Re: TOS [Timothy Oliver Stoen]

– Went through the two briefcases that TOS left back here and found some things that you might find of interest –

– PASSPORT: His passport has been changed since the time that he went with me to take care of finances: the date of issue of this new passport is Feb. 9, 1977, which is before he was sent down here. This passport has stamped next to his color picture. His passport was issued in SF. It says this passport is issued as replacement for a lost stolen passport and is limited to expire on Sept. 8, 1977 – extension of validity must be approved by the department. His passport number is H272505. His passport has Heathrow stamps – Barbados – Trinidad and Tobago – his passport lacks the double Heathrow stamp which is indicative of going to Switzerland so I would doubt that he went on to the continent while in Europe.

– If this passport were to be lost I would say that he would have a difficult time replacing it.

IMPORTANT CONTACT OF STOENS

Hunter, William G: 751 Longridge Rd. Oakland, California 763-3749

occupation: DA’s office – Head of Robbery Felony Team –

why this man is important to us:

– in one notebook TOS talks about calling Billy H. from London re: suitcase: this would make me think that this may be the same man as this guy in the DA’s office.

– In another notebook Stoen talks about mailing a letter to Billy Hunter from Barbados – this is on the same sheet of things to do in the process of leaving the church – i.e. send Paula telegram – write Jim – contact Marge – write letter to Billy Hunter containing (that is all that is said you did that say containing what)

– in a personal address book in TOS black briefcase is his address and name again

– in TOS green briefcase is a letter of recommendation from TOS recommending this B. Hunter to be Judge – TOS mentions his outstanding prosecuting ability and the fact that he is writing this hand written from Guyana. TOS concluded his letter to the committee of Judicial selection in SF by saying “Pardon my longhand, but I am on leave in an outpost in Guyana, and I have no luxury beyond pen and ink… Sincerely TOS

it would be my opinion that the letter containing thing is that he mailed a copy of this letter to Bill Hunter while in Barbados.

I think that Bill Hunter is the one who kept his suitcase in SF and is probably the key to the things – if we wanted to find that out.

Daniel Wienstein [likely Weinstein] – Wiensteind sent Stoen a handwritten note – dated earlier this year. It says –

Timothy – your work before the grand jury and with the press has been nothing short of sensational. Watching you last week was a pleasure, I have numerous comments from lawyers, grand jurors and press exalting your fairness, and professionalism, and human qualities. You are a real credit to this office. DW.

– BANK ACCOUNTS: For sure TOS has a bank account at the Chartered Bank of London. He has two checkbooks to this effect. Recently used at that. Could not see how much was in account as the account was not there. It is the SF branch however 999 Market Street, SF.

NEWS ARTICLES: TOS has a collection of news articles that has been written about him especially since coming to SF – re: voter fraud cases.

LEATHER GOODS: Two leather wallets – lots of leather keychains with different initials on them – two wallets must be for two girlfriends. One is blue and the other is red.
