fingerprinting this man and photographing him, he had stated to him
in confidence that he had seen "Pretty Boy" Floyd at the M. 8; M.
Hospital in Fort Lauderdale, and that Floyd was mired up in some sort
°1 50130 racket in Fort Isuderdele. Hr". Gaines stated that this
prisoner spoke very confidentially and did not rant the Sheriff at
Fort Lauderdale to know that he hadfurnished this infomation, in
view of the fact that the Sheriff apparently was in with Floyd and
the dope ring at Fort Lauderdale, and that Dobbins was afraid of some
reprisal at the hands of Floyd and his gang. e _ _
Mr. Gaines stated further that Dobbins mentioned some
doctor by the name of Sanford as being connected with the dope racket
at Fort Lauderdale, Florida; -' ' '
AT FORT LAU'DERD.A.LE, FLORIDA:
At Fort Landerdale, Florida, "it was ascertained that there
was only one hospital there, itbeing the Memorial Hospital. .1'his
Hospitalis advertised by the initials "ll. H. the H looking quite Ia bit like an M, and the name could easily be taken for "11 a ma.
It was also ascertained that there is a Doctor-"J. A. Sanford, with
offices in the Sweet Building, Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Mr. A. G. Shsnd, Chief of Police at Fort Lauderdale, was
contacted and the details of instant matter nsde lcnown to him. The
writer had previously been advised by Hr. Scarboro at Miami that
Chief Shanda could be trusted, but that it was not advisable to con-
tact the Sheriff at Fort Lallderdalea Mr. Shend advised that he had
pictures of "Pretty Boy" Floyd among his files and that he was fam-
iliar with his appearance, _,s.nd that _he had not seenhim at Fort Lauder-
dale and had not had any reportsfrom anyone to that effect. He
stated, however, that John Millin, one of his motorcycle patrolman, had
been in the Memorial Hospital around Easter time in April, and that
while visiting him there he had talked to two or three strange men in
the hospital, one of them having a broken arm, but that as he remem-
bered tham, neither resembled Floyd. Mr. Shand Stated that Of
his own personal knowledge he knew that Dr. Sanford was PNBBIWIY 911"
gaged in handling dope and that he also knew there was supposed to be a
qpe ring or some kind at Fort Lauderdale, which he believed was being

It was not deeed advisable to make any inquiry at Memor-
ial Hospital at the present time, it being reasonably certain that
Floyd was not there, and if this Hospital was a hide-out or his, it
would not be good policy to "flush" the place and prevent rlcyd's
return there at a later date;
Arrangements were made with Chief or Police Shanda, rho -
could make inquiries there without any suspicion, to check up on
this place and furnish the information to the writer at a later date.
On June 25,,l954, Chief of Police Shand was again con-
tacted by the writer, and advised that he had made inquiries and
ascertained that Floyd was not located at Memorial Hospital at the
present tine, and that he could not get any information to the ef-
fect that he had ever been there. ma. Shand advised that he
knew Dobbins, who had furnished this information about Floyd, being
there and that he knew him to be a disreputable bootlegger and liarand that he would not put much faith in any statements that he might

