Baldwin owns 3 night- club n Milwaukee called the "Saij llouse," a name coined from Mouses spits use when they arc oh the run. The name of the club ~s ironic in view of Rewald's clairtt: that he has connections to the CIA.

Kindschi is the former head of the CIA office here and his association with Re- wald has helped fuel sp? ulation that. perhaps Rewald does have some tie to the CIA. Curiosity was further aroused when it was learned that Kindschi did not actually file a criminal complaint against Rewald, charging him with theft, but that it had been tiled by police.
