Alden, Illinois » .. e _ __..;_ W,
Rois is a town of 170 population, located in the northwestern section of licenry
County on State Highway #173 and served by the Chicago at Northwestern Railroad.
L. G. Nigh, who is postmaster and operates the only store in Alden, stated that in
January and February there were only two passenger trains and an occasional freight
train passing through here each day, and no switching is done. The westbound
train was due at 10:30 A. ll. and the eastbound at 2:30 P. M. The freight trains
generally passed through at 2:00 L. M. and 9:45 P. M . There is neither a factory
whistle nor siren here and none can be heard. There is only one church but it
hasn't bells. There are neither lumber ccmpanies, wall paper supplies, nor paper
hangers in Alden. There is but one gasoline station located off the highway, »
operated by Irvin and Glenn Bertelm. Postmaster Nigh was unable to recognize
eitherthe names or photographs oi the suspects. He felt sure there is no house
here answering the description oi the Brener hideout. The photographs were shown

Madison, Wisconsin - 5/15/54 _ , , _ _ "" 1--»~--* "-
an informant stated to Agent Gillespie that about two years ago a nan by the '
name of Touhy came to Madison, Wisconsin from Chicago, Illinois and_built a road-
bouse about two nilea south of Madison; tat he understood the building cost'.' }=
about $23,000.00; that the place was operated by some connection of the Roger _
Touhy gang of Chicago; that the place had a shady reputation and was presently I
being run by a man by the name of Touhy. Informant stated that while he had no
definite facts he strongly suspected that this was the place where Edward George
Broer was held captive by his kidnapers.0,
agent visited the above mentioned place,which is located on highway 12-18 and is
situated about two miles south of the city of Madison; Lake Monona lies about
400 yards north of the Garden Lunch, the name of the Roadhouse, and the Chicago
& Korthestern Railroad main line runs between the lake and the_Garden,Lunch;
about two miles away is the Madison Municipal Airport, which serves as a stopping
place for the Horthwest Airways Line. The building is a two-story brick and
stucco structure. Entrance is made into the bar-room, the bar being tothe loft
and the balance of the large room being used as a dining room where patron are
served meals, _, _,,_ M _ ,_ _ __, __ ,_,_ _, q_ ___, ,_,, w __ _
A woman appearing to be about forty years old, reddish blond hair, scar on left
side of face, fair complexion, and identified later as the wife of the proprietor,
waited on the bar. To the rear or the Garden Lunch is an infrequently used road
that forms a V with Highway 12-l8. The rear of the building is on a lower level
than the front and there is a drive-in garage underneath the rear of the building.
Agent was unable to observe whether there were any roms on the basement floor
other than the garage. To enter the main floor franiim roar there are about
ten steps up made of wood. Entry to.the basement floor apparently would be rade
through thegarage door, which is on the rear ground level. , L
Cegtain Howard Mowery, Manager, municipal Airport, Madison, Wisconsin, stated
that his place of business is about two miles from the Garden_Lunch and that the
place has been known as ahideout for criminals. Captain Bowery stated that for
the past six months the place has been apparently very quiet and during this
latter period he had not heard anything concerning the place.
Sheriff Fred T. Finn, Dane County, residence at County Jail, Madison, Wisconsin,
stated that the Garden Lunch was built_about two years ago by William toey not
Touhy! and that he understood William Toey was a brother or cousin of Roger Touhy
of Chicago; that Toey and his wife and sixteen-year old daughter cane from Chicago
and paid $22,000.00 cash in the construction of Garden Lunch; that on one or two
occasions he was suspicious of the place and on one occasion about a half year ago
an informant told him to watch the place as a certain car was coming into the
place frequently and would always rernve the license plates as soon as it arrived;
that the place was watched for several weeks but nothing was learned. Sheriff
Fin: stated that he had seen Toey, who is,a small, slender built man with sandy
hair and partly bald.921

