Gentlemen,' You may,or may not,be interested in the following
facts and rumors of a certain individual 1 know of.
He lives in Grand Bapids,Eioh. He is married to
a woman whose first husband is said to have been slain by
a1"Purple ganster- His fear of the 1aw,aleo,his wife's,
seems to take him out of the detective class. gs and his
wife makes long trips and always travels by night,£requent-
ly on Sundays,to Indianapolis,hetroit,uleveland and new to
when he returns he has plenty money. His wife spcrts,on
occasions,several diamonds. on one return he threw a party
that cost money. Lnother,he paid a tax bill of a couplehundred dollars or eo,on a relatives property.§,Recentl{he took much notice,acoording to witnese,of report of*t e
Lindberg baby kidnap trial on in new Jsrsey,whereon some-
thing was stated,or intimated,that a former Iurple gangsta
and bootlegger was being sought by authorities. Three time
he virtually commanded his wife to "read that",pointing
out the pisoe- They asked for this newspaper. That even-
ing they made another "mystery" trip. The time he returns
and threw a little party was a few days after the Brooklyn
hank robbery of some s485,000.00. This took place while
he was on one of his trips from erend sapida. Of course,
there is but little,and very little,chanse that he was
mixed up in it,nevertheless the coincident of his absence
with the commission of the crime,and the mystery which
seems to surround him and his movements had to be noted.
I recall that he was said to have been in new Isl! tit!
at the time of the bank robbery. He is said to have save:
friends on the Grand Rapids police force. For this reason
1 have not disclosed any of the herein to the force. In
fact,1 have said nothing to anyone connected in any Iay
to the force,or to anyone else. It has been my secret and
confidence in parties who 1 know to he reliable. 1 con-
vinced the latter the matter should be brought to your at-
tention and the party was willing provided he was not dis
closed to anyone but yourselves,having a natural fear of
re risals if discovered friends of this man,should he_ _4__t._| _ P y r _

-; _ - . xvDuring a telephonic conversation which Mr. Thomgson had with
I Special Agent in Charge Magee of the-New Orleans Office, he said that
T through the United States Attorney there in Net Orleans, he received a
L request for a conference with two Congressmen and one Senator about the
gangster situetion in Louisiana in the coming election. These gentlemenwere Mr. J._.|Sanders, Jr. and John NI Sandlin, the Congressmen, andClevelsnd]Deer, the Senator. These gentlemen wanted Hr, Magee to under=take at once an extensive investigation relative to thelPurple Gang, who
are reported to be in Louisiana to do some "dirty work" in connection with
he coming election on Januay 2l,nl936- Mr. Magee said that these men had
absolutely nothing definite, and it appeared that they just more
wanted confirmation or denial on the prrt of Mr. Magee as to the
of thir gang in Louisiana so that it might be used for politicalor less
presence
purposes.
Mr Magee said he told these gentlemen that in the absence of
"' 1* 1 +ion oi P Federal law within the investigative jurisdiction a speciiic .io-ae-c c- c -c - 92 on U
of this Bureau, no investigation could be conducted. A letter of co plate

relative to this matter.

in it tovthe extent that the Club Steward i his personal representative H
keeps check on the Clubs activities. ertheiner has been very succesful
in the managment of the club and resotts to the payoff as e means of staying
in business. Frequently his Club is raided, however he is usually'tipped
in advance by the Eiami Beach Police Qepurtment, in the past the Sheriffs
Office of Dede County when raiding the Club, is reputed to call the p
Eiemi Beach Police, who then tip off the Club.
In the inter of 1955-as this Club res raided on one ocoassion at which
time there apparently was not a tip off, by the Miami beach Police under
theleadership of W. C. ichman, now Ass't Chief of Police. Wertheimer met 7
him at the d-or and told him that he could not go up stairs, to which
ichnen replied that he was going upstairs in Spite of tertheimer, whereupon
he was advised to call his Chief, H. V. locum. Upon ce1?ing Chief locum,
apparently his action was approved whereupon he so advised Eertheiner.that
he was going upstairs, at this point Wertheirer took the phone and said
to Yocum,"Listen I am telling you whet you can do and you are going to take
orders from me", he then told ichman to talk to Yocum, Ibo called off the
raid. apparently at this time, Hichnan was not being included in the payoff._-;; _ -.T- ._-..'_;_: -;-..-. . . - -. -_-1;... s.._.*_-..' ;;_.- I, .;...,.,_-s..- .. ..;;.-_~-;._;:-2.5.-'..x~ --*.>.-.-=-vI1-..e-.":-_~.-;=~*+_-- :.;-_;=J-i----@-"->£..-'..I='s=ei'.=;92..._'-s, . .

