I just stumbled acoss the name Dolan this past week.
"Pappy" Dolan owned a club similar to Ruby's at Commerce
and Ft Worth Ave in Oak Cliff. He and Ruby ran around together
and used to go to Bell's bar b que at Jackson and Elm together.
Bill, who runs the place said they would talk about which girl
was dancing at what spot and things of that nature.
Still checking details.

Here's the HSCA report on JHD:
iv. James Henry Dolan
Biographical Summary
(924) According to an FBI report,(1183) James Henry Dolan was born October
25, 1914, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. In the 1930's, he left school and worked
for a year in a California hotel. In 1938, he returned to Cedar Rapids and
worked for his brother-in-law in a food business. In 1941 and 1942, Dolan
was employed as a structural iron worker. He reportedly did some boxing as a
youth and was associated with people in the boxing profession. He served in
the U.S. Army from August 1, 1942, to December 21, 1945, and received an
honorable discharge. He moved to Phoenix, Ariz, in November or December of
1950 and established his first permanent address at 4045 North Fifth Street.
While in Phoenix, Dolan claimed self-employment at the Jefferson Street Gym.
Dolan left Phoenix in the spring of 1951 and moved to the Denver area where,
on May 1, 1951, he rented a cabin at Rossdale Ranch, Evergreen, Colo. On
January 9, 1952, Dolan pied guilty in the U.S. District Court in Denver to
impersonating a Federal officer. He received a 5-year suspended sentence and
was placed on probation. (1184)
(925) It was subsequently disclosed that Dolan had violated his probation
by "rigging" a poker game in Denver and resorting to violence. On October 3,
1953, a probation violation warrant was issued, and Dolan was arrested in
Chicago on October 5, 1953, by FBI agents. At the time of his arrest, Dolan
was reportedly employed for the American Television Company in
Chicago.(1185)
(996) On November 2, 1953, Dolan's probation was revoked, and he was
ordered to serve 5 years in prison, with a 3-year probationary sentence to
follow imprisonment. He was incarcerated at the U.S. Penitentiary at
Leavenworth, Kans, until October 1954. He was then transferred to the
Federal Correctional Institution at Seagoville, Tex., from which he was
released on February 21, 1956.(1186) He was placed on probation under the
supervision of a U.S. probation officer in Dallas, Tex., until September 25,
1959. (1187)
(927) Following Dolan's release from prison, he was employed for brief
period by Windy City Distributors in Chicago. In 1956, he moved to Dallas,
Tex., and was employed by the Rush Rug Co., 4729 Maple Avenue, Dallas.
(928) In 1957, he was employed by Sears, Roebuck & Co. in Dallas and by
Paymaster Co. (check protectors). From 1958 to 1961, Dolan was employed as
the Dallas representative of the American Guild of Variety Artists (AGVA).
After leaving AGVA, he was employed for a brief period as a car salesman at
a used-car lot owned by Nick Cascio.* (1189) After this, Do]an was
reportedly employed as a traveling salesman for an unidentified company.
(1190) In 1961, Dolan's attorney in Dallas indicated Do]an was employed by
an unidentified wholesale flower concern. (1192)
(929) While Dolan was in Dallas, he resided at 101 North Edgefield and, in
1968, at 5509 Caladium. (1193) In June 1969, he was reportedly
---------------------
*Cascio is described by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms as a
"traveling criminal" whose specialties are planning large burglaries and
robberies and acting as a fence. (1190)
419
residing in Chicago at 423 Wrightwood. (1194) In October 1969, he was
residing with his brother in Glenview, Ill. (1195)
(930) Dolan's aliases have included Jim de Late, James Harry Dolan, Jim
Dolan, Jimmy Dolan, James Bradley, and "Family."