gaged in making dope at the hospital. ' Dobbins stated thet_I1oydAu

' -- - In view of Whittaker's_knoIn connections in the uderworld at _ "
Dallas, Kansas City, Chicago and in other cities, in order to handle the situation
in the most discreet manner, the writer interviewed Lieutenant will Fritz, in charge
of the Robbery and Homicide Division of the Dallas Police Department. Lient. Fritz -
stated that in his dealinga_sith Hhittaker, he had always found him willing to
cooperate, and suggested that an appointment be made to talk to Whittaker at the
Dallas Division office. 9 . " w ~ - -
The writer contacted Ben I, dhittaker over the telephone at his
suite in the Jefferson Hotel, Dallas, and at Nhittaker's own suggestion the latter
came to the Dallas Division office where he freely discussed his business.
< Hhittaker stated that until ?ebruar7 1, 1934, shortly arts: the
ool
s on e horses were closed, long distance telephone number 953 Ias assigned
to him and the wire was located in the Jefferson Hotel, from which place he furnished
service and also took bets; that long distance_telephone nuber 521 is that of
the Jefferson Hotel, over which wire he also sent and received tale hone mess P ~&£°9o
In this connection, he stated that he has been in constant telephonic cmmunication
ith Kane see City, Chicago, St. Louis, and other cities, particularly with one
George Sadlo, relative to bets on horses, and equipment for gambling tables; that
he understands that George Sadlc is an agent for the "Dutchman" correct sansGeorge seinbrenner, who owns or operates Mason & Coupon, manufacturers of enablingcquigment and devices. Whittaker stated that he is agent for the General News ; a
Serv ce of Kansas City, which furnishes race-track information to his connections
at Dallas and vicinity; that he believes that Sadie and Iohn_L; lazis were owners or
controlled the interest_in the Green Hills country Club, Kansas City,-Moe Hhitteker
further stated that when John L. Lazia was tried in Federal Court-recently at
Kansas City, he Hhittaker, was one of the witnesses subpoenaed for the Government
relative to a check issued by Hhittaker in favor or John L. Lazia, coverins tbs
winnings on a race~horse bet. -
according to Whittaker, George Sadlo is now interested in_s string
of horses from the Bast, and also in gambling concessions at Laredo and Ehmnnstille,
Texas; that only e few days ego he received c telephone call from George Sedlo.at
Laredo, Texas, placing e bet on a.horse; _'___, .. _- 3 9

'i'hat ii Gelatas has in the Inst been in any way associated with George Sadlo, it is
his GEhittaker's! guess that Galatae could possibly be contacted through George'
Sadlo, at Laredo, Texas, as Sadlo is pretty well known to gamblers all over the '
country. hittaker stated tat it he'knew where Galatas or any other hunted Criminal
could be located, he would not hesitate to furnish the information to the Government
because some time ago an attempt was made to kidnap him Whittaker! and instead the
bandits robbed him of 3500.00 and escaped, '-

Green, Kentucky and to Ohio; so would not say why they had separated. '35 says
that the last time he saw Floyd was in Ehnsae City in 1950, but would neeg1va ,
any information about the circumstances of their meeting there. Be claim; to
be well acquainted with Floyd's mother and to have been in her home; that the-
mother and a sister of Floyd live at Salisaw, Oklahoma and that a brother lives
at Sminole and is employed by an oil company there. He knows Beulshaird and
says that Iloyd is_orazy about her and that she'would be more apt to he in touch
with Floyd than would anyone else; thatBeulah and Floyd's little boy were stay-
ing with a Mrs. Smelling-[Smellsy! at Wewoha,'Oklahoms and that a raid had been
staged there on one occasion when Beulah and the boy were taken into custody but
later released. Since he, Tedford has been in the penitentiary, his fanily has
been hard pressed to get by, so he had urged his wife to try to locate Beulah
through He. Ehslling feeling that Beulah probably has the cash for Floyd and
plenty of it and he was quite sure that for old time's sake Floyd would be geld to
help his, Tedford's family financially while he, Tedford was in prise. Tedford
said that if he were out, he was quite sure that he could go to people whose names
and addresses he does not-remember but he would know where to find them and would
know their faces, and they would-recognize hin.as having been associated with Iloyd
and he would be able to locate Floyd, but that he could not tell the writer the
name of anyone who could assist in locating hms Hb indicated that he would first
try to locate Beulah through Hrs.'Sna1ling and in the event he had no luck there
he would go to Kansas City and find some old acquaintances.there, or that he could
tell certain things to Floyd's mother that would continee her that it would be all
right for her to direct him to Floyd. BB was sure that if he could be paroled for
a short time he could locate Floyd and put him'on the spot*within three months, or
six months, or nine months. He was advised that the writer was quite sure that
neither the Government would recommend, nor would the State entertain any such .
proposition but that if he could furnish any information that might lead to the
location of Floyd, tho fact that he had furnished such information would be brought
to the attention of those in authority. no insisted that he could go to people
and get information if he were out, but that he and Floyd had been separated more
than_three years; that his later friends and haunts were not known to him, Tedford,
and that he could not furnish the name or address of anyone who could furnish the
information. - ' -

of' stolen bonds. This informant is a known associate and friend of Pretty
Boy? Floyd. He told these officers that he recently had a letter from Floyd
and yesterday showed them a telegram which he stated is from Floyd. The
telegram was sent from Tulsa and addressed to the informant at Kansas City,
Kansas and reads as follows: telegram sent collect.!

