RE: ARTHUR SCOTT BARNHARDT; ET AL SABOTAGE; ET AL i Due to the absence of any investigative reports to refer to, Mr. Kane indicated that he cannot at this time state exactly when he will impanel a grand jury, or what tools he will have at his disposal when he takes this matter before a grand jury. He added that he has not been able to initiate any prosecutions in this matter to date inasmuch as the investigation has not been competed, He pointed out, however, that he is extremely interested in initiating as many local prosecutions as possible, and cited his record of having convicted approximately 60 individuals as a result of disruptions on the KSU campus during April, 1969, | Mr. Kane stated that he also desired that the FBI furnish him with copies of FBI reports in order to supplement local investigation and allow him to successfully prosecute as many persons as possible. Mr. Kane advised that he was recently contacted by Robert Murphy, Departmental Attorney. As a result of this contact, he said he has angpointment on June 25, 1970 in Ravenna, Ohio with Mr. Murphy and Jerris Leonard, Assistant Attorney General in Charge of the Civil Rights Division, Department of Justice. Mr. Kane indicated that the purpose of his scheduled meeting with Mr. Murphy and Mr. Leonard is to discuss action Kane plans to take, and for him to learn the plans of the Department of Justice in regard to this matter. In all probability, Mr. Kane will make requests at that time for copies of FBI reports to be disseminated to him. During this interview with Mr. Kane, Special Agents made it clear to him that the FBI has no authority whatsoever to release its reports, or any information contained therein to his office.
