Irish Republican Army Part 1 of 7 61-7606 Sect 1-5.pdf

This file only
61-7606 is the FBI’s old main file on the Irish Republican Army. 61 is the classification (treason / internal security in that era). 7606 is the case number. When the paper got too thick they bound it into sections. Joshua Smith’s 2015 release is seven PDFs covering sections 1–32, from 1939 into the early 1990s. A serial is one document inside a section (a letter, teletype, or clipping). The file list follows those PDFs, not the serial numbers.
The 2015 drop includes a second PDF with an embedded text layer for some parts (_text). Same pages as the scan; that copy is omitted from the file list. Word-level OCR differs and search may still hit both.

called from New Iork Cityf with reference to Bureau
61-7606 entitled CORNELTUs NEELAN et al, Neelan having been a/fugltiv.
He was indicted in NY in a Post Office case on a lottery involving the
Irish sweepstakes, and he has now been located in Philadelphia. He
stated in reviewing the file in cuestion he noted a letter from the WFO
based on an interview
Idated March l, 19ll.
The USA stated he will prosecute Neelan and the Po hasn't been look-
Ing for him lately because they were under the impression he had left the
country. The question is, the NYc Office thinks they have him located but
this is a Po case in which we had no interest.
I inquired of
as to whether the Philadelphia Office is in
possession of the facts in this case and he answered in the negative. I
told him that if we have an interest in questioning him what we should do
is to give Philadelphia the information and let them pick him up for
questioning and, of course, since ve are on notice that there is an indict-
ment out against him, it is incumbent upon us to turn him over to the
Marshal and leave it up to the Marshal and the USA as to mhat is done with
him. I also told him it was not necessary to advise the Postal Inspectors,
since we want to question him anyway,ut I afle.

that we could not pick him up on the warrant but the
interview was to ascertain whether he is identical with Neelan, therefore,
the matter should be referred to the Philadelphia Office. Give Phila. the
full facts; that he may be identical vith the fugitive, etc. and request
that he be intervieved. We want to interview him in commection with the
IRA as he is supposedly the leader of this organization. After he is in-
terviewed and we are through with him, he should be turmed over to the