Mr. Nathan advised that there has been some publicity in Kansas
City recently to the effect that a reward has been offered by the Department
for the capture of Floyd. I advised Mr. Nathan that the Department has
offered no reward for Floyd but I was of the opinion that the Director would
offer e reasonable amount for the apprehension of Floyd. After discussing
this subject with you, I advised Mr. Nathan that we would give the informant
$1,000 if we could get Floyd. I told llr. Nathan that this should be a C.0.D.
proposition.
Mr. Nathan advised that in theqltansas City, Kansagipolice department
there is some friction between the different officers and m bers of the
Department and, according to Jenkins, the men who obtained this information
from the informant are not very reliable and are out for e publicity and
whatever they can get out of it. Hr. Nathan stated that cldullen, whohas had most of the contact with the informant, used to b!?Chi.ef of Police
at Kansas City, Kansas and wants to have an understanding with the Division
to the effect that Floyd be turned over to the Kansas City, Kansas Police
Department, if he is apprehended. I advised Mr. Nathan that we could not
make any agreement of this nature inasmuch as we have no jurisdiction in
this connection. In other words, we are an investigative agency and if
we apprehend Floyd, we can not guarantee that he will be sent to any place.
Mr. Nathan advised that the Kansas City, Kansas police department have only
a minor charge age-1-net Floyd and their reason for wanting him is for publicity
purposes. I told Mr. Nathan to be very diplomatic about this matter and
inform them that this is a problem for their local attorneys and as far asthe make no effort to thwart 8115' State

Memo for the Director -2- June 30, 1934.
prosecution against Floyd on any charge. I told llr. Nathan that the
best we have on Floyd is conspiracy to obstruct justice which would
carry the maximum of two years and we do not feel that the Department
would stand between local authorities that had other and more serious
charges against Floyd. I also stated that our chief interest in Floyd
was to find out all about the Kansas City massacre.
llr. Nathan stated that he does not believe they intend to
prosecute Floyd over in Kansas City, Kansas but they feel like, if he
was brought there, they would get a lot of publicity out of it.
Mr. Nathan advised that Jenkins realizes this situation himself but
he is only Acting Chief of Detectives and does not have as much authority
as he would like to have. according to Jenkins, if we do not try to keep
Mcl.iuJ.'l.en in a good humor, he is liable to do any-thing. However, Mr. Nathan
stated this can be probably straightened out, and I told Mr. Nathan to
advise them that our chief interest was to cause the apprehension of
Floyd.
Mr. Nathan will see that this matter receives appropriate
attention and I instructed him to see tha no publiciiw was given to
this matter.
With further reference to gewards, I advised Hr. Nathanthat $10,000 had been offered for er's arrest, $5,000 for
information leading to his arrest, $5,000 for Nelson's arrest and $2,500
for information leading to Nelson's arrest.

