Gill, who has examined hundreds

cases, denitely links the two kill-
ings through ballistics evidence.
The conclusive evidence which
-connects the two machine gun slay-

two cartridge cases. One was pickedpp near the bodies oi Nash and the
Oour oicers at the Umon station
and the other was iound in a clump
i bushes at the east side ot the
Park Central hotel, where Lazia'sslayers stood the morning of July

two cases were made and the same
markings left by the tiring pm were
found. -The evidence is indisput-
able, Gill declared Thursday.
Two small bulges, the marks of
a defective firing pin. were 19 "T
the cartridge cases and they were
identical, Gill said.
, While the ballistician believes the
same weapon was used in the Lana
killing and the station slaying. he
said it was-possible that the killers
exchanged firing plnsthat is. took
one from one weapon and aiitcd
it to another. But even if that
were true, Gill declared, it still
would mean that the killers were
associated and had the opportunity
to handle both machine guns.
Many Theories Advanced.
, Many theories were advanced
Thursday to explain why the men
alleged by LaCapra to have beenlassociated with Liza should seek
|Lazias life after participating in the
Nash killing with Lazta's knowledge.
;l..aCapra's purpose in making his
statement involving Lazia is known
to have been the result of a falling
out over profits from various rackets.
I..aCapra also fered for his own life,
land with- good cause, as two at-
-tempts were made to shoot himdown after Li92It3 had been slain.One theory c-tiered Thursday con-
cerned reports, that Lazia had been
active in aiding police in solving a
number of major crimes.-
_ A".--*r1inc~-p is theory, Lazia

Capra, but knew;lithe °0ll'd and the killers,
ire of it he would even-
t$tnd_ Lace with informa-, comfolnvuive them,the result of thismutt co; this line of rea-
leges 3 agents reassertedgun. Nash met his death from bui-
lets fired from one of the machine
guns, and Reed was slain with bul-
lets from a Colt .38 revolver and
from s machine gun. A Thompson
sub-machine gun also cut down
Grooms and I-lermanson.
Discrepancies in Story.
Certain discrepancies have ap-
peared in LaCapras statement,92
indicating that some of his informs-I
tion may have been purely im-
maginative. According to Gill, his
assertion that Charles Pretty Boy!
Floyd was wounded by a bullet from
Grooms pistol ts without founda-
tion. There were two empty cart-
ridge cases tn the detectives weapon
but one was placed there by Grooms
several days before his death as a
precautionary measure -and the
other was fired as he fell under the
machine gun charge. "The bullet
from the second case was found
embedded in the ground beneath
his body.
Other discrepancies concern one
of the cars that carried the killers
to the Union station plaza to await
the arrival of Nash and his guards.
No trace of the vehicle was found
after it sped away from the scene
toward Broadway. However, wit-
nesscs have been found, it was re-
ported Thursday, who say the kill-
ers car made a sharp right turn
after reaching Broadway and sped
into the tunnel beneath the Union
station where are located loading
docks for the American Express
company. The killers, it was said,
parked their car, walked back to
the Union station plaza and joined
the crowd attracted to the scene of
the killing. That night a huge mov-
ing van was sent to the tunnel and
the car was loaded in it and carried
away, according to this story.
, The ballistics evidence connecting
,the I.-azia killing with the Union
station massacre was in the hands
of federal agents July 30, just
twenty days after the North side
; politician was shot down in front
lot the Park Central hotel. Gill hadmade his ri -OWIDI Ion at cartridgecases found at the scene or both

walked down the street a short dis-

He told me that he was to be met.in Kansas City and that he wouldrelease us there. But he told me,we would be followed. He instructedme to drive to Lees Summit and eat
dinner there. After a few minutes of talk withthe mer. in the other car, it wasdriven alongside our car. Floyd and
Ricchetti got in with the other men.They told ua to drive on and to fol-low instructions or we would be
sorry.
Drove to Lees Summit.
So we drove across Kansas Cit?
to Lees Summit. We knew we werebeing followed all the way. weknew .wa were being watched white

until later."The sheriff said he called some
friends at Clinton, 1Vlo., from LeesSummit and told them to meet him
there. He and Griffith then begantheir drive to Clinton, leaving about
1l:l5 o'clock that night.According to the sheriff their car
was followed for some distance out
of Lees Summit, probably fiftecnor twenty miles. l-le said he did
not believe Floyd followed him. hut

dressed to the Kansas City policedepartment. The postmark on thecard was dated at 1:30 o'clock Tues-.day night, June 20, three days aftertha bloody attempt to deliver Frank

