ee eee an i em -3e Mr. Oseas also sugested that, 1f possible, Agent Dilillo pay tribute on two or three occasions, a3 demanded, and suggested that corroboration, if possible, be obtained in all instances where Agent DiLilio is approached by any person or persons engaged in interfering with the sale of juice grapes at the North Western terminal, at this tine it is the intention of the writer to have Agents DiLillo and Palmera (the latter, it being advised, will report to this office for assignment on October 16, 1930) go into the juice grape business on @ partnerssip besis in an effort to obtain the corroboration desired by Mr. Oseas. The substance of the foregoing information was related to ir. Vincent Hughes by lo.g distance telephone on the afternoon of October 17, 1030, and as yer instructions received at that time, this office will mgzested that Mr. Irrgang draw a check in the amount necessary for the purchase of a carload of juice grapes, which will in turn be converted by this office into a cashier's cheek and used at the time the carload of juice grapes is purchased. Mr. Irrgang's check will be drewn in a sufficiently large amount to include the fee whici: may de cherged by the person purchasing the juice grapes for Agent Dilillo, and also to cover the $50 tribute, which it ie thought may de requested. Bota of the latter transactions, of course, will have to be paid in cash, and this cash will be obtained as change at the time the ceshier's check above mentioned is tendered in payment for the carload of juice grapes. Inasmuch as Mr. Oseas desires that Agent DiLillo pay tribute, if possible, on two or three occasions, tue foregoing procedure will be repeated as often as is necessary. It is also kr. Oseas' idea to pass marked money at the time the last tribute is exacted and irmedietely thereafter have the person or persons execting such tribute taken into custody. Nothing definite, of course, can be decided upon this phase of the case at the present time, as it is not known what circumstances will arise in the course of the investigation. However, you may rest assured that the Bureau will in no nay be embarrassed by the action taken by the Agents assigned to this matter. Agents DiLillo and Palmera will be duly impressed with the fect that they are to do nothing which may form the basis for es defense of entrapment at a subsequent date.
