Qr.;
oover said that he understood from Hr. Purvis at Chicago - in regardto this Lindbergh kidnaping case - that a man who belongs to the Purple Gag;
in Detrit 
med GOW  Scotty{Cow is his name ~ supposed to have ;esided .
at various times in Detroit and has a sister by the name of Betty92Gon who ;f
is presumably a nurse in the Lindbergh home, at least that is therame of
the nurse. Hr. Hoover said he had communicated this information to Col.
Schwartzhopf who is commanding the State Police; it is not known whether
Gow girl in Lindbergh hone is the sane one, but the information from Chicago
is that Scotty Cow has been a member of the Purple Gang for a long time
and his sister is about 28 years of age; 5&#39; 4%" in height; weighs 120 pound
medium complexion and her occupation is that of a private nurse and it kind
of fits in to the picture of the girl at the Lindbergh home. This informa-
tion given to us by a man named Art:ur1Candler, who is working in Chicago at
cresent, but at one time was employed as an investigator by the Henry Ford
i Ibtor Company at Detroit working under a man by the name of Harry&#39;Bennett Er. Reinecke said he knew him and that he was Chief of Police ofy
he Ford
Company - and Hr. Hoover asked hr. Reinecketo find out about Candler from
Bennett if he could, we want to handle this matter very confidentially, don&#39;t
give out any information on it but we want to get a line as to who Candlerfh
and his make-up. Candler claims he was fired by the Ford Company because
he obtained some information about the Ford Conpany and was also a friend of
Gow and about 1% years ago when he was in Detroit he went to see Goa to
endeavor to recover some property which had been in the possession of Gow
which had been stolen from the commissary of the Highland Park Ford Company r
plant and either the Purple Gang had done it orCandler had been mixed up . M
in it, it is not very clear; while in Cow&#39;s house Betty Got came in and he t
saw her, that is where he got her description.
ir. Hoover said he would like to get a line on Scotty Cow, who he is and ~
anything about him you can find out; also anything you can find out about ;
Candler. Mr. Hoover said the only associates of Scotty Gow known to
Candler was a man by the name ofagitzpatrick, whose father is Captain in
the Palmer Park Police - Hr. Beinecke said probably Palmer Park Police 1
Precinct  and a man named girpo who is also a Detroit policeman. Er. Hoover
said it might be a wild sort of lead. The N. J. Police Commander has been
advised so he can check up on it at the Lindbergh home. Find out all
you can about Scotty Cow and anything on the Sister and ask Bennett, if he
is reliable, to find out shat he knows about Candler.
ir.Reinecke said that lest summer he made the acquaintance of a pretty good
informant in toe underworld who is pretty well acquainted with the Purple *§a
Gang and inquired if he should take him into his confidence, that is so far *
as to question him about Scotty Gow. Er. Hoover said he th
ught §e °%d
that hé;inought it would be perfectly O. K.; to be very careful and would. . - - -- - r rdo it not indicating along the Linobéréh Case bbt IBQICBPIBE as t° 5°Pet°§§&#39;

L f92mr. Hoover called regarding the G0: matter and So
e others.
Check at Detroit developed that original informant was investigator in Detroit
c and his reputation is good for integrity and veracity; Scottyy
ow, according to
information in Detroit, is now in Scotland and according to Detroit information
was not at any time arrested nor to their knowledge ever connected with the
;FUrple Gang; nor did he have a sister but his wife had a sister by the name
of Betty[Burre1. After getting that the informant in hhicago was confronted
with this information and he stated he still maintains that the woman whoa he
saw in Scotty Gowfs home was Scotty Gem&#39;s sister because he was introduced to
her by Scotty Gowts wife as Betty;Gow and also claims that he knows that
1 Scotty Gow was tied in with the Purple Gang and was acting more or less as a

Q _ hr. Hoover asked if the Colonel had a photograph of the nurse in the Lind-
? bergh home and whether he could send it on so the Bureau could send it to
&#39; Chicago in order to see if the man could identify the picture. The Colonel
said he could do that. .
5 Lnother anrle is this. The e resides in Washington a family named Suter, - DJ. they are the parents of Ann;5uter, an actress, who is rather well known actress
J; ._  . . .;, has been playlR5 on Broadway at times and is at present in England; sometime ago
i she gotinto the hands of some blackmailers and amangcthe blakmailers was a manl namedaanoel, the same name of the man who claims to own the car you found there
in Jersey; the significant thing aboutitis that the papers down here-printed
the ransom note and the Suters had some papers in their possession from a man
whom this nnn éuter knew, a steward on the boat coming over from Europekyithher and with whom she became involved and who introduced her later t
iyheseblackmailers among whom was Mandel; the printing on the photograph o" iillar 92
which they have corresponds in some degree to the printing on one of these
 ransom notes, the one that was mailed from Newark that said "baby safe"; one
i of the Government expertshas examined the newspaper reproduction and the
original which the Suters gave the Bureau and there is some marked similarity
found and he also found some differences. Hr; Hoover asked if the N. J.
authorities had photographic copy of the note that was mailed from Newark
, as it would be better for the expert to look that over. No photographs have
* been taken of that. The Colonel asked if a photostatic copy would be sent
of what the Bureau had..-

