-I make only one comment concerning the credibility of
any part of the testimony in this case. That comment is not
are the sole judges of thebinding upon you because you
credibility of the witnesses. Almost never do I make a ' _
comment upon the credibility of any witness unless I believe
that some honest witness, who has tried to tell the truth,
has unjustly been impugned, not by the attorneys necessarily,
but perhaps by other witnesses, and then, whether he is high
or low, illiterate or intelligent, black or white, I feel
that I ought to say a word in his behalf. It is not binding
upon the jury.
One of the witnesses who testified in this case, an
agent of the Bureau of Investigation of the Department of
Justice, testified that certain statements were made to him
by certain of the defendants. He testified that they were
voluntarily made, that he did not oppress the defendants,
that he did not abuse them, that he did not coerce them.
I think he told the truth. You may not. Each of us Judges
the oredibility of a witness from our experience and obser-
vation in life, and I do that. In many ways the experience
of each of you has been greater than mine, but for ten years
in this court I have heard witnesses testify, thousands of
witnesses, and long before that. Everything that was in the
testimony of this witness, in his manner, in his demeanor.
on the witness stand in this trial convinced me,--it may notr
have convinced you, -- that he was a worthy member of that
Bureau of Investigation of the Departmekt of Justice which,
uI
i
i >
Ip as all American citizens know, is made up of a group of
young men, most of them young men, led by a gentleman re-
ferred to in the testimony, Mr. Edger Hoover, a young men,
known not only for their high intelligence, for their moral
and physical courage, for ueir devotion to duty which too
often has required them to lay down their lives, but also
for their fairness and integrity. I think that witness upon
that matter told you the truth. You may think otherwise,
and you are not bound at all by what I say in that regard.

195.5 enclosing a conmiriication from Special Agent S. K. 13-01. e M
relative to an interview had by him with Vivia110fethis at
Kansas City on January 5, 1935. Reference is also made to letter
fron this office dated January 10, 1935 relating to the same
wetter, with which were transnitted copies of a memorandum sub-
mitted by Special Agent N. 0. Scott
I em transritting herewith to the Division and to
Fr. Connelly and the St. Paul Office copies of a personal and
confidential menoradum subnitted by special Agent W. F. Trainor
relative to inquiries which he has made at the/éickwick Total.
Fror the information obtained it will be seen that the incident
referred to in Agent Scott's memorandum involving change for a
5500.00 bill on December 28, 1934 apparently has no significance
in this matter. The alleged meeting referred to by Vivian Kathie
in her conversation with Agent FcKee occurred, according to
Agent KcKee's letter on Decerber 29, 1954.
It is noted that Ira. Brown, the cashier at the Pickwick
Zotel, did not see Yr. Lilligan in
at the time she was there. On the
Hr. Tilligan called at this office
tion, about 2 ?.H. He remained inthe suite of rooms in question
afternoon of December 28, 1934
at, to the best of my recollec-
compeny with some of the Agents
of this office during the rerainder of that afternoon and evening.
On that date there was under consideration the possibility of
acceptin_ from the defendant Fritqialloy a plea of nolle contendre,and Ifrjilligm attended/2 conference in this regard at the quart-
ment of Sheriff Thomas E. sash where tere were present Sheriff
Bash, Special Agent in Charge Vetterli, Special Agents Andersen
and Trainor, the writer, Tulloy and his friend Iune»Kathryns.
Yr. "atterli and the writer left Sheriff Bash's apertnent about
5 o'clock and Hr. Yilligan was in the company of Agents Andersen