. I called llr. Conroy with reference to the Floyd matter and advised
that we had an informant going to Fort Smith; that Agent Anderson was going
to Fort Smith in an under -cover capacity and Agent Trainer was going to
Fayetteville where be would register in his om name at the Washington Hotel.
I also advised that Mr. R.B.Nathan and one other Agent would go to Fayetteville
some time tomorrow and we expected this thing to break on the 4th. I advised
Mr. Conroy that we would like to have him go to Fayetteville tomorrow afternoon
and get in touch with Trainer or Nathan at the hotel. I-Ir. Conroy; advised
he had four agents available besides himself. I instructed him to take
three of his best agents and go to Fayetteville and be ready for any emergency.
Hr. Conroy advised that yesterday agent Anderson called him and
gave his the above information. However, Hr. Conroy stated he had just received
a cell from Hr. Spear from Kansas City, Kansas to the effect thaifhiclullen and
the informant had left Kansas City at noon today; that there had been arleak
somewhere and it appeared as if these two men were going to be killed. Spear
asked Conroy to stop them in the event they got into his district. I advised
Mr. Conroy that Iv.'ould call the Kansas City office at once and get all of the
details. In view of this, I told Mr. Conroy not to do anything but to be
prepared to move over to Fayetteville if it should be necessary.
Mr. Conroy advised that Fag-etteville is quite a distance from
Fort Smith - about 75 to 100 miles - and if you strike a fog, it is almost
impossible to get through . llr. Conroy suggested that some spot closer to
Fort Smith would be more desirable. I told Mr. Conroy that I would definitely
ascertain what the situation is with regard to this matter and then advise him.
He was requested to be prepared to move in at once upon receipt of advice to
this effect. _

surrenderd in her theatre venture, is ot sincere in his negotiations of
and is without any authority to so deal. He is convinced that
Floyd's mother at Sallisaw, Oklahoma is the person who controls the situa-

to convince hrs. Floyd that surrender is the most reasonable thing
Floyd could do. He proposes that I accompany him by plane to a point near

The Honorable,
The Attorney General,
Department of Justice,
Washington, D. C.
Hy dear sir, . I
9 In re the whereabouts of much wanted em,
Bo oyd, you might keep an eye o the Travelers Service Station "etxkrlington, Toms. This place is s 20 miles from Dallas.
You will find that besides the gasoline and oil
these proprietors dispense good cheer in bottles - bootleg booze
and beer. Do not confuse the Traveler's service station with
the Traveler's Garage in the ssme town. The lite; is hagnless.
For personal reasons I cannot sign this latter. You,
however, lcnow how to make use of such anonymously provided
information. You will find that this is not a bum steer. jnd you
will find no fingerprints on this sheet.

Hr. Nathan telephoned and advised that everything seems to
be 0.K. ; that Trainer is down in Fayetteville; that Anderson is in
Fort Smith at the Goldman Hotel using the name of Herr draws and
he and Agent Simone are leaving for Fayetteville in ab t an hour.
lllr. Nathan advised that he had talked to Hr. Conroy and all
arrangements have been perfected. I asked Mr. Nathan if he could not
get closer to Fayetteville and he advised that he discussed this with
Mr. Conroy but Mr. Conroy could not suggest any other town. However,
after Mr. Nathan arrives down there, he will see if they can not get
into some town that is closer to Fort Smith and then advise the Division.
I told I.-ir. Nathan that we wanted to avoid criticism with regard
to our being too far away to take any action and suggested that the agents
might go in one at a time and register at the different hotels in Fort Smith.
Mr. Nathan stated that this seemed to be a good idea and he would consider
it. Mr. Nathan will advise the results in this matter.

