I This report covers activities of the various Agents who have _
conducted investigation concerning this case, the names of the investigat-
'ing Agents being set forth hereinafter in the details of this report. ,.:
i _ " Reference 1. made to the report of Special Agent R. O. Suran,;w
Chicago, Illinois, dated May 18, l955, 11 ereinthe investigation as con-} j
ducted by Special Agent W. C. Ryan concerning the address of 418?-89;.L£1Q
South Halsted Street, Chicago, Illinois, is set forth on pages 20 and 1'
21 thereof. Ls is noted in that report, the letter carrier, John C." 4
Bonesh, 2619 South Wells Street, Chicago, Illinois, who is eployedat*
the Stockyards Post Office sub-station, Chicago, Illinois, had delivered "
a letter addressed to John R. Mbran to the gambling establishment located A
above 4187-89 South Halsted Street. On May?l5th. Special Agents I. C.
Ryan and R. C. Suran interviewed Mr. Bonesh. ur. Bonesh advised that on
the afternoon of May 14, 1935, he obtained the letter which had been re-A
ceived at the Stockyards Post Office sub-station addressed to I. R. Moran,
4165 South Halsted Street, Chicago, and proceeded to the gambling establish
ment located above 4l8789 South Halsted Street, and there inquired of an _
individual as to a man named Moran. He was advised that Moran was sitting
in the gambling roam. -The individual then indicated a man to him, which
person stated that he was Hmran and had been expecting a letter. Mr. ".
Bonesh also furnished the description of this person, as he had previously g
furnished it to Mr. Newman, foreman of the Stockyards Post Office sub- - Q
station, and in addition stated that this man was slightly stooped.
Subsequent interviews were had with Assistant Superintendent
Albert Priest and Superintendent C. P. M; Thomsen of the Stockyards Post_;.
Office sub-station, who advised that the gambling establishment above f
referred to was a "bookie" Joint operated by one Tomy Touite, who had ,1
connections with the World Wide News Service, a service which operates
the broadcasts of horse race results and over which there has been con-
siderable publicity recently in Chicago, it being alleged that several
prominent gamblers in Chicago had been assassinated by other gangsters 7
relative to arguments growing out of the operation of the World Wide News
Service. Mr. Thomsen advised that mr. Davis who operates the hardware
store on the lower floor at 4187 South Halsted Street, had been in busi- .
ness in the Stockyards neighborhood for many years; that the hardware
store has been a family affair, handed down from father to son; that Davis
had been in business at his present location for about two years and owns
the building wherein the hardware store is located together with the Horn
Palace, a tavern, the upstairs being occupied by the'Amalgamated Heat e-~
Cutters and Live Stock Handlers Union and a gambling establishment. mr. ,
Thomsen stated that it has been his past experience with investigations S
conducted by the Post Office Inspectors in the neighborhood that it would
be highly inadvisable to make any open inquiries whatsoever concerniD£ the
individuals occupying or frequenting the gambling establishment. He stated
that although Mr. Davis is considered a reliable businessman, he would not
advise an interview with him inasmuch as he owns the building in which the
gambling establishment is located and is known to frequent the place to
place bets on horse races. . .. , v. .,

on this date Special Agent Wynn communicated with the Chicago Bureau I;