Candler, 1414 Winnemac Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, telephone
Edgewater 3931, called at this office on Earch 3, 1932, and
stated that he had some information which might possibly be of
some assistance in the apprehension of the kidnappers.
Mr. Candler was interviewed by Special Agent 3. P.
Guinane, and he furnished the following information:
Mr. Candler related that up to about one aig one-halt
years ago he was employed as an investigator for the ord Motor
Company in Detroit, Michigan, with offices at the Highland Park
Plant, working under the direction or Mr. Harry Bennett; that he
noticed in the newspaper accounts of the kidnapping of Charles
Lindbergh, Ir. that the name of the nurse for the Lindbergh baby
was Betty Cow. He stated that he recognized this name immediately
as being the same name of a party involved in a case which he
had handled at Detroit, Michigan,_whi1e employed by the Ford
Motor Company. In this connection, he stated that approximately
one and one-halt years ago, he had traced some merchandise which

Mr. Candler described Betty Gov as follows:

Height - 5&#39;45»
Weight - 120 lbs.
Complexion - Medium
Eyes - Color unknown
Hair - uolor unknown
Occupation - Private nurse, out of employment at 1hat time,
Mr. Candler further stated that the only associates of
Scott! Gow at that tim that he knows of were Fitzpatrick  first
Home unknown}, whose father was Captain or the Palmer Park Police
Station in Detroit, Michigan, and Firpo  first name unknown].
LL! Mr. Candler stated that Scotty Gow was s member or the
£amcu-~.arp1§_$eng which terrorized Detroit several years, and that
he thought there might be a possibility that Betty Cow, sister of
Sootty Gow, is the nurse for the Lindbergh baby, and if so, there
is some possibility that scotty Gow and some of his associates might
have some connection with the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby.
Mr. Candler stated that his connections with the Ford
Motor Company were severed about one and one-halt years ago, be-
cause he had secured some important information involving some high
officials of the Ford Company, and that he "knew too much" and his
services were therefore discontinued. &#39;
Mr. Candler stated that he had Just made connections with
the Mickelberry Food Products Company, and that he was to leave in
the next day or so one selling trip into Northern Michigan.
Mr. Candler stated that he did not believe that Scotty Cow
was prosecuted for stealing the merchandise in the case which he in-
vestigated. He stated that he merely obtained information on the
case and then turned whatever information he had obtained over to
Mr. Bennett, head investigator of the Ford Motor Company, and that
generally no one would know what disposition Ins made, as the Ford
Motor Company would take its own notion» MI- Can

i.i.-5.-1.that Scotty Cow had been an employee of the Ford Motor Company at
the Highland Perk plant, and had worked in the Commissary Depart-
msnt, and that by rsasan of his connections in the Commissary,
he obtained copper fittings and other material made of copper,
and turned these materials over to the members of the Purple Gang.
subsequent to my telephone conversation with you yesterday
I arranged to have Mr. Candler again call at this office, and he did
so late yesterday afternoon, and furnished the following information:
Betty Cow was in Detroit between eighteen and twenty months
ago, looking for work. Mr. Candler has never seen her before or
since that time. The manner in which Mr. Candler learned that Betty
Cow was Scotty Gow&#39;s sister, is that at the time when Candler went
to Scotty Cow&#39;s house, Mrs. Gow, the wife of scotty, said "I hope
there is nothing wrong with Scotti. he are having lots of trouble
now. He has been pretty sick lately, and we&#39;ve got his sister here
with us now." Candler saw the girl who was designated as Betty,
and asked her how she liked Detroit. She stated she didn&#39;t like
it at all. Candler is unable to remember where Betty said she was
from. He cannot be sure whether it was from Ecotland or Ireland,
but she gave him the impression that she was from one of these
countries, or from a small town, due to the fact that she was not
apparently a wide awake or flapper type of girl. She did not have

