Dear Sir:

CCYSPIQACY TO DELIVER FEDERAL PRISONER
Please be advised that Randall Wilson, Assistant United
States Attorney, Kansas City, Fissouri, who is assigned to theprosecution of this case, with the assistance of Special AgentF. F. Trainer has prepared a Trial Brief setting out his completeevidence and the order in which he will desire to use the witnesses.
It was determined, through consideration of the evidence,
that the fingerprint expert who took the fingerprints of Vernon
C. Eiller,at the South Dakota State Penitentiary should bepresent to identify prints as those of Vernon C.6i1ller. Appro-priate investigation has developed that Arthur Huchow is the in-
dividual who took the prints at the South Dakota State Penitentiary
and that he is now located in care of the Long Beach, CaliforniaPolice Identification Bureau. A subpoena has been issued and a
telegraphic subpoena ticket forwarded by the United States Attorney,
Kansas City, Missouri, to the United States Harshal coveringlong Beach, California, calling for the presence of Lmchow at
Kansas City on December 31, 1934.
It is noted that Hr. Kuchow signed the original print as
having taken sare, as reflected by photographic copy of the masterprint in possession of the Kansas City Office. The master printwdll apparently be brought to Kansas City by a Division anployeewho will identify sane, end it will apparently not therefore benecessary to have any of the original records f the_Snth.DBkii§§-_._-~if'1; 1~ I / ' . ,._ State Peni entisly.

Dear Sir: Re: CHARLES ARTHUR "PRETTY BOY FLOYD, with
aliases Deceased! et al. Conspiracy
to Deliver Federal Prisoner. #62-333.,
Reference is had to Division tor dated Decenber 19, l934 addresed to the Omaha office concerningfsho guns used by Agent Lackey and ex-chief of police Reed at the time of t ecpnion Station Massacre. _
To the best of my recollection, we borrowed either two shot guns
or a shot gun and a rifle from the Oklahoma City Police Department and whenAgents Frank Smith and Lackey passed through Hcnlester and picked up Chiefof Police Reed he also brought a gun along, but I can not recollect whetherit was a shot gun or a rifle. My impression is, however, that it was a30-30 rifle. I dc recall that when these guns were returned to the Okla-homa City office from Kansas City that I personally delivered Reed's gunat the police station in Kcnlester. I am sure there were two shot guns inthe bunch and to the best of m recollection they were sawed-off Winchesterpump guns. I have not and did not keep any record cf the numbers of these
$111.18..
I have just talked to the Oklahoma City and San Antonio officesby telephone requesting the Oklahoma City office to interview Agent FrankSmith and to also endeavor to ascertain from the Oklahoma City Police De-partment the description of the guns which they furnished us as I am underthe inpression that we signed a receipt for the guns at the time they were
borrowed. 'r

IEHORAHQU¥U:Q3_!B. ran
In regard to your memorandum of December J0, 1934 reporting
your conversation with Special Agent in Charge connelley of the Chicago
office relative to the status of the investigation of the Crown Point
Jail break, it is n desire that Hr. Connelley give this matter hie
personal attention. This ease has been pending now for scene tine, and
while I appreciate that the death or Ir. Hollis has seriously interfered
with the pro ress of the investigation, I do not rant it to be unduly
delayed.
In order to clarify the situation, I think it should be die-
tinctly understood not only here at the Division but also at Chicago
between Ir. Purvis and Hr. °onnelley exactly what assignments Ir.
Connelley ts_to have exclusive jurisdiction over. It is aw desirethat ur,t%onoolloy will have exclusive Jurisdiction over the invest-
gative activities leading to the apprehension of John Paul Case and
any other members of the illin-er gang. That is to say, all letters
pertaining to the Dillinger gan; will be handled by Ir. Genelley,and this, naturally, would include the investigation o£i;§g.CroIn
Point jail break. In addition, Hr. connelley is to ha supervision
andljurisdiction over the investiuative activities to bring about the
apprehension of tho members of the Karpis-Barker 5an;o Likewise, any
angle still pertaining to the Kansas City Massacre are to be handled by
Hr. Connelley.
The investibation looking to the apprhhension of Robinson,
the Stoll kidnaper, will also be assibne to Mr. Connelley. It is to
be distinctly understood that at any time when Hr. Uonnelley needs
additional aid or assistance of any character from the regular Chicago
Office, all that he will have to do iill be to communicate with Hr.
Purvis, and Hr. Purvis should be und:r orders to promptly eomply m
ItthiI:ro;.§nelley's request. The Chicao Office, that is, the effiee,&!m-r
under the jurisdiction or Hr. Purvis, will handle all other matters i'
arising in the Chicago district, but all of theabcve mentioned matters;
the Dillinger case, the Karpis-Barker case, the Kansas City Haeeaorecase, and the Robinson matter are to be handled by Ir. Ccnnelley. _
I would like to have the above instrucéions iet forth oleirly/.-

