which he later, being questioned by other agents, determined to be in
the 3500 block oi Jefferson Street. He said that he just redenbered
"going to another bar and that the address ea: not his osn independent
recollection. e said they had a couple of drinks in the bar after

which he believed to be a Yellow Cab. _ I E - -

for a luggage store. They finalky found a store which was not yet open

as sell as the taxi driver, went to a nearby bar and had two or three
drinhse BALL leit than in the har and went to the luggage place which
was open by that time and purchased the two metal suitcases, which were

carried both the empty suitcases to the taxi, then went into the bar ad

suitcases in the trunk. ihey than returned to the bar where they left the
rented Ford and dismissed the cab driver. They then drove in the rnted
car to an alley in St. Louis where they transferred the money from the
duffel bag to the two suitcases. He recalled that the rope around the top
oi the dniial ha; was tied so tight that it was necessary for him to out
it with his Knife. This leads him to believe that he had not opened the
_duffel hag at any previous time inasmuch as it would have been necessary
for him to have out the rope at such previous time, and even ii he hadsucceeded in untieing it he would not have tied it back in such a hard c
knot- . - s 92 - l

at the time of maxing the transfer. He did not believe that HEADY knew
he had obtained the one bundle previously mentioned.
ihey went to another bar at an unxnown location, had a few
drinks and he left BONNIE and the bags there while he abandoned the
rented car a block or so from that location. He stated he walked back
to the bar and estimated the time as being from lO:O0 to 10:30 a.m.
lhey had a few more drinks and began arguing as she wanted to go to a
hotel, which he seemed to recall was the Chase, while he "knew we were
hot" and wanted to get in a nice quiet place and get "holed up." He .
said that HEADY was obviously intoxicated and he believed that their
entran: into a hotel lobby might leave lasting impressions on those
observing.
*He called another cab, kind and coldL unknown, in which they went
to a bus station in downtown St. Louis. 1he metal trunks were placed
in the rear trunx compartment of the cabn His purpose in taxing the cab
to the bus station was to avert pOS8lbLB suspicion. He believed that
a check might be made of cabbies delivering persons to residences after
having picked them up in bars, and it was his idea to either arrive at
an apartment to rent in a cab originally obtained from a bus depot or
in a used car which he intended to purchase.
They went into the bus station, argued briefly as to whether
they should go to a hotel or to try to rent an apartment, after which he
consulted the yellow pages of the telephone book for the address-of a used
car lot. He selected an addresson Kingshighway. They hailed a cab and
went out to the lot. He believes this cab to have been a Yellow Cab.
ihey first entered a bar across the street from the used car lot where
he again made a long distance call to BAHNEY PAHTON in St. Joseph to
detenmins whether he had complied with HALL's request to destroy the
records of the rented car at the rental agency in St. Joseph. PATTON
told him he had not been to the rental agency, and that he would like to
be of assistance to him, but that he needed more information before he would-
do anything. HALL told him he would send him money or anything, to
please not ask him any questions but to do it and it would be greatly
appreciated but PAQTON refused.
HALL then went to the car lot where he purchased a l9h? red four-
door Nash for $h50. He recalled the salesman first told him the price
way $350 but after consulting the manager raised the price to n50.
HALL returned to the bar and the salesman brought the necessary papers over
to complete the deal. HEADY was extremely angry because he had purchased
a used car as she thought he should have at least bought a-new one. HALL

any possible suspicion when he and HEADY arrived at any apartment of
other living quarters they were able to obtain. i
He placed the suitcases in the back seat of the Nash and- ' i
they drove a few blocks and parsed. They walked to a nearby bar stopping
briefly at a drug store to purchase a morning paper. They went into the"
bar and a woman at
apartment for rent
- picked one out, he
over right away to
as to how to reachthe bar helped them find an advertisement of an
in the vicinity of their location at the time. ihey
telephoned the landlady and told her they would be
look at it. The lady harheeper gave than directions
the apartment. It was not:4r from the bar. ihey
- found it fit and paid $20 rent in advance plus a $5 deposit for the key.
a He esthmated that they arrived at the apartment at approximately 11:30
a.m. or 12 noon. He said that READY was "well looped" by that time and
that he had to help her in the apartment. He explained to the landlady
that his wife was 111., HALL carried the suitcases into the apartmenty
one at a time because they were so heavy he was unable to carry both of
them at the same time. He estimated that the large one weighed between
forty and fifty pounds and that the smaller one weighed between thirty
and thirtyhfive pounde.
He dropped HE&DI on the bed and she imediately went to sleep.
HALL laid down for a few minutes and may have dozed briefly but did not
believe he had gone to sleep. He was thinking of getting rid of the money
t because he could never tell what HEADY would do in her condition. The
' possibility of her doublecrossing him never entered his mind because he
did not believe she could stay sober long enough tothink out a plan for
doublecrossing him. He said that she was very unstable and erratic - '
and might see a nan out on the street she liked, invite him_in, and give
him a thousand dollars. He then decided to abandon the red Nash. He
left the bags in the apartment after which he left and abandoned the Nash
a few blocks from the apartment. He then called a Yellow Cab and went to
a bar, location unknown, where he wrote a letter to BARNEI PATTON and
enclosedfbur or five hundred dollars. He stated that PATTON had been
instrumental in securing his parole and had befriended him on many
occasions, and that he considered that he owed PATTOR a debt which he
- could never repay. He had obtained the envelope from the bartender and
mailed the letter at a nearby mail box. , A

He noticed a cab driver in the bar watching the world series
on television, which would definitely place the time as the early after-
noon. He had the cab driver to take him to a shopping district where an
appliance store might be found, but after sons driving they were
unsuccessful in locating an appliance store and they returned to the bar.
They then discovered that there was an appliance store very close to the
bar, and he and the driver entered the appliance store and purchased a radio
for twenty-eight dollars. He thought the cab driver had a Laclede Cab.
"He had the cah driver drive him to a corner near the apartment

entered the cab, after
asked the bar Keeper for a pencil, some paper, and an envelope, with
which he wrote a note to HEADY. HALL paid the liquor bill with a $20
bill and gave the change to HAGER, estimating it to be between $15 and
$16. He recalled that while in the bar HAGER indicated to him he was
snspicieus cf him being a la! enforcement efficer. He recalled thinking
that quite amusing at the time. They left the bar and started out for
the place where they were to spend the night.
On the way HALL realized he had not recently shaved so he asked
HAGEB.te ebtain sens shaving equipment ferhin. After driving a while -
they stopped at a drug store and HALL noted a Laclede Cab sitting
diagonally across the street. He gave the.letter he had written in the
bar to HAGER and told him to have the cab driver deliver it to HEADY.
HAGER took the note to the cab driver and gave him the instructions, after
which he entered the drug store and-purchased a razor and some shaving
cream. On HAGER's emerging from the drug store a traffic policeman
accosted him and bawled him out for parking in a no parking zone. HALL
stated he was quite frightened and it was a great effort for him to _
try to appear normal in the presence of the officer. The policeman
let HAGER go with merely abawling out, after which they continued toward their
destination. They made-one more stop at a liquor store for a fifth of
whisxey. ' _
They arrived at Coral Court at about h:30 to 5:00 p.m.,
according to HALL's best judgement. He sent HAGER in to see if there were
any vacancies and HAGER returned stating that there were. HALL then went

On arriving in the room HALL removed his coat and hung it up in the
closet. They then had several drinks from the whiskey bottle. During this
time he recalled telling them that he liked a good celebration and that he
frequently went on two and three day binges and sometimes spent as much as
two or three hundred dollars. He liked a good time and if they stuck with
him everything would be fine. He recalled walking over to his coat and obtaining
s handfull of bills which he later sat down on the bed and attempted to count.
he was interrupted by SANDY and lost count, whereupon he gave the bills to HAGER
with instructions to count them. It amounted to $2,h80, so he produced another
$20 to make it an even $2,500 and gave the entire amount to HAGER with instructions
to keep it for him. He then realized that his shirt was dirty and that he had no
other clothing. He requested HAGER to obtain a shirt, some underwear and socks 1

to purchase a bull. She asked him for money with which to buy a bull and he
recalled thinking at the time why would anyone want to spend money for a bull.

comply with his request to mail a letter for him from Los Angeles he would bu

whether she actually obtained ice on the trip. He said that during this
entire period the metal cases were in the room and plainly in view.
HAGEH returned with the dress and other clothing for 0'DAY in a paper
bag and brought HALL the underwear, shirt and socks, as requested. They
had a few drinks and then went out of the room to get something to est.
By that time they had decided not to go on a nightclub spree but to eat as
clo:e'to the court as possible. They found a small restaurant, he estimates
approximately one mile from the court. It was noted that he did not have
the bags with him during this trip. He stated that the restaurant was _ o
not Pinkie Bar, to th best of his knowledge. He recalled that both he "
and ODAY orde ed steaks and that HAGER ordered fried chicken. HALL was
-unable to eat. HAGER paid the bill for their meal and they returned to
the court, T?ey had several more drinks during which HALL instructed HAGER
to rent a car for him and to return the following mdrning. He also
requested HAGER to buy a leather suitcase and a brief case for him. _
About midnight or 1:00 a.m. HAGER left.
HALL took.
the keys to
flliuw case
asleep whenand 0'DAY sat around and drank for a while, after which HALL
the trunks out of his pocket and stuffed them into the
of his pillow. He does not recall whether or not 0'DAY was
he went to sleep.
The next he remembers was when he awakened the following mornings
O DAY awakened at approximately the same time. They just sat around and
drank and waited for the arrival of HAGER. HALL tried to get 0'DAY to
get hold of one of the maids to bring them something to eat and some '
coffee. HALL noted that the keys to the trunks were in the same place he
had put them when he awakened. 0'DAY must have felt the keys with her
elbow because she dumped the pillow up an the keys fell out. 5he asked
test they were and HALL told her they were simply keys of his and then
put them in his pocket. He estimated that they awakened at approximately
83O a.m. He recalled looking at his watch frequently to detennine how
long it would he before HAGER returned. He had instructed RACER to return .
at either nine or ten a.m., during which time 0'DAY called to a maid
from the balcony and requested her to obtain some food for them, but the
maid consulted the manager and advised them that she was not allowed to do this.
HAGER arrived at about 10:30 or 11:00 a.m. He was late and apolo-
gized for having overslept. HALL sent HAGER back out to get them some sande
wiches ahd coffee. HAGER returned shortly with fried egg sandwiches

him or he could have written on a Coral Court
piece of stationery with the top letterhead portion torn off. At any rate,
he wrote a letter to BARNEY PATTON in St. Joseph, Missouri, indicating
that he was contemplating leaving the country. HALL enclosed the key to
the residence in St. Joseph in the envelope. He stated that the purpose
of writing this letter was to throw the authorities off the track as he 92
believed the letter would be intercepted and that they would think he had
mailed it from Los Angeles. as above stated, he had already advised 0'DAY
he wanted her to take a letter to Los Angeles and mail it for him. He gave
0"DAY $1,000 to cover her expenses of the trip. Rt this point HALL stated
that he had obtained a thousand dollars from one of the trunks. He said he'
had in:truc+ed O'DAY to go into the bathroom and while she was there,
with the door tightly closed, he opened the smaller trunk just enough to
.d in and take one sheaf of bills from the top. He placed the
brief case HAGER had purchased for hii and delivered. He was
positive that 0'DAY did not observe him opening the trunk and stated that
to his knowledge she had no way of knowing what was inside either of the
trunks. He stated that up to that time he had not opened one of the trunks
before since he had filled them.get his ha"
bills in the
HALL then told O'DAY and HAGER that his plans had changed somewhat
and that he wanted HAGER to take 0'DAY down to the nearest cab stand,
after which he should return for HALL. O'DAY and HAGER then left and
RACER returned in approximately three quarters of an hour. During HAGER's
ahsence HALL again opened the smaller metal suitcase and extracted $20,000
which he placed in the brief case. At that time the money was in the same
condition as it had been when originally placed in the case and there was
no appearance of its having been disturbed in any way. HALL locked the case.
He stated that he kept them locked at all times and the keys in his possession.
Ou HAGER"s return HALL asked him to drive him to a hardware store in some
locality where HAGER could obtain a cab as HALL wanted to use the car. He
recalls telling HAGER that he wanted to go see a man about a dog. HAGER
then drove him to a large shopping center where a hardware store was found.
On entering the parking lot HALL saw a cab and told HAGEH he should flag
it down and have it wait for him.
Then then went across the street to the hardware store and HAGER
left him in the taxicab. HALL states that he recallsasking HAGER to obtain
morphine, a syringe and some needles and advised that he had made the
request purely for the purpose of making HAGER think he was a drug addict.
He said further he told HAGER he had lost his bags and morphine, etc., which
story was also purely for the purpose of reasonably explaining his lack of
luggage and other clothing. He recalled having asked HAGER to borrow his '

driver's license and that HAGEB had replied he had only a chauffeurs
license with HAGER's picture on it so HALL decided not to borrow the
license. Also during the trip, he recalled having told HAGER to rent
him a nice apartment in a good residential district where they could
rest a while. He instructed HAGER to meet him back in the court at L200
p=m, The two separated at approximately 1:00 to 1:30 p.m,
After HAGER left HALL purchased two garbage cans, some plastic spray,
and a shovel at the hardware store. The lady clerk scarried his purchases out
to the car. He stated that he had specifically instructed HAGER to find a
hardware store on '66 which is Ghippewa! as he did not know Ste Louis and
wanted to be sure he could get back out past the court. At the time he and
HAGER had left the court to go to the hardware store, they had carried the '
bags down from the room and had lockedihem in the trunk of the rented car.
HALL stated that he noticed no difference in the weight of the metal suitcase
he helped carry. HALL stated that on the trip down to the hardware store
with HAGER he recalled having told him that if he {Luck with him HALL!
he would never have to work again, that he would buy HAGER a motel down in
Florida. He also recalled having told HAGER to get himself a good suit, some
shoes, and to buy nothing but the best. He had also requested HAGER to obtain

After purchasing the garbage cans and other equipment, HALL proceeded
in the rented car west on '66. He recalled seeing a road east of the
Meramec River bridge which wound around a bluff and he drove up the road
seeking a place to bury the money. However, he noted that there was some
red clay and it was muddy and he was afraid he would get the car stuck so
he came back down the road and across the bridge. He took a macadam road
to the right and then made two right turns, the last one being near a
sign pointing to "Long Beach". He said that he was up and down this '
road from one end to the other several times as far as he could go looking
for a place where he could securely bury the money. He said he drove over
all kinds of back roads for the same purpose and that since he had an
appointment to meet HAGER at 4:00 P. M. at the court he drove as fast as
possible. He said he could easily have placed seventy to eighty miles
on the car during the hours he was away from HAGER in this pursuit. He
recalled that one farm which is situated on a hill had appeared ideal but
he noticed three or four dogs there and considered it unsafe to attempt to
hide the money there. He said he found several goodplaces but that in
every instance there was something that made him aware of a lack of privacy
for which reason he continued his search. He stated he got lost oncek

station as to how to get back on '66. He recalled having driven up one
muddy road that came to a dead end. '
He returned to a restaurant in the vicinity of Coral Court, which
he believes to be Angelos restaurant, under the erroneous impression that
it was the Pink Bar at which he had previously told HAGER he would meet
him at h:OO pm. He had a bottle of beer, waited a few moments, after
which he told the lady in charge that if a man came looking for STEVE to
tell him STEVE had gone back to the place. HALL then went to the room at
the court where he waited ten to fifteen minutes, after which he returned
;o the restaurant and asked if it was Pink's Bar. They told him no and
directed him to the bar which was across the street. HALL went to the
Pink Bar and made the same inquiry and told them to give HAGER the
same message, after which he returned to the room and waited approximately
twenty to thirty minutes.
_ {_'!-
HALL stated that the sole and only purpose of his trip alone in
the car had been to bury the mony, and that on being unable to find a
suitable hiding place for it so he had placed the cans and shovel where he
could easily find them again as he intended to return the following day and
devote the entire day, if necessary, to properly hiding the money. He
stated that from the time he and HAGER loaded the metal trunks in the back
end of the rented ca r before HAGEH drove him to the hardware store to the
time he returned to Coral Court the trunk lid of the automobile was not
opened.
At approximately L:3O to L:L5 p.m. HALL observed HAGER approaching
the room. HAGER had on a new suit, a new hat and shoes. When HAGER entered
the room HALL stated he told him he was glad to see him. HALL stated e -
he could not recall having told HAGER he felt relieved because he had shipped 1
a handle. On his arrival HAGD delivered to HALL bogus identifications -
consisting of a phctostat of an a discharge, a Social Security cardand a medical record of one JOHN FTEBYRNE. HALL had previouly torn up his
own identification and flushed same down the stool. HALL then realized that
his clothes were quite soiled and he decided to obtain new ones. The manager
at the Pink Bar had advised him that the stores in Clayton, Missouri, were
open that evening so he asked HAGER to take him to Clayton. They left the
room and entered the car. HALL stated that the metal trunks were still locked
in the trunk compartment. They drove to Clayton and found that the Famous-
Barr store was closed. They stopped a passerby who directed them to Boyd's
Store; They went to Boyds where HALL told the salesman he wanted a suit right
away.He was advised that the tailors were loaded up and that he would be unable

m? in a big hurri". he gave the salesman $19 end picked out a Hi0key~Freemanedit for $122.00. He also purchased shoes, a hat, cuff links, handkerchiefs,two psirsof socks, a belt, and perhaps a tie or so. He instructed HAGER topcrshase six shirts for him while he got the shoes. They were in quite ahurry inasmuch as the store closed while they were in it. After they left Boydsthey started on the way back to Coral Court. During the trip HALL recalled having
ild to move at once to the apartment he had previously requested HAGER torent for him, to which HAGER on his return had advised he had in fact rented,but later during the trip he decided not to move. He recalled that as they neared
Coral ourt ?; instructed HAGER to go on past the Court as he had e hunch sene-
thing might be wrong. They cotinued east on highway 66 to a restaurant wherethey stopped for e sandwich and a bottle of beer HALL was unable to eat. Herecalled suggesting to HAGER that the latter obtai; a girl for him that night,
end while they were in the restaurant HAGER made a call, agpcrently to someglrl for the date. He recalled havirgtold HAGER to tell the girl he wouldgive her two or three hundred dollars. After trying to eat he decided to return
to the Court, which they did.
Each of them carried one of the metal trunks up to the room. Just as
HELL cpencd the door he saw a car drive up behind the rented car and leave itsl;ghts on. He became frightened and told HAGE to lock the metal trunks up in
the trunk compartment of the rented car. when HAGEH came back up they had a
drink and HALL decided to move to the apartment immediately. They drove to thenew apartment and parked at the side entrance. He recalled seeing an old man there
who he asked to get a bellboy to handle their luggage. The old man unloaded theluggage from the car trunk to a hand truck in the doorway and a bellboy took the
luggage from there. They went up to the third floor by elevator. They exper-ienced some difficulty in getting the right apartment because the rooms hadteen recently renumbered and it was necessary for the bellboy to make at least
two trips downstairs to get the proper key. HAGER accompanied the bellboy on
one such trip. l _ .
HALL recalled that they unlocked one door and found the apartmentinside occupied, whereupon the bellboy apologized for the intrusion. On _e '
arriving in their apartment HAGER tipped the bellboy, HALL thinks, a coupleof dollars, efter which HALL told the bellboy to bring up one Coca Cola.He did not want two because HAGER indicated he was going to leave to get a girl
i soon. HALL looked around the apartment and told HAGER he thought it wassatisfactory. HAGER then said he was going after the girl and that he thought
if she had a friend he would get another one and they would really have a party.HALL remembered asking HAGER how long he would be and HAGEH had replied half
an hour or so. -¢

look around the apartment and the big nan in plain clothes entered the