d me confidentially by IOU IERTHEDIER to the effect t p
Jewish people in Ina Angeles have recently banded together 1'or~the
purpose of opposing Anti-Semetic movments and propaganda. Ir. IE3!-
IHZIIEER stated that he was not at liberty to make any further state-
ments about this Jewish organization except that he said he, a Iew
evenings prior to our visit with him, had attended one of the meetings
of this group. ltr. IER'IHE1IER stated that at this particular nesting
much was made of the weakness of Jewish people to help the followers
of their faith, even though some of these followers were law violators-
llr. IEERTHEIIEER apparently was prmpted to sake these re
marks because of his disappointment in t o1,the thirty orforty photographs shown to him by gent d me of subject IOUlS_
BUCHALTER and his associates, practical y a of the photographs are --
of Jewish individuals. FEET!-IE , when cementing about that, also
said that he, himself, is a fu1l- looded Jew, saying also that when he
had given serious oonsideration to LEE and his anti-Senetic aeti-
vities, it has occurred to him the possibly there is some real basis
for HITLER'S activities. He said, naturally, it chagrins him to think
that Jewish people are selected as targets in this manner, but that he
still could not get it entirely out of his mind that possibly there was
sue good reason for this activity. It was then that he mentioned that

Elizaheth, Hes Jersey, uses the Detroit race track in their operations.

so that odds are switched at the last minute in order to mshe_the_do

numbers racket, which pays oft on the combination or mutual numbers at
the Detroit race track, will not have the lucky number tall on one where
the purchases are unusually heavy {or that particular day.u _ e

at the Detroit race tract and-advise that numbers should show in the
published mutnals for the day in order to insure that the lucky number
will not be one where the purchases are unusually heavy. Then, accord-ing tomthe mutuals are shifted a figurecr two if necessary in
order o m e e desired number appear. He stated he knows this has
been done because in 1938 he procured the cooperation of two detectives
from the Special Investigation Squad of the Detroit Police Department
and checked on the telephone calls that came in daily from the numbers
mob in New Jersey. He stated his obseryations indicate this practice
has continued. He advised that he knows nothing concerning the identity
of the numbers mob in New Jersey and his only information is that each
day in 1938 at least the telephone calls came from some city close to
Elizabeth, New Jersey, or possibly from Elizabeth, New Jersey, itself.y ' . _ .- ' "' . e _' - - oases 11: nsrnortr - e
At present there are no known gangs or mobs or hoodlums operating as
such in Detroit. Detroit, tour or tire years ago, was the headquarters ,
for the notorious Purple Gang that operated tor a while and controlled_
s great nutter oi illicit and semieillicit actititiescin this asst
Du ing its operation the Purple Gang controlled such things as the ' '
ma t industry, liquor labels, breweries, whiskey smuggling, dope, etc.
However, this gang was dissolved through the activities of the Detroit
Police Department and its remnants, if-not in the penitentiary, have
become engaged in such activities as handbooks, big money gambling, the
numbers racket, and like operations. '
The original head of the Purple Gang, ABE BERNSTEIN, presently resides
at the Book Cadillac Hotel, Detroit, Michigan, and receives a very sub-
stantial income from the race track wire service in Detroit. Inrormstion
indicates that several years ago, when he had his Purple Gang together,
he muscled in on the wire service as it was conducted then and has J
maintsined'his interests sufficiently to force the ANENBERG interests
to pay him a rake oft. AB's two brothers, JGE and IZZIE BERNBTEIN,

the'numer'cus thefts occurring in this area are due mainly to an association?" L
between limited numbers of the employees of the various railroad companies
and yards who have had personal knowledge of incoming shipments, and as a
result, have been able to avail themselves of the opportunity, and in some
instances have combined with others outside the railroad companies to effect
the theft from interstate shipments. The solution of several oases recently
by this office, which have occurred mainly in the Southern Pacific yards,
revealed that these associations were limited to two',thre_e or four individuals
in the railroad companies in one group, and two, three or four individualsin other groups, and that there is no connection between the various groups,
nor any organization to indicate an organized gang. - -
The police authorities here, namely the Los Angeles Police Department and the
Los Angeles Sheriff's Office, are satisfied that there are no known gangs f -
operating within this territory who are responsible for the perpetration '
of local crimes. .
