You are avisei that my inforration is that a large

120,000 copies of the peper were bought by Yr. Pendergast, and
another that *lO,GO0.00 worth of the paper were so purchased. I,

Government Prepares to Tap Phone Wires
of South Side Residence Only to Learn
Spinsters Have Replaced Quarry.
A South side home that may have been a rendezvous tor the Union
station killers and other gangsters was discovered by the government
"just a year too late."
Recently tecleral agents called at the home of a South side resident.
It was after dark and upon opening his door he saw two strangers on
his porch. He was apprehensive, looking over his shoulder at his wile
and daughter.
, "We are federal agents," one of the men said.
- .. e> They walked into the room.
- The government ncw permits
tapping of wires," began one of the
federal agents. "We know who you
are. We have looked you up and
we will tell you what we are doing;
The house back of you, we have
learned, is being used tor a meet-,
ing place tor gangsters. We want
to tsp their telephone wire and put ,
a man in your garage twenty-Iourlhours a day.
,i How do I know you are federalagents?" asked the resident. +
The two men produced cards with _
their names and pictures the;-eon, »_
Still the resident was nonplussed. '
. What's the name ot the peopIe?"i
he asked.
He goes by the name of So-and- i
So," said the federal agent. '
i A smile spread over the face of
the resident.
"Well, gentlemen, you are just a
iyear too late." he said. That man
land woman pulled out just a year!
ago and three spinsters, who work
downtown, live there now. I am?
-sure you would gain nothing o1"
value by tapping their telephone.
I think your delayed hunch-is;right, though. I remember on sev-i
l|

l
eral mornings seeing two or t_l-u-eg
cars back out of the house with
Oklahoma licenses. The morning
lthe man and his wlie moved out,
;,1ust alter the Union station mas-i
lncre. I saw them put a machine
gun in the front seat as they le1t."._
The federal agents were skeptical"
and had to be taken to the keeper
tot the corner grocery, who eon-I{firmed the story. __;¢_____ _- 'llo of Law Sniff Way to [517 L"TEE"? 6, 1934 r'Il3I'fUFlIAL
---"" Fiasco. """'="'
Once more the Union station massacre re-
turns to the list oi unsolved crimes. .
Despite extravagant claims before the con-
vening of the tederal grand jury which ad~
journed Monday night, no new light has been
shed on the murders.
Two new names were added to the list ot
those alleged to have participated in arrang-
ing tho plot that led to the massacre and that
of Adam Rtchettl was substituted for tour
named astha actual killers.
In the light oi the outcome, there is more
reason than ever to believe that the jury was
summoned solely to permit use oi the massacre
ease as a medium through which to pay o
political scores. ' »
Most of the time oi the jury was consumed
by the United States district attorney in trying
to get something on the local Democratic or-
ganization.
He succeeded in obtaining indictments against
three Kansas Cilyans on evidence so flimt
that the sense of fairness of the community has
been outraged, but he did not get one step
closer to bringing to justice those involved in
the massacre. whoever they were. -
There is something so revolting in the use oi
a crime that shocked the whole cotmtry tor
pogjul purposes that it is diffittllt. 1.0 nd
words to express the indignation such conduct
arouses. '
The whole show" that was 118895 I1 111! 19¢"
eral building over a period o! two weeks can
result only in loss oi respect for the law. Il
also will tend to breed contempt tor the de-
partment oi justice which has made such a tine
record in other cases. _ .
Yesterday the Journal-Post suggested that
the time had come for the government to put
up or shut upto produce some evidence to
jugfy its blackening oi Kansas City's name or
to put an end to ballyhoo.
Unable to put up, the government shut up.
Within a !ew "hours after publication at thc
Journal-Post's editorial challenge the iarce was

NHJORANDIIM FOR IR. TALILE.
Time 2:00 p.m.
ihile discussing other matters with llr. Nathan of the
Kansas City office, he requested advice as to what action shouldnot be taken by the Division with respect to James{LsCapra aliasJimmi{ Needles.
Mr. Nathan stated the understanding had with the
authorities at Lellington, Kansas was that before LsCapra is
released he should be returned to Trkellington, Kansas in order to
make bond as a material witness in connection with the case pend-
ing at that place. Mr. Nathan suggested that LaCspra be taken
by Division Agents to Rellington and tuned over to the authorities
there for whatever disposition they cared to make of him.
Mr. Nathan requested that the Division consider his re-
quest and advise him at the earliest moment.

at Kansas Eity, and Rggpgtj, the former Police Commissioner, Hestated he could n6t!vouch for the accuracy of this rumor, and could
not furnish details as to the nature of the perjury.
He further advised that the Chief of Police and the Mayor% of Wellsville, Ohio are in Kansas City and that they apparently have
brought the guns with them. He inquired if the Division desired these
guns. I advised we should have them if that were possible - that we
did not want to have anything to do with Fultz. He advised that
the latest report in the papers was that Riohetti is to be brought
back to Kansas City on habess corpus to testify. He requested advice
as to whether Richetti should be questioned upon his return - I replied
he should so question him.

