14 Nos. 77-1698, 77-1210 & 77-1370 dated November 21. This memorandum, however, failed to mention the presence in the apartment of two federally illegal weapons—a sawed-off shotgun and a stolen police riot gun—which O’Neal had told Mitchell about. There is evidence that the appropriate FBI procedure would have been to notify the Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco Division of the Treasury De- partment. This was not done. After his meeting with O’Neal on November 19, Mitchell met with members of the Chicago Police Department’s Gang Intelligence Unit (GIU) and con- veyed to them: the information contained in the floor- plan. Mitchell also told them that a large quantity of weapons was stored at the apartment, including the sawed-off shotgun and the stolen police gun.!° Piper was aware of the transfer of this information to the GIU and at a meeting with-Johnson informed him of the same.2! On the basis of this information, the GIU planned a raid on the apartment to seize the weapons. Shortly thereafter O’Neal told Mitchell that the weapons had been removed from the Monrce Street apartment. Mitchell relayed this information to Piper who in turn informed Johnson. Johnson ordered Piper to inform all local agencies which had received the prior information about the weapons that they had been removed. Piper transmitted this order to Mitchell, who phoned Officer Bizewski of the GIU. Johnson, on November 24, also phoned Thomas Lyons, director of the GIU, and told him that the BPP expected the raid and had removed the weapons from the apartment. Lyons told Johnson that he would cancel the raid. Within two days of the cancellation of the GIU raid, Mitchell called Jalovee and told him that the weapons had been returned to the apartment.!? Mitchell also 10 Mitchell, however, never mentioned these federally illegal weapons in writing until eight days after the December 4 raid on the apartment. . 11 The SPU also was informed about the presence of a large quantity of weapons at 2337 West Monroe Street. % From late November to December 4, 1969, Mitchell had five to seven conversations with Jalovec.