In addition to the description above given, Mr. Candler
stated that he could not definitely state the color of Betty GoI&#39;s
hair, adding that it was not black, and neither was it blond. It
was not of a striking color either way, although it might have been
dark brown. He did not state as to the color of her eyes. She was
of medium build, and he thinks she did not wear glasses.
A description of Scott! Cow is as follows: Dark! °I1¥
hair, sharp face, shrewd eyes, color unknown, height 5&#39;7" Or 3":
weight between 140 and 145 pounds, clean shaven. Hie actions are
quick and nervous. Candler&#39;s impression is that Scotty Cow&#39;s eyes
are very dark, but cannot say defin1te1y- H6 H1WBY8 KBQPB hieyes squinted. Scott! 5° usually °5rr1°5 3 Park°rc:en Znzmzznciéeset in his pocket, and is suPP°3°d *° 5° an insuran Haggai a nice

Mr. Candlers story is that he was employed by the Ford
Motor company in the Service Department, which is really the secret
Service of Police Department of the Ford Motor Company, and that he
usually worked alone, whereas most of the other men worked in pairs.
For about too years e grart had been practiced on the Ford Motor
Company, at its Commissary on Manchester and toodwerd Avenues,
Detroit, and the officials, of course, wanted it stopped. In line
with his general duties, Hr. Candler had been instructed to look
out for Scotty Gow

went on upstairs. I waited three hours and finally he came out.
I stopped both of them and told them they would be arrested; that
I was going to take them to the station. They said "Don&#39;t do
that, we&#39;ll bring the goods back. We&#39;ve given half of it to
the girls in there. They went in and took the lingerie, oxfords,
and hosiery away from the girls. The rest of the goods was still
in the oar. They brought back this merchandise to the plant, and
left it on my desk. I called up the boss and told him what had
happened and he said "Go out and get the rest they have been taking
for the past year."
"They refused to have anything more to do with me, but said
it they would send another mn over they would give him as much of
the merchandise as they could possibly get beck. The other fellow
went over and got another sedan load of fountain pen sets, lingerie,
silks, Oxfords and shoes, etc. The next evening this other man
asked me to go with him to Scotty Gow&#39;s house. I went over to
Scotty Gow&#39;s house in Royal Oak, Michigan, a town adjacent to
Detroit._ We went in the front way. His wife and another girl who
turned out to be Scotty Gow&#39;s sister were sitting in the dining
room. Scotty Gow was supposedly in bed, sick. We went into the
bedroom to find out how much other merchandise Scotty Cow had, but
before going into the bedroom this other man went in and asked me
to sit out there tor awhile till he talked to scotty Gow. This
man&#39;s name is Vaness. While sitting in the dining room I asked
Mrs. Gow how everything was, and she gave me the answer set out

"The possible connection is that Scotty Gow was connected
with the Purple Gang, because the Gang could dispose of this pro-
perty. and it is Possible that Scotty Gow obtained some or this
property and had it disposed of by the Purple Gang.
"Gow put a man on each crib to watch it, that is cribs
°f babbitt. Virgin tin and copper, which was in ingots of 100 pounds
each. The man that is put on that crib to watch it is a favored
man, as it is an easy job. Gow calls him off, and tells him to
go on a beat orcome to the office. While he is away from the
crib, that gives Gow time to take a truck over and load it, or
have it loaded. These trucks invariably go out of the Oakland
Street gate. The trucks belong to the Ford Motor Company, with
the tags taken off. These tags, which identify the trucks as Ford
Motor Company vehicles, could be taken oft by the garage man, or
Gow could unscrew the tags himself. The truck would then take
this merchandise down to one of the Junk dealers that keep their
big kettles hot

i - office space at the Ford Motor ilompany in the office of the
official in charge of the soecelled secret Service Department of
 -the Ford Motor Company. Incidentally, Candler stated that the
 name "Secret service" was changed to the Service Department, at
the time of the Ford-Sapiro suit, due to an article criticizing
Ford, which was written by Arthur Brisbane. Candler believed
that La Marr was at one time the head of the Purple Gang; at
least they carried out his instructions. The ostensible reason
for La Kerr&#39;s occupying office space in the office of the head
, of the Service Department, was because La Marr furnished the
 i _i Bord Motor Company with all the produce purchased by them and
A. sold through their Commissaries. Candler believes, however,
V &#39; that the real reason for his being in that office was protection,
at "&#39; this office being the safest place for him in Detroit..»
; To summarize this matter as nearly as possible, I would
&#39; say that the alleged connection of Scotty Gov with the Purple Gang
~ was by reason of his ability to dispose of_misappropriated goods
&#39; &#39; from the Ford motor Company, through the Purple Gang;

_§ a road trip for his sausage company but that he would make arrange-

If any additional information is obtained here I will
immediately commnicate it to you.

