Again, let me say this may not or it may have a beating on this. My life was directly threatened. I called the Hanover police something I very seldom will do. But I panicked. They also phoned my husband's office. He was working that night on dispatch at the cab company. They threatened my life with him. Sometimes they would call and say something, sometimes just hang up, sometimes just giggle. But they directly threatened my life. I thought perhaps it was something to do with various police organization work I had done, somebody had a grudge or something, or a crank, or anything. The phone calls stopped and they started again. I called the police department again. But then I was in hysterics.
Last Thursday I was on my way from my home up to North Attleboro, Mass. For approximately 30 miles I was followed, and subsequently, up until last Sunday I have had a tail on me. I notified the Mansfield police. They got the registration number and the name of the fellow following me. And he could give no reason why he was almost 60 or 70 miles from where he lived.

Mr. Hubert.

And the Mansfield police have a record of that?

Mrs. Rich.

That is correct. Mansfield, Mass.

Mr. Hubert.

And you also reported it to the police of----

Mrs. Rich.

Hanover--the phone calls; yes. May I also add at this time that due to a personal contact of mine, I will be doing, not for pay but as a favor, a little bit of looking into a few matters for the Mansfield Police Department for Chief D'Alefie, I believe.

Mr. Hubert.

He recently contacted you?

Mrs. Rich.

Well, the day I was up there we got talking and come to find out I could probably help him--in fact, me being here today stepped me from actually doing it.

Mr. Hubert.

And the day you saw him was last Thursday?

Mrs. Rich.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

And it was at that time he said he might be able to use your services?

Mrs. Rich.

Yes; most definitely. And then again, come Friday, and I get notification of this, I was just wondering whether or not it added in. It may and it may not. But I was told to tell you. And I have done so.

Mr. Hubert.

Well, what happened on Friday?

Mrs. Rich.

No. I received notification, your letter.

Mr. Hubert.

I see what you mean.

Mrs. Rich.

And I wondered if it did not somehow have a bearing on this.

Mr. Hubert.

But this tailing was after you got the letter, and after you had spoken to----

Mrs. Rich.

No; it started the day before. It was the same week. Thursday I started to be tailed. Rod got the letter Thursday, called the FBI, and God knows how many people he told. Thursday afternoon I picked up a tail.

Mr. Hubert.

And you reported that to the Mansfield police.

Mrs. Rich.

That was the first time I saw a policeman that I could pull over and say, "Get the guy, he is tailing me." And he most definitely was.

Mr. Hubert.

But there were two occasions when you observed that you were being tailed.

Mrs. Rich.

No; from last Thursday up until Sunday night I had a tail on me.

Mr. Hubert.

But you reported to the chief of police in Mansfield on Thursday that you had a tail on you.

Mrs. Rich.

The Mansfield police is the one that caught the guy that was tailing me Thursday. I have not had a chance to report----

Mr. Hubert.

It was a different person, then, you think.

Mrs. Rich.

The person that has been tailing me Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is not the same person that has been tailing me Thursday. They caught the guy Thursday.

Mr. Hubert.

What sort of an automobile was it that was tailing you?

Mrs. Rich.

Thursday?

Mr. Hubert.

No. Well, Thursday first.

Mrs. Rich.

Thursday was a black Pontiac, Massachusetts registration, a Mr. Alberto, from Hyde Park. They got him.