and Trainor until about 9:30 that evening, at which time he retired
to his apartment at_the'Pickwick Hotel where Hrs. Milligen and
their son and daughter were awaiting him.
As stated in my letter of January l0, 1935 Mr. Eilligen
was at his office on the afternoon of December 29, 1954, at which
time he did not appear to have been drinking. Ky understanding is
that Yr. Killigan proceeded from Kansas City on the evening of
December 29, 1934 to his home at Richmond, Missouri, accompanied
by members of his family, it being recalled that Mr. Hilligan's
daghter contemplated being married on or about January 4, 1955, and
that there were certain necessary arrangements to be made for the
wedding at Richmond.
It is noted that one of the telephone calls made from the
suite of roons at the Pickwick Hotel, previously mentioned, was toFr. llilligan at Richmond on January 5, 19:55 :1-em 1'-.Tr./fyres. It
is known that Kr. Tilligan proceeded from Kansas City to Richmond
on the night of January 5, 193d and I talked to him by telephone on
the morning of January 4, 1935 at Richmond. Hr. Ayres, who is a
florist in Kansas City, is known to this office to have been anactive supporter of forrer Congressman J. Lg/lllligan in the race
which he made for nomination to the United tates Senate during
the Summer of 1934. Ky information is further to the effect that
Pat Noonan was likewise an active supporter of Hr. Kil1igan's brother.
With reference to attorneys/éannon and/Reynolds, mentioned
in the nernrandum of Agent Trainor, it is noted that Cannon was one
of the attorneys representing Hr. and Mrs. Galatas at the recent
trial, and that Peynolds was one of the attorneys representing
defendant Stacci. So far as the inforretion of this office goes
both Nessrs. Cannon and Peynolds are reputable members of the Kansas
City Ear and Kr. Cannon is supposed to be friendly to the faction
of ue Democratic Party vith which hr. Xilligan and his brother are
allied.
With reference to the instructions contained in the Diyision
letter of January 10, 1955, that this office discreetly ascertain
all facts in connection with the neting which Vivian Kathie alleged
was held in the ?ickwick Hotel, including the identity of all persons
present at the conference, the ivision is advised that it appears
there is no way in which this inforration can be discreetly obtained
here. It would seen necessary to approach some person in attendance
at the conference in order to obtain this information. It would not
seer wise to make a direct approach to either Rtacci or Galatas in
this regard and these are the only persons definitely named as having
been at the conference, with the elcgptign of rr_ yilligan, I con-

sequently hesitate to take this action, particularly in view ofnossihle eobarrassrent with Kr. Killigan in the event it should
be deten-ined that the statenents made by Vivian Mathis HTB n0tcorrect. If the alleged meeting took place in the aparnwent atthe Pickwick which has been mentioned, on December 29, 1954, it
would seen that Fr. Villigan might have been present mithout
there being anything improper in his actions.
It is noted that the inforration furnished by Vivian Mathis
concerning telephone calls from Sioux Fells, South Dakota to ashington, 9.0. is susceptible of checking from records. In the
event the inquiry being made by the St. Paul Office should notverify her assertions in this regard it would indicate to me that
tfere is a possibility that her statements in regard to the other
watters are not accurate. It is thought that the Division might
desire to await a report fror the St. Pal Office in this respect
prior to any further inquiries at Kansas City.
It is further noted that in her interview Vivian Kathie
definitely advised Agent IcKee as to the alleged connections of
the persons present at the Pickwick Hotel but did not give any
nares except those of alatas and Stacci. It would seem that she
would probably be in possession of more definite information,
particularly as to the naes of the attorneys in attendance inas-
much as she was present during at least a portion of the trial and
saw Hie attorneys before the Court.
I might call the attention of the Division to the fact
that from my observation and that of the other Agents of this
office present during the trial of this case, it appeared that
Pr. Villigan was vigorous in his efforts to obtain convictions
of all the defendants on trial and there was nothing to indicate any
desire on his part to favor any defendant. It is observed that
prior to the suhrission of the case to the jury two counts of the
indictrent were dismissed on motion of the United States Attorney.
However, during the discussion of this tria1,over a period of several
weeks prior to the date of the trial, both Hr. Killigan and his
assistant, Ir. Randall Wilson, stated that they did not expect
that a sentence would be imposed on more than one count of the indict
went inasmuch as Judge Otis had expressed his views on similar cases
in previous trials. It is also my infonnation that the dismissal

