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.

fined $1^000. each. Bail was discharged as to the remaining defendants,
on the motion of the Goremnent, with the exception of defendants NEENAN
and McOARRITT.
The file in the tftiited States Attorn^'s Office relative
to this case reflected that the investigation was conducted by the Post
Office ]hspectors, Nevr lork City, and that at a Coinmissioner's hearing
.
for the removal of McGARRITI from Philadelphia, Penni^lvania, on April."
19, 1939, Commissioner JAliES H. VkUDt discharged UcGABRm since the
only witness on behalf of the Govenment, Post Office Inspector E. T.
LOVEfOi, failed to identify McGARRITT*
The fil^urther reflects that the United States Attor-
ney's Office in the Southern District of Ne\v York, conteirplated a nolle
prosse against JOHi^ KELLY, 2nd, who was the sen of GERALD KELLY, and
\ J015LR,_iSmY^ son' of JOffil W. KELLY, and GLIFFa:!: BURGETT, ward of JOHN
KELLY, all of idiom were-aromad.jZOjyears of age*
From an examination of the file, it appeared that Mc-
GAHRITT was engaged in setting up agents for the distribution of Irish
Sweepstake lotteiy tickets in the Philadelphia section, and it appears
that ifcQARRITT either resides there, or can be reached at 4909 l^ynn-
field Avenue, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and either is interested in,
or operates the saloon located at 1308 Drury Street, Philadelphia, Pennr-
^Ivania.
It was noted that a copy of the indictment in this lot-
tery case had been furj^sh^^^the State Department, for the atten-
AgenbHHmBT
tion of Special It is probable that the State De-
partment was interested in JfcGARRITI at the time of the visit of the
King and Queen of England, and this was the reason for the interest of
this latter departeent in this lottery case.
