There are a few instances, some more well known than others, of people seemingly having foreknowledge of the JFK Assassination – meaning that they knew that President Kennedy would be killed before it happened. As we look at these cases, the big questions are whether the alleged foreknowledge was specific and whether the claims about the person having that information are credible.
One recently declassified document hinted at such foreknowledge. It was a letter from CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton to FBI director, J. Edgar Hoover.[1] This memo says that an anonymous caller to a Cambridge, England newspaper said that the reporter should QUOTE “call the American Embassy in London for some big news.” The caller then hung up. What is notable about this call is that it was 25 minutes before President Kennedy was shot in Dallas.[2] It wasn’t specifically about President Kennedy, though the timing is close enough to make that inference.
In this episode, we look at 6 more instances of reported foreknowledge of the JFK assassination, including Joseph Milteer, Eugene B. Dinkin, David Christensen, William Walter, Rose Cherami, and Richard Case Nagell.
Joseph Milteer
First, there is the infamous tape recording of racist, Joseph Milteer. On November 9th, the leader of the States Rights Party, Joseph Milteer, was secretly recorded by Miami police informant William Somerset talking about how President Kennedy’s assassination was QUOTE “in the works.” And he was specific. Here’s some of the tape:
Somerset: Well, how in the hell do you figure is the best way to get him?
Milteer: From an office building with a high powered rifle.[3]
If you couldn’t understand that, Somerset asked the best way to get him and Milteer responded “From an office building with a high powered rifle.” Much of the tape is hard to understand. So, it’s easier to read the highlights in the transcript:
Somerset: I don’t know how them Secret Service agents cover all of them office buildings everywhere he is going. Do you know whether they do that or not?
Milteer: Well, if they have any suspicion they do that. Of course, but without suspicion, chances are they wouldn’t.
Milteer later said, ”Hell, they’ll pick up somebody within hours after, if anything like that would happen… just to throw the public off.” According to the Secret Service, the unapologetically racist Milteer wasn’t just some talker. He had ties to the people who blew up a black church in Birmingham, Alabama in September of 1963, killing 4 young girls.[4]
The Miami secret service sent a copy of the Milteer tape to Robert Bouck, the head of the Protective Research Section of Secret Service. Bouck asked the Miami field office of the Secret Service to look into it more. This resulted in reports going out to 5 Secret Service field offices. But the report was never sent to the Dallas office, which meant that the threats in the Milteer tape never actually made their way to the people who planned the Dallas motorcade.[5]
Eugene B Dinkin
The next instance of potential foreknowledge of the assassination is from Eugene B. Dinkin. US Army private first class Eugene B. Dinkin was serving in Metz, France, when he went awol on November 4th, 1963. Dinkin had been studying what he called psychological sets, which is basically the macro picture of media. He believed that he could determine messages being sent by studying the consistency and the type of stories being run. Dinkin said that by studying these psychological sets, he was able to determine that QUOTE “a conspiracy was in the making by the military of the United States, perhaps combined with an ultra-right economic group…”[6] Dinkin believed that Kennedy would be assassinated on November 28th, 1963 by QUOTE “a communist or a negro.”[7]
On October 25th, 1963, Dinkin traveled to the US Embassy in Luxembourg. He tried to relay the message to the embassy officials about an impending assassination attempt on Kennedy. But, they refused to meet with him.[8] When Dinkin returned to the Army base in France, he was told that he would undergo a psychological evaluation on November 5th. This led Dinkin to go awol, and head to Geneva, Switzerland to try and get the word out.
On November 6th and 7th, Dinkin appeared in the press room of the United Nations in Geneva and spoke to reporters from all over the world, warning about an impending attempt on President Kennedy’s life.[9]According to Geneva journalist Alex des Fontaines, one of the things Dinkin said to reporters before the assassination was that QUOTE “they were plotting against President Kennedy and that ‘something’ would happen in Texas.”[10]
Dinkin later rejoined his unit in France on November 11th. He was then transferred to Walter Reed Hospital for several months following a diagnosis of schizophrenia, before eventually being discharged from the US Army and let out of the hospital.[11]
Incidentally, Vice President Lyndon Johnson visited Luxembourg on November 4th, 1963, about a week after Dinkin tried to alert the US Embassy there to what he had learned.[12] Some Warren Report critics have argued that Johnson’s travel to Luxembourg was in response to Dinkin’s attempted meeting with the Embassy officials there. But, I have not found any documentary evidence to substantiate that claim.