It is my hope to be able to have Hr. Connelley at ashin,ton shortly so as

have the matters covered by correspondence. 1 'i /F1nsuusoo~~~* * l V

Vivian Mathis stated that following her release on bond at
Kansas City,Missouri, she spent several days at the Muehlbach Hotel inthat place as t e guest of Richard T:'Oalatas and his wife. During this per-iod Mrs. E. B./%onnors of Hot Springs, Arkansas was also at the hotel.
Vivian's bond had been furnished by Louis "Ibcl!Stacey of Chicago and shestated that she had to accept his offer to furnish the bond in order to keepup appearances. While in Kansas City,Missouri Vivian Mathis was told byMrs.Connors that she had been playing golf at Hot Springs during the timethe telephone calls were made from her house. She did not name the partyor parties who made the calls, however. Galatasadvised that he and his
life had been in custody at the Chicago Division office for a considerableperiod of time and that he had furnished a signed statement to DdvisionAgents. He said he intended to fight'mis case both for himself and hiswife, and in this connection, stated his defense would be based on the
contention that no conspiracy existed. Gahtas paid Vivian's travelingexpenses t Chicago,Il1inois where she was taken to an attorney by thename otlggeban. This attorney questioned her concerning her knowledge of
this case'and she talked freely with hhn. She denied to him however, thatshe had urniahed this office a signed statement. She advised him that she
had not told the Government anything.
Vivian Hhthis returned to her home in Brainerd,Minnesota fromChicago,I1linoia and late in November received a message from "DocPCBtacey
to meet him in Chicago,I1linois. He paid her traveling expenses. Iuring
t! is visit Vivian stayed n'ith'[email protected]. She was told by Bobbie thatSammy/Schrager is dead, this data having been obtained by Bobbie's boyfriend, who heard the death announced at the Masonic lodge, to whichSchrager belonged. She said the lodge in question is the same one to which
another Sam Schrager, who is night clerk at the Hotel Donmoore, belongs.

Vivian Kathie stated that Stacey took her to see attorney
Balaban ag"in and told her that he would represent her in Kansas City
during the instant trial. He told her at this time that he had been broight
to the Chicago Division office for questioning in October, but said he had
not furnished any statement. He emphasized the fact that all of the per-
sons under indictnent in this setter had to stick together. Vivian also
said that Stacey had asked her to visit the Club Spanish, and that she had
done so in company with Bobbie Moore. She said that she sas nobod there whom
she knew and declined Stacey's invitation to return as she felt uneasy about
going there.
8,, Vivian was questioned for data as to the location of Harry
and Glady -Sawyer and she stated that the only thing she had heard about
them was that they are"on the lam". _
Vivian stated further that she is being advised in this
matter by Bohyennedy of Aberdeen, South Ea eta. Kennedy is close to her
and was a furner partner of Verne Miller in the alcohol business in St.Paul,
Einnesota. She said Kennedy has been urging her to plead guilty in order
to take care of herself as well as possible. According to her, Kennedy
hates the outfit with which Verne Miller was connected. Kennedy is
supposed to be legitimate nos.
Miss Mathis said her reason for wanting to talk with Agent
McKee was to obtain his advice as to the right thing to do when her case
comes up in Kansas City. She said she wanted to plead guilty, but felt that
by doing so she might create the hmpression in the minds of the other defen-
dants that she had talked. She stated she felt the best thing to do would
be to jump her bond and then turn herself in after the trial was over and
plead guilty.
Agent McKee convinced her that she should present herself in
court at the set time and change her not guilty plea to a plea of guilty.
She promised to follow this procedure. _
She departed from Minneapolis on the afternoon of December 25,
1934, for Aberdeen, S.D. where she is to meet Bob Kennedy. Kennedy is
going to Kansas City with her. He has promised her a job after she has
cleared up her present involvement. Vivian stated that she is going to
contact Fritz'lblloy when she reaches Kansas City in order to find out that

Kansas City during the trial of this matter, and was told that he would
be stopping at the Pickwick Hotel. She said she would telephone him on
the morning or December 29, 1934, and advise of the result of her intervier
with Fmitz Holley, also of any other information of value she might obtain
in the meantime.

