By this time Edward Partin was facing Federal Racketeering Charges and D'Alton Smith offered to get him off the hook if he would recant the testimony that had put Jimmy Hoffa away. Frank Matula, Frank Ragano, and an attorney in Dallas who was the brother-in-law of RUBY'S friend Gordon McLendon, all attempted to sway Edward Partin. Clint Murchison and Murray Chotiner were linked to the effort, as was RICHARD NIXON. While Jimmy Hoffa was incarcerated Frank Fitzsimmons took over the Teamsters Union. Frank Fitzsimmons met with Allen Dorfman and developed a cozy relationship with NIXON.

About three or four minutes later MARCELLO said, 'I want to see Provenzano in New York.'" [FBI Dallas 175-109 3.3.89] CARLOS MARCELLO was interviewed about these statements on September 6, 1989: "As expected, MARCELLO denied making these statements, as well as denying any involvement in the assassination of President Kennedy.

The two men had gone to a bank together, obtained a check in that amount, and proceeded to the Linclonwood Hyatt Hotel where they had a 1:00 p.m. luncheon reservation. As the men left Mr. Dorfman's Cadillac in the parking lot, they were walking between other parked cars when two men ran up behind them and yelled, 'This is a robbery.' Instantly one of the men began firing a 22 automatic. At least six spent casings were found. Only Mr. Dorfman was hit." [NYT 1.21.83]
