DETAILS:'92
Captioned matter relates to Sabotage investigation of
destruction of Reserve Officers Training Corps ROTC! Building §
at KSU, Kent, Ohio, 5/2/70. As a result of this Bureau's d
investigation, nine individuals were identified as having is
reportedly engaged in acts in violation of several Federal ]:
statutes. '
Concurrent with the above, this Bureau also conducted -'
an extensive investigation of the incident involving the killing.
of four students at KSU, 5/4/70, by members of the Ohio National
Guard.
The Department of Justice did not authorize Federal
prosecution in either<eabove matters, but deferred action
pending prosecutive action by local or State authorities. The '
Department made available to local authorities results of
investigation conducted by the FBI.
As a result.o£ local grand jury action, 25 individuals
were indicted 10/16/70, for their participation in activities
occurring on the KSU campus 5/1-4/70. Five of these individuals
are subjects of the above ROTC Sabotage investigation. We have

been following local action in this matter in the event local
prosecution was dismissed, consideration would then be given
to representing facts to the Department for an opinion regarding
Federal prosecution.
Available information indicates that State officials
intend to try each of the 25 defendants separately. Trial
against the first defendant began ll/22/71. A crowd of
approximately 25 individuals, some affiliated with the SDS,
gathered outside the courthouse to protest the trial. No
incidents or arrests occurred. It is expected protest activity
will occur on a daily basis; however, no information has been
received indicating acts of violence are planned.
In view of our interest in current local proceedings
as stated above, there is attached an airtel to the Cleveland
Office instructing that these proceedings be followed through
sources and a weekly summary airtel be furnished the Bureau
commencing 11/29/71. Information having a bearing upon operation
oi the FBI or that which is determined to be of national import,
should, however, be furnished the Bureau by the most expeditious
means deemed necessary.
REconna§0Ar1_o§ :
That the attached airtel be approved and sent.

Also on 11/30/71, charges were dismissed against
the second defendant, PETER CHARLES BLIEK, by the Judge,
when a witness for the State of Ohio failed to positively
identify BLIEK, and a special state prosecutor requested that
the charge be dropped. BLIEK had been charged with burning
an uninhabited building and first degree riot.
On 12/1/11, LARRY suns, the third defendant, entered
a plea of guilty to first degree riot. SHUB had also been
charged with attempted arson and second degree riot. State
prosecutors indicate that the latter charges will probably
be dismissed.
The next trials are scheduled to begin on 12/6/71;
they will involve MARY HELEN NlQHOLASi who is charged with
interfering with a"fireman, and RICHARD C. FELBER, who is
charged with first degree riot, attempted arson, assault and
striking a fireman. The trial of DOUGLAS CORMACK was also
scheduled for next week. However, CORMACK's attorney, DAVID
SCRIBNER, filed an affidavit of prejudice charging that
Judge ALBERT CARIS would not be able to provide a fair trial.
A decision on whether Judge CARIS can hear the case will be
decided by the Ohio Supreme Court.
During the week of 11/29/71 through 12/3/71,
no attempts were made by dissident groups to disrupt the
court proceedings.

Kent State University KSU!, local Judges signed orders dismissing
charges against remaining 20 defendants.
Captioned matter relates to this Bureau's investigation
of destruction of ROTC Building, KSU, Kent, Ohio, 5/2/70.
Concurrently, this Bureau also conducted investigation of incident
involving killing of four KSU students 5/Q/70 by members of Ohio
National Guard. Department did not authorize prosecution in either
of above matters, but deferred in favor of local prosecution.
" As a result of local grand jury action, 25 individua1s_
were indicted for their participation in activities occurring on
KSU campus 5/1-4/70. Each subject was to be given a separate
trial, first trial beginning ll/22/71. Since that date, five
individuals were tried. Jerry Rupe was found guilty on a charge of
interfering with firemen and received a sixmonth sentence to run
concurrently with a previous sentence on a narcotics charge.
Larry Shub and Thomas Foglesong pleaded guilty to first degree
riot. Charges against Mary Nicholas and Peter Bleik were dismissed
during their trials.
On 12/7/71, Special State Prosecutor, State of Ohio,
admitting he lacked sufficient evidence to proceed, requested
court permission to dismiss all charges against the remaining 20
defendants that had been indicted by local grand jury. On
12/23/71, two Common Pleas Judges, Portage County, Ravenna, Ohio,signed orderscismissing the charges against the remaining 20defendants. }jcs]J _.---~.. _ __ v Q _ _./I, I _ ,-,8 ' _ '7 : I".