Reference is made to Division letter to this office dated
January 10, 1935 and to your letter to the Division of the somedate, all under personal and confidential cover, referring to cer-tain allegations on the part of Vivian Mathis and other individualsimplying the possibility of a bribe having been offered to some -
Federal official in connection with the trial of the Kansas City
Massacre case; It is noted that Vivian Mathis alleged that '"United States Attorney Maurice M. Milliga, of Kansas City, Missouri,
was in a room at the Pickwick Hotel, accompanied by various otherindividuals, on December 29, 1934, and that she believed two of
those parties were "fizsrs", two of than local police officers, twoof than attorneys for the various defendants in the case in question
and that there were other parties. It is noted that she did not
mention the names of any of these parties except Louis Stacci,
Richard Tallman Galatas, both defendants, whom she stated werepresent, and United States Attorney Milligan, """ " '" "
Pursuat to your instructions, I had a conversation with _,Mrs. Broon, the Cashier, at the Pickwick Hotel, with whom I am personally acquainted. l_endeavored to secure from her all per-1 3tinent information regarding the matter discussed in the memorandum _,w-of Special Agent N. 0. Scott, copies of which you transitted to "
the Division with your letter of January 10, 1955. t
It may be noted that in the letter of Special Agent S.K.
McKee, copies of which were trananitted to this office with Division
letter of January 10, 1955, it is stated, on page 3, that Agent McKee
had received infonnation from Special Agent in Charge Nathan relating
- to an alleged passing of a $500.00 bribe on the afternoon of December
' 29, 1934 at the Pickwick Hotel, However, Agent Scott's memorandumI 3 ' "- does not show that the conversation between Hrs. Brown and'him , '-
¢- . occurred on December 29th and the date is not therein shown._,However,-
the notes of Miss Carr, the stenographer who wrote Agent Scott's' memorandu, disclose that he dictated it on December 28, 1934- This .
is noted in view of the fact that Mrs. Brown has stated to me that
the incident which she rentioned to Agent Scott took place on
December 28th and not on December 29th, which was the occasion mentioned
in Agent FcHee's letter when Vivian Kathie alleges she saw United
States Attorney Villigan in the room of certain parties at the
Pickwick Hotel,
Yrs. Brown advised me that a suite of rooms, three in
number, which are roors numbers 809, 810 and 811, was occupied from

the period in question Bryson Ayres, e florist at Kansas City, and .-various lawyers, including Messrs.

She advised that during lthe entire period when the suite was occupied there were numerous menthere, and that very often one mm or another from the room would cometo the desk and request some service or another, such as cases of
beer, for the suite.

She is positive that this was inthe afternoon oi Decerber 28, 1934. She stated that shortly afterthe money had been sent up she received a telephone call from the .room from some of the occupants, who stated there had been a shortage"of $20.00 in the change remitted, and that ahe went to the room a
personally and
Ayres told her
there but thatthat the change had been complete when it had arrived$20.00 had apparently been misplaced. She noticed .that the money was all lying on e bed as though it had been countedover several times. She informed Mr. Ayres and I-ir. Noonan that therecould be no shortage in the money and thereupon she left, and in afew minutes received a further telephone call from the room statingthat the additional $20.00 had_ been discovered lying on the floor nearthe bed. On the occasion in question I-Ira. Brown stated that she sawLir. Noonan, she believes Lir. Ayres, Mr. Reynolds, Attorney and Idr.Cannon, Attorney. She is certain that there was no one else when 7
she knew at the suite on that occasion. She stated that shortly .~;__talked with Bryson Ayree and Pat Noonan, at nhich time___ ,

after the incident above mentioned, on the same dmr, December B8, 1,1,1934, Bryson Ayres came from the room to the cashier's desk and leftsome $360.00 for deposit with the cashier, saying that it has a partof the change from the,_:_,500.00 bill. She stated also that on otheroccasions gyros or Noonan had come to the desk with smns of money andhad placed sarre on deposit, but that credit was not placed on the *~
records for the suite inasmuch_as she merely placed the money itself
in the safety deposit vault since she knew that on short notice someof the parties from the suite might be later calling for it and she
did not desire to run short fror". her regular cash. For this reason
she sdvi sed that no permanent records of the hotel were made since
she would merely {jive a receipt for the money when it was deposited ane

Tests have been made to determine whether or not it functioned as a
full automatic or machine gun. It has been noted that the sear and hsmner
notch have apparently been filed in an attempt to make it a full autoatice
It does not, however, function as such.
It should be noted that this gun is in very poor condition and caution
should be exercised in handling it.