if
I f_J; Mr. Hoover said check made at Detroit and it was ascertained that Scotty
_ Eon not in Detroit but in Scotland; so far as been able to find never at
any time connected with the underworld. Er. Purvis said he got the man
n a way through the Ford Motor Company; that Scotty Gow worked for the  gate last night and told how Scotty Gow was connected with thekPurp1e Gang
92 92

1ord dotor Company and he was in charge of about 60 men of the Secret
Service of the Ford Company and also had to guard a place where a lot of
raw materials were stored and these raw materials were stolen and taken
out of the Ford company from time to time and they were disposed of,
according to Candler, by the Purple Gang; Scotty Cow got them and gave
them to the Purple Gang to dispose of; he says he realizes his proof is
indefinite but in his own mind he realizes and knows that he is mixed up
with the Purple Gang.

r. Hoover briefly stated the facts regarding Scott? Gow as ascertaied
from Detroit. In _ way Q a -,_"rIr. Purvis said that the wayJCandler knew that this Betty is the sister
of Scott; Goa is that when the wife of Scotty Cow introduced him she said
that Petty was the sister of&#39;Scotty. When he was talking with Betty he -
asked her how she liked Detroit. She said she did not like it at all.
She did not say where she was from, whether Scotland or Lreland, or where.

r. Hoover asked if r. ?urvis had seen any pictures of the Bettyp
ow,
nurse in New Jersey, in any of the Chicago papers. Mr. Purvis_said they
have not been printed there. Mr. Hoover said some had been recently taken
and he ws:ld see if he could not have some sent to r. Purvis so he could
check them with Candler to see if they are one and the same woman. Mr.
Purvis said he would keep in touch with Candler. Mr. Hoover said that is
right and tell him not to talk to anyone else. He asked 
r. Purvis last
night not to let the Ford Company know about this thing. r. Hoover said
we will not, of course. That will be taken care of all right. &#39;
if said Ir. oover there is any more information to give him a line on it.

who is himself a pilot by occupation, had been in Lfiazni, Florida, about six .
months a o and while in a conversation wdth several people, and in the presenceotwhad made the statem e thought that the Lindbergh baby 0won e a good child to kidzmp.  adviacd that he thought nothing more
of the incident until e v when he cc aed that this intonation might be ofsome help in this case edvieed that 
orthinig also had a friend, whoaname hegid Iyt reracnber, u w ... he thought Ias new in Hexico, who was mixed
up in L. nil obbeq in Caliiornia a few years ago, and that he had given this
inforzn ion o Ii:-. E. G. Allen, Post Office Inspector, 1.-Jami, Florida, ch d

Inspector Carmody advised that on Earch 23, 1932, he
transmitted to Colonel H. N. Schwarzkopf, of Trenton, New
Jersey, full infonmation concerning the names, addresses and
records of all known extortionists and kidnapers operating in
the Detroit District. It is suggested that nr. Schwarzkopf be

compile this information. He further stated that in addition

Deer Sir: Depertnent of Justicevj Washington, 13.0. d
with reference to my report dated May 27, 1932 which covers the
interview with P. Milton
Geglio and refers to John Jitaeuenmieeter
and aliases; also report of Agent Turrou, dated Hey 28, 1932 which -
covers interview with Josephigerrone as to his possible identification
of Beuermiester as being the party "John" who contacted John F1*Condon,
it being noted that Perrone railed to identify hum, I em enclosing ¢
herewith to the Bureau copies of the pictures of Bauenniester, Jamesfhelly and Arthur E.¥§erdy, who were involved with Bsuenniester st onetune, which were efh bited to Perrone; also s collective picture of
the various members of the so-celled Purple Gang in Detroit, it being
noted that in previous reports it is indicated that Joe Tocco is reputednot to be e manber of the,¬urple Gang. Possibly th Bureau would care
to refer copies offthe rep rte in question to the Stete Police, withthe copies of the éictures previously above referred to, as it ispossible that theéhmight care to exhibit these pictures to John F.
Condon, we not having contacted Condon for reason that we are not
familiar with the situation es to the manner in which Condon is being
handled at this time in connection with the investigation being con-ducted by the New Jersey State Police. 92}!,P§L!MM] _,1-F4 x