UNION STATION
- PLAZA KILLERS
Dear Sirl: I, Charles Floyd, want'7 Oanttaaad Illm Ian t.' 7
it known that I did not participatein the massacre of officers at Kan-.
sas City. CHARLES FLOYD.
At that time there had been spec-,
ulation whether Floyd participatedin the murders following reports hehad been seen in and near the city
the same day.Following up his postcard denial
to the police, Floyd, or someonerepresenting himself to be that out-
law, wrote the Journal-Post. ex-pressing thanks for publication of
the postcard message.'lhe letter to the Journal~Posi,
written in faceticus vein, was writ-
ten on ,stationery of the Young
Men's Christian association three
days after the postcard was re-
ceived.
The letter:
"One of your courteous officersdirected me to your local Y. M. C.
A., and I wish to thank you foryour front page ash that l am tn-
,noceni. of the killing of the officers
at your Union station.
"Also I wish to present my apipreciatlon of the Sedalia police de-
partment in purchasing those newsubmachineguns. I am afraid l'll
have to visit them again and con-fiscate them-they may hurt them
selves.
' oMy kindliest regards to Sheriff
What-ii-Man! Killingsworth. Soi

Enforcement officers working ona picture show and to some of yourtwo cases were made and the samemarkings left by the firing pin werefound. K-The evidence is indisput-able, Gill declared Thursday.
Two small bulges, the marks ota defective firing pin. were left inthe cartridge cases and they were
identical, Gill said.
While the biillistician believes thesame weapon was used in the Laziakilling and the station slaying. he,
said it was possible that the killersexchanged firing pins-that is, tookone from one weapon and affixedit to another. But even if that
were true, Gill declared. it still
would mean that the killers were
associated and had the opportunity
to handle both machine guns.
Many Theories Advanced.
Many theories were advance-JThursday to explain why the menalleged by LaCapra to have beenassociated with Liza should seek
Lai:ia's life after participating in the
Nash killing with Lazia's knowledge.LaCapra's purpose in making his
statement involving Lazia is known
to have been the result of a falling
out over profits from various rackets.LaCapra also feared for his own life,
tempts were made to shoot hidown after ]u92zia itad been slain.
One theory cffered Thursday con-cerned reportr that Lasia had beenactive in aiding police in solving a
number of major crimes.-1_ Ac-":."1iI'92"""'.D is theory, LaziaJbstation massacre,l w

gun Nash met his death from bul-lets fired from one of the machineguns, and Reed was slain with bul-lets from a Colt .38 revolver. and
from s machine gun. A Thompsonsub-machine gun also cut down
Grooms and Ii-iermanson.Discrepancies in Story.
Certain discrepancies have ap-peared in LaCapra's statement,indicating that some of his informa-
tion may have been purely im-maginative. According to Gill. his.assertion that Charles Pretty BoyiFloyd was wounded by a bullet fromGrooms pistol is without founda-tion. '!'i-tere were two empty cart-
ridge cases in the detectives weapon
but one was placed there by Groomsseveral days before his death as aprecautionary measure and the.
other was fired as he fell under the
rnachino gun charge. The bulletfrom the second case was found
embedded in the ground beneath
his body.
Other discrepancies concern one
of the cars that carried the killers
to the Union station plaza to await
the arrival of Nash and his guards.
No trace of the vehicle was found
after ll sped away from the scene
toward Broadway. However, wit-
nesses have been found. it was re-ported Thursday, who say the kill-
ers car made a sharp right turn
after reaching Broadway and.sped
Iinto the tunnel beneath the Union
station where are located loading
docks for the American Expresscompany. The killers. it was said,parked their car. walked back to
the Union station plaza and joinedthe crowd attracted to the scene of
the killing. That night a huge mov-ing van was sent to the tunnel and
the ca: was loaded in it and carried1 r-
ncl Adam Rlcchetti. an ass92 from four different weapons. Gillie_ said. Caitrey was mortally wounded Floyd, as the station slayerby ball bearings fired from a shot- W the omim or 92,|,'t92_||,'Q n-- in Detroit several months a:

EEMORANMIFUR THE DIEUHF
Mr. R. B. Nathan called and stated that the Missouri StateHighway Patrol is very anxious to get Richetti back to Kansas City fromOhio; that Major Means, th ir representative at Ohio was in to see M-Nathan today, with Colonel Castile. Mr. Nathan advised that theextradition hearing is set for Thursday and Means believes he Richetti!will be extradited; however, he is not convinced of this fact. Mr. Nathanfurther stated that Means desires, for use in the extradition hearing, andany other hearing necessary, that the Division furnish them with testbullets and shells from Floyd's gun, on the theory that one of Floyd'sguns was used in killing the two men in Boone county last summer. Iadvised that we would send Hr. Nathan test bullets for the use of ColonelCestile. He asked as to the possibility of having these bullets sent toColumbus, Ohio, for use in the extradition hearing; that they be sent toMeans. I a vised that at Colonel Casti1e's reeuest, we would send thebullets tolgnyone he designates; therefore the bullets will be sent toMajor L. M ~Means, Neil House, Columbus, Ohio, tonight or tomorrow morningMr. Nathan advised that the local prosecutor states he is not endeavoringto have Richetti returned; that the prosecutor is considering tomorrow,endesvoring to secure extradition papers to have him brought to JacksonCounty on murder charges, in the event the Boone County officials are notsuccessful in their efforts. He will take no action until after Thursday,
so he can determine what action is taken in Columbus.

Pursuant to your instructions I telephoned Mr. Reinecke
at Indianapolis to advise him of the :unts" posted in theIdentification Unit against Frank Leezzallan alias FranklinEnglish, who according to the telegram of the Indianapolis Office
dated November 1, 1954, was taken into custody by the Louisville,
Kentucky, Police Department on October 51, 1954.
I advised Hr. Reinecke that Callan is wanted as an escape
by the authoritksanntsville, Texas, having escaped on June 4,
1954 from the State Penitentiary where he was serving a twenty-fiveyear sentence on a murder charge. I told r. Reinecke of the
wanted notice placed by the Police Department, North Little Rock,Arkansas, against Frank Lee Callan as a possible ident wanted forhighway robbery and kidnaping, according to information received by
the Division on August 9, 1954. Mr. Reinecke was also advisedthat this individual is listed on page two of the Fugitive Bulletin
issued by the Division under date of September 1, 1954, whichBulletin contains a reproduction of the right index fingerprint of
this individual.
Hr. Heinecke stated that he had sent a second telegram to
the Division correcting the amount of money reported to have beenfound on Callan at the time of his arrest. He said that the amountis $4600.00 instead of $46,000.00, which amount included a numberof new fifty dollar Federal Reserve notes drawn on the FederalReserve Bank at Richmond, Virginia. He furnished me with the serial
numbers of two groups which are in numerical sequence as follows:

Memo for Hr. Tamm November 1, l9E4
Mr. Reinecke stated that Agents have been questioning
Callan but he refuses to give any information. I calledHr. Reinecke's attention to the report of Special Agent Surandated at Chicago, Illinois, October 18, 1954 which reflects that
an informant of the Chicago Office is acquainted with Callanand has stated that Callbn is a contact for Lester Gillis. Mr.
Reinecke stated that he would relay this information to theAgents at Louisville and have them question Callan thoroughly
respecting Gillie.
I told Mr. Reinecke that the Division would not notifythe State authorities at Huntsville, Texas, and North Little Rock,Arkansas, until the fingerprints of Callan had been received but
that in the meantime he should communicate with Mr. Conroy atLittle Rock in order to ascertain whether there is a Federal angle
to the kidnaping case referred to in the "want" placed by the
Police Department of North Little Rock, Arkansas.
In accordance with the telegraphic request of Ur. ReineckeI instructed Mr. Hince of the Identification Unit to furnish thePolice Department of Louisville, Kentucky, with the criminal recordof Callan as being possibly identical with the individual arrestedby that Department on the evening of October 51, 1954.

