ther or not he had heard COCERLN mention anything about Dr, I. J;
MORAN. STRATTON was advised that the Bureau would not make any
promises to COCHRAN in order to secure any information. However,
STRA'I"1'0N prepared the following letter which is being set forth.
This letter is written on the stationery of I. I. STRUITON, Securi-
ties, 225 Broadwq, New York City, N. Y., Barclay 7-0740-1, dated
November 20, 1935, beginning Dear Frank and signed, Ls Iver, r

Er. STRLTPOH was again advised that the Bureau _ '
would not make any promises to COCHRLN; that this letter would be J
suhnitted to the proper person in charge of the investigation for "
whatever use he may want to make of it in this case. This letter, .
submitted by S'lRL'1'I0N, is being forwarded to the Chicago Office for
Hr. CONIIKIIJW for whatever use he desires to make of the same. Ir. -
STRATTON emphasized the fact that if COCERLN were approached correct-
ly, he would be able to furnish information of sane value about the
Barker-Karpis gang. However, he does not feel that COCERLH is the
type of man who would furnish the information to a federal officer
unless the federal officer has acme way to get in with COCHRLN through
a letter from some friend and, for that reason, S'I'RL'I'ION furnished the
above letter. STRLTION stated further that Ill DRLGGI, an employee
at the Air Service Company garage, Reno, Nev" might also be able to
furnish some information of value about the Barker-Karpis gang. Mr;
STRLTIDN stated that he would have furnished this information before
this time about COCHRAN and DRAG-GI, hut that he did not want the
Govermnent to get the opinion that he was trying to obtain some fa--
vors in his own case on the narcotic charge; that he gives this in- 2
formation of his free will and does not expect any favors in return --
for same. I _ c. 1 _ ' -

considerable reluctance, and as it appears that Hrs.

Reference is made to your lett6r'3f'N6vemher 50,1933
Bureau file 7-576!, requesting that I explain to the Bureau why e
surveillance of the residence of the parents of Ha1'1'5'OC8mpb011 had
not been considered prior to its initiation s few days ago, and tofurnish an expression of my opinion as to whether; did not con-
sider it dangerous procedure in interviewing Milto '1 Lett, en alleged '
contact and izxternndiary of Harry Campbell and his family.
I beg to advise you that a surveillance of the Campbell
residence at Tulsa was considered for many months prior to its
initiation, and some inquiry was made with the view to placing such
surveillance, but no person living in the inmediete vicinity of this
residence was considered one in whom we could place sufficient con-
fidence to go into their residence, save the widow of J. Earl Smith,
a deceased attorney, who is said to have been murdered by Canpbell.
Agent Hansen, from time to time, maintained s contact with Mrs. amen,
who it appears would have been eager to have furnished any information
to this Bureau concerning the alleged murder of her husband. Until
recently there was not found to be any house available for the use of
Bureau Agents in this surveillance. Mrs. Smith and her sister are said
to be in Muskogee, and probably Okmulgee, Oklahoma, most of the time.
It has not been deemed worth-while to contact them within recent weeks.
With respect to the action taken by this office in inter-
viewing Milton Lett, I discussed this matter several times with Special
Agent Hansen, and the efforts to obtain some information concerning Iett
and as to his whereabouts extended over several weeks, as will be reflect-
ed in investigative reports emanating from this office in connection with
this case, and upon due consideration I concluded that we should go for-
ward.with the interview with him, which was done, and at this time I do

not feel that any mistake has been made in approaching him. There
may be some element of risk in this procedure, but in my opinion it
is imperative that such risks be taken by us frequently in eonneotio
with our investigations. I can assure the Bureau that I did not go
into this particular phase of the case without due reflection and
consideration.
This case will continue to receive my close personal
supervision-