NEW YORK, June 15_~I5a_13]-1,I-e9b°"e5 Practice has been almost
Entirely with racketeerg and gun-
men in New York and he did a
great deal of work for Arnold Roth-
Bi
ili. who was murdered in the!Park Central Hotel in November,1928.
Leebove was born in Pittsburgh,
Nov. 27, 1394. His right name is
supposed to be Isador Leebove. He
graduated from Cumberland Uni-,
varsity, Lebanon, Tenn., with the:degree of bachelor of law, and wenti
to Texas, where he practiced law.
Later he practiced in Oklahoma,
and then moved on to New York.
He arrived here with an appar-
ently unlimited supply of money,
popularly said to have been made
in Oklahoma oil deals. His name
was soon prominently associated
with those or underworld char-
acterq.
Called Gangsters Mouthpiece
Soon he became known as the,
"mouthpiece" of racketeers and
gangsters. So strong was he that
many held him to be the successor
of the isle Wiiliani Fallon, known
in his time as the greatest mouth-
piece" New York crooks had ever
had.
Leehove went everywhere with
Rothsiein and ws among _t_h_e__
regular patrons or Lindy&#39;s Restau-
rant, from which Rothstein was
called by telephone to his suite inthe&#39;Parl-t Central before he W85
shot. Not long before Roth
teill
was killed, he and Leebove had an
argument.Apparently he made a great-
arnount of money out ot_friend-
ship with Rothsteln, recelving a
$40,000 fee from a New YOTR 1-1111011
to defend two men accused Of
murder in a strike which W8-8

nanced with a loan by Rothieirh
Leebove was friendly with Roth-
st.ein&#39;s associates and 01169 118 W0"
$60,000 in a dice game with Nick-
the Greek, perhaps Broadway!
best known gambler. After Roth-
stcii-is death, Leebove was the law-
yer for Nick, Alvin C. Thomas, Sid-
ney Stajer and Jimmy Meehan,who were held for a time as ma-
tcrial witnesses. Meehan ran the
.irtmous revolving poker game
"which is supposed to have been the
icause of Rothstein&#39;s killing.
Rushed to Aid ot Legs
Always anxious to see his name
in the newspapers, Leebove was
ready to defend any gangster in
difficulties. When "L985" DIE-T1l°lid
was wounded near his home in
Acra, Green County, Leebove raced
up from New York and announced
that he was Diamond; attorney&#39;-
although Diamond had not asked
;or one. He had, however._re_p.13-i .
isented Diamond before and ll-tau,
on occasion, Owney Madden.
The information here is that Lee-
bove is working ,with Frederick
Kaplan, another New York lawyer,
now in Detroit, who is seeking to
obtain pardons from the Governor.
Kaplan is said to have occupied
oitices with Leebove at 521 Fifth
Ave. In the latest telephone book
and City Directory, Leebove still
lists that address as his oice.
Kaplan was reported as having
been retained by Rothsteln to de-
fend Charles Fnwcett, who was ac-
cused of holding up s. coffee pot in
the Bronx. Magistrate Albert_Vi-
tale dismissed the charge, although
two persons had identi
ed Fawcett
as the robber. This was one of the
charges that led to Vltsle&#39;s removal
by the Appellate Division. Another
was that he had borrowed $20,000
from Rothstein.
In Mysterious Accident .
Five or six years ago, Leebove
was attorney for two men held in
Connecticut for a crime in New
York. He went up to Connecticut
with the two detectives assigned to

turn trip he is supposed to have run
his car in a ditch, one of the de-
tectives being injured seriously. One
of the prisoners escaped. A detec-
tive hold on to the other.
The ies show that in 1026 Lee-
bove was involved in a hit-and-run
accident at Newington, Conn, in
which Mrs. Arthur L. Young was
killed. He and his chauffeur. Rufus
Wood, o Negro, were held in $15,000
hail Bach on charges of reckless
driving, manslaughter and evading
responsibility after an accident.
Loebove and the chauffeur had been
arrested soon after the accident
as they were riding through Meri-
don. Leebove said he drove off he-

iclause witnesses shouted, "Lynch

Leebove was famous here for the
lengths to which he would go in de-
fense of clients wanted by the po-
lice. His dispute with Mgistrate
Hyman Bushel was characteristic
of him.
The trouble with the Magistrate
came rlurnig the hearing of a
swindiing charge against Dapper
Den Collins, con
dence man. Col-N
lins was charged with having
eeccd an Egg Harbor man out oi
$30,000 and the State of New Jersey
wanted him. Magistrate Bushel or-
dered Coilins held in jail without
bail. Leebove argued against. it
and grew so arrogant that the
Magistrate put him in the deten-
tion pen and kept him there for an
hour.
A Threat; and an Apology
When released, Leebove breathed

ILANSING June 15Isaiah Lee-l
~told Rep. Ate Dykstra. hove, financial "angel" of Gov. Com-
stocic&#39;s campaign, dropped his mys-
tery role Thursday to tell the House
Lobby Investigating Committee that
he never bad attempted to inuence
the "springing" of Ray Bernstein,
Harry Keywell and Irving Miiberg,|,sentenced from Detroit to Mar-l,
quetie Prison for iife for the Col
iingwood Avenue massacre.
The charge had been entered on
the records a few minutes earlier
by Senator Ray Derham, of Mar-~quette County, that Leebove, on hie
survey of prisons, and Edward N.