David Christensen
Eugene Dinkin was not the only serviceman who claimed to know about the assassination of President Kennedy in advance. In October of 1963, David Christensen worked for the Air Force Security Service in Kirknewton, Scotland. His job was to monitor and intercept intelligence communications traffic, which was then sent to his supervisors, and ultimately to the National Security Agency in Fort Meade, Maryland.[13]
Fifteen years after President Kennedy was assassinated, Christensen claimed that he intercepted a communication from Lisbon, Portugal to Tangier, Morocco. He wrote this claim in a letter that he sent to his former colleague in Scotland, Nicholas Stevenson.[14] The letter said QUOTE:
You remember about a month or 6 weeks before I left Scotland, when I picked up a link mentioning the assassination of President Kennedy? How hard I tried to get it sent out. And because of that f***ing Forney and Delaughter, they wouldn’t send it to NSA. Since, I have learned that the man’s name most mentioned was number 4 in a certain branch of organized crime at the time.[15]
The HSCA learned about this letter and asked Nicholas Stevenson about Christensen’s letter. Stevenson said that he did not recall the part that Christensen included about the JFK assassination. But, that everything else that Stevenson said in the letter was accurate. He also confirmed that the communication they picked up from Portugal to Morocoo was one that they were able to hear at Kirknewton.[16] But Stevenson also said that if Christensen did intercept this transmission, he thought it would have been more widely known at the base among his peers.[17]
After receiving a request from the HSCA, the NSA looked through their files and said they had nothing responsive on David Christensen.[18] But, even if Christensen was telling the truth, there would not have been any documents found in the NSA’s search. This is because the type of intercepts that Christensen alleges he heard were not sent to long term storage anyway. Also only 3 boxes of materials were reviewed by the NSA. And, even though the boxes were marked 1963, the oldest document in any of the boxes was from 1962.[19]
Christensen’s story is interesting. And I reserve the possibility that it may be true. But, given that there is no independent corroboration, and that Christensen was an alcoholic[20] at the time, it’s fair to retain some healthy skepticism about his claims, which were 15 years after the fact.
William S Walter
The fourth potential instance of foreknowledge involves New Orleans FBI Night Clerk, William S. Walter. Walter had the duty of handling incoming and outgoing communications during the overnight shift and notifying supervisors if action was necessary. Here’s Walter in front of the HSCA, talking about a communication he received on November 17, 1963 – the Sunday before the assassination:
In that capacity, did you on November 17, 1963 receive communications from the FBI headquarters?
Yes, it was a Sunday. I was the only employee on duty, received a conference teletype originating from Washington and directed as conference to all SACs (all special agents in charge). But this particular teletype as I recall, came in to the New Orleans office, was received at the same time by the Memphis office, Dallas office, Mobile office.
And the teletype was directed to our offices sort of as a movement teletype indicating that President Kennedy was going to be traveling to Dallas and that the information had been received somewhere within the Bureau that there would be possibly an attempt to assassinate him sometime during the trip to Dallas. And it was asking that all field offices that receive this teletype could contact informs to determine whether any information could be developed as to the basis for such a threat being made.[21]
Walter then said that the teletype had gone missing. The HSCA did not believe Walter’s story because there were no teletypes found at any other places where Walter said they were also sent, and they could find no corroborating information of this teletype.[22] Either Walter was making it up, or everyone else at the other FBI offices destroyed the teletypes or forgot about them.