Special Agents M. J. Cassidy, M. Chaffetz, Lish Whitson and ,

._rI It will be noted that at the time Kerin left Louisville, Ken-
tucky he left a forwarding address, c/0 I. Nolan, Bo: 872, Chicago,
Illinois. It will be further noted that in the investigation conducted
by Special Agents Chaffetz and Sullivan it was learned that James Nolan,
operates a high class bookmaking establishment in roam 707 at 20 Iest.-'%
Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois. Special Agent Ihitson, in an et¢_;~
tempt to detennine definitely that Karin entered room 707, proceededto~';
that floor in the building. 'However, Agent Ihitson found the door to §'":
roam 707 closed and he was unable to observe any of the occupants therein,
Special Agents Cassidy and Chaffetz rmained in the vicinity
of the Quincy Garage in order to maintain surveillance in the event Kerin
appeared for his automobile. Special Agents Suran and Ihitson continued
to maintain a surveillance at 20 West Jackson Boulevard, and at approzi4-
mately 5:00 P.M. on that date the individual who had been pointed out as
Karin, who had been driving the Graham Paige car, left 20 lest Iackson_
Boulevard and proceeded to the Horn Palace, a tavern located at 525 H
Plymouth Court, Chicago, Illinois._ It will be noted that this tavernl
bears the same name as the one located at 4189 South.Halsted Street.
However, a definite connection between the two is not knoIn_at this "i,=
tune. . . . - -_~ "-pf #c,~' %~e'"»' ;,¥e,?;§¢, s -1>
Special Agent Chaffetz then left his position at the Quincy
Garage and proceeded to the Horn Palace and upon entering the place he
observed Kerin at the bar drinking. Agent Chaffetz observed no indivi-
duals therein answering the description of any of the fugitive subjects e
in this case. Karin left the Horn Palace at approximately 6:00 P.Mbf*'§f'
and walked to the Quincy Garage where he obtained his car. He was '
followed by Agents Chaffetz, Whitson, Cassidy and Suran, in two cars; Q
to the Shoreham Hotel at 5318 Sheridan Road. Kerin was seen to drive .
in the driveway at this hotel and unload his bags. - _ _ _- ,,r_ - v V _'- ..v - 92 . .'. _, _;
At about 7:00 P.M. Agents Whitson and Chaffetz were temporarily
relieved by Special Agent John L. Madala. Special Agents Cassidy ad.
Suran, in one car, parked about half a block away from the entrance of V
the hotel on Sheridan Road, observed an individual leave the Shoreham '
Hotel by foot. It was believed at the time that it was William Kerin 3
and these two Agents then drew up in front of the hotel and followed
this individual until it was definitely established that it was not L
Kerin. I ' - .' ,, '-II;-' I: __ ":1: - » H ;'.-. , Y

up the surveillance of Karin and followed him down Sheridan Road to Bel-
mont Avenue, where Karin turned from the road and proceeded down a street
closed to traffic. Agent Msdala considered it inadvisable to follow him

doun this closed street, as it would than become obvious to Karin that
Qhe was being trailed. p A by
Jackson Boulevard, in an effort to pick up thetrail again oi William V ;
Karin, but he could not be observed in the vicinity of that address.
Investigation was likewise conducted at the Horn Palace, 325 Plymouth 4
Court,lthe Rienzi Hotel, the Rienzi Recreation Parlor, the Stockyards
Inn and the address of 418?-B9 South Halsted Street, but Karin could ?-h _'
not be located» At 2:00 Add. onllay 19, 1955, Special Agent Medals
observed that Karin had returned to the Shoreham Hotel, still in poe-
session oi the Graham Paige coupe, which is registered in the State of
Florida under the name ot J. B. Moran, 1 A V V
It appearing that Karin was living at the Shoreham Hotel, and
pursuant to instructions received from Special Agent in Charge E. It
Connelley telephonically by Special Agent in Charge m." B. Purvis that '
it was not desirable to maintain a constant surveillanceon Karin, it j
being only necessary to determine his permanent address in Chicago at,
which place an investigation should be conducted and an intermittantf -I
surveillance maintained, Special Agent Suran, on Sunday, May 19, 1935, A 7,
proceeded to the Shoreham Hotel and observed the Graham Paige coupe which
was in the possession or Karin parked in the parking lot at the rear of
the Shoreham Hotel at 11:00 A.M., 4:00 Pm. and 9:00 PM.

V " Information was furnished the Chicago office by the Agents .
who trailed Karin from Louisville, Kentucky, and as will be noted in the
report of Special Agent N. B. Klein, Indianapolis, dated 5/22/35, to the
effect that Moran disappeared on the night of may 15, 1935, with _,Olds- ,
mobile coach from Louisville, Kentucky. These Agents also advised thatthe description of Moran as was iur§_shed by mail carrier Bonesh coincide
with the description of John Russel Moran, who had been under surveillan
at Louisville, Kentucky. In view of the above there is no doubt that it
was Moran who accepted the letter on May 14, 1955, at the gambling estab-
lishment on South Halsted Street; I I . S -= ' . .e ;l ~
Special Agent Suran communicated with Special Agent in Charge
E. J. Connelley at Cincinnati by telephone and advised him of the status
oi the investigation to date and Agent Suran suggested that someone be .
placed in the Stockyards Inn, under cover, in order that a surveillance
could be maintained at that place, as well as at the gambling establish-
ment across the street, to ascertain ii Moran could again be _located at -
that place or it Willie Harrison vas frequenting _th_at_ vicinity; _ _- L