The witness testified that he hadbeen in Michigan four or

Chairman Lawrence O&#39;Neil ob-
served that public charges had

"That&#39;s a tough question. It phone call, had attempted to prevail
on Warden James Corgan, of the!
prison, to grant a private interview
with these prisoners to Fred Kap-
lan, a New York lawyer friend of-
Leeboves.
 "Kaplan was in Marquette when
"I got there, had been there three
or tour: days, and told me he was
interested in these so-called Purple
Gangsters," Leebove testified.

&#39; Leebove proved an alert witness.

The witness and Rev. Dykstrn
clashed heateclly when Dykgtl-51
asked hi-i given name and whether
henhad defended Roll-sstein.Those questions are foolish.It&#39;s "a damn bad policy to bring a
man in here that hasn&#39;t been ac.

Naughty 92Vords Deplore
"And that&#39;s mighty bad language
3&#39;0u&#39;le using." Dykstra replied. A
moment later he added: You

not my purpose, I.-lcebove an-
lwered.
I can&#39;t conceive of any bene
t
I could get. from aflecture by a
nmn like you." Dykstra retorted.
Prior to the appearance of the
witness Dykstrs. had said:
L want to make it clear that I
believe Gov. Comstock is high pur-
posed and well-meaning. But I
think he is in bad company. Re-
posing of power in the hands of
a ganster lawyer is not serving the
best interests of the State, and I
think the Governor&#39;s attention
should be called to it publicly. so
he may find some way to break
away.
As the hearing broke up, Dyicstra
still insisted that the witnes had
refused to answer his question.
Danes the Queeirionor
The only question I objected
to was that concerning my maiden
name, and I even answered that,"
Leebove declared. "I understand
you are a good Christian and aw,
churchmen. I dare you to raise
your right hand and swear this
inquiry has nothing political about
it. There is not s. thing on your
mind you can ask me about that I
won&#39;t answer. I dars you to ask
me any question."
Dykstra insisted that time would
not permit resumption of the at-
tempt.
While Leehovs _did not ai&#39;l&#39;irm the
accuracy of a newspaper article
purporting to reveal New York
underworld connections, he said
that there was nothing in it that
reected on his character or
charged improper acts, except that
he had defended a lot of unfor-
tunates, often without fee.
if Mr. Smith  Councilman John
W. Smith, of Detroit! reaily wanted
to 
nd out," he said, he would
have learned that much oi my life
I have been associated with people
in trouble. Yet since he was 20
years old he has been e. ward of the
public purse."
Callaghan Tries It
Dykstra 
nally abandoned his!
questioning at the hearing and toldi
the chairman that the witness hadl
refused to answer. Rep. Miles M.
Callaghan. 
rst summoned as a
witness and later accepted as an
unofficial interrogator for the com-
mittee, made more headway. Loe-
bove is a constituent in Callaghan&#39;s
district.IThe witness admitted spending
between $6,000 and $7,000 on Corn-
stock&#39;s 193&#39;.! campaign, when it was
hopeless, and perhaps $15,000 on
the 1932 campaign. I-Its Wayne
County campaign report had ac-counted ior $9,000.
"I&#39;m interested in good govern-
ment and nave cornpiete faith in
Gov. Comstocif. he ventured.
I&#39;ve given a few paltry dollars
and they make it big fuss over it.
That contribution was solely out of
friendship _1&#39;or Comsir~:k."I
l
l&#39; _ Q: {J
Describes Prison Survey
The witness described in detail
his survey oi prisons, and explained
that he had volunteered his serv-
ices, without cost, when Gov. Com-
stocit mentioned his own inability
to 
nd time to act. He spent five
or six weeks on the survey, he re-
vealed. It was carefully explained
to all prison employees that no
threats were involved in their vol-
untarily agreeing to salary adjust-
ments because of the Stats! 
nan-,
cial plight. l
Leebovs professed to know noth-~
ing about the replacing of 35 Jack-
eon Prison employees a few days"
after his survey was completed. 
The name of Lee Garvin, Mar-,
quette attorney. 
gured in the Kap-I
Ian negotiations. He had introducedRm-an in 92KTnrr1:|n f"nro&#39;uv92 f n 1-n  _ nr a  -__.r-...- _.. .-M en... _-nay... svs n an
tainer, Leebove asserted.
"Kaplan told me he represented
the so-called Purple gangsters. It
I should tell you what he actuaiiy
said, I know it will sound like
something political.He told me: These boys are
hers because of one of the worsti
frame-ups I&#39;ve ever heard oi. Harry
S. Toy, the prosecutor, of Wayne-
County, is responsible! He knew
they were not guilty, yet he p&!_v_
tieipated in their conviction because
he saw political advantage accru-
ing to him thereby."&#39;
Asked About Inuence Used
"Did you use any undue inuencein asking the warden to permit;
Kaplan to interview these prisoners.
privately?" Callaghan asked. 1
I did not. The entire episode
is just a silly situation. I might
say further that I don&#39;t think your
committee is honest or conscien-
tious in asking those questions." 
Leebove was asked about the road
built in front of his home in Clare.
"I wonder where Smith  Council-
man Smith! thought I ought to
live. in a swan-in or in the Ever-
glades? I have never petitioned
for that road, never talked to any-
one about it nor used any inuence
in obtaining it. That is a part or
what "is known as the Taft High-
way, and is a part ot the State pro-
gram." he replied.
Senator Derham, lacking names
and circumstances which Leehove
later supplied, had introduced the
subject of the springing of the
Purple gangsters and insisted
that Loebove was reported to have
appealed to Warden Corgan to per-
mit a private interview between,
Kapl.-in and his inmate clients. l
Dcrharn insisted that corrobor-l
atory evidence would be produced.
by Corgan and by Edward Frens-1
dorf, whom he stated _had made a-
similar appeal over the long-dis-
tance telephone. Both have been&#39;
summoned as witnesses. lL . .