Dear Sir:
O
PE: cH.1u=J_Es FLOYD with aliases

CONSPIRACY TD DELIVER FEDERAL PRISONER
Reference is made to letter from this office dated
January ll, 1955 concerning information furnished to this office
by the office of the United States Attorney regarding the iden-tification of specimen shell case fr . one of the guns recovered
from Floyd with shell cases recover d at the scene of themassacre by Merle A.lCill.
United Sta es
it is his wish that the
available to his office
Gill for appropriate teAttorne
guns re
in orde
t shotsKilligan advised me today that
overed from Floyd be made
that they may be turned over to
and further comparison. It is
his desire to use Gill as a witness in the event Richetti is
tried in Federal Court, or to refer this phase of the evidence
to the County Prosecutor in the event Richetti is tried on a
charge of murder in State Court. He informs me that he expects
to communicate with the Department for aithority to employ Gill
in this regard.;;§;;> It is noted from the Division's Laboratory Peport datedOctober 30, 1954, in this case that one of the istols recoveredfrom Floyd bore number 18001, and that the otxg pistol had a
defaced serial number, which, upon restoratio , apparently proved
to be C-8419?. The Laboratory Report further shows that this
letter gun had been converted in its method of operation so that
it functioned in the same manner as a machine gun. It appears
that it is this gun which has been identified by specimen shellby Gi1l- ' i . i *i "i**>1nsconnan ,9, »

24, 1954, to this
State HighwayFrom the ?ivisions letter of ovemberoffice, referring to the request of the XissouriPatrol for further test shells, it is noted that it had been founddesirable to destroy the norking mechanism of one of the guns re-covered from Floyd after a number of test specimens were prepared.It is not clear which of the two guns was so destroyed.
In the event the gun in which the working rschanism hasbeen destroyed is the gun from which the test shell was fired andsubsequently identified by Gill in connection with this case, itwould appear that, in order to comply with the wishes of the UnitedStates Attorney, it would be desirable to forward further testshells made prior to the destruction of the working mechanism.The Tnited States attorney has not been informed that this gunis not in the ssre condition as when recovered fror Floyd. -
In accordance with ivision instructions this office has _92not had any dealings or conversations with Mr. Gill concerning this p ,1~'ratter. The United States Attorney indicated,during the conference,gf ,had with hiw today, that in the event the guns are forwarded in ,6accordance with his request he would desire that any tests and '§' p/ corpsrisons Fade by Gill be made in the presence of Division Agents. /He has further indicated that he believes it would be desirable tohave Gill endeavor to deterrine the serial number of the machinepun recovered fron Qichetti, Gill having indicated to bin that hecould obtain this nunber. The United States Attorney sears toentertain the suspicion that if traced it might be shown that thiswachine gun was at one tine in the possession of the Kansas City, issouri Police Tepartwent. I do not think that this is likely but
merely give it to the Eivision as hr. Killigen's thought.
By reference to the report of Special Agent Y. F. Trainor,dated Yarch P9, 1934, it will be seen that the shell case fired froma .45 automatic pistol is designated as Exhibit 3 and is mentionedon pare six of the report. It is noted that only one such shellcase was recovered and that no bullet from a .45 caliber pistol wasrecovered which could be identified,as Exhibit J, shown in thatreport, had been so worn before its recovery that the markings werenot sufficiently distinct. It will, accordingly, be seen that thenarkinrs which ray have been made fror the barrels of the guns arenot ;sLc;L-L, ti: rctcricl rarks being those which would be made by
the bolt nechanis" and firing pin.92

Yilligan is quite interested in this phase of the evidence and desires it developed to the fullest. In the event the evidence in this case is disclosed by Kr. Killigan to the County Prosecutor, it is quite likely that he would desireto infonn the press concerning the ballistic identification in order to obviate the possibility that the County Prosecutor might disclose this evidence at a later date as having been developed by him. I do not believe, however, that any disclosures would be 92"ads by Yr. Villigen until he is definitely convinced that the identification of Gill is accurate and available as testimony. In advising we as to the ?ivision's wishes 1 will appre- eciate further advice as to whether l should advise Tr. Yilligan of the fact that the Tivisions experts do not consider Yr. Gills i'-Q identification in this wetter accurate. ii,_,-_.---.-7 _ .__ __.- _-7. 4-4' Ln early reply containing the ?ivisions instructions in '