(931) Illegal Activities.--Dolan has been described as one of the two most
notorious hoodlums who resided in Dallas. (1196) An informant described him
as a strong-arm man who had been employed by Trafficante.* (1197) Dolan
reportedIy traveled throughout southeastern and midwestern United States and
had numerous underworld contacts throughout these areas. (1198)
(932) His specialties included armed robbery of bookmakers, gamblers, and
houses of prostitution, confidence swindles, and shakedown rackets. (1199)
Dolan had also, on occasion, professed to be a gambler. A source familiar
with union activities reported that a poker game in which Dolan participated
was in almost regular session at the AGVA offices. (1200)
(933) Dolan was also associated with bookmaking in Dallas. A 1962 report
states that the primary bookmaking operation in Dallas was directed by John
Eli Stone, Albert Meadows and Sherman Franklin. (1201) The report lists
Dolan among those who were "closely associated with this group and
especially with Meadows and Little," who "in addition to gambling themselves
extensively, act as strong-arm men or collection men whenever asked." (1202)
In 1961 it was reported that Dolan was engaged in "booking" with Johnny Ross
Patrono and Bobby Chapman. (1203)
(934) On December 2, 1949, Dolan was held by Illinois police for
investigation and subsequently released without charges being filed. (1204)
On July 30, 1951, Dolan surrendered to the U.S. Marshal in Denver to face
charges of impersonating a Federal officer--he had been involved in
impersonating Internal Revenue Service agents. Anthony Colossacco, who was
described as a "known gambler, burglar, and exconvict," was suspected of
"fingering" the victim for Dolan in the impersonation ploy. (1205)
(Colossacco has also been described as an associate of the Smahldone Gang,
who are alleged to control gambling activities in the Denver area.) Dolan
was convicted on this charge on January 9, 1952, and placed on probation.
(1206)
(935) In 1952, Dolan was reportedly involved in a "rigged" poker game in
Denver and had resorted to violence, threatening the life 0ś the victim of
the scheme. (1207)
(936) On July 11, 1951 Denver police arrested Raymond James Conley, Joseph
R. Snell and Sidney Neveleff on charges of operating a racetrack swindle in
Denver. Dolan was reportedly involved in it. (1208) On July 30, 1951, Dolan
surrendered to the district attorney's office in Denver on the same charge.
(1,209) He was imprisoned from 1953 to February 21, 1956.
(937) In March 1959, Dolan was reportedly in Hot Springs, Ark.,
participating in plans to rob a bank messenger at Pearl, Miss. (1210)
(938) Dolan was employed at AGVA from 1958 to 1961. A source acquainted
with the union considered it "a racketeer proposition."
-----------------------
* Trafficante was a leading organized crime figure operating out of
Florida.
420
(1211) The source stated "he did not doubt Dolan may have used his position
for extra income by requiring payoffs from band leaders and persons seeking
entertainers." (1212)
(939) On January 16, 1961, Dolan, George Fuqua, and Betty Lee Johnson were
arrested by the highway patrol near Biloxi, Miss. (1213) They were charged
with violation of tile Federal Firearms Act (carrying a concealed weapon),
possession of stolen property and possession of burglary tools. On January
18, 1961, Dolan and Johnson pled guilty to the firearm violation and were
fined. Dolan pied not guilty to possession of burglary tools and was
released on bond. (1214) Dolan subsequently entered a guilty plea on October
18, 1963, and received a 5-year suspended sentence.
(940) On February 9, 1961, Dolan was apprehended in Dallas when leaving his
home with George Everett Thomas, a "notorious Dallas police character."
(1215) There is no indication whether charges were filed.
(941) On February 16, 1961, Dolan was arrested by the Dallas police for
breaking into a pay telephone. (1216) (942) On March 2, 1961, it was
reported that three men entered the Melvin Sugarek Ranch, near Beeville,
Tex. and held up a poker game, escaping with $26,000. (1217) On February 28,
1961, Fuqua had checked into the Shamrock Motel in Dallas. A large gathering
was held there after the robbery; it included Fuqua, Dolan, Charles David
Boyd, Bob Fletcher, Eddie Tom Greer, Thurman Giles, Billy Ray Gimes, Garen
Insley, Jerry Gordon and an Anderson. (1218) On March 7, 1961, Dolan
surrendered to the Texas Rangers in connection with the robbery.(1219) In
May 1961, the Beesville grand jury returned no bill of indictment against
Dolan. (1220)
(943) On April 4, 1962, Dolan was observed in the company of Eddie Tom
Green, who was described by Dallas police intelligence "as a person who,
according to their informants, specializes in armed robberies of
prostitutes, gamblers, and bootleggers and is known to associate with Dolan
and known Dallas hijacker George Fuqua." (1221). On April 25, 1962, an
informant advised that Dolan had just returned to Dallas. He would not state
where he had been, but did say he was then in the "fire business," meaning
arson.
