that e letter was introduced by the Department of Justice, written by
some man who claimed that Shearer had threatened this man's life, and he,
Ilr. Hoover, Irolild like to have llr. Quinn check on this.
Iith reference to Ir. Stanley's call that an Agent confer with
Ir. Barnett llonday morning, Ir. Hoover instructed Ir. Quinn to have an
Agent see Ir. Gernett and to be sure that Ie do not get any of the gambling

same time we don't want to be working with him; that we will take any-
thing he has but we are not going to give anything we have;.that thishas to be done veryhiplomatically; that he does not want Ir. Brantley
submerged or pushed down by Gus Jones or Frank Blake because both are
inclined to get around and do scanething next year; that the United
States Attorney has nothing to do with the ease xmtil we get it cleaned
up; that it should be done like Ir. Gonnelley in Chicago, as a special
assignment, directly out of Iashington.

a test at Iichita, but nothing ever became of it; that if there is
such an organization, he knows nothing about it; that he,too will also

Ir..Hoover advised llr. Quinn to call Ir. Stanley
hill that he is Q Eew Iork Gity at e Botel ew I-DIILQI; that _- _=
Hoover will probably be there for several days.
I1. Hoover advised Ir. Quinn that he had been thinking over
the Detroit case, and instructed Hr. Quinn to see if there is some basis
for us to get in on the case; that if there is some basis, he wanted to
be advised before a wire is sent to the Chief of Detectives in Detroit;
that if the crime occurred subsequent to the Fugitive Act, it would
be within our jurisdiction. Ir. Qiinn stated that he was not sure about
the date, but that he thought it happened before the Fugitive Act. Hr.
Hoover stated that h thought that Ir.QJinn should check up on this case
and see if there was not some basis for the Bureau to get in on it; that
if there were, llr. Qniun should telephone the Chief of Detectives and
explain to sin that there is no National Crimepomnission; that there is
an advisory committee to the Attorney General but which deals with
pdrely administrative natters; that we are, however, making the subject
in this case a fugitive from justice under the Federal law and that the
Chief of Detectives could state in his announcement that the man is
being sought by the Detroit authorities and by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and any information obtained should be reported directly
to either of these agencies. Ir. Hoover stated that he thought that
pl!
lemorandum telféihone conversationUr. Quinn and . Hoover. -4- 3/16/35
the Bureau should get into the case ii possible and get an indictment
against the subject as a fugitive under the Federal Fugitive act. Mr.
Quinn stated that he would look into the matter further before a reply
was sent to the telegram from the Chief of Detectives. Ir. Hoover suggested
that Ir. Quinn inquire of llr. Iamm regarding the Federal Angle of this
case as it was Ir. Hoover's recollection that Ir.Tam had looked the
matter up some time ago when the papers were playing the case up and
inquiring Ihy the Federal governet had not taken a hand in it. Ir. Quinn
stated that if they found out that it did happen before the Fugitive Act,
they would prepare a wire along the lines indicated by the Director; and
if any further question arose he, Hr. Quinn, would call the Director on it.
Ir. Hoover stated that if Hr. Ieldrop or anyone asked Ihat he was
doing in New Iork, Ir. Quinn should evade any direct answer and if he were
asked if the Director were up there on the raid matters being staged by
the Treasury Department, Hr. Quinn should reply that he had no comment to
make.

Memorandum of telephone conversation
Mr Hoover and Hr. Brantley. 3/lo/35.
Hr. Hoover instructed Hr; Brantley that he should
endeavor to handle the matter very delicately and carefully; particularly
with reference to Hamer, who will probably want to dominate the scene; that
Hamer is very suspicious and critical, but thoroughly fearless and honest
according to Gus Jonesobservations. Ir. Hoover stated that after Hamer
learns that Hr. Brantley is on the same job he will undoubtedly seek Mr.
Brantley out; that Ir. Brantley: position should he that we will take
anything Hamer offers to give us, but we will not give him anything; that
he should he handle with diplomacy; that this assignment should be handled
in the same manner that the Dillinger and Brener assignments in Chicago
are being handled, as a special assignment out of Waehingto; further that
Hr. Hoover desired the job to be done quietly and effectively without regard
to local au orities, unless we need their assistance, but that Hr. Hooverdesired to/gs Job Without their aid if possible, due to the _1ea_lousy and
dishonesty of the local agencies. Ir. Hoover also stated that he wanted
the job done in a vigorous manner; that he did not want any delayed action;
that Mr. Brantley had charge" of the case and was not to take orders from
any of the SACs in whose districts he night work; and that he should call on
them any time for assistance when it was needed; that he should wire or phone
in each day any of the developments.
Hr. Brantley stated that he thought they would be stationed
at Dallas for the moment; that he would like to have Agent Frank Smith included
in the squad. Fr. Hoover stated that it would be alright to include Agent Sm-th