made no difference to me.
I took her anyway.
I think Alice had a
pretty good opinion of you
at the end. I don't think
she believed half the
things I had told her. And
that little aair when I
framed you so you'd be
caught in that room with
Queenie-it seems she saw
through that all the time.
And when you lost your
job on account of-well-
you know--she knew all
the time that I had done it.
She told me so. She said
there was no reason for
you to shoot yourself. She
was crying pretty bad. and
perhaps a little hysterical.
The 1' unny part of it was
she wouldnt marry me
after all. I didn't ask her,
because I was waiting un-
til a while after the fu-
somebody who could tell
him something about his -
ten dollars. Do you re-
member that blonde girl you met at the New Years party
three years ago! Well, she was there. What do you
think of that? 1
The newspaper boys were there. They took a picture
of the crowd, and I gave them a photo of you taken in
1924 at the Elks ball. They wanted it for the paper.
And the next day there it was, on the third page. right
next to s picture of Charles Evans Hughes. It-wish you
could have seen it. And they wrote quite a story about
it. It was a good story. They told how you had got tired
of life and had decided to end it all, or something like
that. Oh, yes, they all knew it was suicide, of course.
There was no hint of anything else. It was just as you
would have wanted it to be. '
They had four young men at the funeral. I think they
call them the Harmony Four, or something like that.
They sang some songs, sort of sad ones. And the min-
ister made a ne speech. I have seldom heard such a _ne
speech. I almost enjoyed it. Then they carried you out
to a ne eight-cylinder hearse, one of the best hearsea I
have ever seen. And they went to the cemetery. There
were a lot oi very swell cars in the procession. I went
on home.
I -got a great kick out of seeing you lying up there in
your casket. I could lust see your nose. It stuck up.
Once I thought I saw it twitch. It would have, if you
could have had anything to say about it, because I know
you never cared for ne funerals. '
Well, I have saved the most interesting part to the last.
You know what it is about. It is about Alice Jordan.
Alice was there, I was with her. I thought I owed it to
you to take Alice to the funeral. The three of us had
always been pretty thick, you know. The fact that on theveléy nightdyou died you called me such terrible names,neral; but she told me
right at the funeral that
. _ she never wanted to see
me again. What do you think of that? After I'd taken
her. But I didn't ever want to see her again. either.
And I won't see her. I thought you'd want to know that,
so I am telling you. Alice is a very smart girl, and it's
no wonder we both of us fell for her like we did. I'll
admit I did everything humanly possible, before your
death, to take Alice from you. It didn't work. Nothing
worked. I'm sorry about it, because I certainly wanted
Aliceworse than anything in the world. But I guess
in order to get a girl away from somebody else you got
to go about it dierent. Especially a girl like Alice.
IT was Alice who identied that watch charm. Can you
imagine her identifying the watch charm? The one you
gave me for my birthday six years ago? Well, she did.
She came right out with it. And of course, after that.
she wouldn't marry me at all. She said she never wanted
to see me again. Well, she won't.
Of course I have got a lot against Alice on account of
that charm, but I have not got anything against you, and
I never did have. You can't get sore at a fellow because
he's got guts. I don't see yet how you could do it. Look
at the trouble I had gone to, to have everything done
right. There wasn't a thing wrong. Everything was
perfect. And then, when I lifted you to the bed to put
your ngerprints on the pistol and lay it beside your
hand, you were still conscious enough to get my watch
charm in your st and keep it there. I didn't even_ miss
it, and I don't know yet why I didn't see you .clutch1n3' it
in your left st as you died. - '

GEORGE D. Gl'I"I"S eighty-ve years
have by no means dimmed his mem-
ory ed either the Battle of Gettysburg or
Lincoln's delivery of the Gettysburg
Address. Even minor details of the
latter event stand out, clear-cut, before
Mr. Gitt's minds eye as he looks back
upon that November 19, 1863, when he
stood at Lincoln's feet, beneath the _ _speakers Platform, and looked up 2
through a crack to observe the gestures g
of the great President and the play of
emotion on his face. A few months
before, only a short distance away from
the thick of the Battle of Gettysburg,
he had heard the rumble of the cannon;
and he had looked upon the face of Gen-
eral Reynolds as his body was being -
removed from the battleeld on a spring
wagon. At the Battle of Hanover, which
was the prelude to Gettysburg, he had _stood close by a cavalryman at the mo- A NO!/Bl
ment a fragment of shell cut away the
unfortunate soldier's thigh, and then by
a hair's breadth had dodged several
bullets himself as he, with his brothers,
ran about along the fringes of the ght._1f==-- - 92_ 92_-_
S every one knows. the simplicity,
the quiet kindliness which were
so much a part of the great
Lincoln, became more than ever mani-
fest when he s oke those few classic
of the magnanimous Lincoln, as re-
vealed st that moment when private
anxieties as well as the grave national crisis wrung his
heart almost to the breaking point, lie recorded only in
the memories of those few of us still living who saw and
heard him on that Day of the Dedication, as Novem-
ber 19, 1863, is still familiarly called in and around
Gettysburg.This November 19 threescore and ten years will have
passed away since the Fourscore and seven years ago
address fell upon the ears of an assemblage that stood, as
I well remember, motionless and silent. Many bowed
their heads and, almost without exception, men dolled
their hats. They mistook the speech for a prayer. A
group of Negroes moaned forth an Amen " in each
pause.
I, a boy of fteen, intent upon being as close to Lincoln
as was physically possible without being on top of the
platform, had concealed myself earlier in the day among
the huge store boxes that formed the foundations of the
structure; and during the delivery of the address I stood,Lvith my heart in my mouth, literally at the feet of my

