AUSA TAYLOR also stated that be hoped to be able to use &#39;1a transcript of the testimony of the LI�iZO case in connection withthe revocation hearing for COLLIE LEROY IILKINS. AUSA TAYLOR statedthe possibility existed that this transcript might not be acceptedand, therefore, in order to revoke the probation of COLLIE LEROYWILKINS it might be necessary that the testimony of GARY THOMAS ROIEbe offered in person at this hearing. It was pointed out to AUSATAYLOR that unless absolutely mandatory the presence of ROWE in thecity of Birmingham could create unusual security problems insofaras insuring the safety of the informant. AUSA TAYLOR stated herecognized this and preferred not having to use the informant itat all possible. He did, however, indicate he wanted to point this _possibility out to the Bureau in the event the revocation hearing _&#39;is scheduled in the near future. _ _

h��h TEYLGR stated that each though the Department might be Iwilling to proceed on an immediate basis insofar as the Probationhearing, he wished to point out the possibility that it could havesome bearing on the scheduled arraignment in Hontgomery. AUSA TAYLORalso stated that regardless of the Department&#39;s wishes the ultimate Idecision as to whether or not to proceed against COLLIE LEROY WILKINSrested with the Federal Judge. TAYLOR also stated the maximum Isentence which could be hoped for was only 1 year and 1 day. He was;of the opinion that it uauld be advantageous, if at all possible, Ito revoke the probation of COLLIE LEROY EILKIHS and have his serve Iat least the 1 year and 1 day sentence. AUSA TAYLOR stated that his§primary purpose in making the telephone call was to insure that the IFBI knew of the plans and contemplated action that night be takenagainst COLLIE LEROY IILKINS. . . . ; -

Mobile advised that AAG Doar and Department Attorney Turneron ll/23/65 stated that on the morning of ll/29/65 when they ,

¢ received the Jury list that*they will want an immediate dheck- made oi Jury members on the list. Iobile said Doar indicated

a mere_indices check would not suffice and that there would onlybe approximately 3 hour&#39;s time within which to conduct the checksbefore the Jury will be selected for the list. This matter wasdiscussed with Mr. Doar in Washington, D. C., on ll/24/65.Mr, Boar stated that he had not wished to indicatesthat he deisred

� any actual investigation into the background oi the members of the+ Jury list and that a check of our tisld office indices, a credit5;; and criminal check and a check with confidential sources and

3 a» informants who could possibly be in a position to be acquainted�:� with any Jury members would-be sufficient. This does not -. constitute a Jury panel igxs�ii�iii�n and we conducted a similar

&#39;_._ check of the state Jury panels in the twqétate trials o£"�.* Collie Leroy Iilkins. _- _ -