<Cal-ls Charge Too Broad
Derham said that he thought the
.ntimation that L-eebove "had taken
over the State Government" was too
broad, but did think that he exer-
cisod considerable inuence.
The Leebove survey had disrupted
the morale of prison personnel,
Derham testiiied.
Derham, s. lawyer, said that the
Governor has no authority to send
a private citizen as an unoiliciei
missary to survey prisons.Here is a man who has defend-
ed the second most notorious gang-
ster in the United States, and
prison employees paraded before
him for salary adjustments.
Any attorney who defends and
represents a client of the type or
Legs Diamond is entitled to can-
sure and is not a good citizen."
Derham sponsored the Senate
resolution requesting a grand jury.
directed by Supreme Court Justice
Howard Weist, to inquire into lob-
bying and bribe charges.
Metzger Takes Stand
Samuel T. Metzger, agricultural
commissioner, was certain that Lee-
bove had not inuenced to the
lightest degree the appointmentsin his department.
He was equally certain that no
collections that might be regarded
as compulsory Democratic Party
iribute_&#39; are permitted. Voluntary
contributions are acceptable, he
said, explaining that all appoint-ments are on recommendation of
the Democratic State organization.
Meizger admitted that he had
more than a passing interest in
the pending pari-rnutucl racing
legislation, but explained that it
was actuated by his desire to see
the State reap the revenue avail-
able from this direction. The so-
cailed Metzger bill. introduced In
the Senate by Senator Claude B.
Root, was in fact brought to Lan-
sing by a man named Dowiing, of
Owosso, Metzger said.
8890.000 Is Scented
Proffers oi contracts were avail-
able which would net Michigan
$6,596 a day for 69 days or racing
this season and 100 days next sea-
son at the State Fairgrounds in
Detroit, Meizger said. He told the
Committee that only one of those
offers was in writing, but that the
others had been made orally by re-
sponsible persons. He said ihat he
knew oi! no Leebove interest in
racing. _ ,_

IMetzger was hazy on the details
of the sale of a car of potatoes
to Kalamazoo State Hospital by the
Leonard, Cross & Riley commission
house, or Greenvilis, headed by his
son Thomas. He agreed that Kala-
mazoo producers undoubtedly could
supply the hospital cheaper thanthe Greenville concern. but he
doubted whether there were suiti-
cicnt potatoes available for imme-rilalns i-Istllei-lav-so in ska I n1nrnn&#39;znr| unv-us ucuvun; In I-alq 4.. ------ 92--vv
vicinity. He denied any personalconnection with this 
rm.
With a Friday adjournment limit-
ing the time 0! the hearing, a night
session was ordered to hear John
L. Lovett, of the Michigan Manu-
facturers Association; Edward N.
Frensdort and others. The prison
wardens are expected Friday from
Marquette and Jackson.
Search has failed to disclose the
whereabouts ot Constantine A.
 Teeny! Daniels, wanted for ques-,
tioning in connection with Senator
Edward B. McKenna&#39;s "
xing-i&#39;or-
life" bribe charges, and it is doubt-
ful whether he will be available be-
fore the adjournment.
Toy Denies Kaplan Charge
That Conviction Was Unfair
Prosecutor Toy read the charge
which Leebove said that Kaplan
made against him.
"These men were convicted be-
-fore Judge Van Ziie, he declared.
"They had two eminently capable
trial lawyers to defend them, Rod-
;-iey Baxter and Edward Kennedy.
None of them took the stand in his
own defense.
"After their conviction they ap-
pealed, and the Supreme Court of
the State 0! Michigan held that
they had been given a fair trial and
sustained Judge Van Zile.
Some months ago this man Kap-
lan came to my office from New
York and demanded copies oi the
apartment house register and oth-er evidence. I told him he would
have to get ii. court order, and he
had not appeared in the case. I
have heard nothing since until I
read in the paper that he was at
Marquette with Mr. Leebove."