words that malls up the Gettysburg - ,
Address. But the writhings of soul ,- ately I hastened toward the station,
__ _ but not alone, for others had heard
- the whistling and were equally curi-
. . ,.. .- -_ _ -_ J _<_-}_,__ To my vast surprise I discovered
that the special train on which Lin-
coln was journeying to Gettysburg
had developed a hot box, and was
therefore being shunted from the
main line into the Hanover siding.
Of course some had assumed that
there would be no stop after a junc-
tion point ten miles to the east, and
consequently, earlier in the clay had
gone there, hoping to get a glimpse of
the President. But enough towns-
men had remained at home so that
within a few minutes after the rst
whistle blasts a crowd surrounded
the coach in which Lincoln sat writ-
ing the latter part of his address, the
top of his high hat serving as a make-
shift desk.
There was no cheering. The babble
of the crowd was subdued. The loco-
motive, with the forward car of
which the dlfending axle was a part,
rolled o to the repair shop. Then a
voice was raised. Father Abraham!
Father.Abraham! Come forth! Your
children want to see you. The crowd
gave way, and the minister of the
village Lutheran church, one Rev.
Alleman, continuing his appeal,
stepped close to the coach.
A moment later Lincolns tall
gure appeared in the doorway.
Stooping, so that the crown of his
head would clear the lintel, he strode out on the plat-verrn, smiled sadly, and slowly descended to the lower
p. _ .-
I was close by. In oi-der that I might touch the skirts
of Lincoln's coat, I squirmed beneath the coach and
wrissled between its Wheels. and as I emerged my shoul-
der brushed the President's knee. The great, kindly face
looked down at me and again smiled wistfully, and the
great, friendly hand patted my proud. happy head.
Thrilled and strangely moved, I forthwith made up my
mind to go to Gettysburg the next day, even though l
should have to walk.
With his eyes still xed on me Lincoln began to speak;
and while he spoke his thoughts seemed to be far away
and unrelated to the words he uttered, for that day his
mountainous troubles were peaked by a distressing anxi-
ety due to the critical condition of his little son Tad.
After thanking the townspeople for being good
enough to greet him, he referred to the ght which had
taken place at Hanover on the day before the opening of
the Battle of Gettysburg as the prelude to one of the
world's most momentous battles. He said it was his
opinion that had not General Jeb Stuart been engaged
._by General Kilpatrick at Hanover and as a result been
_tur_ned_ east, Gepegsl Lee would have had_the support,Close-up

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP MEANS SLA
HEN big business takes undue advantage
of workers we often hear the socialistic
doctrine advocated which tells us that
all business should be owned and conducted by the
government. '
Few people stop to think what government own-
ership really means. They seem to have an idea
that once the government becomes the proprietor
everybody will have an easier time, that every
worker will have a large voice in the management.
But what does it really mean? '
We have an example of government ownership in
Russia at the present time. The workers of that
country are ordered about like a lot of cattle. There
are no strikes over there. You are told what wages
you can have; you are told at which job you must
work; and you work accordingly or go to jail or are
penalized in some other way. '
That is one form of government ownership.
And let us view some of the results of government
ownership in our own country.
Point out if you can a single instance where gov-
ernment ownership has been an outstanding suc-
cessthat is, where it has succeeded to such an
extent that it could compare favorably with thesuccesses attained by some of our Fret-1t__l_1:1*=i||ess
executives. Wherever or whenoven t ie goverhment
steps in, su pereiciency vacates.
Political favorites become the dictators. The men
who have spent their lives studying the details of
business are frequently reduced to minor positions.
We are suffering from many forms
of government ownership or control
at the present time. The United
States government went into the busi-
ness of controlling the price of cotton
and wheat a few years ago. Hundreds -
of millions of dollars were lost in thisZ
governmental activity. The govern- 1.
as ment took over the railroads during . -
companies following that world-wide ,_ '; " ___ .,|

