E. Vetterli, andprobably others; that re should obtain possession of the shotgus;that Nathan had stated he believed the shotguns belonged to Ottoteed, but he was not certain as to this information. He stated thesehotguns were in the possession of ¥rs. Reed st the present tine.questioned Mr. Cowley as to the purpose of obtaining these guns,and he stated that Gill had stated that Caffrey and Nash were shotby Reed's gun; that these guns might be used as evidence in a re-buttal of this statement. He stated that it was apparent that Gillwas working along with the Kansas City Police Departmentand onenewspaper there; that he seemed to be trying to make it hot forHilligan; th t he believed Hilligan had gotten into trouble by in-h l - th"t it was going to be difficult to convictciting t- se oeo e, e

Hayes left the two men in - 3"charge of Patterson and rushe back to Lisbon and organised a posse "»_of citizens, of whom Merle J3 Page was thsleader, and who innedietely 7-, 'rushed to the woods and prev ted any return or escape to the north, if '35- -driving Floyd in en easterly direction and resulting in his nltine-to'capture of which you know so well.

Records in th Los hngelee P lice Department show that Permit Ho.6'76 was issued to J. MiPolimer and Lihirereisen on July 1'7, 1931, for theretail sale of fire . An address as given on this permit for ldr. Polineras 410 North Crescent Heights. Investigation at this address revealed that I.E. Polimer died sometime in l935, and that his wife had remarried and was
residing at 921 South Gremercy Drive. l
Mrs. Polimsr, who is now Mrs. Desser, was interviewed and advisedthat she was the wife of the Polimer in question, and that he died in 1935;that in 1917, he conducted a retail firearms store in Loe Lngeles, but thatshe did not know where his records might be. She stated that she had separatedfrcm him a few years before his death, and that she could give no information
regarding the tracing of this pistol.
Mr. Peirereieen was contacted at 2966 Fourth avenue, Los Lngeles, andhe advised that he had been in business with I. H. Polimer since the earl! partof 1931.. He produced e book showing the sale of various pistols by Er. Polimsrand himself. In this book he also exhibited various sheets of the Iastern Sup-ply Company, which was the name of the former company conducted by Er. Polinerand himself, for the period September 25, 1929 to July S0, 1931. Examinationof these records failed to show the sale of this pistol. . A i .

He stated that he had made s very 'thorough search of these records, and that they contained no information that-ever which might lead to the tracing of this Colt pistol. -1

H. Brantley called me at 10:00 P.l. last night to advisethat Special Agents of the Oklahoma City Office had sage yesterday after-
noon at Sallisaw, Oklahoma, picked up Beulah and Ros _ airg, the paramoursof°Floyd and Richetti. I. Brantley stated that he fe these wome, if
continuously and vigorously questioned for an extended period of tine,
would be able to furnish us with a greet deal of information concerning
the activities of Floyd and Richetti during the past year. Ir. Brantley
stated that there were no facilities in Oklahoma City which would permit
the detention of these women there, and that he felt that a writ of hsbeas
corpus would be filed upon him if he attempted to hold them in Oklahoma
City. Ir. Brantley thought that he should transport these women to Chicago
and detain them there. I stated to lr. Brantley that I did not believe the
information which we might obtain from the Baird women would Justify the
expense of transporting them to Chicago, since if we did know the activities
and hideouts of Floyd and Richetti during the past year, they would be of
no value to us now, except for a possible prosecution of some individual
for harboring. After discussing this situation with you, I contacted Ir.
Cowley at Chicago and asked him for his views in the matter. He stated
that he could see no purpose in bringing the Baird wome to Chicago, since
the information obtained from them would be of little practical use to the
Division now. I requested Ir. Cowley to call Brantley and tell his that
after talking to the Division it had been decided that Brantley should
question these women to the best of his knowledge in Oklahoma City and if
threatened with a writ of habees corpus or other proceeding, to dismiss
the women from custody. "

with reference to the indictments returned against .

that it Iill be necessary to develop as strong a case as possible.
He feels that these persons will endeavor to present evidence in-
dicating that the Police Departnent was active in its efforts to
solve the mssacre, and that the Government should he ready to, _
present all possible evidence rebutting the contentions of the
defendants. He, accordingly, is desirous of having an opportunity
to confer with the representatives of the Division who Iere in
charge of our investigation during the period immediately after
the massacre in order to determine from them the extent of their
recollection concerning any conferences or negotiations had with
officials of the Kansas City Police Departnent. Hr. llilligan he-
lieves that it would be more expedient and helpful if s conference
