On the afternoon of June 4th, 196B, I found a note on my typel'lriter written by my temporary .I secretary to say that Mr. Raymond Sneyd had telephoned .' and \'Iould telephone agaln. He did that, I think about 5 p.m. that day. The voice came up : "This is Raymond Sneyd". He said he was a Canadian with a brother viho had been in Angola, with Vihom he wished to get in touch. As his brother vias - a mercenary could I give him the telephone number of Major ,Alastair Wicks, so that he could get advice on the way to find his brother? I was aware that Major flicks had last year ., \. .been troubled by informants who posed as mercenary volunteers and afterwards denounced his attempt to get volunteers for Biafra. So I offered instead to get Major Wicks to phone him. Would he give me a nwuber? 1.1r. Sneyd gave me a telephone number I'lhich I later discovered to be that of the Neyr Earl's Court Hotel in Penywern Road and an extension nUilloer which corresponded to the,ropm that he occupied. I telephoned ~o Major Wicks, passed the telephone number to him and asked v;hether he recognis,.ed the name. \'licks did not and for that reason did not takc up the contact. I thought no more about it and on Thursday, 6th June, I found a " oecond note on my desk at the Daily 'felegraph, to say that Mr. Raymond Sneyd would telephone again. He came through-again in-the-same voice and style , __' ____0_ _ \P..) . _...... _'.,_. __ : ~~ThiE} __ is _Raymond Sneyd"~. __ ".. 1._ ask0d ~ __ -:",...:had_:bc_,. been ., telephoned by Major -Uicks? Sneyd said that he had since changed his hotel and then set about discussing his problem l'Ii th me. He was no nearer moving on to join his brother, he said. All the officials had been unhelpful. I as]ced him more about his brother - how was he miss ing? !.1r. Sneyd then said that his brother was not really rnis~ing, though he had not hcm'd from him for four months. The fac t was that he would like to join him and become himself a mercenary. !.Ir. Sneyd did not revert to enquir ing for ],1ajor Wicks and seem'ed content to discuss his problem with me instead. As I had just published a book about Mr. Tshombe in which the mer-cenary fOI'ce in the Congo is frequently mentioned, this did not strike me as extraor-dinary, and as the man seemed to be in some s art of troubled state of' mind, I \"Ias patient and lis tened. NOI'I and then the conversation Vias interrupted, as he "las telephoning from a call box. I said to him that the mercenary forces had largely left Africa. He might find the remnants of them in Belgiu;iI and Jean Schranune l'laS certainly ther-e. There I'lere ex-servicemen's associations and I-Ieli'are organisatiOns for the former settlers in Africa who might put him in touch vlith his brother. I had no idea of their addresses but mentioned to him the name of' a: research editor on Congo affairs, M. Jean . Gerard - Liebor's of CRIPS, the Centre de Recherches et Informations Sociales et Politiques who could 1. ?""-.c''-'do " ° _.-. -.r~---~------ .....~--.-.~---- .. - _.. --- _ :-'C:-==-----:::.-=--....;..~3..:::---::·: _ '-----"iJ-_ ~- . - ======- -.. -=-~~-~-- .. .~~~----.--_ .. __ .. .. ----_._._------, 1.1.1'.

It occurred to me that I did not h~ve . the address of CRISP in the office and so offered to send him a postcard that evening with the address from my home. He mentioned the Pax Hotel, Vlal'wi'c!c Way. as his address. I said I knew the street in Pintl ic 0 ! and would y,'l'ite as soon as I could find the address of CRISP. On Thursday evening I reflected that this visi tor might be a nuisance to M. Liebois and that it was perhaps not correct to pass on a total stranc;cr in this way, especially as his manner and purpose gave an odd, almost unbalanced impression, so on Friday, at 2.30 p.m., I simply posted a postcard suggesting that he consult the Belrri'an Embassy or the Consular .::lection of the British l!'oreign Office '-. about his brother. This postcard was returned to me by the Post Office on the following Monday, 10th. as having insui'fic ient address. The card \'!as handed over by me to Chief Inspector Thompson at Scotland Yard the same afternoon. It was on reading the Sunday nerlspapel's on"the 9th that I realised that the suspect arrested at H,eathrol'l must be the same R,aymond Sneyd who had been telephoning to [,\C. I told I,ll'. S. R. Pawley, Managing .Edi tor of the Daily Telegraph and set out in a taxi to find the Pax Hotel, which vias not listed in the telephone book.

Mrs. Thomas admitted me. She said that Mr. Sney~ had spent Thursday and l~riday there and had left on SSlturday morning. She thoU8ht that he had simply walked down from B.O.A.C. air terminal, she said later, and that her hotEil was one of ,the first in sight. Until I mentioned his arpest ,Mrs. -Thomas did not refer to it. She then said that he had made a bad impression on her, V/aS nervous, f'tU'tive, lociced his bedroom door at night and stayed in'bed most of the d!lY. He had laundered his own clothes in his room, had a lot of nev/spapers, and tore up a lot of papers. Mrs. Thomas went to the trouble to turn out her dustbins for me ani I advised her to keep anything she recovcped thus for the police. I then discussed, vlith her how to lceep the name of her hotel quiet as I did not wish, and nor did she, to have every reporter in London there later that night. She told me that she \"las ex-directory, that the Post Office '/lould not give her number and that the name of her hotel was on her cards only. As to the lack of a sign, she was having a sign made and had meanwhile borrowed" the glass HOTBL sign. I asked why she did not have her hotel in the telephone book. She replied that she did not \'Iant to have people Ylho had lived in her hotel ringing her up and bothering her. She did not bring me in to see her husband, 1258·" ", ·~ _.-.. r'- - .. ---.. ~=---- - J" "-f" • -..,-~------~:.\------, "L~_cc.-=-C~':--'--5"- ~ C'_~' ' . -".-~------ but asked him through the door of a basement room whether he' th.ought._ t_J.le._plt0_~o§:r:aphs in the Sunday \ ___ , __ " newspaper s resembled their visit9i':-:-:-'~Tt'_could'"re him"\' .- ... -.. -.------.... --- .- .~------~.~.~---~~'"~ .. --,.~-~-~----~------she remarked, "though he is much thinner in the fac;:'e. The eyes are the same": From this I assumed that the Thomases had noticed the reports about Raymond Sneyd earlier in the day and not simply heard his identity from me. I asked about his departure. He had been trying to leave for Germany, Mr. Thomas said, on the Friday'and a B.B.A. Ground Staff girl had rung up to tell him of a change of flight schedule and to remind him ·that he had not paid his coach ticket. Had he- received a postcard from me before he left? I asked. She thought and said she remembered "something white" arriving for him in the Saturday morning post, which he had probably taken with him. The postcard, as I stated above, had never been delivered, but at the time of this conversation I did not knov{ that. As to ho\'l Mr. Sneyd found hisl'layto'me in the first place, I am still unclear. I do not believe that he just rang the Daily Telegraph foreign room, but that he \'IDS acting on advice that the papel' had recently published something about mercenru'ies or !lbout Major Vlicks, and that he was seeking the address or telephone number-of a mercenary officer in London. Indeed his first words to me related to this. r am now trying to ,{orlc out vrhat person could have put Sneyd up to this enquiry, "hether he might have read some old cuttin~ or picked up my recently " -.----- r------......
