JOHN WUEST HUNT, the writer, was formerly a. follower
of Father DIVINE, and was DIVINE's personal photograpilier. for
13 years before he left the movement in 1948, FBI number
1169824 is assigned to HUNT, who is considered a suspect by
DIVINE when DIVINE received six anonymous letters dated 11/9/55
at Leesville, La.; 12/22/55 at Loulaville, Ky.; 1/2/56 at
Louisville, Ky.; 2/3/56 at Mobile, Ala.; 4/16/56 at Loulsville,
Ky.; and 6/5/56 at Louisville, Ky. On leaving the movement
he vowed he would return to destroy it.
JOHN DEVOUT is the brotiier of JOHN WUEST HUNT and his
true name is WARNER HUNT, DEVOUT is presently the editor and
publisher of DIVINE's newspaper, "The New Day." HUND's mother,
MARY B, TREE, who died in one of the homes operated by DIVINE,
was an ardent follower of DIVINE's movement, JOHN HUNT alleged
that his mother turned over to DIVINE $200,000 of which he felt
and continues to feel that he should receive a third interest.
AUSA SULLIVAN CISTONE, EDPA, on 5/7/61, viewed each
letter and was of the opinion that the wording of each does not
indicate a violation of the Federal Extortion Statute. Mr.
CISTONE believes that the tenor of the letters indicate that