(1222) On October 10, 1962, it was reported that Dolan had participated in a
robbery of a club financed by Sherman Franklin Little.
(944) On April 17, 1963, it was reported that Dolan had been arrested by
the sheriff's office in Baton Rouge, La.(1224) Dolan and Glen Ernest Burnerr
were reportedly acting in a suspicious manner at the Holiday Inn in Baton
Rouge and were suspected of being in possession of a stolen telephone truck.
(1225) On April 18, 1963, it was determined that Dolan was not identified
with either person believed to be in possession of the truck. (1226)
(945) On May 10, 1963, a Cadillac was stopped in New Orleans which was
driven and owned by Dimitry Saik,* who operated on Bourbon Street. Dolan was
also in the car. (1227) On May 21, 1963,
----------------------
*Saik frequented the Town and Country Restaurant owned by Joseph A.
Poretto, who was an associate of Carlos Marcello.
421
it was reported that Dolan had a "large score" set up in the New Orleans
area by a "Carlos" (last name unknown), which was to occur on May 26, 1963.
Eugene Ruben McCroskey and Carl Angelo de Luna* were also to be involved.
(1228)
(946) On June 1, 1963, Dolan reportedly was in Shreveport, La., to meet
"Carlos" and plan the robbery, scheduled for June 3, 1963. (1229) Dolan was
unable to contact De Luna and McCroskey, so the robbery was postponed again,
and Dolan returned to Dallas. (1230)
(947) It was reported that Dolan attempted to gain the assistance of David
Fred Hagler and Robert Paul Winters for a June 10 robbery. (1231) Dolan
learned, however, that the planned robbery was known to the police, so it
was again postponed. (1232)
(948) On June 24, 1963, Dolan was arrested by the New Jersey police.(1233)
Dolan was charged with possession of a concealed weapon and auto theft.
(1234) He was arraigned on July 23, 1963, in East Windsor Township Municipal
Court and released on $4,000 bond. (1235) Dolan pied not guilty and was
indicted on August 2, 1963. (1236)
(949) On July 29, 1963, Dolan was arrested at the Executive Inn Motel's
private club in Dallas for assaulting a security guard, C.F. Bentley. (1237)
On July 30, 1963, Dolan was charged with aggravated assault of a police
officer.(1238) On July 31, 1963, Dolan and an unidentified Dallas attorney
appeared at the Dallas police station and attempted to get the charge
dropped.(1239) According to an FBI airtel, the Dallas Police Department
planned to press charges. (1240)
(950) On September 10, 1963, Dolan was found not guilty of a disorderly
conduct charge in East Windsor Township Municipal Court, New Jersey. (1241)
It was reported that Dolan was free on approximately $12,000 bail on various
charges in New Jersey. (1242)
(951) On October 18, 1963, Dolan appeared in the circuit court in Gulfport,
Miss., and entered a guilty plea to a charge of possession of burglary
tools.(1243) He received a 5-year suspended sentence and was placed on
probation for 5 years. (1244)
(952) On November 15, 1963, Dolan was observed in Dallas.(1245) On November
21, 1963, he was seen by FBI agents entering a tire shop, reportedly
operated by a Dallas bookmaker, T.B. Turns, as a bookmaking
establishment.(1246) On December 9, 1963, Dolan was arrested by the Dallas
police, along with Jess Raymond Bridwell and Robert Elmer Woolverton, at the
Sheraton Hotel. (1247) They were suspected of planning a jewel robbery
(1248) and were found with 36 pairs of crooked dice, two unsigned cashiers
checks bearing the heading of a nonexistent Billings, Mont., bank, and a
list of 10,000 persons, along with their wagering limits. (1249)
(953) On December 29, 1963, Dolan was given a 1- to 3-year sentence for
arson, to be served at the Kansas State Penitentiary. He was released on
October 24, 1967. (1250) On July 17, 1972, Dolan failed to appear in the
U.S. District Court in Atlanta, Ga., on a charge of interstate transport of
stolen property. (1251)
--------------------
*De Luna was a Kansas City hoodlum.