KIDIKAPING
Xrsfxiager of 4622 Perry Street, Denver, Colorado, called at
the Denver Bureau office and stated that she was a niece of Dr.
Joseph P. Moran, one of the subjects in this case, and said that
she had read newspaper accounts that Dr. Moran had been killed at
Toledo, Chio, and his body thrown into the lake. She stated that
she h'd not seen or heard of Dr. Moran for the past five or six
years, but that inasmuch as she was his niece, he being the youngest
brother of her father, she was interested to know whether he was
in fact dead.
Mrs. Eager was reluctant at first to furnish her name or to
give any infornation whatsoever, but did state that sometime pre-
vious to the time that the newspapers reported the death of Dr.
Moran she had heard indirectly from some of her relatives in Spring
Valley, Illinois, that Dr. Koran had fled to Cuba and had enlisted
in the Cuban army. She said that there was nothing definite what-
ever as to this report, but that she believed her relatives thought
this is what had happened to him until newspapers reported he had
been killed in Toledo. She stated that she had not seen Dr. Koran
for five or six years, the last time she had seen him was when she
had returned to Spring Valley, Illinois, to visit relatives there,
at which time she also saw Dr. Jares Moran, his brother.
' She was asked whether she believed that Dr. Moran, if he was
not deed, would probably be found in Cuba, and she replied that
she did not have any foundation on which to base her belief, but
that when she heard that he was in Cuba and hid enlisted in the, i*_-COPIES m-3." < » . . . , ' C C' I in W-I-.r_ ' _»_1._ _ ,RDED; 7fK _,3_.}>'?,iM H!'£3_:1gL5E CL-1»_ .~__¢-,4, 1--"5 <6 & Ta ,. _:' ,__ __ f. ___' ' ' ' ' / ,./ /~ - - 3 I. i ~ ' 92.l"|i1,mx./_y/'7//_,J__/92/Kdvay .92DI3lED Z

something like that, and really believed that he had gone to cube.
Mrs. Eager stated that she did not want to become involved
or have any publicity whatsoever concerning the case, and that
she had merely caled at the office to see whether she could
definitely determine to her own satisfaction that Dr. Koran was
dead. The only reason why she consented to give her name or her
address was because of the fact that she was advised that we had
no definite information at this office, but that I would be glad
to cozzunicate with her in the event that I did receive definite
information.
The writer endeavored to get Yrs. Eager to state which Of
her relatives gave her the information that Dr. Koran was supposed
to have fled to Cube, but she stated she could not recall at all
as the information was rather indefinite, an she had no idea at
this time which of her relatives she had h rd this from. She
stated that she did coizunicate with Mrs. :hapell, her aunt, in
Tabernash, Colorado.
The next time an agent is at Tebernash, Colorado, Hrs. Chapell
will be interviewed to see whether

Reference is made to the attached teletype message which I
anticipated would be directed to the Chicago office. My reason for re-
questing the investigation contained therein is as follows:
4,,_ During the time that I prepared the above entitled case for
trial at St. Paul, Eiinnesota, the United States Attorney suggested that
ner.-s iterzs appearing in the Chicago papers relating to the Bremer case
be obtained and that the name and address of the proper person who
.. could introduce such papers be s cured so that these news items couldbe introduced showing that "Boss?§_I.§c_Laughlin had knowledge oi the Bremer92 kiduaping . ~_ "-_7
92 recall that newspaper articles were used during the trial
- of Evel3.' :rec1-xette in the Dillinger case in St. Paul. I was not present
during the course of that trial and do not know the manner in which they
were intro uced but I do know that they were used. It appeared to me thatit would reasonable to believe the Court wyd insist that the Govern-
ment pro ace a witness who could introduce th ;Ia_§_te_r__Qe;t_ective_!5lagazine
aid the .:t_a__;_tlj.n;; Deteciiye 3§Byg?_-tine, at the see time testifying that M
such magazines were true, correct and exact copies of those which were
published distributed throughout the United States and were identical
with the CO_;iES which were read by I£yrtleo';.a1:Qr;,, It is observed thatthese rnagazénes contained information to the effect that Myrtle Eaton
and Willi:-.111 ..ealr_e_r_were wanted in connection with the Bremer kidnaping

With reference to your inquiry concerning the tt1z;£" "'"""'
addressed to the Chicago Office in this case, in which information
is requested as to the identity of a person co petent to testiy as/t2,, to the publication of the March issue of th daste£_Petective Magazine,
and who can produce a true and correct copy of this magazine in Courtand similar information concerning the September issue oli%tg.rjtlin,g_
l Detective Magazine, you are advised that this informatio was re-
quested"to"include in a summary being prepared for the use of the
Criminal Division in rewritinv the indictment, chs;-gigg ug,-ml? Eaton, _with the h b in r i?illia1§5"'eaver in Florid . -»1" f"gal °k H h i tir the su rvisor re in s te etype l _n _ To C11 6! pe P par y~ 6],; '92'|[ :];informed me yesterday afternoon that he considere "it desirable to" ' '"

