Reference is made to your memorandum to the'Attorney Genera]
dated June ll, 1970, regarding this matter.
I appreciate your furnishing me with a copy of your
memorandum since it gives me an opportunity to clarify our
position concerning this case. As you noted, Mr. Morris
visited your field office in Cleveland, Ohio on June 4 and 5,
1970. I had sent Mr. Morris to Cleveland, after conferring
with your representatives here, in order to ascertain, on the
scene, what further investigation was necessary to enable us
to proceed speedily with a prosecution under the sabotage
statutes. To this end, Mr. Morris was, at my request, appointed
as a Special Attorney of the Department by the Deputy Attorney
General with authority to present evidence to a grand jury of
a violation of the sabotage statutes, if the facts warranted
such action at that time. After reviewing all of the facts
which had been developed by your field office, he cpncluded
that the evidence was insufficient to warrant presentation
ofmthisHmatteEt6 amgrand'§ury.mre'determined, however, that
additional investigation by_your.BuE§auTmight develo§ such
evidence and suggested to your Agents a number of certain
specific leads for investigation. These leads are now being
ursued by your Cleveland_office-. . /'= y,~ ifuhui§§ 5H?l- /ié//y 1/ '7!_EX-rm re -""* "T ' " -. - +92In JUN 1s197o1c C" CV °"a°

i, Mr. Morris has advised me that he did not intend to copvey ito your representatives the impression that sabotage charge?
could not be brought against those individuals who were involved
j in the cutting of fire hoses and otherwise interfering with
1, firemen who attempted to put out the blaze at the ROTC building
I at Kent State University on May 2, 1970, but only that Section
92 231 of Title 18, U.S.C., might, in the final analysis, be a
more appropriate prosecutive vehicle to proceed against those
ll persons. He did not, however, rule out the possibility of
ii proceeding against any individual under the sabotage statutes
92 where such a prosecution would be justified by the evidence
W which might be available.

dated June 15, 1970.
In accordance with a request from the Department of
Justice, as contained in referenced'memorandum, Special Agents
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation contacted Ronald J.
Kane, Prosecutor, Portage County, Ravenna, Ohio, on Juen 18,
1970.
Mr. Kane advised at this time that thusfur he has
not received any reports containing investigation conducted
by the Ohio State Highway Patrol OSHP!, or other authorized
local law enforcement agencies, in connection with the
disruptions on the Kent State University KSU! campus, Kent,
Ohio, during the period between May 2 and hay H, l9?O. He
indicated that he believed that these reports would possibly
be forthcoming within the next two weeks, He stated that the
scope of the local law enforcement investigation will include
all aspects in connection with the burning of the Army ROTC
building at KSU on May 2, 1970, but that, as indicated above,
he has not received the results of this investigation.

. .iS5§QTAGE5_ETiAIi l is
Due to the absence of any investigative reports to
refer to, Mr. Kane indicated that he cannot at this time state
exactly when he will impanel a grand jury, or what tools he
will have at his disposal when he takes this matter before a
grand jury. He added that he has not been able to initiate
any prosecutions in this matter to date inasmuch as the
investigation has not been competed. '
He pointed out, however, that he is extremely
interested in initiating as many local prosecutions as possible,
and cited his record of having convicted approximately 00
individuals as a_result of disruptions on the KSU campus
during April, 1969. 92
Mr. Kane stated that he also desired that the FBI
furnish him with copies of FBI reports in order to supplement
local investigation and allow him to successfully prosecute
as many persons as possible.
Mr. Kane advised that he was recently contacted by
Robert Murphy, Departmental Attorney. As a result of this
contact, he said he has anappointmcnt on June 25, 1970 in
Ravenna, Ohio with Mr. Murphy and Jerris Leonard, Assistant
Attorney General in Charge of the Civil Rights Division,
Department of Justice.
Mr. Kane indicated that the purpose of his scheduled
meeting with Mr. Murphy and Mr. Leonard is to discuss action
Kane plans to take, and for him to learn the plans of the
Department of Justice in regard to this matter. In all
probability, Mr. Kane will make requests at that time for copies
of FBI reports to be disseminated to him.
During this interview with Mr. Kane, Special Agents
made it clear to him that the FBI has no authority whatsoever
to release its reports, or any information contained therein
to his office.

they plan to bomb classroom buildings and dormitories at KSU.

