FBI Burglaries During Kelley Tenure Revealed
FBI agents burglarized the New York City residence of Leonard Machtinger, brother of a fugitive Weather Underground member, while Clarence Kelley headed the bureau starting July 9, 1973. The incidents, first hinted by a bureau source, aimed to locate Howard Machtinger, who fled in 1970 and remains at large, with Kelley unaware of the lawbreaking until recent disclosures. In a separate matter, Mary Ford, widow of John Ford, sues the executors of his estate for 4.1 million dollars over the sale of a Rolls Royce, yacht, and Los Angeles mansion, alleging improper will drafting and tax effects.