Mr. Nathan called from Kansas City and advised that hehad just talked with Mr. Milligan, the United States Attorney out there,and Mr. Milligan said he had a telephone conversation with the ProsecutingAttorney, Lafferty, in Ohio and also with Fultz, the Chief of Police atWellsville, Ohio, who advised Mr. Milligan that they are ready and will-ing to turn Richetti over to the Government at any time the Governmentwants to take him; that Mr. Milligan is very anxious to get Richettiback in Kansas City, his principal interest apparently being to havehim there while the present Grand Jury is in session in order to getsome sort of a statement out of him for the Gran Jury; that the GrandJury will expire on Saturday but he may be able to get an order of the
court to keep it going beyond that time; that Prosecuting AttorneyLafferty says he speaks for the Sheriff at Lisbon and himself and theyare willing to turn Richetti over to the Government. I asked Hr.
Nathan if he was the man who was fighting the extradition proceedingsbefore or was the Attorney General of the State fighting them. Mr.
Nathan said as he understands it, Lafferty was fighting them for theHighway Patrol; that Richetti had an attorney employed for him by his
relatives.
Mr. Nathan again stated that Milligan is very anxious to getRichetti back to Missouri and wanted to know if the Marshal from Clevelandshould go down and take him or if the Division should go after him. Itold,him if the Marshal takes him there will be a great deal of red tape
about removal proceedings, etc., but on the other hand there was no reasonwhy the Division should spend money to ng him across the United States.I also told him that I thought it wouldgéibarrassing to the Divisi torefuse to take Richetti in view of the attitude of the United Ststgg%°iEe7
which Mr. Nathan agreed. I told him I would take the matter up with youand see what you wanted done about it and would give him a call as soonas P°55ib1e- PECOPD A _ ;---_ 1 ~=~"** j_l ~ . LU& n921n;.92;-;_1 _ . - _f__ _.-._§;/3,
Mr. Nathan said the telephone call came to Bash and Milligan
from Columbas but they talked to Milligan; that they advised they were
ready to turn Richetti over to any representative of the Government!presenting the proper papers. I told him that the catch was in presentingthe proper papers. Ur. Nathan stated they had a warrant of indictmentfor Ricbetti, of which the United States Attorney at Cleveland, Ohio hascertified photostatic copies; that Richetti was indicted on a motor theftchar e during the present Grand Jury term, since his ap ehension N . -1S"i; 9292 ' CU} Lb Di 1 U 1.. 5 _ I J I

certiiied photostatic copies of the indictment were sent to theAssistant United States Attorney at East Liverpool, while Mr. Cowleywas there; the1,if necessary,the Division could secure certifiedphotostatic copies of the indictment and get a waiver of removal.
Mr. Nathan suggested that there is in Kansas City, in the
event it is d sired to leave from there to get Richetti, a planebelonging to ezare which is being offered to the Division for gasand oil. I ld Mr. Nathan I would let him know what you desired
to do in the matter.

Result of examination: Examination byzwiard
The above mentioned empty fired shell calibre .45 LCP, manufacturedby Remington, indicates from its appearance that it had been fired in a
Thompson Sub-machine Gun-
The bullet pert of the evidence consisted of one fired .46 calibreeitomntic pistol bullet of the metal case type, ard it had been fired i:1.;;; whose barrel WUS rifled with six lends and grooves inclined to theright. This bullet was probably fired out of a Thompson Sub-machine Gun
Those exhibits were checked throu;h the Laboratory Files and no
identification was nude. They are however being retained for future
comperisons when necessary.
It should be noted that these exhibits were received in a conditionwherein the bullet was inserted deeply into the shell case, and it wasnecessary to partially ruin the case in extracting the evidence bullet
from it. It is reguested that when future exhibits are sent in, the
bullets end shell: ore keyt separate from each other.

that the caretaker of the building, Hr. Wagoner, had been employed
in the buildings for th past fifteen years and was well acquainted
with all the tenants residing there.
Hr. Iagoner was also shown a photograph of Bernard Phillips
and one of Iinnie Iilliams and he stated that he could not identify
either of them and stated positively that no one resembling Bernard
Phillipe had ever resided in the group of apartment buildings and
that he knew no one by the name of Sanders or Saunders who had ever
lived there. However, numerous individuals resided there who would
answer the description of Mary Saunders. |

advised that she is the manager of the apartment house at that
address and has acted in that capacity for the past three years.
She stated that during the time she has managed these premises no
one except Filipino families have resided there, with two or three
exceptions. She stated that during the past year she has had two
or three white families residing at this address and she was posi-
tive that no one answering the description of Bernard Phillips had
lived there during the past three years. She further stated that
no one by the name of Mary Saunders or Ellen Sanders had lived at
4425 Hazel Street. Mrs. Hedrick could not identify the photograph
of Bernard Phillips or that of Winnie Williams.

I called Hr. Nathan at Kansas City and told him
talked to you about the approach that Fultz m_ade to
and also his statements about an apparentqrl-ingneeeto turn Adamoichetti over to the Division; that you feel
that the t1wae in the whole matter is not to
having anything to do with same; that your advice to the
Sheriff would be that this is a good thing for him to stay
out of because he may become involved in contempt of court
or something of that kind if he interferes with the extradi-
tion proceedings; that if Bultz should by any chance -
have any direct dealings with the Kansas City office to
tell him that the Division does not want to have anything
to do with him or his prisoner. llr. Nathan said Fultz would
probably be out there tomorrow.
Respectfully,
E. A. Tam.

NEIQHANDUK FOR T3. TOLSON
Mr. Carusi this morning raised the question as to the_fact that the weekly report submitted by the Division last week did not include any' d eference to the Floyd-Richetti or Stoll cases. I told him it was my un er-r
standing that it has only been the closed cases to which we have referred inweekly reports. I _ -e ,- ; 3
It is hi! desire, however _ind I believe it is desirable from ourpoint of view also - that there should be included in the weekly report, areport of any results obtained during the course of the peceding week inconnection with an of our cases which have been of significant or outstand-ing character. Certainly, in the Floyd-Richetti matter, there should havebeen a paragraph in our weekly report upon this matter, as well as upon theStoll case, because there have been some developments during the pest week inconnection with legal proceedings incident thereto. Obviously, our weeklyreport is not being prepared with the proper care and attention that it shouldhave, and it does not reflect properly the efforts and work of thssec:ases.I am informed by Mr. Carusi that te weekly report is used as a basis for Ithe Attorney General's report to the President, and consequently, we should
have it as comprehensive as possible.
In connection with the cases which are of a confidential character andupon which we do not desire matters at this time to be disclosed, Mr. Oarusistates that e separate page might be prepared, indicating that it is con-fidential and that the information is not to be disclosed. i'
Will you please give your personal attention to seeing that this weekly
report is properly and adequately prepared. -
In connection with our last weekly report, Mr. Carusi read to me aportion thereof, referring to an incident affecting a Mr. Lester Jones, which.92

to say the least, was phrased in a most melodramatic manner. While I think ourreports should be prepared in an interesting manner, I think we should avoid
any phraseology of a melodramatic character.
Very truly yours,

I just telephoned Bruce Nathan at Kansas City in regard to
telegram received from him stating that thees,timony_ i_nlk5~s*_1;g1l@§ City__;v@:;_s§-agre_Case._ he says that thetestimony is desired in connection with an interview that Vetterli
had with Reppert at the inception of this case, after which undesirablepublicity ensued. I remember the nature of the interview, of course,
but nnr definite recollection is that I was not present at this
interview, although I, of course, discussed it with Vetterli prior
to making this interview and authorized it. It is possible that
Gus Jones went with him for this interview, although I think that he
made it alone. Of this I an not certain, Brit I am almost sure that
I was not a party to the interview in question.
Nathan said that this information was not secured from the

I called Mr. Larson at Detroit and advised him that
Chief of PolicqfFultz at Wellsville, Ohio called Sheriff
Bash last night and made some overtures to him about turning
over Eighhtti to them upon the basis that the extraditionproceedings of the Missouri State Highway Patrol would probably9292 not go through and he just thought that he would like to turn
him over to Bash; that after consulting the District Attorney
Bash declined to accept Richetti because there might be some
contempt proceedings if Bash tried to get him away from the
court; that Fultz then indicated that he might be willing to
turn Richetti over to the Division this morning; that Hr.
Nathan was advised not to have anything to do with it and
there is a possibility Fultz will contact the Detroit and Cin-
cinnati offices this morning; that if by any chance he doesget in touch with the Detroit office to tell him that the Division
does not want to have anything to do with the matter; that he
had a chance to turn Richetti over to the Division when the
Division wanted him and now the Division will have nothing what-
soever to do with the matter. Mr. Larson said he would Fultz
§92 this if he called.I

Mr. Tracy
I talked with Mr. Little at Oklahoma City and told
him the I had talked to Mr. Brantley several times aboutBeulagfgeardg that you have sent a memorandum out in which you
said I be ieve that the informant who is contacting Beulah
Beard should be continued for the time being". Mr. Little ad-
vised that the informant is going to let the Division know
when she leaves over there, when the train leaves and her
destination. I advised hr. Little that she has made the state-
ment that Mr. Purvis was to be placed on the "spot"; that the
matter should not be treated lightly and should be run down.
Hr. Little said he talked with Mr. Brantley before
he left last night and he gave him the set up on the different
informants. I told him to maintain the informant on this matter
indefinitely until definite word is obtained as to any move
against Purvis.
I advised Mr. Little that theiwatch and/ring belonging
to Floyd would be sent to Hr. Bentley in the course of the next
few days, so that they can be turned over to Floyd's mother and
a receipt obtained for them.

I have s close trail on Richard Galatas, being one or tho trio that
murdered him and I would like, if it is sithin your poser, to question him
on this osss roslly closely. I an ours that Raylond Hsilton was one and
the brains behind tho criao. No question but shot eons of