It is noted that a subsequent indictment was returned st Kansas
City, Missouri during October, 1934, e copy of which was furnished to the Division
Henry L. Balabsn, attorney for various defendants in this case,
has filed a demurrer to the recent indictment in the Federal Court at Kansas
City, Uissouri. A copy of the demurrer is not now available but will be secured
and furnished to the Division. There are some thirteen separate grounds stated
in the demurrer among which is the allegation that the indictnent does not
recite an offense against the laws of the United States.
Assistant United States Attorney Randall Wilson of Kansas City
who is assigned to the prosecution of this case, has advised that he does not
believe the demurrer will be sustained. He has stated, however, that he antici-
pates that the defense will contend at the trial that the indictment does not
state an offense against the laws of the United States and that they will pro-
bably base this contention on an allegation that the agents who held Nash incustody did not do so as authorized agents of the Attor§?§iFener§I{';};-

at Kansas City, Missouri on December 31, l934. The United States_Attorney at92

It is requested that the Division advise this Office with re-
ference to the above in order that the information may be transmitted to the

testify to the instructions which he furnished to the Special Agents who had
Hash in custody, to the effect that they should transport him by train to
Kansas City. A copy of this letter is also being furnished to Hr. Colvin

/I 1I-TEI.!923PJ-_NDUf.i FOR I-IR. TAIEA. '
I-
With reference to the airmail, special delivery letters from
the Kansas City Office, both being dated December 21, 1934, requesting
the name of an official of the Department to appear at the trial of
RICHARD TALLhAh'GALATAS with aliases, et al at Kansas City, Hissouri
on December 31, 1934, please be advised that the Division previously
requested this information in a memorandum addressed to Mr. Stanley,
The Assistant to the Attorney General, under date of October 23, 1933.
It appears from a review of the file that the desired information has
not been furnished by the Department and, therefore, pursuant to my
conversation with you and in view of the limited time between now and
the trial date, I endeavored to trace the original memorandum by tele-
phoning to Miss Brookley in the office of Mr. Keenan and Mr. Hugh Fisher
in the Criminal Division, but neither had any information concerning
the memorandum.
I then called Hr. Boyd in Hr. Stanley's office who recalled i
the memorandum and referred me to Hr. Walter Gallagher who, after examin-
ing his file, found that it had been charged out to Mr. David D. Caldwell
on March 28, 1931.. I discussed this matter with llr. Caldwell who stated
that he recalled the memorandum, ht that he simply desired the informa-
tion contained in the summary report to be used in connection with the
preparation of a claim or Bill in Congress on behalf of Hrs. Otto Reed.
He could not locate the report or the original memorandum in his files.
I was then referred to Mr. Alexander Holtzoff by Mr. Gallagher
and Mr. Holtzoff stated that he would prepare the memorandum, settingforth the desired informationéimmediately. I called Mr. Ho1tzoff's
attention to the fact that th trial is set for December 31, 1934 and
that the United States Attorney at Kansas City, Missouri is holding
a conference in connection with this case on December 29, 1934.