executives maintain, to giavernlnent
The government has gone into the banking
ness; and to just what extent its intrusion into the
nancial eld has inuenced the appalling record of
bank failures no one can tell. At no time in the his-
tory of the world have there been such disgraceful
nancial catastrophes.
The NRA will undoubtedly serve a good purpose.
but it has been made necessary by the government s
interference with the natural course of business in
previous years. We are all hoping that it will help
bring us back to normal, and the benets already
attained are encouraging. '
¢ But we are also hoping that the procedure will be
' temporary, that it will not be a deviation from our
democratic principles. _
All the codes for the various businesses should be
valuable at this time, but if they become a perma-
_nent xture they may create a I-'.'»rde of bootleggers
that will be like a cankerous sore eating at the vitals
E-f every legitimate business. Their enforcement
may be worth a trial, but the Prohibition Law has
taught us some terrible lessons and if we do not
_.IlOt by them we will have to accept the penalty.
Capitalism may have its faults, big-business
,6-.;m1*iv.es..!na=;__g>_g_iIl_;.sh 's,ii.wor.k§i~s at times. 5_ T_ But our workers are not slaves. They cannot be or
dered around to suit the whims of a dictator. At least
they may quit their jobs if they do not like them.
But if we change to government ownership they
will work whether they like it or not, and if they do
not work hard enough the penalty may
be jail or a whiplash.
Government ownership means a dic-
tatorship. And although a benecent and intelligent dictatorship usually
brings good government, dictators are
rarely benecent and sometimes are
not even intelligent.
_ We had better keep away from gov-

conict; but it maintained a control of
such a nature that railroad executives .
were hamstrung---they could not run

Dear 811': l .
Reference ls lads to disposition sheet euhlitted W
you under date or larch 5, 1931., conoemlng the oases of Jamaaitaheleh B4116-d end Rose Beérd, your File 162-735. _
It ls observed that your disposition sheet reects that
the case or aeoh of the:-0 individuals was dismissed on appeal.
The disposition eheet does not indioeto on what date these oases '
were dienissod, -
It appears from ti-nz¢11Il1nt cards submitted by the Kentucky
State Penitentiary that both of these individuals were received in
that penitentiary for a term of three years, commencing lo,-gust 15,
1931, hie said ngerprint cards set out that those sentences were
imposed for the crime of robbery. he disposition sheet eutnitted
by you apparently covers the sane offense as that for which the
aforementioned dispositions Iere submitted by the Kentucky State
Penitentiary. . _
' In order to clear up all ambiguity in the records of the
Division, it is requested that you advise the Division as to the
date that these oesas were dismissed on appeal.
Very truly yours,
ltlreotor. - .

wewoka, Oklahona. He stated he would not require any money to
pay his expenses after arriving at Wewoka since he would advise
Eva Richetti that he needed money and would secure it from her.
he indicated that such a request of her would be a means of her
securing a quicker contact with Floyd and Richetti in order to
secure the funds for him. Ina maximum amount which would be
required for the purchase of an old automobile and the payment
to the informant of the cash for expense purposes should not
purchased for not more than $50.00 locally exceed $100.00, since an automobile of ample durability could K

It may be possible that -could be induced
to travel by bus or train from Kansas City to wewoka, although to
date he has indicated that he would not undertake the mission
unless he were provided with a car of some sort.