B1: letter dated may llth, 1934, Jack Cusack, Police Officer, Lake Geneva, nscsn-
sin, informed this office that he believed a house to be located in his vicinity
Ihich would answer the description of the hideout. Accordingly the_followi_ng V
investigation was conducted by Special Agent Rice of this office: " Y A
I. R. Hopkins, Officer, Lake Geneva, Iisconsin, was contacted by Agent Rice con- w
cerning the information he had furnished by letter to the Chicago Office. Hopkins
stated that several months ago, Deputy Sheriff, Cecil Gardiner, at Elldiorn, lis-
consin, advised him that Agent Brown had contacted their office at Elkhorn and
had furnished certain information relative to the characteristics of a hideout in
which a victhn in a recent kidnaping had been held. Hopkins advised that he was
well acquainted with the country surrounding Lake Geneva and with the information
nu-nished him by Deputy Sheriff Gardner, he believed that some of the character-
ist ics suited a house located on the William Urigley,.Tr. estate, which is near
Lake Geneva." / . ,1 1~ e A- > . . _ .
Agent accompanied officer Hopkins to the Wrigley estate where I. D. Bailey, the
manager oi same, was located and pemission was granted to examine the estate.
This estate is situated about two miles west of Lake Geneva on what is known as
the "Old Snake Road" and which is reached by proceeding one mile west on State
Highway #50 frat: Lake Geneva. Inspection of the house officer Hopkins had refer-
ence to, disclosed that same is the servant quarters of one of the guest houses
on the estate and is located at the entrance to the estate. This house was built
in 1930 and has a basement, four roazns on the first floor and two roans on they
second floor, same having not been occupied since last sunmer. The floor plan in
no way is similar to that furnished by the victim. The walls of this house are
painted and it is heated by an oil furnace. It IOUld be impossible to hear auto-
mobile traffic on state Highway #5O_ due to the fact that e hill separates the
distance of about half a mile; neither could any noises similar to those of a
locomotive be heard as the railroad is one and a half miles from the estate. There
is hardly any automobile traffic on Old,Snake Road. -
Kr. Bailey stated that he lives on the estate, which consists of eighty acres on
Lake Geneva, and it is his duty to inspect each day all the houses that are not
occupied. Inspection of the houses on the estate disclosed that none of than
contain any of the distinguishing elanents reflected in the victim's statement;
also, that further investigation disclosed none of the outstanding noises present.
Photcgraphs of Subjects and their associates were exhibited to Mr. Bailey and
Officer Hopkins but they were not successful in identifying any of than as parties
known to them. _
Er. Bailey stated that he has been employed by his present employer, Mr. Wrigley,
since 191?. It was ascertained that 1.1:-. Bailey has an excellent reputation in
this com'.uu;.ity and has never been known to associate with questionable characters.
The following memorandum is submitted by Special Agent T. E. Billings:

~ ~ * him and his cousin, R. B. lellon, today, at which time they asked
ehcther additional precaution should be taken. I reiterated shat I"~"

they felt that a bodyguard was necessary such action should be taken
by thme

probably arouse the suspicion of persona sho know the family and con-

Deer Mr. Bislaski:
Further reference is zmde to your personal letter
dated key 22, 1924, trensziitin; a report of one of your agents,
dated at Sumter, South Caroline, Uhy 18, 1934, therein information
obtained from an infcrmst is set forth relative to the operation
of certein numbers of thc underworld. _
In connection nitk the strterent contained in the
report submitted by your agent to the effect that the information
contained therein bed been offered to e Special Agent of this
Division, but that the Agent did not appear to be interested in,
nor &ppIGC1£tiYC of the i£fCIELti0D offered him, please be ad-
v;sc3 t;;t 1 ax n;r i; reac"_t cf n Fetter from the Charlotte
Office of this Division, explaining that your Ira J. H. Forbes
and special Agent D. K. Brent had made several attempts to arrange
e meeting with the informant of Er. Forbes for the purpose of '
developing further the information which he had previously furnished
to Er. Forbes. Failing to errun;e this meetixg, en effort was made
to obtain the name of the informant but ur. Forbes refused to dis-
close the source of his infor1etion, end eypurently took the position
that this DiViS1OE was nut interested in obtaining the information
as indicated in his report.
Because of your interest and cooperation in the work of
this Division, I wanted to bring this matter to your attention so
that you will understand the situation referred to by Hr. Forbes
in his report to you dated Hay 18, 1954. Please be assured that