His unit and he were at that place through Hay 5 or 6,

At about 11:00 A.M., Monday, May 4, 1970, he was
placed in charge of a security element of some eleven to
thirteen troops, guarding some ORG vehicles containing
- radio equipment, which were parked near the previously
burned Reserve Officers Training Corps ROTC! building
on the KSU campus. His troops were in a semi-circular
formation, about twenty yards from the ROTC building,
facing the hill on which the college's Taylor Hall was
located. At about 12:00 noon, or shortly thereafter,
about sixty other ONG troops formed near his location

who he believes were students, run down from the crest of
the hill towards his position. He is unable to further _
describe these persons, but he could see that they are
shouting something. As they reached a point about ten '
to twenty meters from his position, he was able to under-
stand that they were shouting, "Stop him, he shot somebody
or possibl9;"he killed somebody", or words to that effect.
He was standing on the left end of his line of
troops. He then looked to his right, where he saw an
individual, whom he recalls as being a white male, early
twenties, about 5'8" tall, 160 to 170 pounds, blond hair,
not long, wearing slacks and a jacket. colors unrecalled,
and a white shirt, talking to one of his troops. As he
moved in that direction, he observed that this individual
had displayed something to the trooper, which he was later
told was a press credential. This individual was then
allowed through the OG lines.
He-ontinued that he had walked towards this
individua w o had been allowed through the line, however,
before he reached him, he observed this individual being
stopped by two persons who he assumed were KSU Security
Police, as well as some two or three ONG officers. The
individuals who he assumed to he Security Police were
dressed in shirt sleeves, ties and trousers. He noted
that he could not further describe these two persons and
doubts if he would recognize them if he were to see them

this person flip the cylinder open on the weapon, which
he thinks opened to the right. As the cylinder was opened,
the individual stepped to the side, and said, "There are
two spent cartridges", or words to that effect. He noted
that he did not see the cartridges himself. as he was not
close enough to the individual to make out details regard-
ing the weapon. . . _ -
The two plainclothesmen then led the individual
who had produced the gun a~ray,- and he has never seen any of
these persons again. _
Q added that he recalls the gun as being a snub-
nosed revo ver, which was nickel or chrome plated. He noted
that he owns a snub-nose -.38 caliber Colt revolver, and this
weapon appeared to be about the same size as his.
He noted that the next day, he saw an article which
had appeared in the Akron, Ohio "Beacon-Journal" newspaper,
which indicated that the person who had the revolver was
named TERRY NORMAN. He noted that he does not know this
individual personally, although he has seen several news-
paper articles in which NORMAN was mentioned with regards to 1-.
the events at KSU on May 4, 1970.

during the above events, as he has discussed this matter
with them, and they have requested that he not do so in

ONG who were present at KSU in May. 1970, were named in
various lawsuits which have been filed in regard to this
matter. He noted that inasmuch as he has promised these
persons that he would not involve them, he does not desire

On October 21, 19 74, Visual Information Specialist Horace J.
Heafner proceeded to Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Heafner was to testify concerning
exhibits previously prepared by him. Heafner conferred with Departmental
Attorney Robert Murphy re testimony in captioned case. Mr. Murphy
requested that additional measurements be made on the campus of Kent State
University and that these measurements locate distance shown in photograph
taken by students on May 4, 1970. In addition, he requested that measure-
ments be made of trees located in the vicinity of Taylor Hall and that these
locations be plotted on diagrams for use in trial of captioned case concerning
which Mr. Heafner would testify. '
Since jury selection had not been made,_ Mr. Murphy requested
that Heafner return to Washington, D. C. , on "10/23/74 and return to
Cleveland on 10/30/'74 for testimony. '
I-Ieafner returned to Cleveland, Ohio, 10/ 30/ 74 and testified in
U. S. District Court on 10/31/74. The 5-man defense counsel attempted to
prevent admission of the exhibits into evidence by attacking Mr. Heafner's
qualifications. However, 23 years of experience in addition to his art training
was sufficient for the Judge, and the exhibits were admitted. _,

