JID.iMINGS, Geral.d P., Jr. HARGRAVES, Roy Doory

,-- ...

L. 23 July 1970

l. At 1530 hours on 22 July 1970 Mr. Joseph GAS~UEZ, Chief/ Intelllge:ice Unit, United Sta.tea Secret Service, Mia.ax1, Room 4o8 · Ainsley Building, 14 NE lst Street, Phone 350-5916, reported the fol1owing information.

2. At about 1530 hours on 2l. July 1970, two white l':lales entered the Miami Secret Service Office and requested to speak to a particular agent 'Who bas now been transferred from the .Mia.mi oft'ice to the San Antonio office. The two individuals were directed to GA&.1UEZ whereupon they identified themselves aa Gerald F. HD-1Mll?GS, Jr., and Roy Emory HAP.GRAV-t.S (Bio sheets o.ttacbed). Both men described themselves as part-time e:oldiers of fortune with previou:; participation in such activities as training Cuban rebels before the Castro take over of Cuba. They also supposedly trained anti-Castro rebels, participated in the Bay of' Pigs Invasion, and engaaed in other related activities (presumed to be

J -·operations).

3. HEMMINGS ope:aed conversation l'ri th GASQ.UEZ by establishing the fa.ct that he bas cooperated with the Miami Secret Service . He considered himself an American :patriot and wished to introduce HARGRAVE, who bad something to report. With this, HE»UNGS remained quiet, without substantive ca:ncent, wh.U.e lLo\RGR.4.VE related the following situation.

h. lL-wGRJ\VE, who has resided in the Miami, Florida, area since liovcmber 1969, met a local Cuban male by the na.'1e of Yvonne Vidal SANTI.AGO (no further biographical data. avail.able) during Christmas of 1969. SfJfflAGO, aver an unspecified period of ti.cc, has supposedly been in contact with o..n- u.'Unown nwnber of Cuba.'1 leaders who reside in the a.reas of' Cuba which are adjo.cent to the Unit'?d States Na.val Do.se at Guantan~o Bay. SANTIAGO has been eble to engage these leaders in Anti-Castro activities th.rough

p..-1.triotic reasons and by assuring the safe ~val of their :families :from Cuba. This ha.s supposedly e.lreacy b een accomplished and their families a:-e now in safe o.reas outside Cuba. ·

5. SJ\IiTI.AGO's objective ia the downfall. of Castro end the present Cuban Government. He pl.ens to accomp.llsh this by training the aforementioned leaders vho will ca.use Cuban I:lissiles located within their areas to be fired into the Guantanamo ?laV3l. Base, thus provoking the United Statea into an e.l.l out war with the Castro Government. If these leaders are unable to ceuse missiles to be fired to· . ...ard the United States Na val Dase, they will cause a co:iventional attack to Cuban Jnilitary forces to be ma.de aaainst the United Sta.tea Base, hopi.!lg to accomplish the same objective. The minimum result of either is expected to be a stronger and more aggressive United States policy age.inst the Ca ctro GoveI'tlllle:it.

6. HARGRAVE further stated that SANTIAGO he.3 solicited his help, for p3,triotic reasons, to join six other local Cube.ns who will be infiltrated into Cuba to train and assist the aforel:l.enttoned leaders . (HARGRAVE classified hiJ:n.sel.f as an expert in w~apous, explosives, and guerrilla tactics.) The sb: other local. Cubans have suyposed.1.y o.lrea.dy been i n i'il.tra.ted in to Cuba ~~1.ce

fo!' this purpose.

7. HARGRAVE is to rei::!B.in in Cuba Wltil. the conf'llct with the United States is undel'"\o.-ay, then he and other members of the infiltration team, plus the aforementioned leaders, vill be removed to the Be.ha.ca Islands by a friendly Cub"-Il Gove~ent patrol boat. An aircraf't will be ws.1 ting in t.he Bahama Isl.D..nds to take these persons to a safe area of their choice. H.~RAVE expl.ai ned to GASQUEZ that he is making the above information kn<T.m because he feels S:'u"VTIAG-0 has gone too f'ar, in that such nn attack. on a United States mill tary be.se will result in the l.03s of ll'fe for many United States service personnel. A:;; an funerican patriot he can c.ccept th.ic; ho;,·rever, P.e still feels if he acca:ipa.nies the infiltrators to Cuba he will be able to d~r ect the Cuban missiles or convention~l attack a.gain:;; t Soviet missile bases in other Cuban areas. Somehow he expects to a.cccmplish the same objective, the downf a.ll. of Castro. :Uthough his logic ~.m.s rep::>rtedl.y never clear, he somehow expects his idcn ti ty as no American to beccxne k!lo\m, and thus, dra·..r the United States into conflict with the Castro Government.

8. HARGRl\VES and HEMMINGS were noticably evasive a.bout details and time frame when questioned by GAS:i,UEZ, who ma.de numerous attempts to explore L10tives regarding the presentation of this infon:lation. Both said they did not ceek money or :favor 1:1 excb.a.nge for the information, but rather were offering the information out of patriotic reasons.