It is with great delight and satisfaction that information
is received of the apprehension of Richetti and Floyd, and a cherrished
thought to realize that again the able men of the Division of
Investigation, Pepartment of Justice have demonstrated to the citizens
of these United States, and the citizens of foreign countries, that
there is at least one law enforcerent agency in this country, super-
vised by an able director, and with him associated a corp of efficient
officers, who never falter, nor fail in the solution of major crimes,
and those nan have so ably demonstrated that the racketeer, and the
hoodlmn, shall be summarily dealt with and the Laws of the United
States upheld and enforced, without thought of the criminals
financial, political, social or provincial prestage and connections.
While Melvin Purvins has so ably shown and demonstrated
his ability in his handling of the apprehension of Dillinger in
Chicago, and the apprehension of Floyd in Ohio, and his work so
commendable, although it
those cases to the point
certed efforts of all of
shall share the honor ofis apparent that he has been able to bring
of apprehending the criminals by the con-
the men of the Department, and men who
concluding those publicised cases.

I underwent a number of hardahipe ei'ter the capture or elatae, trying
ae beet I could to cooperate with the Division of Investigation here in not
making it known , in order that they night ¢8pt92lIIIOl-B more of the gang. Ir.

then for there wee day! from Sept. 22nd to Oct. 10th that I did not know whether
I would eat or not.
I cane to Iew Orleene looking for work and only intended etaying a few

II view of the fact that I did cooperate with your defertlente here end

The attached clipping, appearing in the
Yeehington Star for October 31, 1934, contained curtain
information in the l&n5a5 City Easaucre Case, Inich I
do not believe should have been given cut. It Ian If
un'ier2tar_*lin£ that this lllfdta-.'.&t.iO2l was proczuz-ad_,by
the Iivieion of Investigation, but the article iould
indicate that it has been given out by tho Identifica-
tion Bureau of the Lmsns City, Kansas Police
Drpertment. Fill you please ask Ir. Rattan, of the
Kansas City Office, for any infortation Ihich ho may
have concerning the disclosure of this rather inportant
piece of inforastion, which enould have bee retained e
until the trial of the case.
Very truly youra,
Jonn Edgar Hoover,
Incl. Director. _

Crime-Ridden Kansas City, M6.
9292'hcn Senator opeland of Ne-' York.
chairman of a senate committee ' 'esti-
lgatingr crime conditions, declared iansns
C-it_v, .92Io., to he one of the worst crime
5centers in the country, a few indignant
denials were heard across the state line
iand then the matter was promptly
. idropped and apparently forgotten as soon
las possible.| Events have been transpiring of late
to lend support to the senators descrip-
tion. These events are brought to a cli-
max with the indictment of the former
director of police. the chief of detectives
and the head of the police auto theft bu-
reau of Kansas City, Mo. The indict-
ments alleec per_jur}' in connection with
the ftZélf'!t'll92gI'31Ili iur_vs in92'estlfI£1tion
into the union station massacre which
cost the lives of four officers and their
prisoner, Frank Nash.
Indictments do not mean that those in-
dicterl are judscd to he guilty but rather
that circumstances are such as to warrant
trial to determine their guilt. Accord-
inely, the passinc of jtidpment must be
withheld until testimony is presented in
open court and a verdict is rendered a
cording to law. But this does not pre-
vent the occasion from being of concern,
especially in view of the report of the
grand jury which included this state-
ment: .
Criminal mobs and racketeers exist
here, composed wholly of men who per-
mancntly live in Kansas City, Mo. We
have proof beyond question of reasonable
douht that they have close connections
with men of similar character living in
other cities where it is known there are
harliored criminals of the lowest type,"
and this statement with direct bearing
upon the union station massacre: The
police departmcnt of Kansas Cit!, Mo.,
was, on the date of the massacre . . .
unquestionahlv not as efficient or not as
effective in the discharge of its duties
as it should have been.
Close neiglibors that we are, Kansas
City Kansas cannot escape a vital inter-
est in the maintenance of law and order
in Kansas City, Mo. Crime conditions
there are bound to he reflected to a
greater or lesser decree upon the welfare
of our own city. With personal inter-
est as well as a general interest in the
suppression of crime and the mainte-
nance of order, we hope to see a thoro
icleanup across the state line such as now
lseems det'initel_v in prospect,i ".@'r't'"|::"Q