on that date Agent Cassidy checked in at the Stockyards Inn, beingiregis- '-
ftered there in room 282 under the name of Mike Ryan. The report of Agent
Cassidy'a activities willbe incorporated hereinafter. " g _' -_ -, ; _-_' 5-~' fr-w -L
_- p Special Agent ~_R. C. Suran,'in an effortvto determine whether . p
the management of the Shoreham Hotel, 5318 Sheridan Road, was reliable,-1;-."
interviewed Mr. R. L. Vanderslice, Secretary, North Shore Hotel Lssocia-",1
tion, 520 North Michigan Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois. Er. Venderslice .
is favorably lmoin to the Chicago office. Hr. Vanderslice advised that
in the past the Shoreham Hotel had a very unfavorable reputation in that
it was known to be the headquarters of what was known as§"The Tim Murphy
gang", who had strong political connections, and efforts by the other
hotel operators in the vicinity to remove this gang from the neighborhood "
were unsuccessful due, as previously stated, to the gang's strong political
connections. However, more than two years ego Tim Murphyvas slain in A .
typical gangland fashion in the vicinity of the hotel. Mr. Vanderslice
stated that thereafter, to his information, no gambling games were operated
in the hotel. He furnished the further information tint the hotel is now
in receivership and is leased by the Chicago Title and Trust Company to V
Solomon Harrison, an attorney, who has had the same since April '1, 1934.
Mr. Vanderslice stated that he knows nothing about the reputation of - '
Solomon Harrison, but understands that the Shorehazn Hotel at the present
time is not very particular as to the guests received there and that
numerous gamblers and other individuals of the gangster type reside there
at the present time. Mr. Vanderslice stated that he had found Captain -
James Sammie of the Lincoln Park Police to be very reliable and suggested
that Captain Sammie might be able to furnish information concerning this
building. , _ C ; a = C 1 ' .1
' Captain Sarrmis was interviewed by Special Agent_R. C. Suran
and he advised Agent Suran that the building occupied by the Shoreham .~
Hotel is under the jurisdiction of the Chicago, City police, but that
his officers have jurisdiction to the building line, the principal juris-I ~
diction of the Lincoln Park Police being the boulevard, or Sheridan Road,
and Lake Shore Drive and the intervening park. Captain Sammie stated
that it was his information that at one tine gambling operations were
had in the Shoreham Hotel, but that he knows nothing of the present repu-
tation_oi the building. He stated, however, that he had a reliable offi-
cer who patrolled the boulevard in the vicinity of the building by the
name of V. Nelson, who possibly could furnish information of value. i-~~.- C I ' ...-.; '1 - . p. t _ .
" On LZayl8, 19 and 20 it was observed that the Lincoln Park C '
officers who patrolled the vicinity of the Shoreham Hotel frequent.l_y_-'- -
entered that building and for the most part remained constantly in the
near vicinity of it. Agent ascertained that one of these officers who

that the Shoreham Hotel is now under the active management ofEre. Solamon*;
Harrison, the wife of Solomon Harrison, the attorney. Officer Nelson;;.5C~s
stated that he personally considered the management as unreliable. Hp*f
stated, however, that there have been no gambling games in operation at -g
the hotel since the Harrisons took over the building. He furnished the '
further information that the hotel tenants are ninety percent Jewish fem-1
ilies, but others of poor reputation were permitted to live there. Officer
Nelson was shown photographs of John Russell Mbran and Willie Harrison and.
he advised that he had not observed anyone answering their descriptions in
the vicinity of the hotel. He advised that he was acquainted with the bell-
hop in the hotel and he was confident that this individual would not reveal
that an investigation is being conducted in connection with the hotel if
he were properly approached. .0fficer Nelson stated that he would get in

. - On theuxiorning osflviay 21, 1955, Bpecial Agents Madala anisui-an
maintained a surveillance at the Shorehanotel and Kerin was observed i l_-
leaving that place in his car at approximately 3:00 P;M. He proceeded.i 1
down Sheridan Road and visited the Lincoln Park golf course, but remained'
there only a short while, after which he left and proceeded toward the
east. Agents considered it advisable to discontinue the surveillance at
that point and returned to the Shoreham Hotel, at which place officer_, ~
Nelson was again contacted. Officer Nelson advised Agent Sursn that he '
had not contacted the bellhop previously referred to because he had de- V
termined that one Irving Knshner, U. S. Narcotic Inspector, resided in the
hotel and the assistant manager of the place was a good friend of Kushner's.
Officer Nelson stated that he believed that the proper contact could be made
with the assistant manager through Kushner,'and it would not be necessary
to contact the bellhop in the building. P;,c. ';! _ 3@
' Irving Khshner, U. S. Narcotic Inspector, was interviewed by ~.,
Agent Buran on.lhw'22, 1935, and he advised that he had resided at the i' "
Shoreham Hotel since February,_l955; that the hotel was occupied princi-
pally by Jewish families and in so far as he had been able to observe I
nothingirregular occurred at the hotel. Mr. Kushner stated that his wife
is very friendly with Hrs. Solomon Harrison, the manager; that us. Harrison
is prominent in Jewish activities in the city of Chicago and he considered
her to be a woman of good character. He stated, however, that he would not
approach Mrs. Harrison because she was inclined to be excitable and talka- g
iive, and that while she would not deliberately aid a criminal, she might...
§hrough indiscretion, reveal that investigation was being conducted.

