It was undetermined if Morgan's death was connected to his participation in the probe. The Federal Bureau Investigation entered the case Tuesday to determine if there had been a violation of organized crime laws, said Leon Gaskill, special agent-in-charge of Tfi Arizona FBI office. Morgan's lawyer said the investigation involved Banco International 'tie Arizona, from which Morgan recently borrowed $30,000. Bank officials, however, said they doubted that Morgan had given information against the bank because he was friendly with them.

contract, authorities reported Tuesday. An unidentified woman contacted sheriffs officials Monday night and said Morgan told her of the contract. Morgan was found shot to death Saturday in the desert near Sells. Clarence Dupnik, chief Pima County sheriff's deputy, said he believed the woman's story and claimed it helped explain Morgan's whereabouts for 10 days before he was found dead. During that time, Morgan had been reported missing.

According to the woman, Morgan was holed up in a local motel trying to contact whoever wanted to kill him, Dupnik said. He said the woman told of visiting Morgan at the motel several times. Dupnik said the woman told him that Morgan showed her $60,000 in cash that he said he was going to use to buy off a contracted killer. "If they accept this, then everything will be all right," Morgan reportedly told the woman. She said he did not tell her who was trying to kill him or why.

Morgan last month refused "physical protection" offered by the state after he gave a sworn deposition in an investigation for the state Banking Department, "We are trying to estab lish a uniform accident investigation system," Baird said.