to the jurors the nethod followed in the Single Fingerprint Section
in identifying latent fingerprints and exhibited seven enlarged
charts of latent impressions found in the house and the corresponding
charts of inked impressions of the fingerprints of Vernon C. Killer,Vivian Lathiss and Adam Richetti. In response to numerous questions
fro; Assistant United states Attorney Randall Wilson, in charge of
the prosecution, and various zembers of the jury, Er. Kurphy described

You, or course, realize that these indictments were re-
turned by the Grand Jury tron evidence adduced before it during
its inquiry and no investigation has been made by this office in
connection with these particular indictwents. The United States
Attorney at Kansas City, Pissouri, has requested certain immediate
inquiries at Tellington and *ichita, Kansas, relative to the in-
dictnent against Fayen. In the circumstances I am withholding the
conduct of this investigation until advised by you.

MEMORANDUM FOR HR. TAMM
In connection with the efforts of the Division to locatethe gun used in the Kansas City massacre, the Division is presentlyengaged upon invest ation looking to the location and apprehen-sion of James Bove, To:iLascuola and Meyer92£erman. These individualswere first suspected by the Kansas Ci?y, Missouri Police Departmentof being the gunmen who murdered John Lazia at Kansas City on July10, 1954. Inasmuch as the bolt of the gun used in that murder hasbeen identified by the Technical Laboratory of the Division as the
sane bolt used in the gun in the Kansss City massacre, the Divisioninstituted en investigation looking toward the apprehensimn of
these individuals.
_ It has subsequently been learned that these individuals
gig ggzrgzdtitatgatncEggeazizSégggigiigfzgines§E:Cig:tv:::alsAl1ister§O'Erien. Griffin has been disposed of in a manner uknown
$233503 iiihsiiiiiié Zfei'Z;n§Z.§§Zi?.Z§'s°§'°.i§§§?==-Zf°1a.
i Ei§i§¬2 ZZJ.l§J§Z§°2Zef,.§ ii $3§§Zd§nZhi°§frf§B?-'5?-£Z,i2.
In view of recent developments, I recommend that the in-vestigation with respect to Bove, Lescuola and Barman be discontinued.Also the investigation conducted thus far with respect to these in-dividuals has thrown considerable light upon the operation of the underworld syndicate with its connections at Kansas City, Missouri, Cin-cinneti, Ohio and Cleveland, Ohio. The investigation further dis-closes that these individuals apparently have a definite connection
with the former Lazia gang at Kansas City, Missouri.
Respectfully,
W. //M92.

The ind ctment against Figgins pertains to alleged conver-
sations with B. H, . urman, former Chief of Detectives, to the effect
thrt the Yansas Ci y Kessacre Case was a Federal government case and
not a police case. Similar co versations were alleged to have been
had with Detective Charlton L. Beatty.
The indictment ag i st leppert was along similar lines
setting forth statements allege ly made by him to the effect that the
case was not a police matter and th-t the police should keep hands off.
The indictment against Rayen referred to alleged statements
recently made by him at Iichita, Tenses, shortly after one Lacapra was
shot in Kansas. Rayon allegedly stated to the local Prosecuting ittorney
and two or three other individuals at iichita, Yansas, that although
he was working for the Kansas Felice Department, he was also working
for the lendergast organization and that his first duty was to the
Pendergzst organization. Rayon denied before the Grand Jury.
Qr. athan further advised that although the Grand Jury was
originally scheduled to adjourn this evening, the session will be continued
on Yondey morning in view of the arrival in Lansas City of edam Riohetti

Dear Sir:
A few minutes ago I left h.H.Hackett, Chief of Detectives of this city
after having him tell me that he had written to the proper Federal authorities to
the effect that I was entitled to the reward offered by the Government for the
capture of Richard T;Ca1atas in New Orleans, La-, on September 22, 1954. I am

after the arrest had materialized. 5 g ik_- ~_l§__.[
I at once communicated with Sergt. Dorsey here in regard to the claim
for the Federal reward and he said his office would take care of that for me. I
presume you have received the communication from Chief Hackett and will notify
me what disposition is to be made of the matter at your convenience.
A{Liberty Hagazine also offered a reward of $1000.00 for this man and I
have ente ed my claim for that. However, there seems to be a party operating