CCHEPIEACY TO DELIVER FEDERAL PPISOHER
Fur the r
dated January ll,reference is made to a letter from this office
1935 in the above case, which contains informa-
tion given by the office of the Dnited States Attorney, at
Kansas City, Hissouri, as to his plans in connection with fur-
nishing evidence to the County Prosecutor at Kansas City,
Yissouri for use in a murder trial of Richetti.
The statement which the United States Attorney gave to
the local press appeared in newspapers of Saturday, January 12,
1935, copies of which were forwarded to the Division.
Kr. Iilligan advised today that he has not had any communica-
tion from the County Prosecutor, Hr. W. W. Graves, since that
date. He states it is not his intention to further communicate
with Graves in an effort to have him prosecute Richetti but
that he will proceed with the prosecution in Federal Court if
action is not taken in State Court.
It is his plan to indict Richetti in connection with
a further violation of the National Motor Vehicle Theft Act in
regard to the car abandoned by0Richetti and'Floyd at Bolivar,
Tfissouri prior to the kidnaping of Sheriff-hlillingsworth. With
reference to the desirability of obtaining an indictment against
Richetti charging the substantive offense of procuring the escape
of a Federal prisoner, Hilligan is doubtful as to the desirability
of obtaining such an indictment in view of the wording of the
Statute, which apparently does not include attempts to procure
such escape. He expects to have a Prand Iury at Kansas City on
January 28, 1935. If Richetti is tried in Federal Court, Kr.

this shell case has been aositively identified by him with one of the

The Division may retain, if it so desires, this
photograph in the files, as Mr. Wilson has advised that he will later
secure the copies from Mr. Gill.
The question of prosecution of Adan Richetti in
State and Federal Courts was discussed by Agents Andersen and Trainer
with United Strtes Attorney Mvruice M. Milligan today, and he advised
that he hes now issued s snerent to the press to the effect that he
will await the decision of the County Prosecutor W. F. Graves as to
Kr. Graves desire to prosecute Richetti on murder charges innedietely.
The press article will state that in the event Mr. Graves desires such
action, the United States Attorney's office will fully cooperate by
furnishing all available evidence for his use, and it has been stated
by Mr. Milligan that he will also submit to the Prosecutor a complete
brief of/evidence for use in the murder trial and will expect the
assistance of the Agents assigned to this ease in such procedure.
Pursuant to the Division's instructions, nr. Milligan has been ad-
vised that the Division is willing, subject to his desires, to furnish
any and all evidence to the Prosecutor. Mr. Milligan has, of course,
on e previous occasio nsde an appointment with Mr. Graves for this
purpose, and Ir. Graves has failed to keep the appcint~ent. It is
expected now, however, that the County Prosecutor will desire to
confer with the United States Attorney, and there is a probability that
the murder charges may be brought within e short time.
Yr. Llligan has stated that in view of the fact
that Merle A. Gill is in possession of the original evidence of s -
ballistic nature, he would be compelled to use him as a witness to
authenticate Lhe eihibits in court by shoring continuous possession.
It was further stated by'13n Eilligen that in view of the fact that
Gill has a favorable reputation as s ballistician in this vicinity,
he will also desire to use him in that capacity. However, he is not
desirous of procuring the assistance of Gill, or further developing
the ballistic angles until after he hashad his conference with the
County Prosecutor, since it may not be necessary to try Richetti in' i "_ Q0, 0 .

