Chief of Police
Sir:
During the month of September, 1981 this Department was in the
process of gathering information and making plans for a demonstration
which was planned by various groups to coincide with a rugby game
which was to be played on 22 September 1981 at Bleeker Stadium,
During this period of time, the Depar t received reliable
information that various groups involved in th protest against the
game intended to cause violence at the demonstration. The group
* mentioned most frequently was the Communist Workers Party (C.W.P.)
“~ and its militant arm, the Revolutionary Youth League or R.Y.L. It
was also learned during this time that Michael Young, the leader of
the C.W.P. was in Albany, taking an active role in the planning
stages of the demonstration, working out of the offices of the NAACP,
93 Livingston Avenue, City.
It was also during this time that the Department received more
information as to the nature of the acts of violence planned by the
C.W.P, and the R.Y.L., such as attacks on Police, the takeover of the
playing field and the use of weapons. nn
It was under these circumstances that early in the evening’ of
September 21st, 1981 an Officer on patrol in the vicinity of the
Hyatt House Motel observed a vehicle with two occupants acting sus-
piciously and a routine check showed the vehicle to be reported
stolen,
Subsequently, the vehicle was stopped and one occupant arrested,
The other subject had exited the vehicle and eluded Police, It was
then learned that the vehicle was registered to Michael Young and the
subject who was arrested, who was in possession of a handgun, was one
John Spearman, Jr., the leader of the Revolutionary Youth League,
It was at this time also that the Department learned from reliable
Bote of PET et ns penren were engaged in a conspiracy to commit
* acts of violénce at the emonstration t e following day and were using
Apartment 7-K, 400 Central Avenue, City for their Headquarters, and
that weapons and other members of their group were at that location,

With this information, the District Attorney's Office was notified
and at about 10:30 PM, Assistant District Attorney Joseph Donnelly,
Detective Lieutenant William Murray, myself and members of the NYSP
and F.B.I. were in the Lieutenant's office at Police Headquarters pre-
paring a search warrant for the Central Avenue address, when Detective
James Malone informed me that a Mrs, Clara Satterfield was on the tele-
phone and she wished to speak to someone as the Mayor had told her that
if she had ever received any threats or had any problems, to call the
Police, 2g CLAMu 4 CVI e Bun 99 xl cf. és ee Pé. itl 7 > Gay Crd ao

At this tind, I took tive phone call and though I cannot quote
verbatim, to the best of my recollection after I had identified my~
self Mrs. Satterfield stated that she was afraid for her life and
safety and felt that she was as entitled as anyone to Police protection,
I agreed with her and inquired if there was any special group or
person she was afraid of, or if anyone had threatened her, At this,
she became vague, but did finally inform me that there had been a
meeting that evening concerning the rugby demonstration and she and
Michael Young had a disagreement over methods and she was now in fear
of physical harm and she again requested Police protection, I then
obtained her nome address and teéléphone number and after, she informed
me there should only be two cars in the driveway of her home overnight,
I assured her that her home would be protected and the phone call was
terminated,
I then made arrangements through Division One to have Mrs, Satter=-
field's home checked through the night and then knowing that Captain
John Dale of this Department was an acquaintance of Mrs. Satterfield,
I contacted him at his home, informed him of the phone call and asked
if he could get in touch with her hoping she would be more specific to
him about her fears, but the Captain was unable to contact her,
Shortly after this, the search warrant was completed and after
being duly signed, executed,

Sir:
In September 1981 for the entire month, our department was preparing for a
controversial rugby match to be played at Bleeker Stadium on the evenkag of Sep&ember
22, 1981. The game was to be played between the South African Springboks and a team
from the Eastern Rugby Union. We had information that there was a coalition of groups
known as START wnicn was planning peaceful demonstrations against the Rugby Match.
While information was coming from varicus sources throughout the Bastemn United
States, we learned that there were certain organizations within SacT and START that
were planning violence in an atiempt to stop the game, Good, reliable information was
filtering in to the department tnat members of the Communist Workers Party (CWP), the
Revolutionary Youtn League (RYL) and the May 19th Urganization which had avowed to stop
the Rugby Match regardless of the consequences. Through informant information and with
independant investigation, coupled with the circumstances surronding the arrest of Hohn
SPEARMAN (same informant said that he was in the area), we had what amounted to probable
cause to obtain a search warrant for the apartment of Vera »ICHELSON (‘7K 400 Central Ave
A group of law enforcement officers from the FBI, NYSP and members of this depart-
ment executed a search warrant at that location at about 3:35AM 9/22/81. I was not in
the original group of officers who entered tne apartment as I was attending to other
Police Business at that time. I artived at ™ of 400 Central Avenue at about 3:55AM an
at that time the search was avcut complete and the only non-lawenforcement person in tk
building's apartment was hs. HICHELSON. I spoke to Ms MICHELSON very briefly as I have
known her to be a member of various groups for tne past 11 years. I asked to and she
permitted me tre use of the telephone. Seeing that all was well at the apartment, I le
the buidding at about 4:00AM and returned to the office to my other duties.
Seversl days after the arrest, I was askea about some personal papers of some of ©
people who were arrested whicn were not on the return of the searcn warrant or persona.
property. These papers which were originally taken to establisn identities, were not
seized as ewidence as there wes nothing to indicate that they were anything else but
perscnal property. The papers were returned to their rightful owners.

a chain on the door necessitated 4 minimum amount of force being used to
gain entry. Once in the apartment, the apartment's occupants were
immediately located and secured. No resistance of any consequence was
offered by the apartment's occupants, and no force was applied by any
Police Personnel present, be they Municipal, State or Federal,
A search of the apartment was conducted, and the following items
were seized:
1) A quantity of marijuana
2 A quantity of fireworks
3) 38 cal. special ammunition
4) A speed loader for .38 cal. ammunition,
_ It should be noted the during the arrest of defendant Spearman on
9-21-81, the .38 Cal. revolver in his possession fit the speed loader
seized,
The apartment's occupants and the charges levied against them are as
follows:
