lir. I. larva, Assistant Secretary and Treasurer of the Edison General Electric Appliance Company, 5600 West Taylor Street,
_ Chicago, canmunicated with the Chicago Bureau Office on may 14, 1935
and/advised that his company had received e special delivery letter
, postmarked at Charleston, West Virginia, 5:30 P.!-5., May 15, 1955, from
Mrs. Bertha J!. l-fairs, Station B, Charleston, west Virginia, advising
that she had noticed in a newspaper article that their company had been

the company in locating the perpetrators of the robbery and might be
able to regain the money stolen in the robbery. She further inferred
that she would expect to be paid in the event she was successful. She
advised that this would be a dangerous undertaking on'her part and
that there was a great probability that she might lose her life ii it

tity oi the robbers and assisting in regaining the money which was
stolen. -7S7é i

Re: Bremer Case. Ih'G" b """" "
Ir. Connelley telephoned from Louisville, Kentucky, in regard to
the surveillance and investigation being conducted there in the above case.
He stated that Agent Dill, in an undercover conversation withkierr, one of
the men under surveillance, had ascertained that Kerr and the others had not
been successful in their negotiations to open a dog track, and that the oly
reason for their remaining in Louisville was the fact that they have their
room rent paid in advance on the apartment in which they are residing. Kerr
indicated that he and his partners would leave Louisville possibly within the
next day or two, and would return to Chicago.
Ir. Connelley said that the last address they have on these men
in Chicago is an address written on an old insurance receipt, and he under-
stands that the building at this address has been destroyed by fire; that
in view of this, we do not know the address to which these en are going in
Chicago. However, he said that he is going to leave four or five men down
there to take care of the situation in case the men leave, and ascertain
on what highway they are traveling; that as soon as this information is
ascertained, it will be transmitted to the Chicago Office; that if it appears
impossible for the Chicago Office to pick the men up on the outskirts of
Chicago, the men from Louisville will follow them on into Chicago. He said
that the men will be traveling in two cars, and the Agents also will be in
two cars.
Ir. Connelley said that he has called the Indianapolis Office,
and they are going to get their equipment out of Louisville; that he will
leave with Agents Bickley and Johnson this afternoon at 1:09 o'clock for
Cincinnati.

which were received by Casein Donald from the Havana Branch _ci' the Chase National
Bank on September 10, 1934, and which are thought to have gone into the hands oi'_ ,~
members ot the Karpie-Barker gang.' Hr. Frazer stated that absolutely no records are,
kept of the currency received from the parent bank in Atlanta, Georgia, that is ot__the
serial hurnbers oi such currency, or oi currency sold to member banks in pubs. He 'g g
advised that the banking situation in Havana, is peculiar in that all of the clearing»
house operations are carried on through the medium ot currency ratherthan ehee1gs;_:__f
that the banks use large bills tor their clearing house negotiations, and forythat.2 __-.

_ is an extremely large quantity of bills of large denominations in cir- Q

1000224641 were shipped to Havana under date of Hay 86, 1934. as J
examined the records of the bank relating to sales of one thousand
dollar bills to the chase Rational Bank and ascertained that a sale of .,
$100 000, in thousands was made on June 6, 1954, and another in the D .In aount of $75,000 under date of June 8, 1934. The last sale of such
" bills prior to the above sales was in January, l954, while the next ,
sale was on December 28, 1934, Such bills are packed in packages of
one hundred each by the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank. nu» Frazer said-.¢
' the Chase National Bank might have split a package in tso, so as to .

unbroken package in question, which was secured from the Chase Rationa1','
Bank by McDonald, was made up of bills numbered from 1000224511 to ._7
1000225001, but that such a presumption would come under the head of a "'

five years, LIcDonald has made frequent trips to Ilorida and to,:Cuba",g,¬""' "'

Mr. Bell stated that in speaking of Ur. Cattery, McDonald referred
to him as "Jeff." Mr. Bell stated that he was particularly interested
in McDonald's connections in Cuba inasmuch as he had heard that quit,
a large amount of narcotics was being smuggled into the States from
Cuba and that he had asked McDonald to ascertain any possible sources
throng: which this dope smuggling was being carried on, inasmuch as it
would aid him in his position as a narcotic agent and that Mcbomld '. '

would notify him. _ , _ . »: I -

l!acFarland, old-time boring champion, to be in charge oi the Casino. _---
lhcFarland was also connected with the Hilaleah Race Track and the - '
Roney-Plaza Hotel in Miami and inasmuch as i£cDomld has been interested

would know a great deal about McDonald's connections._ 16acFarland, Y -
according to llr. Bell, is now the head or the Davis Department Store." "
in Chicago, Illinois. He suggested that l&acFa1-lani be interviewed
relative to his acquaintance with Ecllomld as a possible source of in-
formation concerning LlcDomld. ,_ _ _ g _ ,_- _ e. _..
L -' - i s mi, 3511 further stated that McDonald had told him that 5
his purpose in going to Cuba was to form a _b3-1118 BYm1¢5t9 W191!-~_',»,;and that the reason he had used the alias o cDaniel was because 2: -gdid not want the gambling faction opposed to his activities a ong t . _line to know his true identity for tear or being _piaced_ <=b__1=1=§ 51>? - <_ t. . ,* -, ' I - , 1 _. 92 -_ ..' t , _~ 4 -I .-- I ' _ McDonald further told lid; Bell that former.

Re: Bremer Case. '...~- ~-es» - .-.-. -.--..
' Ir. Connelley tele cued from the Dew Orleans Office and advisedthat the plans now are for Harr;§Sawyer to leave New Orleans with two Deputy
United States Marshals at 8:30 o'clock in the morning, which will put them in
Chicago about 8:30 o'clock Thursday morning. They will then leave Chicago
at 10:00 o'clock on the Chicago-Northwestern, and arrive in St. Paul at 8:25
o'clock, P.l. Ir. Connelley said that he would have Agents of the New Orleans
Office check Sawyer and the Deputies on the train at New Orleans; that he will
call the Chicago Office and have Agents of that office check them from the
Illinois-Central Station to the Chicago-Northwestern Station, after which he
will call the United States Marshal at St. Paul and request him to nest the
train with the patrol wagon and take Sawyer to the jail in St. Paul. In this
manner, Mr. Connelley said that it will not be necessary for any of the Agents
to accompany the party. I said that this is not necessary, particularly in view
of the fact that Sawyer is now technically out of our hands. .
Ir. Connelley said that he has been uable to get any information
from Sawyer other than that he previously furnished to the Bureau.
At this point, I informed Mr. Connelley of the information previously,
furnished to me by Agent Horton of the Indianapolis Office concerning the location
by that office of the Oldsmobile automobile operated by Babs Moran in which Willie
'Harrison is supposed to be ridihg. I told him that the Agents of the Indianapolis
Office have made an identification of Sab§foran, and at the present time are
keeping an apartment in Louisville, Kentucky, under surveillance. I told him that
while they have developed nothing positive on Harrison as_yet,~the situation looksPretty good maconosoa m0E$BBE If 7 w /6Ir. Connelley said that he plans to lgzve New Orleans at 8:20 to-
night, which will put him in Indianapolis about 9;2O tomorrow night. I_told
him that it might be a good idea for him to stop off at Louisville andllook -
the situation over there, and lend his assistance in the matter. He concurred
in this, and said that he would stop off at Louisville and make a survey of the M
set-up. Ir. Connelley said that he would wire the Bureau his train reservationsso that we light communicate with him en route if necessary.?q§¥ ' x, ~ ~>

KIDNAPING - HARBORMG - OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE -
NATIONAL FIRE.&RI92'S LOT
Reference is made to the report of special Agent B. P.
Shanahan, dated at Kansas City, Lfisscuri, lpril 25, 1935, in the
above entitled case, and to the letter from this office dated
May B, 1935, in the case untitled "Vinita,6tacey with aliases;Kidnaping - Harboring Jes%>yle". -
In connection ther with, the Bureau is advised that
Assistant Prosecutor Gilwee, at Kansas City, Liissouri, advised
special Agent Waters, of this office, that Mr. Graves, the
Prosecutor of Jackson County, desires to know whether Mrs. Helm
/,/-Rush, alias Francesiaylor, presently incarcerated in the Federal
Industrial Institution for Women at Alderson, West Virginia, can
identify the photograph of Vinita Stacey and would be willing to
testify against her with reference to the felonious assault which
was the outgrowth of Vinita Stacey's firing five shots from n_.._.
automatic and wounding Helen Rush. -nncoaoao :1 mussxvl F __-

Order 1200, who is a mbject in the Luer kidnaping case. It is
also noted that Irish O'!Jelley and Lloydlpoyle, mbjsct of Iden-
tification Order 1208, according to Vinit Stacey, participated inthe robbery of the First National Bankydfcemah, Oklahoma, and the
Okemeh National Bankof the sane city, in December 1934. e... ,1 -.._ ~------.-_--, -_-0-P
It is believed, from a review of the file, that Mrs. Helen
_ Rum, alias Frances Taylor, if she felt inclined to do so, could
furnish considerable valuable information relative to the hangouts
2 and associates of Irish O'}.¬alley and Blackiefboyle, and it is the
, opinion of the undsrsigied that an interview with her at Alderson
I might be productive of favorable results. Inaunuch as Special
_r ' Agent Waters is now on subpoena at Wheeling, West Virginia, and in
V view of his familiarity with the Bremer case, the Luer kidnspingLY case and the robbery of the national banks at Okemah, all of which
cases are presently assigned to him, it is suggested that if there3 is sifficiant time while waiting to testify at Wheeling, he should
e "e-_/ pm eeed to Alderson to interview Helen Rush.
In the event this suggestion is approved by the Bursa:
it is suggested that the Pittsburgh Office be advised telegraphically
to that effect.
Very truly yours,