From a perusal of this 'file it seams desirable to secure
definite evidence of the actual recovery of the car at Bolivar, Missouri,
to be testified to by a person in position to state the motor number of
this car. Ibis might be done by a representative of the General Motors

Acceptance Corporation end in the event that no such record was kept, if
the repreeeztetive of that company actually turned the car over to the
owner, Joe Hudiburg, he might testify thereto and Hudiburg, if he could
produce his registration papers sh--wing the motor number of the car, could
thereby establish the identity of same. The report from the Oklahoma City
office indicated a letter from Hudiburg does not reflect that records he has
in his possession or whether he still has the car. In the absence of any
other identifying records it seems advisable that the car now be inspected
by an gent if it is still in the possession of Hudiburg and that it be
detemined whether Hudiburg was able to identify the car by marks other than
the motor nuznber when it was returned to him. It will be noted that the
motor theft charges and the indictment charging conspiracy in the Kansas City
massacre case are very important in view of the fact murder prosecution might
not be had due to a peculiar local situation.
I. H. Coen, 4026 Olive Street, Kansas City, Liissouri, was
interviewed and stated that so.1e tine in .Tune of 1953 he had occasion t0
stop at the home of his brother John A. Coon on the latter's farm located
alout one-eighth of a mile north of Ourway, Missouri, on highway g}'l3. At
that time he was driving a truck which was hauling a house trailer which he
lived in. At about 3:45 3.1.1. on the morning in question some one knocked
on the side of his house trailer and at his reguest opened the docr and
entered. He identified the photograph of AdL;.l Richetti as a likeness of the
individual who approached him. Richetti remarked "Our car has broken dom
and esl-zed Cuen to tow the machine to Bolivar, Missouri. Coen told them he
would take the nob for $4.00 and shortly thereafter he went to the car lhich
was pexed about or.e-eighth of a mile array in front of a filling station
ope r: ted by an individual known as "Doc" Saeger. Richetti had preceded him
beck to the car. Upon his arrival at the filling station Ooen observed e
second man whom he identified as Floyd from a phot:-graph exhibited to him.
iihen Ooen backed his truck up for the purpose of ettachi;.g the tor ing rope
to the damaged car, Richetti and Floyd iniomed him that they would attach
the rope and left him under the impression that they did not want him near
their car. Goon described the automobile as a coupe of e rather heavy build-
During his initial conversation with Ricbetti, Coen said he learned from
Richetti that the timing chain on Richetti's car was broken; During this
conversrtion Goen stated that he was very close to Richetti and from his
observation and association with Richetti he felt certain that Richetti had
not been drinking. The car was than towed to near the city limits cl
Bolivar when he was signaled to stop in order that Richetti might get in his
truck with him to point out the direction of the garage they desired to be
hauled to, Com did not I¬Z.l81b6I' the name of the garage or the exact direction
taken by him in the city of Bolivar. When he arrived at the garage, at around
7:00 Aside, he was paid $4.00 and immediately departed. Coon stated that he

Division of Investigation,

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to Division letter of January18, 1955, replying to eomm1:g?ens from this office dated January
ll and 15, 1935, and concerni .bellistics evidence with regard to the
case entitled: Charles Arthur "Pretty Boy"!OFloyd, with aliases, de-
ceased!, et al, Conspiracy to Deliver Federal Prisoner.
- I have discussed with United States Attorney Mau-
rice M. Hilligan, and his assistant, Randall Wilson, the suggestion
that the original shell reported by Gill to have been identified be
submitted to the Division to determine if the Division Laboratory can
confirm the findings of Gill. The United States Attorney is not of
the opinion that Gill would relinquish the shell, which is in his pos-
session, for this purpose. He has advised Gill that the two guns re-
covered from Floyd have been requested by him of the Division for the
purpose of turning than over to Gill for necessary examination. I ax-
plained to him the Division's position in this regard, and as an alter-
native suggested that the Division forward by registered mail to this
office, or to the United States Attorney, further test shells from each
of these guns and made with snmunition similar to that of the shell
casings in Gill's possession and properly marked for idetification by
the individual firing the shells at Washington. This suggestion was
made, due to the fact that the cases which Gill has examined and from
which he has been rep ted to have ade an identification were handedto him by Major L. M. Means of th94%issouri State Highway Petrol, and
there appears some question as to which of the shells turned over by
Means was the one from which the identification was made. _The United
States Attorney is agreeable to this proposal, and it is, accordingly,
requested that the Division prepare and forward the suggested addition-
al test shells. The shell casing in Gill's possession is designated as
"R E M - U M C 45 A C.PF, and the bullets from the shells were,_
according to my information, nickel coated. The United States Attorney' L