DETAILS: LT RENO, HEVADA
" " Talmadge Smith, fomer United States Attorney, Byington Building,
Reno, Nevada, was interviewed. 1.-Zr. Smith apparently has no information whatever
relating to this case. He is seeking to he elected City Attorney at Reno,
A Nevada, and is eager to have an Agent of this Division make investigations. . ,
at I-Reno, Nevada, which have no bearing whatever on this case, relating tc
narcotics and other matters. Be stated that some of the prominent Government
officers in Reno were corrupt and that he ranted the Government to clean up
Reno. _ _ A A »
Er. Smith brought Clyde Beecher, a close personal friend of his
ngndk who controls most of the slot machines in Reno, to his office. Ir.
Beecher related that he had lost $42,000.00 in the Wingfield Banks and that
' he was bitterly fighting the Graham-l.!cKay group and in his opinion Friech
was taken for a ride by agents of Graham and McKay. ilr. Beecher stated that
in order to get something "on him".
Neither Beecher nor iknith had any information of value. Fran

in learning whet information was in the Govermna1t's possessioni~ :I regarding the activities of Graham and I-icKay. Oi course, Agenti declined to give them any information whatever relating to thisE, C856;
Agent subsequently mde cautious inquiry as to
_ Talmdge Smith and learned from several sources which were thoroughly
'* reliable, that it is said in Reno that Smith is e Graham-McKay
~ man and that Graham and McKay, the two leading gamblers and
operators at Reno, are instrumental in having Smith elected City

I view or this situation it is believed it would be - n
advisable to not further contact Smith in any subsequent investigations.-

Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter dated June 9, 1934, request-
ing that a complete statement be obtained from Special Agent
D. K. ent, .Tr., concerning his contact with a representativeof tT".e%atione1 Board of Fire Underwriters at Sumter, South
Carolina, at whicli tine it has been alleged that Agent Brent
did not apper interested in infornation furnished bin concern-
ing the activities of a gr sup of gangsters who were planning
the kidnaping of various individuals, including Andrew Mellon,
please be advised that 1.1:. Reed, former Acting Special Agent
in Charge of this office, has already discussed this with Agent
Brent, and advised the Division by letter under date of Hay 31,
1954, in the case entitled nL"vnr¢;;;+P1s, with aliases, Identifi-
cation Order 1218; 1E<TI~T_"R R.¢B1£>.l1;R, with aliases, IdentificationOrder 1219, et al; ED-'.';{RD GE'.E}EUB?E?EB - VICTIM, KID.YAPIlTC--
There is enclosed s copy of mr. Reed's letter, wherein
it will be noted that Agent Brent states that the informationalleged to have been furnished him by 3-2r'%Iorbes was never given
him. I have again discussed this matte with Agent Brent, and
he states that he has contacted Lir. Forbes on several occasions
in an effort to have him divulge the source of his information.
fir. Forbes refuses to do this, but states that he will accompany
A7-ext to interview his informant, who resides in Greenville,
3 th Carolina. ajezt Brent states that he has offered to carry
..r. Forbes to Greenville, but 1.1:. Forbes has declined the in-
vitation, stating that an interview can not be arranged with his
informant until he, Forbes, has occasion to visit Creenville on so_meof hisbusiness. RECORD? 2 .

According to Agent Brent, shortly after his last
pers:nal contact with Er. Forbes, Li. Forbes called him by
teleyhone and stated that he would be in Greenville, South
C£2;lf'u, in a day or two, and would see an Agent there.
The file reflects that Ajezt Brent immediately furnished
this infonnation by telephone to Er. Reed, but due to oter
ekmrgency matters it was not possible to have an Agent in
Greenville at that time. _
With reference to Lb. Forbes' statement that he
hai given his information to Hr. W. Fred Xewnan, State Detec-
tive, Governor's Office, Columbia, South Carolina, in order
that I2. Newman coeld proceed to Washington for a personal
interview with tie Director, I might state that several attempts
have been naie in the last tfree weeks to contact LI. Iewzan
in various places without success, due to the fact that he
travels over the entire state of South Caroline. Every effort
is being made to have lb. Forbes and Kr. Newman interviewed for
all information which they have in order that this matter may
be given thorou;h and vigorous attention.
Very truly yours,

Special '_ent in Charge

Reference is made to your letter dated Hay 86, l934,
with which were transmitted copies of a letter fran Hr. A. Bruce
Bislaski of The Rational Board at Fire Underwriters, I5 John
Street, New York City, ew York, together with copies of a letter
dated at Sumter, South Carolina, lay 18, 1954, addressed to Ir. _
Bielaski by Ilr. I. E. Forbes, an Agent of that company. ha -V!
Iozbes states in his letter that _Bpeoial Lgent__Dunca.n K. Brent _
of this office was "not interested in Ii did not qapreoiate I -.
the information which was contained therein. I wish to eel]. to
your attention the fact that this infomation was never given to
Agent Brent by Mr. Forbes, and furtherlore that the investiga-
tion in this matter has been considerably delayed by Ir. Forbes
attitude. Le evidenced by the Charlotte Office file in this
case entitled Charles Arthur Iloyd, with aliases, Fugitive,
lliscellsneous, Hr. Forbes has refused to divulge the name of ht
informant in Greenville, South Carolina, stating that he himself
must be present when this woman is interviewed by an Agent of
the Division. Yihen questioned by Agent Brent, lb. Forbes ad-
Yised that he could not lake s special trip .to Greenville for
this purpose, but would wait until called there on business.
On May 2, 1954, efforts were made to interview Hr.
Iorbea, but it was learned that b was absent from Sumter, South
Carolina, at that time
Shortly after this, Agent Brent received a telephone
call frcm Hr. Iorbea, advising that he had further information
concerning this matter, and 22 was advised that an Agent of the
Division would call upon him in the near future. At the sameQ. It

He readily admitted that he had made a trip to Ne! Orleans, lllt
Iinter stating it Ins dons for his health. He denied ever having
been in Chicao or St.Paul. Comparison or Schradsr_with photo-
grsgh of Mead indicates that there is a very close resemblance
but that their features are similar enough to predicate the "
statement that they are not the same person. Mrneihy had
previously advised the agent that Mead has an extensive criminal
record. Schrader also advised that he maintained e postal
savings account in Washington, D.C. at the F Street station
and that three of his fingerprints were impressed on same for
ident;fication.
Elise H. B. Roushe, assistant to the Chief of Person-
nel, General Accounting Office, advised agent over the telephone
that Schrader was employed by the Accounting Office for a period-
of 34 years, prior to his resignation on June 50, 193$. In view
or subject's lengthy government service and the tact that observ-
ation ot him refute the idea of his being Mead, no further
investigation will be conducted.

Mrs. Bartley advises that on last Saturday,
June 9, as she was proceeding in a car out
Pennsylvania Avenue, S. E. at about 3:30 PM
she noticed another car travelling in the ssme
direction which contained three men, one of whom
was riding on the back seat. The car was a
Ford V8 carrying Iichigan license number 5260.
The man on the beck seat was very thin and'wore
e gray suit and a cap and had medium dark hair.
He vrry closely resembled, in the opinion of
Lrs. Bartley, the pictures of Karpis. The man
driving the car resembled Dillinger and wore e
blue suit and straw hat.
Krs._Eart1ey said that the resemblance of these
men to the yictures of Karpis and Dillinger wer
so striking that she stared at them, whereupon
the man driving the car made e "face" at her,
turned the car sharply and drove in to either
10th or 11th Street, app e "_ Q1 e .e utown. ' ,_O_

I telephoned Lgmt in Charge Blake, to Iaa at Ildlotlaial,
Texas, Ihich ie about 25 niloe from Dallaa. ,_
I iufc-ra.ed hla that Ir. Gordon, of th Burns Detective Agency,
is at Oklahoma City, that Ir. Brantley is laneae City and I have
been unable to reach him that we still desire to carry out the eue ~
arrangement previously lode, in other cords, he isn't aware of the
fact that we know all about the matter. I told hi: that Gerda
claim: he has located Clark, and po aibly Barker and Inrpis; that he,
Gordon, atated he contacted our Oklahoma City Office and that the
man no contacted wasn't ecqleinted the matter, whereupm he
called Shaman burns, who in tum called HG, inquiring as to whether
we could bring eouebooy into Ollahozae. City Lanaiiatcly rho could
take care of too utter. Upon try inquiry, Er. aT>lr.ke stated be could
get to Qklahone City in about 8 hours, be there by tomorrow
morning. I inltructod .4,-. Elm; to proceec to Okleiloon City and
contact Cordon at the lingkede Hotel. I told hi: the original plan 92
was for Gordon to contact our Uxlahoma City Office, informing it as to
where tneee people v-ere, an: wc toulc aeseoble a large enough force to '
sake time drive. I told hill I no-ale cull lr. Black, Lnltructing his 5
to have enough can available co that when he, Ir. Bloke, arrives,
he i»llc..:e able to take lmodlate action. I cautioned Sir. Blake not L
to ineiccte to Ur. Coroon that he knows anything about the be.ck4ro92l!d,
but to keep his eyes open. Ir, Blake will proceed by tr,-.-.ln, contacting _
Gordon immediately upon hie arrival there. I told him to do anything $4
he felt necessary. ,