Q ~
1' _ Mr. Kushner stated that Mr. C. Scott, assistant manager ofthe
hotel was a young man who had fonnerly been connected with the Statler Hotel
System and that he believed Mr. Scott could be relied upon to aid in the.
investigation in any nay possible. Hr. Kushner proceeded to the Shcreham
Hotel with Agent Sursn and introduced the latter to Mr. Scott. Hr. Kushner -
advised Mr. Scott that he would consider it efpersonal favorif llr. Scott fjl_'
would aid in any possible ,way in any investigation which would be conducted -'
in connection with the tenants of the hotel. Hr. Scott stated that he would
cooperate in every way possible. 1 He was then shown the photographs of John -
Russell Moran and Willie Harrison. Ir. Scott irsnediately indicated they h
photograph of Harrison as an individual known to him and he stated that he
could "put the finger" on him at any time he desired. He was advised that "
the apprehension of this individual was inmediately desired. Mr. Scott was
not furnished with the name of Karin and after observing the photographtof
Harrison he immediately left his office and returned with a notation of at
license number, which he stated was the license number of the car driven by
the individual who was identical with the likeness of Willie Harrison. He
furnished this license number as being FLORIDA D 5088, which, it will be -
noted, is the license number appearing on the car driven by Kerin. Ir.
Scott stated that the car was then parked in the parking space of the Shore?
ham Hotel, and that Hr. Karin was then in his apartment. " , ;
Y ~ ur. Scott than checked his records and determined that Karin". "
checked in at the Shorehsm Hotel on January 2'7, 1955 and continued to live
there until April 26, 1935, at which time he checked out of the hotel and
did not return until May 18, 1955. He stated that he had considerable
conversation frcm time to time with Kerin and was very friendly with him
that Kerin, when he first appeared at the hotel on January. 2'7, 1955, had
stated that he had just come in from Florida. Mr. Scott further advised
that Kerin had issued instructions that he did not care to receive any
telephone calls through the hotel switchboard, because he was separated 1;
from his wife end did not want his wife to locate him.'_ Mr. Scott stated
that he had observed from time to time in Mr. Kerin's room various pieces A
of gambling paraphernalia. He advised that Kerin, to his knowledge, has *
had no visitors in his apartment subsequent to May 18, 1955, and that the
only individual whom he knew of who had visited with Kerin prior to April.
26, 1955, was an individual he definitely identified as John Russell Xloran.
He stated that this individual. lived with Kerin for about one week prior to
lat- April 26, 1955; that he, Scott, upon discovery of this, fact, was contemp
ing talking to Kerin and charging him a double rate for his room, but that
Kerin and Moran checked out on April 26, 1955. In this connection, however;
I-Er. Scott stated that he did not knowthe name of the individual who had
occupied the room with Kerin, but that he was positive, after viewing the .
H h t a h of Moran that Moran wasthe person he had reference to. , ' 'P0081? .Q.. ... . . }.._ .. -s,_ _- ~ - '~ .92 ,-- '. __. 4 -» ,~"'1A'? J .1-.-..

' The registration card for Iilliam Karin was secured for Agents
Suran and Chaffetz by Mr. Scott, and an examination of the signature thereon
appeared to be dissimilar to the signatures in possession of the Chicago
Bureau office of William I. Harrison. A photostatic copy of this signature A
is attached to the copies of this report for the Bureau and the Cincinnati. -office. * ' " ' 1' '
Lir. Scott stated that he would permit Agents to use his per-
scnal apartment in the building for observation purposes, the same being
apartment 210. Kerin occupies apartment 514 at the hotel, and both rooms _
210 and 514 overlook the parking space of the Shoreham Hotel, where, at
the time of Agent's investigation, Kerin's car was parked. In this connec-
tion, Mr. Scott stated that Kerin always insisted on having a room overlook-
ing the parking space, stating that he desired to be in _a position to watch
his car at all times. , ., c - ' »
Agents Chaffetz and Suran took up a surveillance of Kerin's
car from room 210 and at approximately 5:00 P.M. Karin was observed leaving
the hotel and proceeding to his car, at which time the best opportunity "
to date was afforded Agents to view Kerin's facial characteristics. Both
Agents Chaffetz and Suran observed that there was a marked similarity in
the physical description of Kerin and Willie Harrison, but both were of
the opinion that Kerin was not identical with Harrison. However, Hr. -
Scott remains firm in his belief that they are identical. Mr._ Scott was
questioned further as to the activities of Karin and he was unable to
furnish any additional information with the exception that on one occasion
about tm years ago Karin stayed at the Shoreham Hotel for one or two __l . Vgnights, but that he didbnot come in close contact with him at thattime. '

