- A record of the Federal Bureau of Investigation released under FOIA. A work of the United States government, public domain under 17 U.S.C. § 105. No page image is stored: the page that names the case prints private home addresses, so the page shows a document plate.
Scans 19 to 22 of the FBI Vault’s “Jake Guzik (Final)” document, read through the viewer’s OCR. Scan 19 is an office memorandum to Mr. Rosen about current information on Guzik. Its date is only partly legible (“8-17-54” in part), and a received stamp reads “AUG 25 1954.”
The memorandum quotes the Chicago office’s General Investigative Intelligence Report of June 1954: “During the investigation of Chicago file 58-194 entitled, ‘Louis Campagna, was., et al; Bribery, Parole Matter, Falsely Claiming Citizenship, Perjury,’ Bufile 58-2000, the following information was obtained from the Miami Office.” The Miami office had learned that a non-published Chicago telephone listed to Guzik’s household was called from the Saxony Hotel, Miami Beach, in October 1953, when Guzik was suspected of attending a meeting with other Chicago figures. Scan 20 adds that a New York number was called “by suspects in the Campagna case in October, 1953.” A companion memorandum of August 10, 1954 (scans 21–22), about a different subject, mentions an identification record linked to the “Louis Campagna, et al, bribery case.”
The value of these pages here is the case title and file numbers. Chicago file 58-194 is the file number on the September 1947 interview reports in Roselli Part 03, and 58-2000 is written on the 1947 memoranda in Part 01, so the parole matter remained an open Bureau case into 1953–54. Guzik’s relatives named on these pages are private persons and are not named here, and what the telephone calls meant is the Bureau’s suspicion, not a finding.