If it is the privilege of a 
rivate citizen,
may I call to your attention for investigation a condi-
 tion which I am satisfied exists in the State of_ichigan,
the correction of which warrants §edera1 assistanca.&#39;
V I am addressing this request to you because
of recent statements in the press relating the deter-
, mination of the gpderel gpvernnent to stamp out poli-
{ tico-gangster government. I am not directing the mes-
,, sage to Senators Couzsns or Vandenberg because I do &#39;
Y no-t wish it to carry any political implications. . s
.1 »&#39; _ .. _ ~ _ i g - May I state first, as evidence of good faith,

 that I am ready to assist you in any manner within my
_ F power. Unfortunatly I have no evidence in support of
1 I my conviction of wrong doing but I feel that it lies"
within your power to unearth such evidence and bring .
 it to light, or if I am in error, reassure me along with
many other citizens of Michigan that there is no ground
&#39; . for my suspicion. _ _ ,-F.
1&#39; &#39; &#39;1 i I am convinced that Governor Comstock and a&#39;R xgf. Isaiah¥Leebove are in the businessnof deliveringrisonors ron jail for s price. I will enumerate from
hemory, and in the onier of their oocurencg approximete= 1l , events reported in the pr

 leading to my~stated ,P!{-onviotion; 1. Governor Gomstock inaugurated. 2. Arthur 9 ,1&#39;I,92!&#39;__|jigjch  probably most wealthy Michigan prisoner rileased!. q¬T1?{
3. Isaiah Leebove  said to be former N. I. gangster lawyer! Qw
revealed as sole contributor to Comstock campaign fund.
4, Many other prisoners released  over objection of
trial Judges in many cases. 5. Mr. Leebove appointed
by Governor to make private survey of all Michigan &#39;y &#39; r &#39;prisons= 6. In course oi his investigation Leebove xii//ei-/92 *!h&#39;v  929292J92 Vi! 1 - 92F f. _ 9292! l 92

attempts to force Uarden_Gorgan of Marquette Prison to_
pernit priuate interview by attorney with threeKPurnlo;gagstere> Bernstein, at al!. Attorney was Fred Dif
aplsuof Rel Iork, laid touhave teen employed in New IoIk&#39;- &#39;

for the three Purple Gangsters in Detroit by Attorney
Kaplen. New evidence revealed as perjured and forged
by Prosecuting Attorney Toy. 9. Recall petitions out
for Goveruorie recall because of his_oonneotion with 4
Leebove. QThis effort quickly dropped.l Probably becauee"-&#39;Tj_~l;;92 ,&#39;
it was in weak hsndsiith professional lsadership.f&#39;At E ss &#39;s&#39;any rate the recall Iould_be_an unsatisfactory and drawn_out nethod&#39;;:._

members of the Hecorders_Gourt Jury Commission in Detroit re» &#39;
quested and demanded by the Governor. Splendid record of the com-
mission attested to by local Judges. ll. Hearing on petition for
new trial mentioned above, being delayed by Kaplsn in every way
possible. Apparently waiting for new Jury commission to hand
pick his Jury if he is able to get new trial for gangsters. ,. _ . , - -- _ -,_ __&#39;,- V , _ - .
_ , No doubt yeu_have investigators in the field
who are familiar with the situation I havefoutlined and who
are capable of determining if the conclusions I draw are
correct.
I notice that October 6th. is the date sat for the
Senate Committee inquiry into Detroit rackets. In my opinion i _ ,
the mayor, police commissioner and Prosecutor Toy in particular
are doing their utmost to combat gangsters and racketeers. Their I H
efforts will he of little avail if the chief eiecutiye_ef the
state is aiding or opereti s racket} and toaccomp1ish his end ,g§>
is willing to go so far as to temper with the Jury system and.prison-3?
administration.- y_92 ". 4 - - A I
In fairness to you I assure you that none of the dis-
missed officials are friends of mine or known to me. My sole
purpose in asking your aid is to see the wrong corrected if my
suspicion is well founded,or to be satisfied through your in-
vestigation that I have misjudged the accused.
Yours very truly,