5 After Karin left his apartment, Agents Suran and Ghaffetz
were given permission by~nr. Scott to enter Kerin's apartment» It was
observed that his bags had not been unpacked, merely opened and lying_
about the room, _,On one of these bags was noted the initials "V1.8-K. »
which appeared to have been on the bag for quite some time. * Agent --~'¢=i
Chaffetz made an examination of the open bags and found nothing therein Q
whichvgwould indicate any connection of Karin with any subject of this
case or anything which appeared to-be of value inthisinveatigation.

These Agents then removed two waterglasses and an alanm .»~
clock from Kerin's room and the same were examined by Agent Ghaffetz
for latent fingerprints. Several latents were found by Agent Chaffetz
who lifted same and compared them with the fingerprints of Iilliam J.
Harrison, none of which was identical; These latents were subsequently
forwarded to the Bureau for comparison with the fingerprints of other
subjects in this case and all individuals on file in the Identification
Unit under the name ofgwilliam Karin, in an effort to locate a criminal
record for this individual; - -' ~ '.. . - - ., '4_ l,-_ A _-- , - .1 , .,- --. - ~ t. p. ~ -~ . s '.-_ .
A ' Special lgent Medals had previously attempted to_.locate a .
record of William Karin at the Chicago Police Department, at which place
he found an arrest record for William Karin, 2756 Pine Grove Avenue,
Chicago, Illinois, under date of 5/6/33, on a charge of non support of
wife. A description of Karin is given as: Age, 56; height, 5' 8"; build,
medium; complexion, light; eyes, brown; hair, brown; weight, 170 pounds.
It will be noted that this description corresponds closely with the des-
cription of William Karin at the Shoreham Hotel and is some corroboration
of Kerin's story that he did not want his wife to get in touch with him
as he is separated from her. There were no fingerprints or photographs ~
on record or Y-illiam Kerin, who had been arrested by the cnieagp Police-
Deparnent. _ _ _; U - ' ._,: J .;W."' ~ V _* -_

On may 22, 19:55, Mr. Thomsen, Superintendent of the Stockyards
Post Office sub-station, communicated with the Chicago Bureau office by
telephone and advised that a letter with a meter postage, two cents first
class, had been received at the postal station, bearing the return address
of 110 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, addressed to John R. Morgan, 4165
South Halsted Street,Chicago.. He stated that the carrier, upon observing
the similarity of names, John R. Morgan and John R. Moran, and the address
4165 South Halsted Street, endeavored to deliver this letter to the gambl-
ing establishment above 4187-89 South Halsted Street, and that upon making
inquiries at that place he was advised that Moran had gone back to St. Louis.