Rose Cherami
Late on the evening of Tuesday, November 19th, 1963, just days before President Kennedy would be assassinated in Dallas, a woman got into an argument with two men at the Silver Slipper Lounge, a roadside bar in Eunice, Louisiana. After the men left her at the bar, the woman, who was later identified as Rose Cherami[23], began to hitchhike down the highway, but was struck by a car not far from the Silver Slipper.[24]After being rushed to the hospital by the man who hit her, Cherami was found to have no major injuries. But, the hospital called Lt. Francis Fruge of the Louisiana State Police, because she was clearly on drugs.[25]
After Fruge brought Cherami to the jail, she freaked out and took all of her clothes off in the cell, which led to Fruge taking Cherami in an ambulance to the East Louisiana State Hospital (the same mental institution in Jackson where Oswald had apparently applied for a job). After being sedated by a doctor, Fruge was able to speak to Cherami, who was going through heroin withdrawals.[26]
During the two hour trip from Eunice to Jackson, which was in the early morning hours of Thursday, November 21, 1963, Fruge says that Cherami told him QUOTE “We’re going to kill President Kennedy in a few days.” She also talked about traveling with two guys, but Fruge did not take her seriously because she was sedated and acting wildly.[27]
On the Monday after the assassination, Fruge returned to visit Cherami to follow up about what she had said. According to Fruge’s HSCA testimony, Cherami told him QUOTE: “She was coming from Miami with two men who were either Cubans or Italians and she was going to Dallas, then Houston. The men were going to kill Kennedy. And she was going to check in to the Rice Hotel, where reservations were already made for her, and pick up 10 kilos of heroin from a seaman coming in to Galveston. [Fruge forgot the Seaman’s name, but said that Customs should have it.] She was to pick up the money for the dope from a man who was holding her baby. She would then take the dope to Mexico.”[28]
After hearing this story, Fruge relayed the information to Colonel Morgan of the State Police, as well as the head of the state police, Colonel Burbank. Burbank told Fruge to look in to Cherami’s story.[29] Then, Fruge contacted Nathan Durham, the chief customs agent in Port Arthur, Texas. Durham called back 30 minutes later and confirmed that there was a ship coming in to Galveston under the name that Cherami said, and it had a seaman matching the name of Cherami’s contact. Customs checked the Rice Hotel and there was a reservation for Cherami, just like she said there would be. And the man who allegedly had the money and Cherami’s baby was checked in to the hotel.[30]
Cheramie, Colonel Morgan, Fruge and a State Police pilot then flew to Houston in an effort to arrest the seaman with the dope. The operation to get the dope was ultimately thwarted when the seaman was able to lose the customs agent who was following him. It isn’t clear what happened to Cherami’s baby, assuming there was a baby. Fruge said he saw baby clothes and shoes in one of the boxes Cherami was carrying with her.[31]
Fruge’s story about Cherami’s foreknowledge is somewhat supported by Dr. Victor Weiss from East Hospital. Dr. Weiss confirmed to Garrison investigators that he had treated Cherami and that she said President Kennedy would be killed in Dallas. He said that she didn’t know about a specific plot, but that QUOTE “word in the underworld was that Kennedy would be assassinated.”[32] AH Magruder, a friend of Dr. Weiss’s who went on a hunting trip with Dr. Weiss in late December 1963, confirmed that Dr. Weiss told him that Cherami said Kennedy would be killed in advance of the assassination. But, Dr. Weiss did not remember in 1967, when speaking with Garrison investigators, whether Cherami made the statement before or after Kennedy was killed – which is kind of the whole point.[33]
In addition to Francis Fruge and Dr. Weiss, the story of Rose Cherami’s foreknowledge of the assassination was confirmed by Louisiana State Police Officer Don White.[34] Dr. Wayne Owen, who at the time was an intern at the hospital, later told the Madison Capital Times that he and other interns were told of the plot to kill Kennedy in advance of the assassination.[35]
Cherami Counterpoints
When asked by the HSCA, US Customs did not deny that Fruge’s story happened. But, the agents were not able to locate any of the documents related to the attempt to thwart the drug deal using Charami’s information. All of the agents who were working at the time no longer worked for Customs.[36]
It’s clear that Francis Fruge’s 1978 testimony to the HSCA is central to whether or not Rose Cherami actually had foreknowledge. Warren Report defenders argue that Fruge’s HSCA testimony should be disregarded because he failed to raise the issue in two documents connected with Jim Garrison’s 1967 investigation.
In a March 13, 1967 memo from investigator Frank Meloche to Garrison, Meloche doesn’t say anything about Fruge’s foreknowledge of the JFK assassination. But, that error could easily be on the part of the memo drafter, since a lot of information was being conveyed, including that Ruby and Oswald knew one another, and that Cheramie had seen them in a club together, and that they were QUOTE “bed partners.”[37] Ultimately, if Fruge heard from Cherami about the assassination in advance, we would expect that information to be included in the memo.
In an April 4, 1967 memo from Fruge to Garrison, Fruge fails to address the point of Cherami’s alleged foreknowledge, but does say QUOTE “Other statements made by subject, relative to your inquiry, are hear-say, but are available, upon your request.”[38] This disclaimer about hear say at the end seems to potentially address Fruge not including Cheramie’s sensational statement. This memo mostly discusses the details of how and when Cherami died. So, we wouldn’t necessarily expect to hear much about other information here.
