau. and was
assigned to the Boston field
office where his work
tcaught Hoover's attention:
with that carne a transfer to
Washington and a close as-
sociation with Hoover.
Although later a preemi-
nent Washington hureacrat
and Bureau in-fighter who
;retaincd his shorthand
Skills, Mr. Tolson was no
slouch with a gun. In I936
he accompanied lioover
when he personally arrested
Alvin Creepy 1-iarpis, a
murderer and bank robber.
The case made headlines
coast to coast and did much
to enhance the G-Man image
.nf_the.J-BI. ---
. Later thatsarne year, Mr. years after Hoover became
. Tolson shot it out in New
York City with Harry Bru-_'
nette, a gangster and hank
- robber. In addition, MI. Tol-
Ison played what the FBI
later called "a prominent
part in the investigationti ' C1,.
'.,,_,1_pLl92fat capacity; he was num - tuo to one of t e
most powerful men in Wash-
ington--the keeper of the
files. Yet Mr. 'Iolson's asso
eiates found him soft-spoken
and self-cffacing. a man.
they.recall, who never lost
his temper. And for all his
elosenessto Hoover, it was
understpod that Mr. Tolson
could never succeed him. I-le '3-
was too old. _ ~
In I870. Mr. 'Iolson'
reached the mandatory- re
tirement age of 70, in too.
poor health to remain with
the Bureau and get an ea-
eptlion to the retirement
policy; Hoover retired hisfliendlnd then rehlred |
hj_m_ gaying he was needed .
to complete work already
underway. . . -
In the end. Mr. 'Iolson_be-
came Hoover's principal
hcir. receiving the house
stocks. bonds and Hoover:
personal belongings. But ac
cording to John P. llohr,
the now retired assistant to
Hoover. Mr. I'olson received
none of the celebrated per-
sonal files that Hoover re-
portedly kept.
He had no files from the
Bureau." Mohr said. I can't
think of anyone who was
less inclined to have Bureau
files than Mr. 'lolson." _
While his associates de-
scribe Mr. Tolson as a man
dedicated to the FBI, he
somehow found time to
tinker with "inventing. He
sought and received a pat-
cnt. for instance. on a bottle
cap after he cut his finger
on one. in addition. he in-
vented-and had installed---'
electrieally operated win-
dows, one of which was used
by Lyndon Johnson in the
White House and one by Ho. U , I. -~

tor Clarence M. Kelley, said
the death of Mr. Tolson left
a "great void in the law en- _
jorcemcnt field . 2 . .
As the close associate *
' and confidant of former FBII director J. Edgar Hoover, E
"Mr. Tolson devoted his life *
to the service of the .-92meri- ,

law enforcement throughout