422
Organized Grime Connections
(954) Connections with Santos Trafficante.--An FBI report states:
In late 1960 or 1961, George Fuqua and James Henry Dolan went to Miami,
Florida, where Dolan introduced Fuqua to Santos Trafficante, Jr., through
Trafficante's associate, Milo Bell. The purpose of the contact was to
ascertain if Bell and Trafficante could use Dolan and Fuqua in the
"collection" business or as enforcers for Trafficante. Trafficante
allegedly told these two Dallas people that he wanted a "bolito man knocked
off and roughed up," as this man was holding out on his collections and
owed Trafficante some money. Dolan and Fuqua were told by Trafficante that
their fee for doing this would be whatever money they would take from the
bolito man after roughing him up. This bolito man was pointed out to Fuqua
and Dolan by Bell, who also acquainted them with the man's habits and
activities. Dolan and Fuqua subsequently "knocked off" this man and, got
about. $7,000. About two weeks after this, at Trafficante's request, a
second bolito man was pointed out and "set up" by Bell and he, too, was
robbed and beaten by Dolan and Fuqua. (1252)
(955) The only other indication of any association. between Dolan and
Trafficante occurred in February 1961 when Dolan was arrested in Dallas for
breaking into a pay telephone. At the time of his arrest, Dolan was placing
a call to Marlowe Bell, who is identical to Milo Bell, and a close associate
of Trafficante. (1253)
(956) Connections with Carlos Marcello.--In March 1963, it was learned that
Dolan had been on a trip to New Orleans and Mississippi. It was said that
Dolan, while in New Orleans, had spoken to Carlos (last name unknown,
possibly Marcello), "a big-time New Orleans hoodlum," who told him that the
FBI was checking on him and showing his picture around. (1254)
(957) As stated previously, on May 10, 1963, Dolan had been stopped by the
New Orleans police in the company of Dimitry Saik, who was said to frequent
the Town and Country Restaurant owned by Joseph A. Poretto, an associate of
Marcello.(1255) On May 21, 1963, it was reported that Dolan had a "large
score" set up in the New Orleans area by a "Carlos" (last name unknown), to
take place during the week beginning on May 26, 1963.(1256) On June 1, 1963,
Dolan reportedly was in Shreveport, La., to meet this "Carlos" regarding the
robbery. (1257)
(958) The FBI contacted several informants who stated it was doubtful
Marcello would set up a "score" for Dolan. They did state, however, that
Nofio Pecora possibly might assist Dolan. (1258) Pecora was a Marcello
associate who operated the Tropical Tourist Court in New Orleans. (1259) On
February 1, 1963, a New Orleans informant had observed George Fuqua at
Martin's Restaurant. across the street from the Tropical Tourist
Court.(1260) A 1964 FBI report which listed Nofio Pecora's known criminal
associates included the names of Dolan and George Fuqua. (1261)
(959) Other Connections--There are several indications that DoIan was
associated with organized crime individuals during the early
423
1950's when he was in Denver, Colo. Anthony Colossacco allegedly was
involved with Dolan in the impersonation case. (1262) Colassacco was an
associate of the Smahldone Gang in Denver.(1263) Dolan was known to have
been at least acquainted with James "The Weasel Fratiarnno,(1264) a known
west coast organized crime figure. Stephen Sambur, a Los Angeles gambler and
hoodlum, observed Fratianno, Dolan and Colassacco conferring at the Brown
Palace Hotel in Denver. (1265)
Association with Jack Ruby
(960) When the FBI interviewed Dolan in 1963, he stated he had known Ruby
since 1957.(1266) Dolan stated he saw a lot of Ruby when Dolan worked for
AGVA. (1267) He also visited Ruby's club on "several occasions." (1268)
Dolan stated he "had not been in Ruby's club in over a year and he last saw
Ruby about 3 months ago at the Town and Country Restaurant in downtown
Dallas."(1269)
(961) When the committee interviewed Dolan, he again admitted knowing Ruby.
(1270) He could recall two specific incidents that concerned Ruby and AGVA.