On the other hand, Fruge did include this tidbit in his 1967 memo to Garrison QUOTE
“Cherami was in custody from November 21, 1963 through November 28, 1963, and that she once worked for JACK RUBY as a stripper, which was verified, and that RUBY and LEE HARVEY OSWOLD [sic] were definitely associated and known to be, as she stated, "bed partners." She further referred to RUBY as alias "PINKEY”.[39]
There are also potential issues with Dr. Weiss’s support of Fruge’s story. As noted above, Dr. Weiss told Jim Garrison’s investigators that he wasn’t sure if the Cherami statement was before or after the assassination.[40]And, probably most damning to Dr. Weiss’s credibility is that he claimed to the HSCA that he first met Cherami on November 25th through Doctor Bowers, who relayed the story about Cherami having assassination foreknowledge. But Dr. Bowers has expressly denied the story and says that he never treated Rose Cherami.[41] Warren Report critic, James DiEugenio, claims that Dr. Weiss was lying about Dr. Bowers telling him about Cherami because Dr. Weiss wanted to stay out of the case.[42]
It's also true that with Cherami’s background and wrap sheet, she was not generally a credible witness. In 1957, she was charged with providing false information to police in the murder of a man named Franklin Doan. In 1960, after being arrested for public intoxication and attacking a police officer, she took off her clothes in the cell and set them on fire, which led to an arson charge.[43] Without a doubt, this lady was not generally reliable and had a lifelong struggle with drugs and alcohol. But everyone knew that already. The fact that her seemingly ridiculous prediction about JFK’s assassination actually happened is the only reason people listened to her.
The Rose Cherami story is a tough one. I can’t think of a reason why Fruge, Officer White, Dr. Weiss, and Dr. Owen would lie. These are professionals, without a known track record of lying. What would these people have to gain from teaming up to lie about Rose Cherami? On the other hand, the stakes are high, and the written record supporting the claims of Fruge and Dr. Weiss are inconsistent at best.
The Hoover/Kauffmann Newspaper Allegation
A December 1963 FBI report may shed light on the Rose Cherami saga. On November 28, 1963, Margaret Kay Kauffmann from Martinsburg, Pennsylvania contacted the FBI about a piece of newspaper found by her mother. It was a ripped out advertisement for a trailer. On the newspaper ad there were handwritten notes. The top middle of the page had the name Lee Oswald. The top right said Rubenstein. In the middle of the page, Jack Ruby was written, with Dallas, Texas written under that. And here’s what ties this back to Cherami: on the top left corner of the page there was the name of a club. According to Kauffmann, it was either the Silver Bell or the Silver Slipper – which is the name of the lounge where Cherami was abandoned by the two men she had been traveling with.[44]
Kaufmann’s mother, Margaret Hoover, also corroborated the story about the newspaper, but she did not recall the name of the club. It turns out that Hoover was renting a house to Dr. Julio Cesar Fernandez, a Cuban refugee, who had been teaching at the local junior high school. Dr. Fernandez would regularly burn trash in the backyard, which was immediately below the apartment where Hoover was living. She found this newspaper trailer ad with the handwriting on it under her porch.[45] Dr. Fernandez’s brother in law, Antonio Ferraz, had been the chief of police under Fulgencio Batista in Cuba, before the Castro revolution.[46]
But, Kauffmann’s husband told the FBI that his wife was influenced by her mother, Margaret Hoover, and was probably just going along with this story to make her mom happy.[47] The biggest argument against Hoover’s claim is that she did not have the physical copy of the newspaper at the time she contacted the FBI. The allegation by Warren Report defenders is that Kauffmann and her mom participated in a hoax and made up this story after Oswald and Ruby were household names. But, there is no possible way that Kauffmann could have known about Rose Cherami and the Silver Slipper at the time they spoke to the FBI. Coincidences are possible. But this would be a big one.
Richard Case Nagell
Richard Case Nagell was either one of the most important witnesses to the backstory of the JFK Assassination, or he was a truly crazy guy who somehow got his hands on some items that are hard to explain. The Mary Ferrell Foundation page dedicated to Nagell, which has links to the related primary documents, does a good job summarizing the basics. It says QUOTE
On September 20, 1963, Richard Case Nagell walked into a bank in El Paso, Texas. He fired two shots into the wall near the ceiling, walked back out to his car, and waited to be arrested. Subsequently, Nagell would claim he was a double (or triple) agent of the U.S. and the KGB, that he knew Lee Harvey Oswald and was monitoring the JFK assassination plot which involved Cuban exiles, and that he had been ordered to kill Oswald to prevent the plot from being carried out. He also maintained that he had sent a registered letter to FBI Director Hoover, warning him of the plot.[48]
Nagell claimed that he shot into the wall at the bank so that he would be arrested and would not have to go through with killing Oswald or being killed because he refused to. Nagell’s story, if he is telling the truth, is extremely rich and complex. What is being covered here is just the tip of the iceberg. And we may revisit Nagell again in Season 3. But, for now, we need to find out if his account of foreknowledge is credible.