.4--lf Mr. c. Scott advised that after Karin left the hotel on may
§25, 1955, he called back to the hotel and inquired as to Ihether any '
messages had been left for him. Mr. Scott further advied on this date
that Sam Eisenstein at one time operated a laundry establishment one ,,,.l¢
Diversey Parkway and nor probably operates the Oomonwealth Band Laundryhtpf
and Valet Shop located at 511 West Diversey Parkway, to Ihich place Karin, _ vi
placed a telephone call on May 21, 1955. Scott stated that Karin had left
him $5.00 to give to this individual for laundry; that at this time E1aené'
stein advised him, Scott, that he had been taking care of the laundry {qr
Kerin for the past few years and that he was still doing laundry "for the
few of the gang that are left". Lt this time Hr. Scott further advised
that he had come across a telephone call which had been received for Karin
on May 15, 1955, which was prior to the time Karin returned from Louisville,
Kentucky. He stated that for some reason this message had not been given
to Kerin. The message requested that Kerin call Max L. Ray, Triangle 8400.
It was determined that this telephone number is listed to James E. McElroy',
8005 South Paulina Street, in connection with which reference is made to
report of R. H. Klett, dated Jacksonville, Florida, Emy 18, 1955, wherein
it is stated that John R. Moran can probably be located through Danny ~.
McFarland's sister, Mrs. Mblroy, B005 South Paulina Street, Chicago, '~
Illinois. * s'» . V. . _ -
Subsequent to the return of Kerin to Chicago Agent Suran from
time to time has visited the vicinity of 8005 South Paulina Street, in an
effort to observe, if possible, the Oldsmobile car bearing Florida license
No. D 9550, but at no time was this car seen in that vicinity. . _v, ,...,,._ . . . .. _ .---- ..
V Mr. Scott now states that he has a recollection that at one
time he saw Karin in the gambling place known as the Michigan Ohio Club,
which is operated by Johnny 0'Connors, a local ward politician; that this
gambling establishment is located across the street from the St. Clair _
Hotel on Ohio Street. Mr. Scott_furnished the further information that "
about 11:00 P.M. on May 24, 1935, an individual about six feet in height
and weighing in the neighborhood of two hundred pounds, called in person
at the hotel and inquired as to whether Bill Karin was in; that this in-
dividual appeared to be gruff in his manner and was impatient at the ser-
vice he received at the hotel. Mr. Scott stated that this individual,
upon receiving information that Kerin was not in the hotel, imediately
left the building and that he, Scott, proceeded to the front of the hotel
and observed him entering a car which was believed to be a Graham Paige
sedan bearing a Florida license No. D 12712. By telegraphic inquiry of. _
the Jacksonville Bureau office, it was learned that this license number
was issued to William T. Seymour, 229 Northeast First Street, Eami, Florida,
for a Graham sedan engine Nb. 1016540.. ,1 1:4 .I~ . A" P _~. ,..

in communicating with the Chicago office after l:0O AJI. ibis -
inasmuch as a clerk is on duty all night long at the ChicagoBureau office and this is the second occasion upon which-ms claimed
he saw Harrison and was unable to get in touch with the Chicago office afterthe midnight hourt For this reason not much reliability is placed in

if ' The following section of this report concerns investigation
conducted by Special Agent M. J. Cassidy at the Horn Palace Tavern, 4189
South Halsted Street,and other places in that inumdiate vicinity;~~ *~_-
' ' It will be noted that Agent Cassidy engaged room 282 at the -
Stockyard In, which is directly across the street from the Horn Palace '
Tavern, on the afternoon of Hey 20, 1955- Boom 282 is located directly . -
opposite the above address and afforded Agent Cassidy an opportunity to
observe the activity of patrons of the saloon and the persons who fre~
quented the Union headquarters and the gambling establishment, both of
which are located upstairs of the building occupied by the Horn Palace
tavern. This surveillance was continued from the hours of about 1:00
P. M; until 12:00 midnight from.Nby 20 until Hwy 24, 1955, the surveill-
ance being discontinued on the latter date at about 6:00 P.M., for the
reason that it was believed that John Russell Moran was no longer in the '
vicinity, it appearing that he had probably gone to St. Louis, Nssourie.
, .,._ _. ,
During the entire course of thesurveillance maintained by ,_Agent Cassidy neithgg thlGraham Paige coupe bearingygloridqflicense No.
D 5088 nor the gray ldsmobile coach bearing Florida icense No. D 9350
was seen in the vicinity of the Stockyard Inn, the Horn Palace td¥¬¥5:'or _
the Dakota Hotel, which is now located at 741 Root Street, the latter ad-
dress being located near Halsted Street on Root. However, there was ob-
served a maroon colored l932 Chevrolet coach bearing Florida license No.
2l9-912. This car was parked for a short period of time in front of the
Horn Palace tavern and thereafter was observed to have been driven to the '
saloon located at 4127 South Halsted, where it remained for several hours.
Information concerning the above listed license number was forwarded to
"the Chicago office by the Jacksonville office and was to the effect that
that license was issued to William J. Brodericke, 522 Northeast 36th Street,Miami, Florida, foridhevrolet coach motor No. 3272003, title No. 985021»
Following receipt of the foregoing information, Agent Cassidy
again observed the above described car bearing Florida license No. 219912
parked in front of the saloon at 4127 South Halsted Street, and in order
to obtain a better view of the individual who was seen operating the auto-
mobile on the previous occasion, Agent Cassidy went into the saloon and
noted that there were three or four individuals drinking at the bar and one
of these individuals was overheard to make a remark in which the name
Brodericke was used, the rmark apparently being directed to the bartender,
who it appears is the Brodericke to whom the Florida license is issued.
Neither the bartender nor any of the patrons in any way resembled the sub-
jects in this case or John Russell.Nbran who is indicated as being friendly1
E with certain subjects. . i . . F