with Eva Richetti it is believed that he has possibilities of

Immediately following the receipt of reference report, a telephone
call was received from the Kansas City Office, and Special agent in Oharge
R. B. Nathan of that office, in conversation with special Agent E.BJioxI: gcmery
of this office, directed attention to a letter from the Salt L eke City Office
to the Chicago Office, dated larch 89, 1954, and letter fran the Kansas City
Office to the Chicago Office, dated April 2, 193$, in this case, copies of
which had been sent to this office, and which letters indicated that an
individual, Icnovn as Gus stone, alias Stevens, was said-to be on intimate
terms with Irene Dorsey, and it was thought also that the individual lmosn
as "Big Bauer", probably identical with Homer lilson, night be located through
Ous Stone» It was further stated that Ous Stone and Homer Iilsm were being
sought as suspects in connection with this case, and Special Agent Montgomery
was instructed that the Kansas City Office had been in telephonic communica-
tion with the Division, and it nae desired that Irene Dorsegybe located, and
her movements and activities covered by surveillance for a period of two
weeks, endeavoring to thus possibly locate Gus Stone and Big Homer", alias
Boner IIIBOIJ-e ' _ .
this office was specifically instructed not to approach or interview
Irene Dorsey earlier than noted above, unless it appeared that she was about
to leave this district. I ' » . - _- - ' ' " "*~ - . _92
The above noted telephonic communication was confirmed by reference
letter,,and the further suggestion was made that this office endeavor to se-
cure photographs,at an appropriate -distance, of the individuals knovln to be
contacting Irene Dorsey, in order that they might possibly be identified at
Kansas City during the progress of the invest igat ion here.
Beferonce report of Agent &lren details the contents or a telegram
allegedly sent by Irene Dorsey from San Francisco on Inns 9, 1934», which sire
appears to be in code, or by e mentally deranged person, and the contents of
which wire do not appear to correspond with the statement of Irene Dorsey's
pg;-5111;; to Agent an-an regardingthe nets received from their daughters
' In onier that verication of this mtter night be had here, and
with the thought that Irene Dorsey had possibly sent other wires, and that

- Er. Terri, assistant Office llenager, Western Union Telegraph 00., ._
51 Gear! St., imediatsdystatsd, when approached, regarding this matter, '-
that the name Dorsey was familiar to him. He stated that he believed _-
Irene Dorsey had sent e collect message to acme point in Illinois; that ' -
payment had been refused in Illinois, and that he had endeavored to secure
collect ion here through notes to Irene Dorsey at the Larne Hotel, but that '
as he remembered it, the notices had come back marked "not here", endhs had
guaranteed the account as -nncollectibls, and charged it off the books. He
endeavored to find the file in connect ion with the matter, but was unable
to do so after a lengthy search and check of all departments, and advised "
that the some had been misplaced, or he had been mistaken in his recollection.
Hie attention IE8 directed to a sire of the type gioted in reference re: art,
and he seemed to remember that the sire sent had been at this type, and he
believed that the charge for transmission had been about $1.40.
Search or ell files or the company by Ir. Terri for Inns B, 9, and
10, failed to disclcse the location of the sending of thesire quoted in
reference report, and llr. Terri finally concluded -it mist he in the file
recording the collect charge, which was loets He did discover, however,
the following wire sent by Irene Dorsey on Jnne 9, 1934, filed at 8:53 P.H.'
on that date: .
"Health, finances, friends, all 0.K. Courage
O all. 109780 |_
_. _ _ I1-ens." _
Examination of the original irire revealed Irene's address as Boom
205 in the Lame Hotel on that date, and that she had paid the 95¢ charge
for the wire here. It will be noted that this wire appears to be the
one referred to by Irene's parents, referred to by Agent serene
The Larneotel, located at the corner cf Haeon and Ellis Ste.,
San Francisco, is of poor reputation, and is personally known to Agent from
previous investigations conducted here to be frequented by "pimps" endto
be a residence of prostitutes, and that no cooperat ion in thiematter might
be expected througi thehotelq .1 - " _
'- J Tellsphonie under appropriate pretext, of the hotel clerk,
developed the statement that Irene Dorsey was no longer at the hotel; that
she had became sick and was nos at the Stanford-Lane Hospital; that her
lmsband was Lee '1'. Bsvans, who easnoa at the Holland Hotel. .
The Holland Hotel at 821 Mason St. is located immediately adjacent
to the Larne Hotel. It is a cheap hotel, which is of the sane reputeti en
and character as the Larne Hots, and it was deemed inadvisable to conduct
investigation there at this time. _ _
