Also posted under "HARRELSON' thread...JACK BINION and R.D. MATTHEWS “Ten minutes later, Jack Binion comes to the table,” Shelton said. “He says, ‘Boys, I can’t have you giving my dealers a hard time. If you do it again, I'll send the Man with the Patch over.’ ”They didn’t have to be told that the Man with the Patch was R.D. Matthews, a friend of the Binions who was long reputed to be a Texas underworld figure.Characterized by Shelton as “the man who handled the muscle in Dallas” and “a gen-u-wine tough guy,” Matthews, who wore an eye patch, was notorious enough to merit a mention in the Warren Commission Report on the Kennedy assassination, where he was described as a “gambler” and a “passing acquaintance” of Jack Ruby.After Binion threatened to send Matthews to the out-of-control table, “nobody said another word to the dealer,” Shelton said.Another time, the Man with the Patch approached Shelton as he was working the floor during a World Series tournament at the Horseshoe. Their ensuing brief conversation suggests that perhaps, after all, things aren’t so different today from the way they were.“He said, ‘Tony, what about this poker? What's this all about?’ And I said, ‘Well, R.D., it brings a lot of people into the old joint. These people come in, they play cards and they watch. Their wives come with them. They eat, they drink, they play the slots. It brings a ton of people to the joint.’“He said, ‘That’s just what I wanted to hear.’ And away he went.”http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/ju ... en-it-all/

Matthews was the former wife of Russell D. Matthews, an acquaintance of JackRuby(836) and an individual known to be connected with gambling and othercriminal enterprises in Dallas. (837) In his deposition to the committee, R.D.Matthews said he had no knowledge of this call (838) or of any connectionbetween Ruby and Matthews' ex-wife. Elizabeth Anne Matthews was not located bythe committee, but she had told the FBI on December 1, 1962, that she had norecollection of any calls from Dallas on or about October 3, 1965. (839) (810) Other ostensibly explained but still suspicious calls included number ofpossibilities. A brief account of these calls and individuals, in chronologicalorder, follows. http://karws.gso.uri.edu/Marsh/HSCA/CALLS.TXT

Although explanations have been given, questions and speculation abouthis associates and contacts remain. For example, there was a 3-minute call toClarence Rector of Sulphur Springs, Tex., on April 10, 1963. Rector told the FBIhe had known Ruby since 1950, and that in 1960 Ruby had mentioned that he hadbeen to Cuba in an attempt to obtain some gambling concessions with someassociates.(834) Rector had also made a visit to Cuba in late 1959.(835) The FBIdid not question Rector about the April telephone call, and the committee wasunable to locate him.(809) Another unexplained call was to Elizabeth Anne Matthews of Shreveport,La., on October 3, 1963, at 11:03 p.m. It lasted 13 minutes.

I knew I had read that Oliver information somwhere. I'm not too sure what to make of it all though. Beverly claims to have danced with Jack Lawrence, to have been one of the closest eye witnesses to the assassination and to have actually filmed the shooting from an angle which would have given us a look at the knoll area. She was certainly amongst the action.I don't want to direct this thread away from Lawrence, although he might be connected somehow. I keep thinking about how Beverly was married to Mob guy George McGann at a ceremony where R. D. Matthews was Best Man. Matthews is a close associate of Lewis McWillie and mentor of sorts to Charles Harrelson. Interesting cast of characters.Could Beverly have been encouraged by someone like Ruby to film the assassination from the ideal spot, maybe figuring the film would be worth a nice chunk of change?My head hurts now.Beverly and McGann below. Looks like Matthews on the extreme right.James

Matthews mentioned in this article....The week of the incident, the National Gambling Impact Study Commission was in town and the eyes of the nation were on the hearings at the MGM. Also in town was nationally known gambling critic Reverend Tom Grey, Executive Director of the National Coalition Against Gambling Expansion. Rev. Grey was my houseguest. In a stroke of genius, Stupak donated one of his then-uncashable $5,000 chips to Grey's Methodist church in Illinois. The following day the famed Reverend and I twice attempted to cash the chip but on each occasion we were rudely ordered to leave the casino. Reverend Grey left town and entrusted his chip to me. Headlines back east proclaimed "Las Vegas Casino Refuses to Honor its Own Chips." The Nevada Gaming Control Board took notice. Reverend Grey's chip along with all the remaining $5,000 chips were finally cashed in July 1999, the day before the Gaming Commission was to hold a hearing on the Behnens. To further bolster sinister speculation, on August 25, 2000, Stupak and his 23-year-old daughter Summer were assaulted while dining at Piero's restaurant on Convention Center Drive. Three men beat up the father and daughter after claiming that Stupak had "stolen Horseshoe Casino chips." Later, one of the assailants, Russell R.D. Matthews pleaded "no contest" to battery charges and paid a $1,000 fine. However, District Attorney/politician Stewart Bell refused to prosecute the other two assailants, Grover "Chance" LeSeuer, and Benny Behnen! In 1996, Ted named LeSeuer and young Benny in a police report as suspects in a drive-by shooting outside his Palomino Lane home. Shortly after the shooting incident, according to an eyewitness, Ted ordered Benny and Nick Behnen off his property at gunpoint. Chance LeSeuer was found dead in Phoenix, Arizona in 2000. He was only 23 years old when he died of unknown causes. http://www.stevemiller4lasvegas.com/New ... onCase.htm

In another incident according to Murphy, "R.D. Matthews came over to our house with Benny one day and they wanted to talk to Ted. I opened the door like a dummy. They forced their way in. I tried to shut the door on them, but they pushed me aside. I said Ted is in his room sleeping, but he got up and began yelling at R.D. and Benny, and it got to be a scene.http://www.americanmafia.com/Inside_Veg ... Vegas.html Then R.D. left and told Ted that he was going to be sorry. "

Perhaps you're thinking, "Just pick any name from the white pages and you'll find a suspect." That's true enough. The casino man has made his share of enemies. But Metro police have a better idea of who was behind the brief battering of Stupak and daughter, Summer, while they attempted to eat dinner at Freddie Glusman's upscale restaurant. According to a police report, Stupak's alleged assailants were Benny Behnen, Chance LeSueur, and an intriguing older fellow named R.D., who has been identified as R.D. Mathews. In his early 80s, Mathews obviously can still cut his own meat. http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/ ... 62227.html
