Mr. Turner, who spent ten years as_ a Special: Agent 0f tne FBI 9 is not unfamiliar to me He has authored similar articles, both during my imprisonment in the United States and while I was detained in the German Democratic Republic in whichn he knowingly and purposefully cited numerous lies about me He has . provea hinself adept at putting words in my mouth and misquoting his sources of irformation to lend credence to his major untruths 2 skill he probably developed wnile serving with the Bureau' s inteiligence-security division: His recent claims: cause me to wonder whether or not he ever left the FBI._ Professor Richard H_ Popkin, from whon Mr .

Ricey S, News who acted in an unofficial capacity as a Tegally oriented II friend . Ii The salient aspects of Mr . Nagell 's history are as follows He says he was 0n active military duty ((Arny ) fron 1948 untii_ 1959 For the first three of these years he: was- an: enlistedt man and for the last' six' he was an officer, working in Iilitary intelligence _ In 1954 he was the sole_ survivor in a plane crash which resulted in a brain concussion Tiumerous physical injuries and prolonged @ilitaryohospitollzation. Hr_ Nagell now claims that he believes it wlas this heaci injury which resulted in his 1I unstable personality and immature or impulsive behaviour I Ie attributes to 1his instability his marital difficulties and his decision tc resign his cOmission in 1959 sonething which he now considers unwise . At tie time of his leaving the service he wels not awarded a disability pension, but he says that he was; later able to successfully petition the VA for 2 "654 % disal,ility. M He claims tiat he had never seen a psychiatrist durine his military 'career. From 1959 to 19622 he says tlat he worked {or +he State G[ California as an investigator {or various bureaus iXi: marital difficulties had inereasedl and his Wvife insialed 0MI separation 9 keeping with her their two chilc1'en. Iiagell says that one, night in 1962 he became intoxicated, and tricd to break down the coor to her apartment On this ba;is he says he lost his job and says that for the next: year :he "just drifted, 1i apparently without otivation to worl supporting himself on- his, disability pension and fimancial aid from his fostGia Me is not certain about whether 01" not the divorce from wife has ever been legally comp eted, COn[DEiIAL BACKGROUND USE ONLY Jr_' ================================================== Page 80 ================================================== 13-00000 USE Pag 2 of 482 BACKGROUND ONLY CONFIDENTIAL LINIT DISTRIBUTION In September 1963 he was accused of committing an act which he now says was bred" out of his feeling of hopelessness and desperation. Jle claims that in a confused way he attempted while armed to rob a bank and was easily appre - hended . For the next 4 1/2 years followed a complicated series of trials appeals and retrials _ In addition to spending these years in prison , he also .had at least three prison hospitalizations for psychiatric observation. His appeals apparently hinged on his contention that he was temporarily insane" at the time of the crime He wals not considered insane at any time during his imprisonment , and his claim to temporary insanity found support in the expert testimony of a noted American neurologist Dr. Edwin Weinstein. Dr. Weinstein apparently interpreted Magell' 8 EEG S (electro-encephalograns ) as being abnormal and argued that Nage ll had developed a "paranoid personality, and instabiiity" on the basis of his brain injury This conten- tion was apparently disputed by other expert witnesses, but in; any: case Nage-l+ was: Officially: acquitted: 3 on 'April: 29: ofl this year. Nagell says_ he then went to the New York area , where his sister (his closest relative) resides , but he clains an additional complication in his life had risen in that he had once been an "acquaintance" MI of Lee Hiarvey Oswald, and had been implicated in a possible to assassinate President Kennedy in an article in RAMPARTS_mlagazine which appeared in January 196 8 _ Mr _ Nagell firmly denies that he was involved_in_any way with anysu conspracy and Was in fact imprisoned at the tine of the assassination On the basis 0f_ this_magazine article_ NMagell_says_ that Mr. Garrison the attorney general from New Orleans who is arguing that a conspiracy existed in the assassination came up to New York to interview him; Nagel says that he dened tat he_ had any information of use to Mra Garrison_ But that the interview left him with two fears Qne_ fcr was that Garrison might_ Su)poena bim to testify_in_the_New Orleans proccedings, and the other fear was that the CIA might_ try to "eliminate him, a suspicion Which hie Sjys was Planted in his mind by_ Mra Garrison. He says thait soon @fterwards wile walking down a street at nieht in New York City he was almost run over by a car without lights Fle interpreted this as Deing an attempt at murder DY the TCIA and in some haste left the country for a tour 0f Europe . BACIGROUND USE ONLY CONFIDENTIAL plot ================================================== Page 81 ================================================== 13-00000 BER" 'N As 3 of' Yfs BACKGROUND USE ONLY CONFIDENTIAL LIMIT DISTRIBUTION In June , shortly thereafter, he discussed with an American consular official in 'Zurich his recurrent fear that the CIA was going to "hit" him. His next travel point was to West Berlin and On June 11, 196 8 while his train was traversing the. DDR 8 he says that he was taken off the train and illegally detained. He is not certain why he was taken off the train but admits to having talked freely on the train to other Passengers about his life history . and he was also carrying with him a heavy portfolio of all of his Army and government records involved with his service career, disability, and imprisonment For several mncnths Nagell claims that he was interrogated by the Kast Germars and repeatedly asked to confess his role as a spy or govern- ment agent - iventually 9 Magell says that he concluded the only way to be released would be to feign mental illress , which he says he proceeded to do, This was several weeks ago and he says he was soon examined by an East Gernan PSychiatrist and events were set in motion which culminated in his: release today four: and; one-half: months aflerthis: detention began. Mr, Nagell ' s plans for the future center around returning to the United States and beginning an appeal: to the sovern- ment to' grant him a Psychiatric disability pension, 8s well as for his physical disability, on the basis of his Head injury He no longer believes that it is realistic t0 think that the CIA was trying to kill him. Mental Status Exam Mr. Nagell is a tall, 3 8 year ola male who sjOws the evidence of a prior head injury in the form of extensive scar:; on the left side of his face facial asymmetry due to-severth nerve injury reconstructive surgery on his left ear etc_ In addition He shows some healed incisions on his left wrist which he claims were superficial lacerations self-in flictea at the time of his first imprisonment in 1963 and a Few weeks ago in the DDR Fie denies that in either instance he seriously intended- to kill himself_ He is 0f superior intelligence and shows a remarkable memory for dates and names Initially he was beliigerent, angry , and Sus picious of every effort made to help him_ Over the span ' of two hours , he gradually became more cooperative and rational He is in his own terms a "ESIcoy_SSiF617 paranoid person" " which he means that he 1s always hi suspicious and tends to impute intentions where none mayCexist. Despite his CONTIDLNTIAL BACKGROUND USZ ONLY Pal ayain by ================================================== Page 82 ================================================== 13-00000 USe Hisz.e Page CONFIDENTIAL LIMIT DISTRIBUTION overall suspiciousness and his fears about the CIA there was no overt evidence of psychosis_ His nltrieionai state and' general well-being both appeared to be good Summary In sumary then we seem to be dealing with a person who has had a_ personality disorder for a_ number of years 9 manifested by emotional instability, impulsive behaviour, a tencency to be litigious ) and a general suspicious or. paranoic orientation_ It is difficult to know how much of what he is saying i8 factual but it may be that in June of this year he was becoming "borderline" or even delusional in his thinking about possible attempts on his life, and this probably explains his flight to Europe. Currently, he is not psychotic and seems competent in a legal and psychiatric sense to negotiate his own affairs and: be a free citizen again.