In accordance with your suggestion I have reviewed thelballistic_
evidence in the Kansas City Massacre Case with a view to checking thetenability of Kerle{3ill's recent statements for the Press regarding the
shooting _
Gill now indicates that Chief of Police Otto Reed before his
death fired two shots from a double-barnséshot gun and these shots wereresponsible for the death of Agent Caffrey, Detective Hermanson, and Frank
Fast. Gill, to support this statement, indicates thattwo fired 16 gageshot gun shells UEC, were found on the floor of the back seat of the car
where Reed was sitting, and that these shells are still in his possession.J
Gill has previously indicated to agents of the Kansas City Office
that these two shot gun shells were each discharged by a different firingpin and that fact together with the absence of any ejector marks indicated
to him that they cane from a double-barreled shot gun. There is no evidence
in the case that either Reed or anyone of the officers in the party carrieda double-barreled shot gun. There is evidence to the effect that Otto Reed carried a l6 gage Winchester Hammerless pump~gun. If the two shot gun shells /in Earle Gill's possession came out of this pump-gun he should be able to
readily identify similar markings of the firing pin.
It will be noted that agent Caffrey when shot was reported to havebeen either to the rear and left Hortheast! of his own automobile in whichReed was seated, or at the left side East! of his own automobile. Detective LU
Hermanson was in the street on the right side {west} of Agent Caffrey's carin which Heed was seated, and furthermore, a ball bearing missile was also p
found on the floor of the Plymouth Coach parked at the right West! of Agent
Caffrey's car. _
I have talked with Special Agent Bryce, one of the present traineesand a former Oklahoma City police officer. BTYce told re that Reed had 9borrowed from him in order to make the trip to Kansas City at that time, his 50 calibre Winchester rifle and that at that time Reed had no shot gun, but dfthat he, aryce, later heard Reed had obtained his son's shot gun. This ,;information is in line with that furnished by Special Agent Smith in letter
dated at 01:1:-mm City, lioveznber 12, 193»:-. _ __ §*;""' _ , . I _,*----'*-3;a:;ec=n-rn1_>.s111rw~~ 'k~;- ii; "34/éwThe two shot gun shells which were Remington UMC Nitro Club #16 . uanhinginn, §. UL '

disclose sufficient characteristic markings in my opinion to permit identifi-
cation from the photographs themselves. The originals, I understand, are inGill's possession. There are in the possession of Division Five discharged
Winchester Repeater §l6 shells which were tired through the pump-gun of GeogeRead, the son of Otto Reed, in the pesence or agent Smith. So tar as I know
Berle Gill has never seen any specimens from this punmrgun.
I suggest that if possible the two original'shglls in the possession
of Gill be obtained for comparison in the Laboratory with the five shells from1/'Kf Reed's gun, in order that an examdnation may be made with a View to determining
' whether or not they came from the gun of Heed.
1
I further note in the file that Ralph?Gray, former police photo-grapher, is reported to have taken a number of close up photographs of theautorooile showing holes made as a result of gunfire. §£,15_Ih9p§ht that these
the lenses gity Office has not already obtained copies of these from Gray, th 392 .1A*'*J might disclose_some helpful data on this question and it is believed tHEt"ITr92 L s . ' 3should be requested I know one lead was to Ft Worth, Texas, where Gray wasreported to have moved but the agents were unable to loo te him at that point
and I do not know whether the matter was followed up.

Gill's recent statements lack any concrete evidence to hack them upand appear to be mere theories which he is building up. I particularly wishto quote his statement as reported in igent Trainer's report dated March 29,1934. He, Gill, stated that the lack of any similarity between the twoExhibits 9 and 10! indicates clearly that they were fired from a double-' barreled weapon which uses two firing pins. He stated that they could not
have come from a pup-gun or an automatic gun because of the absence of anyejector marks which would be shown if they had been fired fro such e weapon.
In the absence of any indication whatsoever that a double-barreledshot gun was in the possession of any of the officers present at the scene, II think the evidence clearly points to the use of such a weapon by the murderer.

Director,
Division of Investigation,
U. S. Department of Justice,
Pennsylvania Ave. at 9th St. N. I.,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
This office is in receipt of Division letter of the
19th instant, wherein the Division advises that under date
of Eovember 27th a second letter Ias addressed to Hr. J. L.I Gordon of Ketropolis, Illinois, advising him that an Agent
from this office would interview him in the near future.
Please be advised that this office has made every effort
to locate this matter, without success to date, and I thought
that perhaps same pertained to a case Ihich might be indexed
under names other than Mr. Gordon's. Accordingly, it is re-
spectfully requested that the Divieion furnish this office more
detailed information relative to Mr. Gordon's complaint. I as-
sure you that immediately upon receipt of same Mr. Gordon will
be interviewed and a report submitted to the Division at the
earliest possible date.
Very truly yours,
g.
Special Agentsin Charge.