During the course of the investigation set out Agent Cassidy T-».
was driving a 1932 Ford coupe, which is a confiscated car in possession ~-is
oi the Chicago Bureau office, and on successive nights this automobile - "
~ was parked in garageslocated in the vicinity oi the Horn Palace Tavern, ~
~ one being the Drovers Garage, _4l56 Emerald Avenue, and the other a public '"'
garage located at 4138 South Helsted Street. It was observedthat neither -

V garages. ' .,,, ,- if-,l . K-V, ;_, 1; u;-1 ;.- .. i ': _ ,5
It should be noted that during the period or this observation
Agent Cassidy mingled with the other guests at the Stockyard Inn and the
bar operated in connection with the Inn, and also mingled with the patrons
oi the Horn Palace Tavern, but that no one of the appearance 01 John Russell
Moran, William I. Harrison, or any oi the known members or the Karpis-Barker
gang was seen in the vicinity under surveillance. No opportunity presented
~ itself to allow Agent to gain entrance to the gambling room located above
the Horn Palace Tavern.» However, in view or the fact that it is necessary
V to proceed through the Horn Palace Tavern in order to enter this roam, it
- was possible for Agent Oassidy to observe P . all persons frequenting this __;
establishment during the period of surveillance and no one resenbling any
" of the above individuals was seen. J _ 1» _ A A 74/P MJ

fwith Kirby on several occasions while he was keeping this place under
surveillance for th6~pOBS1bl6 apprehension of Harrison and Kirby, an *
old time vaudeville trouper, appeared to be the man who might be able-:
to provide valuable information regarding persons who frequented Cicero,
Illinois, and especially persons who might be_responsible_for willfully
hiding out Harrison at the*hy~Eg_ElBb4_jh;,é;,._.V;§nL;J; ,. {.r, Ari
Later investigation developed that Kirby has no longer employed
at the Town Club, but was presently employed at the Sixteen Club, 123
North Crawford Avenue. On may 10, 1955, Special Agents R. H. Hicks and
D. P. Sullivan called at the Town Club and interviewed Kirby. It is to,
be noted that Agent Hicks formerly was in the theatrical business and
during a casual conversation had with Kirby he had stated that he was
acquainted with Agent Hicks. Kirby, upon interview, stated that he has
been master of ceremonies and entertainer at night clubs in_Chicago tor
several years. He was questioned as to the identity of the persons S,
Operating the HyéHo Club, and he advised that he did not know who was ?1_
operating it at the present time} that the Town Club, which is reported
to be still owned by Al and Ralph Capone, is presently operated by a
man named Harry Kersh; that Kersh is reported to be a legitimate business
man, but because of his connections with the lessee of the premises from
the Capone syndicate, Kirby stated that he did not believe Kersh would
provide any information regarding the possible connections of Harrison
and other members of the Karpis-Barker gang at Cicero,_Illinois. Kirby,'
was shown photographs of all members of the Karpis-Barker gang, which '"
he stated he failed to recognize. From the conversation had with Kirbyit appeared that he was reluctant to provide any information that.he might

of her husband, that Frank Furlett, a piano player who formerly played
in an orchestra at the Hy-Ho Club and is well acquainted in Cicero mightO
be able to provide information regarding persons who might be connected
with Harrison or tr i ' ' o er members of the arpis-Barner gang at Cicero. She
stated that Furlett undoubtedly was a member'of the Musicians Union and
that his address could be obtained through this union. ~ ; " ~_ . . _; . _:- - p __ , __ _~ , , I p . .._ , l ,__ - .. .' . .. - ~, 1' _- __; '92'.. _ 5, . , - -_.' . .._ ._ 1 - - Q -~ . . . 92 < - - » 5 at ,.-_ - . _, I

the promise that Bremer turn the currency over to the third pa1ty_'1,n'3t_e'.'*=, ~
aul upon his release, She does not know whether the proceeds of these 1 g bonds were ultimately given to Doc Barker. She also stated that the 1'7-
reason the Barker-Farpie gang kidnaped Braner was because he had double-' 7
crossed them on his deal and that the kidnaping was merely retaliation
for_his action in this regard. Miss Gonlifi also stated that she had

the syndicate a few weeks later and the syndicate refused to help Bolton _
in any way; that this information was subsequently furnished to lire.
Bolton and Miss Conliff believes that in view of the fact that the 'syndi-