9. ll~RAVES could offer very little o.dditiona1 information. He did indicate that one of his first responsibilities in the . operation, a.s directed by S.tWTIAGO, was to arrange for an aircraft to be standing by in the Bahama Islands to pick up the exfiltrators from Cuba. once the objective was e.c;compliohed. He gave no further details 1n this rege.rd.

10. He al.so st.a ted that he will not know a...'l,y of the other infiltrators until. they meet at the boat to l.eave for Cuba.

11. He mentioned that he is acqll!l..inted ·with a member of a local.. Special Forces Reserve Group l'mere he can train ~til he parts.

12. . HARGRAVES described Jose DUARTE as o. :fo:nner Cuba..'1 associate whom be kr.ew in Los A..'18eles. DUARTE is nm., residing in Miami and knows who is f'unding SANTIAGO's operation. His association with the operation was not made clear by Il.\RGR:WE who centioned in passing that he a.-id IXJARTE had bcmbed o.n SDS office in Los Angeles about one year ago. For this they l>ere arrested and later released on bail.

13 •. ILA.HG RAVES, when specifically questioned by GASC~UEZ, stated this operation \~1:\3 tota.l.ly different f'rom any operation lca.d by TORRENTIES or the Alpha 66 Group. He, ho·:."ever, inferred that many of their cembers mEJ.y join SANTI.o.GO O!'lce S.l)JJTIAGQ 1 s operation reaches final st~ng.

ll~. When further pressed by GAS.1,UEZ, J!J\RGR.WES used GAS~USZ • s office phone to supposedly place a call to S:\NTIAGO. During this conversation, S.<\NTI!..CO reportedly told him the?y wou.ld meet that nieht for f'ina.l pl.ans . (GAS~::,UEZ was W13.ble to d~termlne the rruI:lber ditlcd> the id.c?ntity of the :i;nrty called, or their conversation).

15. G:\SJJJEZ termed the incident a.s unbelieva!)le but ridiculous enough to maybe be true. IIARGRAVZ:S refuoed to be specific as to when he rrl.ght leave for Cuba but 1.ni'eITed that it wou.l.d be very soon. He said be wc:-uld phone GAS ),UEZ when he is advised of his depa._.-ture date •

On April 16, 1954, Acker entered a guilty plea and paid a fine of $2.00, plus $2 . 00 costs .

The records of the Merchants Credit Association, Birmingham, were made available on January 18, 1967, by Mrs. Jessie Williams concerning William Blanton Acker, white male, whose birth date is listed with that agency as April 17, 1921, in Jefferson County, Alabama . These records show that Acker and his wife, Henrietta , were buying a residence at 522 Charleston Drive, Bessemer, in 1953 and 1954, and in about 1954 moved to Huntsville, Alabama.

ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT .. JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY NOVEMBER 22, 1963, DALLAS{ TEXAS

·" I I • I \L Ii .

On January l0/ _. 1967, William Blanto~ker, _302 W. Magnolia, Auburn, Alabama, student , Auburn University, advised he had just finished reading article regarding assassination of President Kennedy in January 14 issue of Saturday Evening Post and wished to furnish the foll owing information.

In 1963 he was in Miami, Florida, employed at the Royal Castle, Number two, Flagler and Second, and met one Art Silva. Silva at that time was living with one Phyll i s (Last Name Unknown) at a small hotel across the street from Royal Castle Number Two. They later moved to an apartment in a court near LaJune Road and Eighth Street which was behind a fruit stand. One of the r neighbors in the court (consisting of about ten units) was on oy (Last Name Unknown) who was living with some woman,

I name nrecalled, in the court next door to Art. Roy, according to Art, had several telescopic sight rifles, grenades , mortars, dynamite, etc., in his room. Also Roy had made a trip to Dallas, Texas, in late 1963 and was reported by Art to have Secret Service credentials. Roy was also associated with various Cuban resistance movements and was an ex-Marine. Acker notes that instant article he read says a policeman stopped a man in Dallas who showed Secret Service credentials. Acker says at a Christmas party in 1963 he was arguing with Roy and almost came to blows as Roy blamed former President Kennedy personally fo r the death of one of his close friends who was in the invasion at the Bay of Pigs.

Acker says that late in 1963 he met Art in an open air sandwich shop in Miami to have a beer and Art talked of his next door neighbor Roy and said Roy was working with the Cubans and would help Acker get in with the Movement if he wanted to help out in winning Cuba back from Castro. Art also said, 11 Somebody is going to die. Somebody who hasn 1 t hurt anybody. He doesn 1 t know it but he is going to d.ie. 11

Acker says he asked Art , 11 Who? 11 and Art said he couldn 1 t say. Art also said 11 Roy is in something big, the biggest thing this country has very seen. 11 Acker says that he thought Art was talking about a robbery or something of that nature as he suspected Art as being mixed up with various underworld -characters . At this time, Acker believes it was the assassination of President Kennedy after reading the article in the Post of January 14.

RE: Hemming and Hargraves. Hemming's testimony re: reports to CIA probably not exagger ated. Hargraves testified he went on CIA mission to Cuba 10/22/62 and trained CIA men in Felipe Vidal's org. This agency had no relationship with Vidal after August 1961. Nor is there record CIA ever utilized by agency. Vidal captured and executed in spring 1964. It may be that Hargraves thought op sponsored by agency.