The first arose when Ruby wanted a performer to date a customer. While the
performer did not want to do she refused to file a complaint. The second
occurred when Ruby hit Joe Peterson, the manager of a group that performed a
show called Bottom's Up. (1271) Breck Wall ran the group and, in his Warren
Commission testimony, confirmed Dolan's account of Ruby's having punched
Peterson. Wall added, however, that the AGVA representative, James Dolan,
sided with Ruby in the dispute. (1272) He stated, "Jack Ruby and Jim Dolan
took the show over and made our kids perform the show." (1273)
(962) Dolan was also associated with R.D. Matthews, another Dallas hoodlum
associate of Jack Ruby(1274) who was said to be a frequent visitor to
Dolan's AGVA office. (1275) Matthews also assisted Dolan in collecting a
"bonus" from a nightclub owner in Hot Springs, Ark.(1276) On May 29, 1963,
Dallas police intelligence advised that Dolan had recently been in contact
with R.D. Matthews,(1277) allegedly discussing the need for $2,000 to gain
the release of their associate, George Fuqua. (1278)
(963) An investigation of telephone calls made by Dolan and George Everett
Thomas indicated a call was made to the American Bonding Agency in Chicago,
(1279) which is operated by Irwin Weiner, a major figure in organized crime
and the Teamsters. Ruby called Weiner on October 26, 1963, and Weiner has
admitted previous contacts with Ruby. (1280)
Treatment by the Warren Commission
(964) Dolan was interviewed by the FBI regarding his association with Jack
Ruby, (1281) but was not questioned regarding his organized crime associates
or criminal activities. He also was not questioned regarding any knowledge
of Ruby's connections with organized crime or the Dallas criminal element.
(965) Dolan was referred to in two other FBI interviews. In one, Jewel
Brown stated that Dolan had contacted her in 1959, requesting, that she work
for Ruby at the Sovereign Club. (1282) Brown worked for Ruby for 7 months,
but quit as a result of a disagreement regard-
424
ing Ruby's advances toward her. (1283) At the request of AGVA, she returned
to the club and completed her contract. (1284).
(966) In the second interview, Lillian McCardell stated that Beatrice
Arnell had informed her that Ruby had slapped her at the Carousel. (1285)
Arnell went to the Dallas Police Department to report the assault and was
told to forget it.(1286) She then went to Dolan and reportedly was told by
Dolan "to forget the incident because Ruby had too much on the Dallas Police
Department for such a trivial charge." (1287)
(967) As stated previously, Dolan was also referred to in Breck Wall's
Warren Commission testimony. (1288) (968) There is no indication that any
Warren Commission staff member interviewed Dolan. He did not testify before
the Commission and there is no indication that the Warren Commission was
aware of the extent of Dolan's criminal activities.
Other Information
(969) When Dolan was in Phoenix, Ariz, in 1951, he was observed in the
company of James Bradley Lee. (1289) Lee is identical with Eugene Hale
Brading, a.k.a. James Braden. (1290) It was the informant's opinion that
Brading and Victor Periera might have conveyed to Dolan the idea that he
could operate successfully as it "con man." (1291) When FBI agents attempted
to interview Brading, he refused to answer any questions regarding himself
or his associates.(1292) Braden was detained for questioning in Dealey Plaza
on November 22 1963. (1293)
(970) Interview with Dolan by House Select Committee on Assassinations
staff.
425
SELECT COMMITTEE ON ASSASSINATIONS
NAME: James Henry Dolan Date 3/9/78 Time 2:30 .m.
Address: Atlanta federal Penitentiary Place: Same
Interview: Prior to our interview with Dolan, an inmate at the federal
penitentiary in Atlanta, Georgia, I conferred with his attorney Roger
Thompson as to the nature and scope of the matter to be covered.
Unfortunately, Dolan had not been explicitly told the identity of the
persons coming to visit him and was a bit apprehensive about an
interview. However, once the situation was explained to him and we had
an opportunity to speak with his attorney, he was very cooperative.
Dolan was an ex-fighter (light heavyweight) who had served time
prior to his obtaining a job in Dallas as the AGVA representative in
approximately 1957. He stated that he had no connections in getting the
job and had an attorney satisfy himself that he would not be violating
the Landum-Griffin Act by accepting the position.