the Criminal Division or the United States Attorney desire to introduce __
these magazines. The purpose of introducing these magazines is to --» "
establish that Myrtle Eaton had knowledge of the'fugitive'status of '"'William Weaver, during the time that she resided with him in Floridt,
and investigation discloses that she had read in_§h&HméE§zines_in- {t¬§P'dicated articles concerning the fugitivity of William Weaver. I §§~!
accordingly authorized Supervisor Hclntire to inquire of the Chicgo
Office concerning the identity of the persons competent to testiy
concerning these magazines. Upon being informed that you questioned
the necessity for this teletype, I instructed Hr. Mclntire to prepare
his summary of the evidence available against lyrtle Eaton in such a
manner that it would be indicated that Hyrtle Eaton had read these
.magazines which contained articles concerning William Weaver's being
a fugitive, giving the date and name of the magazine, together with
information available to show that Myrtle Eaton had read these
magazines and let the United States Attorney determine how he would
introduce these magazines in evidence, stating that if necessary,
after the Criminal Division had reviewed the summary of the evidence,-
we could then ascertain the name of a person competent to introducand identify copies of these magazines. Hr. McIntire's handling 0?
this matter was entirely at my direction. q »*

Dear Sir: s RE: BREKID _
four .45 caliber copper alloy Jacket ullets, appropriately packed
for shipment, to be submitted to the echnical Laboratory for ballistic
examination.
These four bullets were ed with an "1' Deputy SheriffClarence/Qereh of the office of thzjgheriff, Arnold sch, Wood County,
Bowling Green, Ohio. These bullets were recovered the car of
Deputy Sheriff Harsh, who advised that at about 5:30 P. H. on November 25,
1935 four men occupying a 1934 model Ford V8 sedan, while approaching a
barracade at the intersections of highways 64 and 65 near Bowling Green,
Ohio, at which point Deputy Sheriff Marsh and Constable Gole were search-
ing automobiles for illegal possession of game, drove up to this point
and suddenly backed their car at a high rate of speed to a point where
they could turn around, and fled in a northerly direction. Deputy
Sheriff Marsh and Constable Cole immediately followed this car, and
at a point some distance away, at which time the officers were about
to overtake this car, some one broke out the rear window of the fleeing
Ford sedan and fired at the officers car, puncturing the radiator and
left rear tire. The officers believed the fire to have originated from
a machine gun.There are being forwarded géaghe Bureau under separate cover
Witnesses to the incident said that the men occupying this
car appeared to be individuals approximately thirty years of age.
However, no identification of the wanted fugitives in the above captioned
case could be made due to the failure of any of the witnesses to closely
scrutinize the men.

Agent again contacted the Reverend Cernauskas with '- *
reference to the scholastic record of Vaitkus while he attended 4
the All Saints elementary school the priest produced this record,
and on examination of same it was disclosed that Vaitkus' correct
name is Anthony Vaitkevicius, and that he was born in Chicago,
Illinois, on June 26, 1909; that his father's name is martin ~j
Veitkevicine, and that at the time Veitkus attended school there
he resided at 155 East 107th Street, Chicago; that he graduated 1
in June, 1924. Ho scholastic marks were observed on this card;
and in this connection Reverend Cernauskas stated that he does
not believe that this record could be located as they usually are
destroyed when they are more than ten years old. With respect
to the difference in the name of the young man es noted above,
Reverend Cernauskos advised that it is not unusual for Lithuanian
people to shorten their names to make them easier to pronoucs;_-
that this shortening of a name is legal, and is very commonly a -
done by people who have nanes which are difficult to pronounce,
At this time Reverend Cernauskas permitted Agent to
examine his Baptismal Record Book, and it was noted therein that
Vaitkus under the name or Anthony Vaitkevicius was born in "-
Chicago, Illinois, on June 26, 1909,

tered in a four-year technical course, end received an everege'

increase, and believed that he should have received at least I
$5.60 per week raise. Mr. Schroll did not grant Vaitkus' re~
quest for s $5.00 increase, and from that time until lby'16, 1931,
Veitkus' attitude towards his work changed considerably, and hej
was always surly and apparently greatly dissatisfied. On Ely 16,