].'.H.!-fJF..'-.lIC'UI.T FOR THE DIRECTOR ; T;-"1-."
_, [i .-h_ ~ . ------------------- ~
I celled Hr. Nethen and advised that the Director desired to"know-92 how the defendants counsel secured the names of our agents. He advised that
this inforzation was evidently secured from the defendants themselves - that
t the nemes were Liven, in several instances, incorrectly, end in other instancesphonetic spelling was used. He stated that he would endeavor to ascertain further,
if possible, where the names were obtained.
, In connection with the request for 16 men on Saturday I sdvised that1 this ceznot he done. I stated that the Director will send Kcgee there and that
lcee and Saran will arrive there from Chicago; that the matter should beexpleined to the United étates httorney, and that he should be advised of the
slternative - that is, of sending the agents named there, if he so desires. I
ask d that 1:. Hathan advise me of the results of the conversation with the
United states kttorney.
Respectfully,

The Division has rec ived several requests for information regard- ing the location and killing f Charles Arthur Pretty Boy{;Floyd near Clark-son, Ohio on October 22, 193 . The information is desired in connection withapplications to be made for ewards offered by local authorities and a maga-
zine known asfTrue Detective Mysteries, to be paid persons furnishing informa-
tion which led up to the location of Floyd.
' IOne of these reouests was received from Mr. JohnfShuttleworth, 9*¬»S¢IM'¢a . IEditor, True Detective Mysteries, in his letter dated December ll, 1934, ];J1 c»J¢L
received in the Division December 12, 1934. The other request was fromMr. Merle qleagle, Counselor at Law, East Palestine, Ohio, who set forthhis original request in a letter dated November 22, 1934 addressed toHr. Melvin Purvis at Chicago, Illinois. The letter of Mr. Reagle was in
turn forwarded to the Division under date of November 30, 1934 and receivedon December 3, 1934. Hr. Beagle has since addressed a letter direct to the
Division under date of December 19, 1934 which was received on December 21,l93L- It appears that Mr. Reagle is interested in obtaining the reward for
one Clyde O¢'Birch, Constable of St. Clair Township, R.F.D. #1, East Liver-pool, Ohio, alleging that Mr. Birch furnished the information which led up
to the location of Floyd, thereby entitling him to the reward offered by the
State of Oklahoma. .

eating he had requested to be driven to Youngstown, Ohio. Robison stated
that he declined to drive this individual to Youngstown and thereupon the
man departed on foot.
The information obtained from Robison was immediately comuni-
cated to the Special Agent in charge of the investigation, at the Traveller'sHotel, at East Liverpool, Ohio, and thereupon several additional squads ofAgents were sent into the vicinity of Robison's farm and together with a
squad of members of the Police Department of East Liverpool, Ohio, they =patrolled that vicinity until they located Floyd at approximately 4:10 P.I.
on the farm of Mrs. Ellen Conkle, two miles south of Clarkeon, Ohio. Flqydwas dressed as described earlier in the day by Robison and, failing to halt
at the command of the Special Agent in charge of the squad, Floyd was killed
while resisting arrest. -
Ho reference is made in the report of Special Agent lcee to -
Mr. Clyde 0. Birch referred to in the letters received from Mr. Reagle.

into a gas station for the purpose of commuicating with Special agentin Charge Pufvis-at East Liverpool, Ohio. Agent Risler further statesin his memorandum, "I had just finishd making this telephone call to SAC
Purvis when Clyde Birch, a Constable, rushed into the gas station andsaid 'Are4there andb. J.4men here.l* Hehasf3I1owed_by4F3bertldbinspn,a farmer. I made mjseII Fnon*snd was then advised by Birch that Robinson'adfed_ P¥etty Boy" Floydpat his farm house aboutfifteen minutes ago."7
Agent Risler thereupon re-contacted Mr. Purvis and furnished
him with this information which resulted in the dispatching to thatvicinity additional squads of Agents. Agent Risler also sets forth in
his memorandum that Constable Birch advised him that he had dropped into
Robison's farm and had asked Robison whether or not he had seen "PrettyBoy Floyd; that Robison replied that he didn't know but that he had
fed a stranger a few minutes before.

Robison is said to have described the stranger to Constable
Birch who recognized the description as being that of Floyd and there-
upon took immediate steps to locate representatives of the Department
of Justice.
Agent Risler concludes his memorandum by stating that it is
his opinion that Constable Birch and Robert Robison should be entitled
to any rewards which may have been offered for the apprehension of
Floyd. '

worth, Editor, True Detectives Mysteries magazine and Mr. Beagle, Attorney,
