VPOLEY = 39 on pirole, It ia not clear what, if anything, would restrain the 5S from une principled or illegal actions, Emmitt Hurnt is their lender and, an Guthrie unwittingly said, their specialty is informers, The SS had "the main man" and one can only guess how they celebrated, what was said at the stratery conference, or who attended. It in possible that Fredericks and the local unit were operating entirely on their own initia- tive. They certainly did not need to have such opportunities pointed out to them. The specific information forced from Popeye in order to compromise him ~ might have been the location and time of two secret meetings that the police rneided shortly after Popeye hegan his 60 day sentence; it may have been some- thing else. It seems reasonable to conclude that Popeye, given the kind of person he was, would have given the SS as little information as he could have gotten away with, He may have tried to deceive them, and give them nothing of value at all, but they were certainly smarter than that. They probably kept the pressure on until he came up with something satisfactory. Even the £S were probably not sure exactly how Popeye could be used in the future, Had he lived, the de- cision would likely have been made at a very high level in police intelli- gence circles. There must have been a lot of long faces in those circles and at SS headquarters when he was killed; preat opportunities forever lost, The peoples’ court concluded that Popeye had been killed hy an old enemy, not by police or revolutionaries, I'ven the police would not have killed Sally Voye; it was co unnecessary and not their way of doing things ot all. ‘They have too many time tented ways of killing people and do not usually kill Revolutionaries who knew Popeye had heen compromised would their people. oa % ET ts" eros i.