I called Hr. Brantley at lemme City relative to this letter,
and informed him that Clark had been located with Kerpis and Barker,
according to Er. Burns, but that by reason of the delay in getting
nnyboay in our Oifice to function, they think Zarpie and Barker have
disappeared. I expressed my rlieplcnsure at being unable to locate
hie, Brantley, at lenses City, an well as being unable to reach In
Black at Oklahoma City. I called an attention to the rm. um. when
the Agent in Charge of an office leaves the office he should by all
means leave word ee to chore he can be reached by phone. I told Ml
I that Mr. Blake is taking care of the mutter, since I had been unable
to reach hin, Er. Brantley. Er. B1 antloy stntcc be could p1"OC 'Od to
Oklahoma City tonight, returning to Kansas City lonoey coming. I
' told him he should do this, and in the meantime to make some arrangement:

Hr, Blaze replied tun Delgado acted as if he expected somebody ea: on to

eerrente ehich they got et leeon City, Iewe, end elee leerned et Peril that they
ned been telling to the Chief of Police ebout working en the Dillinger oeee.
I eteted to Ir. Bleke thet it ie entirely reasonable end peeeible thet e Qief

the utter; thet it ie not e ceee in which I'm in the least omcerned ebout
keeping truck of these seen, elthough it ie deeired thet lm done without their
knowing ebout it, if possible, beceuso if the Burns people hed deelt openly Qd
honestly with ue, it eould be quite different. Ittold Ir. Blake that of coarse
I desired to evoid being "spotted" on thie wetter, but that if we were "spotted,"
end tun Burns people proteeted here, we would eimply etate thet we hed been
eweit.in,; e-and from then; that we didn't know they more working m this; that
they didn't tell ua enything ebout Delgado end ebout having een et Perle, Texee;
end that we didn't how it Ina the oelze crowd that they talked to ue ebout two
seeks ego; mrther, that the Borne om hed been edvertieiog the feet that they
were Io:-king on the Dillinger netter, having done IO et lemon City, at Iclleoter,
end et Peris. ' -
Upm Ir. Blake: inquiry, I lteted I believed Dillinger wee involved in
the L-inscn City bank robbery. I told I-ire Blake I nu particularly concerned
ebout the etory concerning Sonny and that crowd, end an intereeted in escor-
teining ehe:-e they ere. I suggeeted that they any be in that perticuler plece
in Dklehocm. Hr. Blake etatei that the country around. Hugo, Oklahoma, is e ~
gamgetex-e' hideout, end he believes that if there is enybody thered. ell, it
is the Berke:-s. Upm ey inquiry, Kr. Blake eteted he hed telked eith In
Brehtley, who hed sent nen into the vicinity If Chrkeville, jut east If Perle,
which ie in Er. Blele territory. hr. Blake eteted that Ir. Brantley hemeoue
very good connections in that 'broken-bow'"country, and that is where this
fellow apparently noeningDelgedo! wee going. Ir. Bleke edvieed that he had
Arranged nth Ir. Brantley to have eoee one from hie, Ir. Blake's, territory
loot him at Clerkaville end set him in with e nen there who is well acquainted
with the country end will he able to render valuable eseietancee Ir. Bloke eeld
that both he end Ir. Brentley felt this would prove ofvelue. I eteted to Hr.
Blake that the Burns people heve only said that their enn would get in touch
with Hr. Brantley at Oklehone City; that he never hee gotten in touch with Ir.
Brentley mi we eren't supposed to know where he is, and that we heve e perfect
right to check up on enybody who is doing anything on the Dillinger or Berher
ceeee. I told hie to caution Ir, Brantley to be very cereful, but to Fkeep en
eye on the letter. " '
Ir. Blake eteted he bed reeeved ell of the Agents tron this assignment

Agent Fred Dunn ie assigned to this matter at Peril.

Ir. Blake ltated he ns rather concerned about the possibility of Denim:
infeming his headquarter: of the fact. that he Ins being shadowed» I told hil
that if Ir. Sher-nan Burns celled me about this latter I would tell bin that
we had received infomatlbn that his men were asking in¢.1ix-iea at Paris and taut
we had e right to lake a check of it; that if he had confided in us as to want
they were doing, we would have not gcne into the latter, I further celled
attention to tue fact taut Hr. Gordan, who is in can-ge of the Burns Agency
