SIRHAN BISHARA SIRHAN
The Directie Politie furnished the follow infor-
mation which it said had been developed by the police of
Utrecht:
The postmark on the env elope of the letter to the
subject shows the posting date to be June 1968 The
letter was without doubt posted in Utrecht on that date and
canceled at the Main Post Office in Utrecht between 10:00 A. Na
and 11:00 A. M & The stamps on the envelope are of 2 special
series mhich were issued in the Netherlands only between
Ma y 1, and 28 1968 ` The postage was insufficient since
the charge for a
ietter
directed to the United States, not
exceeding twenty grans in veight, is 45 cents.
The name ESBES wa $ searched thr ough the records of
the Register Office in Utrecht, and the Central Civil Registry
in The Hague , with negative resultsa It can be sa id therefore,
that no person utilizing this name is registered a5
iiving
in
the Netherlands.
The address 51 Prins Bernhardplein, Utrecht , is
occupied a branch post office. The manager 0f this branch
stated that it is unusual for letters to be directed to
General Delivery (Poste Restante) at this branch post office.
Dur the past yeer not a single letter addressed in this
manner has been handled this brancha Inquiries at the
Ma in Post Office in Utrecht revealed that there was no infor-
mation of any ma il being handled through General Delivery
there for 2 Mr ESBES.
Mention is made in the letter of a daughter of the
sender who wa $ born on Efforts to identify_ PII
the vriter through this indicated birth of his daughter proved
to be nega tive.
It has not been possible for the police in Utrecht
to identify the writer: of the letter t0 the subject. The
Utrecht Police believ e it to be a hoax letter and the name
ESBES to be fictitious_ They suggest the possibility that
the nane ma y have been devised fron the initials of the
subject, S_B. which phonetically might be written as es-b-es,
The Directie Politie.said" that a ma n named Alwin
Edgar Philip Nolfgang, born August 9, 1922 , in Paramar

Captain Hugh I Brown 2 Decmber 12 , 1968
Much of chis information was vague in Crowe 's. Iind , but when he
was specifically asked whecker Sirhan mentioned Senator Kennedy on
that evening
1
Crowe replied ihar i0 was
possible Kennedy could
have been mentioned , but he could not honestly remember Crolve
was then asked if he remembered Sirhan making any statenent about
eradicating , assassinating shooting bombing or in any way
eliminating anyone in political Office in this country_ Crowe
responded in the negative He said that to the best 0f his
knowledge
1
Sirhan made no mention 0f elininating anyone
In reviewing with Crowe, he again seated tnat he could not
remember but that it was possible that Kenneay could hava been
mentioned
8
but definitely chere was no mention by Sirhan about
shooting Kernedy
or assassinating Kennedy
on that evening.
The instruent,. theory end procedures to be followed during the
course of the examination were reviewed with Cxowe Fe was given
an opportunity to ask questions concerning the testing technique
and then two polygrans were obtained t0 determine whether Crowe
was 4 proper subject capable oz being examined instrumentally
These control tests indicated that Crowe was responding physiologicelly
to the controlled stimali and thar he was a proper subject fit for
examination Crowe Was very cooperative, he followed instructions ,
and his attitude and demeanor were gooa _ One zone control test w2s
administered This test contained tne following 12 questions seven
0f which were irrelevant questions 2n8 five 0f which were relevant
to the issue of Senator Kennedy' s assassination:

QUESTION ANSWER
7 _ Do you remember lying *0 2 police
officer about something imporza t? No
8 Did Sirhan ever tell yoii e was
planning to shoot Kennedy? No

any pills
or medicine &har yor navz taken Vocka
in the past eight hours?
11 Do You know Kennedy Was shot? No
12 To your knowledge was Sirhan 2 member
of the Communist Perty? No
During the course oi the examination , Crowe emicted deceptive
physiological responses at points wnere Questions 3 6 & 8 _ the crucial
questions were asked These responses are consistent with decep-.
tion but could als0 be 2ttributed ro the phychological involvement 0f
the subject_ Specifically, such indices appeared when Crowve anSwvered
that Sirhan had never told hin that he was planning to shoot Kennedyv_
Upon conclusion of this series of questions it was evident that the
test would not continue satisfactofily until these issues were discussed
with Crowe
Crowe was advised that his responses E0 the questions thus far, were
indicative of either deception or quilty knowledge on his part_ He
expressed great concern over his feelings and admitted that he firnly
believed he had cast a strong impression over Sirhan His influence
had in Crove 's opinion been a
determining factor in Sirhan $ decision
to cOmIi e the assassination Crowe Was reminded that prior to being
exanined instrumentally on the polysraph he had staced that it was
possible, but that he did not recail whether he and Sirhan had discussed
Senator Kennedy on the evening of 2 , 1968 However , he was told
that his responses
definitely idicated that he did remember discussing
Kennedy with sirhan Crowe feplied by saying "Yes
4
there was conver-
sation about Kennedy . God , I mean he could have said something , you
know Well , Walt, you know "Walter if somebody should shoot that
bastard"
1
and I'm afraid that you Will ask me to what degree dia I
influence nin_ M Crowe was questioned additionally concerning his
acknowledged guilt feelings an other conversation that he may have
had with Sirhan

==================================================
Captain Hugh I. Brown -4- December 12 1968
He related that he had discussed Al Fatah With Sirhan. He told
Sirhan that the struggle inside Israel was going to be a long , long
thing; that it was akin to a liberation struggle and woula have to
be resolved war_ He cold Sirhan that A1 Fatah had given the Azab
people new morale. In discussing A1 Fatah and their guerilla acti-
vities Cxoe felt that his siatements could have some terroristic
ideas into Sirhan's head and Crowe speculates that due to Sirhan S
actions nd aemeanor at tat time Sizhan could have seen himseli 8s
a revolutionary fighter jand decided to corit his act
At this point of the examination
1
Cxowe requested the time It was
10 :30 P. I _ Crolve said that he had decided not 80 discuss che matter
further _ He said that he felt it was against his interest to say
anything further until he nad time *o consult with his attorney
Ideally more questions should have been askea to ecquire sufficient
physiological tracings for adequate comparative evaluation However ,
due to the circumstances , this could nok be accomplished There Wvas
no opportunity to ask questions pertaining to Cxoe s personal' invol-
vcment in the assassination consequently chere is no criteria on
Which to form an intelligent opinion as to any criminal participation
on his part _
Based on the available polygrams the only sornd conclusion that can
be reached is that Sirhan made some statement to Cxoe regarding his
intent to kill Senator Kennedy_ Whether or not this was 3 causual
statement or a detailed discussion cannot be ascertained fcom the test.