There are some reasons to have healthy skepticism of Nagell’s story. He was in two plane crashes where everyone else onboard died, but Nagell survived both of them because of his parachuting skills from the Army.[49] In the second crash in November of 1954, he suffered serious head injuries.[50]
Nagell’s behavior began to be erratic after his head injury. There are several instances where different medical professionals are on the record saying Nagell was mentally ill and should be hospitalized.[51] After his wife filed for divorce in 1958, he claimed that she had shot him in the chest. But the doctor said that the gunshot wound to Nagell’s chest was self-inflicted.[52] A June 1968 CIA document says that Nagell’s mother, brother, ex-wife, and friend all QUOTE “considered him to be mentally disturbed.”[53]
Also, Nagell flat out said in a court filing to appeal his bank robbery conviction, that QUOTE “my whole purpose in entering the bank in El Paso was for the purpose of obtaining psychiatric help and treatment, and not for the purpose of actually robbing the bank.”[54] Of course, Nagell was trying to get out of jail at the time. So, he may have just been saying what he thought he needed to say.
When I was researching Nagell’s story, my immediate thought was to look for the first statement he made that specifically mentioned the JFK Assassination. The lack of any specific statements in the record before November 22, 1963 does not bode well for his credibility. His court-appointed attorney, Fred Morton, said that Nagell never mentioned anything about the assassination to him, and that he didn’t learn about that claim until years later.[55]
However, Nagell was cryptic about his reasons for shooting into the wall at the El Paso bank when he discussed them. Before the assassination, he told a US District Court, QUOTE “I had a motive for doing what I did, but my motive was not to hold up the bank. I do not intend to disclose my motive at this time.”[56]
We just laid out a lot of good reasons to discount Nagell’s story. Basically, he’s crazy and he didn’t make specific warnings about the assassination that we have a record for today. The problem with writing off Nagell is that there is some evidence that he was credible. Specifically, Nagell had the names of active intelligence assets written in his notebook when he was arrested. The director of Security for the CIA wrote to the FBI on April 7, 1964 listing these names and then telling the FBI QUOTE “It would be appreciated if your Bureau would advise this Agency of any information brought to your attention concerning how the above names came into possession of Nagell.”[57]
Additionally, Nagell’s notebook had the same unlisted phone number for the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City that Oswald had in his notebook. Nagell also verified that a CIA agent in Mexico City was undercover, as established by another CIA agent.[58] Perhaps most notably, when Nagell was arrested at the bank, he had a near duplicate of Oswald's Uniformed Services Identification and Privileges Card.[59] But the card Nagell had said Alex. J. Hiddell, with Oswald’s photo. This document is not available in the Warren Commission volumes, but it is in Russell’s book.[60]
When the Assassination Records Review Board was convened, they sent Nagell a letter asking to interview him. The ARRB was informed that Nagell died the day after the letter was sent to him by the ARRB.[61] The coroner said that he died of a heart attack.[62]
According to Dick Russell, Nagell told his niece about a purple trunk that he had with key evidence about the JFK Assassination. After Nagell’s death, his son, Robert, found the address of a Tucson, Arizona storage unit and traveled there to retrieve the contents. Robert arrived to find that the purple trunk was missing. And when Robert returned home to California, his house had been broken into and ransacked.[63] Robert told researcher Richard Booth, via email in late 1997 or early 1998, that immediately after his father died a man and woman who said they were with the State Department came to his house and asked to look in his dad’s study. They said they were investigating North Korean counterfeit notes. [64]
Again, there is much more when it comes to Nagell. I think we have to come to terms with two things being true at the same time. Richard Case Nagell was mentally unstable and not a reliable witness. And Richard Case Nagell wasn’t just some random crazy person. He did tell the truth about some things given what we just discussed. Finding out what things were true and what things were made up is the challenge. I wish I had a definitive answer for that. But I don’t.
NEXT TIME ON SOLVING JFK: We come back to Mexico City for recap and rebuttals, and hear from Dr. John Newman on the subject. After that, we’ll have another recap and rebuttals for episodes 56 through 59 before wrapping up season 2 with a conclusion episode.