DESTRUCTION OF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY
The purpose oi this memorandum is to advise as to
the status of local prosecutive plans concerning the burning
of the Kent State University Reserve Officers Training Corps
ROTC! building on 5/2/70.
The Criminal Division of the Department by letter
6/15/70 requested it be determined what prosecutive action has
been taken locally in connection with this situation and what
action is contemplated. Carl Belcher, Attorney, Criminal
Division, on 6/18/70 telephonically advised that in explanation
of this request he did not mean to indicate any reluctance with
regard to prosecution in this case. He stated that since no
action has been initiated by local authorities in over 45 days,
he made this request to support his position that Federal
prosecution may be warranted as to violations under his super-
vision, such as Destruction of Government Property and Antiriot
Law violations. In connection with this request, the Portage
County Prosecutor, Ronald J. Kane, on 6/18/70 advised he had not
received any investigative report on which he could have or will
initiate prosecution. He stated that when such is received he
desires to present violations to the Portage County Grand Jury
he had requested FBI Headquarters to furnish him reports in
this case; there is no record of such a request by Kane, and
he was advised as to the confidential nature of these reports.hopefully by about the middle of July, 1970. Kane also claimed
ment on 6/25/70 in Ohio with Jerris Leonard, Assistant Attorney
General, Civil Rights Division, when they will discuss localiand Federal prosecutive plans. .._ - ---- »35351 , -__'" _Enclosure 4LQ"'¢C-L 4 O 1 L hi-92L'92I92:J 4. JUI1 " =_.=".rJ- -~-He stated that he understood and added that he has an appoint-

Fresh glass particles suitable for comparison

Extremely thin red and tannish-gray paint smears
were found on Q16. These smears are of very limited value
for comparison purposes because of the limited amount of paint
composing them and because of contamination.

fire was very smell and just a small amount of smoke.
n I arrived at the scene or the fro I
observed two motorcycles perked on the Commons area of
the KSU campus, approximately 50 feet from the ROTC
Building. I was involved in attempting to put out the fire
in the ROTC building.I observed three individuals approach
the two motorcycles and gather around one of the
motorcycles, and I saw the gas tank lid of one o the
motorcycles thrown out into the Commons, I dont know which
of the three people who approached the motorcycle threw
the gas cop out onto the Commons. I observed one of the
three people around the motorcycle dunk a rag into the gas'
tank, and all three ran over to a window of the ROTC
building northeast window! and laid the rag on the window
sill of the window and one of the three lit the rag and

I
one of the three threw the rag into the building,
fire ins5 Tthe building 'tO0k Off.
After I observed this I started toward
window and was qoing to extinguish the fire. The
three that lit the rag came at me, one had a club
hit me on the helmet and the other two knocked me
ground by jumping on my hack, the person with thei _4'q|t;
!
the
same
and he
to the
club hit
me again, while I was down. The same three people took the
fire hose away from me. After awhile nqself and the
other firemen left the scene of the buning ROTC building.
About thrceteeks after the ROTC fire I was in
Seavers Cafe, on North Water St., Kent, Ohio eating lunch.
I observed a person in this cafe that I believe he is one
of the three people I saw throw the gasoline soaked rag
into the KSU ROTC building as I described above. I was
unable to determine the name of the person in 'Seaver's
at that time I saw him. About one week after I saw the
man in Seaver's I went to the Kent, Ohio Police Dost. and
they showed me pictures of a man named Jerry Rupe. This
man Jerry Rupe is the same man I saw in Seavcr's.
IIToday I have viewed 22 photographs displayed to
me by the interviewing agents. Photograph described on
I back as Jerry Rupe, nos 7/23/48, 5'11" iso lbs
brown hair and blue eyes is a photogmph of the person,
I believe, was responsible for throwing U10 gas soaked
rag into the ROTC building. I believe this is the same
person that was involved in the ROTC burning as I described
above, however, I cannot say for sure unless I am able
to see Jerry Rupe in person. _
"I have gpigigled the back of all 22 pitchers.
I have read the above statement consisting of this page and
two other pages. I have
and the two other pages I