IEBSEX COACH, motor Ho. 50893 - NATIONAL MJTOR VEHICLE THEFT ACT", with
Indianapolis as the offfEE'8f origin. During the course of the interview »,
Nickel stated that the before mentioned Essex coach was stolen frcm him
on February 7, 1935, at Blue Island, Illinois. He had previously been e
interviewed and shown photographs, and tentatively identified the pboto- .
graph of Volney Davis as being similar in appearance to one of the four
men who had stolen the above mentioned car 1'1-cm him at the point of guns. '{Norman A. Nickel with reference to the file entitled "UNDIOWN SUBJECTS,
On May '7, 1935, Mr. Nickel, upon being again interviewed by
agent Callahan and Special Agent D. P. Sullivan, who is the reporting
Agent, was shown pictures of various members of the Karpis-Barker gang
and he selected the photograph of Volney Davis, stating that he could not
definitely identify Davis as being one of the men who stole his Essex coach,
inasmuch as it was dark at the time of the theft, but that they were slender
in appearance and he noted that one ofthe men's face was shaped somewhat -
similar to Volney Davis face. He stated that this man was approximately '
thirty years of age, adding that all of the men appeared to be about that
age. It is to be here noted that three of the suspects who are believed '
to have stolen Mr. Nickel's car are_in custody and they range from 21 to 25
years of age. Mr. Nickel was asked the writer's and two other Agent's ages,
who happened to be in the office, and he approximated all three agent's ages
to be 3'? and 58 years, while all three are 29 or under. When Mr. Nickel
stated that the men tho robbed him are approximately 50 years of age, he
undoubtedly referred to men who were probably under 22 or 25 years of age.
There is no other information indicating that Volney Davis was one of the
four men who stole Nicke1's car, three of whom are already in custody. ~

that his business consists primarily of the examination of factories and Vindustrial plants to ascertain the valuation for insurance pruposes. He

in the restaurant, Agents Ihitson and Suran returned to the Colonial: .
Inn and entered the room occupied by .T.' Nolte, at which time Agents --
Iere accompanied bythe proprietor of the hotel; It was noted that ,:' 1*-.
the laundry mark on the clothes in this room was "3'.H.H."'; a1so,~1n ,,n,=~
of the bags in this roanvwere found several letters addressed to me; 2
Dorothy Omart, 19 East Bellevue, Chicago, Illinois, em bore we return 2.
address Box 11?, Breda, Iowa. Another letter bore the return address s_
_"'M. Jones, D. A. Box 11?, Breda, Iowa . Mr. Briggs furnished the further
information that Nolte received two long distance telephone calls since .
he hasregistered there from liarshalltown, Iowa; that these calls were
made to the telephone mnnber at the Colonial Inn, No. 416; that he had
made outgoing telephone calls from the telephone booth in the hotel,
telephone No. 1588. Some stationery of the Croydon Hotel, Chicago, was
found in one of the begs in this room and apparently this is the hotel
from which he had received the letter from room 92 on May 28, 1935. The
letters in this room were not read by Agents, inasmuch as Mr.'_Briggs did '.=
not desire that Agentscranain in the room long enough for that purpose. ;
' On May 28, l935, the Chicago office received a telegram
the San Francisco office advising that three men driving a grey Lesalle
roadster with Illinois license plates No. 359-793 were observed at dub
California, on May 2'7, 1955, headed East; that one of these individuals
resembled subject Davis; that one man approximately fifty years of age,
was the driver of the car, gave the nameof Edwardlf, Schulte, address 1
North State Street, Chicago, Illinois. ' - ' T ;.=._=i-_-.
p ._ , I v 2 Special Agent in Charge M. He Purvis determined that lilino;.
licens_e"559-795 was issued to the National Portrait Company by E. V ~Sch e,
17 North State Street, Chicago, _Illinois, for Auburn car, factory No. 810:9engine No. cc 2045; that E. v. Schulte resided at sooo North Sheridan Beet
Chicago, telephone Lakewood 2470, and operated the Schulte Optical Companyat 17 North State Street,» telephone Dearborn 2700. - bju A 5
. , . _ ,1Special Agent Li. Chaffetz called the numbers LakewoodL24'7O an
Dearborn 2700, under pretext, and was informed that Hr. Schulte was out of
the city; that he had gone to Mexico for a vacation and did not expect to
return for a month. It appears that the only possibility is that Schulte
ma h ve icke s altho in view of the identification of Davis Y H P nah .
at the home of on May 24, 1935, it does not appear reasonabli
that he would be . ornia on the 27th. However, it would be possibl
and Schulte will be interviewed concerning this matter upon his arrival i
Chicago. The San Francisco office was advised by wire of the above info:tion. ' ' 2 * _. Y '1 /