Basically, he was concerned with enforcing minimum standards for
entertaining employees in the Dallas area which included the strip-tease
performers. As a consquence of his position, he became acquainted with
Jack Ruby whom he described as a poor businessman and "bully."

Date Transcribed Rife 3/14/78
426
Two specific incidents caused Dolan to dislike Ruby. The first
problem occurred as a result of Ruby trying to cancel the contract of a
Breck Wall show called "Bottoms. Up," a fairly well-known musical-style
review. During the course of arbitration, voices and tempers became
raised and Ruby suddenly punched Joe Peterson ("a little fairy"),
supposedly on behalf of Dolan.
According to Dolan, this one-punch fight was typical of Ruby,
who had a reputation for "picking his spots" and was a real "bully,"
especially around his club where a lot of Dallas policemen "hung out."
The second encounter involved a complaint by one of Ruby's
strippers who alleged Ruby ordered her to "date" some of the customers,
which is against union policy. Unfortunately, said Dolan, the girl did
not file a formal complaint, so that the union was unable to take any
formal action.
Ruby had a poor business sense and made some unwise decisions
when he was "booking" legitimate acts and thus went into "strippers" in
order to make money. In contrast to the Weinsteins who ran a good
operation, Ruby's Club did not have a great reputation, although Dolan
did not have any information re gambling or prostitution.
As to AGVA problems, Dolan was not aware that Ruby would "go
over his head" or even knew union leaders. Although Ruby frequently
talked about his days in Chicago and implied an association with people
from his neighborhood who had
427
gained a reputation as part of the criminal element.
Dolan could recall no specific problem involving the use of
amateur strippers as the problem was tightly controlled by the union and
each club was permitted one show per week, using non-union talent
provided that the winner was given a future union contract.
Dolan had no contract with Eva Grant and thought that the
Vegas
Club did not use "strippers."
As to Ruby's slaying of Oswald, Dolan believed that Ruby had an
ego drive to impugn people, was an extreme "police buff," had grandiose
schemes, wanted to "be a hero" and though he could "get by" with killing
Oswald since he had made good police contacts. In sum, Ruby was a "sick
man." Hearsay was that Ruby took "uppers" as he was extremely
aggressive. Another common story was that Ruby had been run out of
Chicago by the mob, although Dolan had not heard that Ruby was
mob-connected in Dallas. Socially, Ruby liked to associate with anyone
who was a "figure."
Dolan acknowledged that he was very familiar with the gambling
"scene" in Dallas which he described as mostly "freelance" with no mob
control. He knew that Civello was at Appalachia in 1957 but had no
real organization of which Dolan was aware. Ruby was not a part of the
gambling picture in Dallas and Dolan could not conceive of Ruby being
connected to the mob, as he was too erratic and closely associated with
policemen all the time.
428
We went over the list of names of Ruby associates and Dolan
commented upon some of them. Certain names like Baker, Weiner and
Dorfman he recognized as Chicago union officials but whom he did not know
personally.
MC Willie was friendly with Ruby and was a "man about town"
although usually he was hurting for money. His only real "connection" was
with Benny Benion in the 1940's. Dolan understood that Ruby had lent
MCWillie money and that the trip to Cuba in 1959 was to collect the sums
advanced.
R. D. Matthews was another well-known gambler, probably known to
Ruby, since he frequented the "joints" of Dallas.
Joe Campisi was a familiar name in Dallas as a restauranteur
but Dolan had no information as to his gambling or book-making.
H.L. Hunt was known as a gambler who had gotten "taken" in
some
card games but Dolan had no specific information. He also knew Kirkwood,
Bonds, and Jack Todd but could not relate any particular association with
Ruby.
Jim Braden, or Brading, was unfamiliar to Dolan until I
mentioned Phoenix and James Brady Lee, in connection with some boxing
promotion. Dolan stated that he would be happy to identify a photo but
he could not be sure that Lee was the person also known as Braden.
We had to leave as the pre-dinner "lock-up" ritual was
429
being observed but Dolan and his counsel indicated that he would try and
refresh his memory and would contact us if he had additional information.
I stated that we would provide a letter indicating that Dolan had been
cooperative if necessary.
