Key mobster found slain
i MIAMI (AP) The body of John Roselli, a key figure with
slain Chicago mobster Sam “Momo" Giancana in a CIA plot to
assassinate Fidel Castro, has been found in a chain-wrapped
.• drum floating in an arm of Biscayne Bay.
', Dade County offocials said Roselli had been asphyxiated.
Dr. Ronald Wright, chief deputy examiner would not say if
Roselli died before or after his body was stuffed into the 55
gallon drum.
Earlier reports had indicated that Roselli, whose body was
found Saturday and identified yesterday, had been shot.
Wright would only confirm that there was "a circular wound
•7m the lower abdomen.”
Wright said Roselli, 70, had probably been dead since July
28, the day he reportedly left his sister’s home in nearby
Broward County to play golf.
He said Roselli’s killers tried hard to keep the disappearance
amystery.'
“These guys went to an incredible amount of trouble trying
to make sure the body was never found,” Wright said. “The
i ' lengths to which they went to insure that the body would not be
found clearly earmarks this as a true gangland style killing.”
Roselli testified last year before the Senate Intelligence
Committee that he and Giancana had been recruited in 1961 by
the CIA as part of a plot to poison Castro, the Cuban
pi earner . -tie said he turned down the offer, for which he and
Giancana were reportedly to have been paid $lOO,OOO. Ac
cording to the Senate report on the scheme, Roselli was the

contact man between Giancana and Cuban dissidents who
were to carry out the murder.
Giancana was also supposed to testify, but he never made it.
On June 19, 1975, several days before his scheduled ap
pearance, someone pumped six .22 caliber bullets into him in
what authorities said was an expertly set up syndicate hit.
That murder has never been solved.
The actual contact man for the Castro operation turned out
to be Robert Maheu one-time top aide to the late in
dustrialist Howard Hughes—who served as a liaison between
the CIA and the mobsters. Maheu, who has partially
acknowledged his role in the affair, had split with Hughes long
before the latter’s death earlier this year.
- Roselli and Giancana were also reported to have been linked
with Judith Campbell Exner, who said last year she had “a
relationship” with the late President John F. Kennedy. The
names of Roselli and Giancana appear in FBI reports released
at Mrs. Exner’s request for help in writing her memoirs.
The reports describe numerous meetings between Roselli
and Mrs. Exner, now the wife of a golf professional in San
Diego. One was in 1962 at a Los Angeles hotel, where Mrs. Ex
ner tinned over $6OO in cash to pay a bill.

Kenya calls for end
to harassment, raids
NAIROBI, Kenya (UPI) Kenya said yesterday the
harassment and killing of its citizens in Uganda must stop if a
recently signed peace agreement is to prove successful, and
Uganda promptly released about 100 Kenyans.
In an independent but unconfirmed story, Nairobi’s Nation
newspaper said Uganda’s supreme policy making body, the
Defense Council, had ordered all businessmen with trade links
with Kenya, Britain and West Germany rounded up. Several
businessmen have been killed and others went into hiding, the
newspaper said
Ugandan President Idi Amin blasted both Israel and Britain
over the July 4 Entebbe Airport raid and said if they tried such
a thing again they would be taught a lesson they would never
forget.
Radio Uganda announced 75 Kenyan residents and 24
gasoline truck drivers and their assistants detained during the
crisis had been released in the first concrete move to im
plement the normalization document announced in Nairobi
Friday and initialled by the two presidents the following day.
Foreign Minister Munyua Waiyaki, said, “To me the suc
cess of the talks will be realized when things are moving on the
ground.”
“This means they (Uganda) will stop arresting, harassing
and killing Kenyans. Success as far as we are concerned is
when the security of our people and nation is guaranteed,”
Waiyaki said.

The seven-woman, five-man
jury in the kidnap, robbery
and assault trial of Sym
bionese Liberation Army
members William and Emily
Harris decided to take the day
off yesterday and resume
deliberations for the ninth
day today.
Patricia Hearst is charged
with the same 11 counts in the
indictment, stemming from a
May, 1974, crime spree, but
her trial has been separated

Brandler had told, the panel
earlier it could take Sundays

weary jurors who worked
eight days straight, notified
the court they would change
plans to take a day of rest.
Hurricane Belle turns northward
MIAMI (AP) Hurricane
Belle, its 100 mile-per-hour
winds increasing in fury,
picked up forward speed and
turned more northward
yesterday, reducing threats
to Georgia and South Carolina
but increasing the possibility
of landfall further up the
Atlantic Seaboard.
Hurricane warnings were
issued for the North Carolina
Outer Banks.
“Belle is already " a
dangerous storm, and it’s in
an area where it could pick up
strength,” said Neil Prank,
director of the National
Hurricane Center in Miami.
“It’s moving faster now
and will probably pick up
even more speed. There’s no
way of knowing exactly
where it might hit along the
eastern coast.
“A small fraction of
movement east or west would
make a big difference. But
there’s only a remote chance
it would turn so much it would
bypass the United States.”

called it a “war of attrition
which side can grind down the
other side?”
v He said it was no longer a
jury deliberating. But chief
prosecutor Samuel Mayerson
said he would not agree to a
mistrial motion nor
assumption of a jury deadlock
after so short a time.
The jury was sequestered in
a downtown hotel until it
returns to court.
A woman who was among
prospective jurors yesterday
identified a photo of a deputy
sheriff she said may have
witnessed a possibly
prejudicial incident during
jury selection.
Corinne Hansen reported to
the judge earlier that during
the selection process another
“A hurricane watch means
people should be ready to
move and move fast if a
warning is given,” Frank
said. “A warning tells people
the storm is headed in that
direction and to get ready.”
Frank said that hurricane
warnings were issued
especially early for the Outer
Banks because some of the
islands are accessible only, by
ferry. But he said forecasters
had plenty of time to better
determine the hurricane’s
movement before issuing any
warnings for the mainland.

misconduct for failing to

Hurricane Belle was ranked
by forecasters as a 3.
“We don’t want to compare
Belle to other No. 3
hurricanes because most
people who go through a
hurricane are only on the
fringes,” Frank said. “They
might say ‘Oh, I went through
a number three and it wasn’t
much.’ But this time they
might wind up in the eye, the
worst part of the storm.”