P 11/s/74GENERAL INVESTIGMVE DIVISION
The trial of the eight Ohio National
Guardsmen who were on duty at Kent State
University KSU!, on 5/4/70, is currently
underway at Cleveland, Ohio, in U. S. District
Court. Defendants have been charged with
violating the civil rights of four students who
were killed and others who were wounded.
The attached advises that Civil Rights
Division CRD! Attorney Robert A. Murphy has
requested our Cleveland Office furnish a
12 gauge shotgun from the Cleveland Office
inventory for the purpose of displaying same
in Federal Court. Two subjects are charged with
firing 12 gauge shotguns at the time of the
confrontation and two of the wounded students
were hit with shotgun fire.
SAC Cleveland has observed that introduction
of a Bureau shotgun could carry a stigma or _
adverse inference with those in attendance
at the trial and recommends against it.
The General Investigative Division concurs
with the SAC, Cleveland, and Cleveland is
being instructed to suggest to Departmental
Attorney Murphy that he use a suitable photograph
or obtain a shotgun on loan or rental from a
local gun dealer for his purpose.. - '=},;%/

of 4 students and wounding of others at Kent State University,
Ohio, on 5/4/70.
Reference is made to my memorandum dated 10/17/74
and addendum of Legal Counsel Division, 10/21/74.
The purpose of this memorandum is to recommend
that no additional affidavits be obtained from Bureau
Agents concerning certain allegations made by 2 defendants
in this case regarding the manner in which they were advised of
their rights by these Agents.
Affidavits were previously requested and received
from these Bureau Agents and the Legal Counsel Division reviewe
these affidavits and advised that while the affidavitssuffice for administrative, intraBureau purposes, they are
not in form usable by the U. S. Attorney. The Legal
Counsel Division also advised that
not appear to be any necessity for
refinement and possible changes in
to be submitted for the use of the
Since this review by theat present, there does
further action beyond the
emphasis of the actual affid
U. S. Attorney.
Legal Counsel Division, theBureau Agents had the opportunity to refute under oath these Q
allegations in judicial proceedings before Chief U. S. Distric
Judge Frank J. Battisti, Cleveland, and the Judge subsequently
Bureau Agents, admissible. Subsequently, on ll/8/74, Chiefq held these statements from the defendants furnished to the F

92;é!_11d This is the matter in which we conducted 67 at
MEextensive investigation resulting in 8 members of the
Ohio National Guard ONG! being indicted by a Federal
Grand Jury for violating the Civil Rights of 4 Kent
State University students who were shot and killed by the
ONG on 5/4/70. Trial is scheduled for 10/21/74 in U. S.
District Court, Cleveland, Ohio, and a hearing on defendants
motions to suppress their statements began on 10/15/74.
In connection with the suppression hearing,
SAC Fehl of our Cleveland Office received a subpoena on
10/ll/74 to produce the FBI Agent's Handbook and any =~ _l
other manuals or instructions setting forth the 929292'
procedure by which the Bureau takes statements from _
witnesses or potential accusees. Assistant Director '
John Mintz, Legal Counsel, has been in contact with
Attorney John Hoyle of the Civil Rights Division and Hoyle
concurred with Mr. Mintz's suggestion that a motion to quash
be prepared on the grounds that the documents requested ,,
were not material to the defense. Our Cleveland Office
has advised that as of close of business 10/16/74, the/c urt
had not heard the matter concerning the subpoena of S C Febut instead had gone directly into testimony of the ,whlSpecial Agents who had previouslyinterviewed the various _defendants. ch ¬/ ,'-Rf? 'm$#V" -~-1
Three of the defendants McManus, Perkins and
Shafer! have filed motions to suppress their signed
statements furnished to our Agents. Perkins and Shafer do no
deny they were advised of their constitutional rights,
but both claim when they asked the Agents if they needed
an attorney, they were allegedly told that there
was no need for an attorney, and that "whatever was said
would go no further" and that the Agents "were just trying to
please some people with the investigation and get it over
with." The Agents who interviewed Perkins and Shafer
have submitted affidavits denying the allegations; McManus
made no allegations against the FBI. '

Local Feunsel Division has reviewed the alleqations
ma? an the affiavits suhwitte in this matter."Whi1e the
afiavits suffice for administrative, intraBureau purposes,
the" are not in fore usable hr thn Hnitee States 92 rney. It
is note? that the larquace of Fnecial Aqent P 'davit
is nvch wore tentative than that of Secial =; n but
that tot use the forw of statine that they R0 not eca
certain rather innortant things they are alleqed to have sai
or Tvftihs saif. If they actually F0 not recall these thinqs,
that is proper: however, if the usage of the term is stylistic
an the special qents actually tnow that something was said
or not sai¬, the statowents shonl he ecla ' e of thosefacts. It is notorl that Special qent afFidavit is
Puch better in terns of fern, language . su>s ance than the
other thrne an that he is able to wake positive statements
on the points raised even thonqh over four years have elapsed.
The resolution of this matter is an issue of fact to be ecie
in the criminal case and Hopefully will absolve the Special
Rnents concernc. it present, there does not appear to be any
Pstcsity for further action beyond the refinement and possible
chances in rnnhasis of the actual affidavits to be submitted
for the use of the Vhitbd States Pttorney. , H