in the squad, although he believed that Agent Smith was somehhat disposed
to be of the typical Southwest type, fearless, honest and with much ability
along the line of current cases, but someihat slow in runing down cases
needing quick admin.-Lsi-rative action and ability; that llr. Brantley should
report to Hashington any observations he made in respect to the men selected
for the squad. Ir. Hoover further stated
of his comments and observations which hethat he did not wish to have any
had spoken, repeated to any
subordinates, as was the tendency on the part of some of the executive
staff, advising him of the situation at Chicago where SAC Ladd had indiscreetly
spoken of his part in the questioning of !Doc" Barker; that Hr. Brantley
should not advise anyone of the conversations which he had with Washington,
and it was not necessary for the agents to know what each other was doing
when they were working on matters of a confidential character; that Hr. Hoover
desired each agent to keep very close mouthed about the whole assignment and
that they should not be allowed to talk over the case with agents in the
Dallas and San Antonio office; that it was Ir. Brantley's job to contact
the offices in those districts and advise them of any developments which he
saw proper to advise; that Hamer should be watched very closely a d that
ur_ . .
in the case; that however, care should ben
_ Brantley should see that the Bureau was given fair credit for its part
exercised to prevent any open
feud between Hamer and the Bureau, as he would be inclined to issue a statement
stating that he was unable to secure any cooperation from the Federal
Government and the Department of Justice.
Ir. Hoover inquired why Mr. Brantley had not knoiof the formation
of the "Flying Squadron". Ir. Brantley advised that he had not deemed it
of sufficient importance to advise the Bureau, as in his opinion it was merely
an effort of Stanley Rogers to get his name in the paper; that he only had one
old pline in which he had installed a radio and that the plan, if at all
carried out, was merely in a formulative stage. Mr. Hoover stated that it
had been given considerable publicity and
that the Bureau get in on the formulative
nenspapers had reported that the squadron
at Kansas City. I. Brantley stated thatthat he considered it important
stages of any such activity; that the
had two planes in Qklehona and one
he had not heard of these latter _
planes; that the one owned by Stanley Rogers was the only one he knew about.
Hr. Hoover stated that if we did not get in at the start of such things they
would be taking away the credit from our men and focusing public attention upon
themselves; that he, ir. Hoover, believed that we should get all the credit
due us in the public eye and should endeavor to keep ourselves there by
active participation in such projects which are worthy of consideration. Mr.
Hoover stated that he thought there might be possibilities in the plan for
such a squadron in the pursuit of bank robbers, fugitives, etc., and although
it was uncertain where we would be able to get the planes, nevertheless we
should be in on the plan and he was concerned about the report that we did
not know anything about it; that he understood Rogers was very friendly toward
the Bureau, and he did not understand why he, Rogers, had not consulted
Hr. Brantley before starting on the plan. hr. Brantley stated that Rogers

had told llr. Stanley this morning where llr. Hoover is, and llr. Stanley;
words were: "What - -- - are we going to do to get him out fishing .
llr. Quinn advised that he had contacted Colonel Lincoln end_Ir.
Baker. He further stated that Fir. -Tohn Keith is out this morning - he had
a bad cold - and so he had Agent Hickey in char of , ge the office, go down tosee Garnett, who told Hickey that the Senate Committee had certified to him -5,};
a brief containing a possible perjury case; that he wanted a check-up made /on Mr. L. R.Ti.lder, Chairman of the Executive Board of thy Gulf lndnstriea,
and also llr.- alvin Secretary and C , Treasurer of theflletal Trades De tment,American Fe eration of Labor; also, a sworn statement from ll:-.£
torney-at-law in Washington, and a sworn statement from Ilr.
llr. Hoover inquired if our investigation was limited just to
these, an- Hr. Quinn stated Ies - in other words, it seems as though on
August 3 1933 in , , response to an invitation to bid, Wilder makes the state-
ment that Mr. Raven '2! professed to have a lc ose friend here in izashingtonwho could have th?Naval Ship-building Program extended for a consideration,
and have certain hips awarded to the Gulf Industries for constructions. llr.
Hoover stated what he has in mind is, when we investigate, we make an invest-
igation, and as he understands this request it is merely desired that we see
certain people, and no other persons. ullr. Quinn stated that we had not ro-
ceived the brief from the Committee. llr. Hoover stated what he had in mind
is he does not think that we should be restricted - if we are going to make an
-investigation, we shouJ.d go into the matter, and not 111st see certain persons.

five persons, and we find in reading the brief going into the matter that it
will be necessary to interview nine persons to do it thoroughly, and we speak
to llr. Garnett, who say; he does not want the other four interviewed, than
we should decline to make the investigation; that the responsibility will be
ours to do a thorough job and we are not going to in-hits-wash it. Ir. oover
specifically instructed that this matter be gone into very thoroughly, and
if it be found that Garnett's request is not complete, he should be so ad-
vised and find out whether he wants to have a complete investigation made,
and if not, we will not conduct the investigation at all. _
Hr. Hoover inquired with regard to the Detroit situation, and Ir-
Quinn advised we have been purposely keeping out of that, according to Ir.
'1amm; however, that it did happen after the Federal statute was passed, so
heeontacted the Deputy Chief of Detectives out there Saturday afternoon and
told him that we desired not to have that title used but that he could state
that Goodricb's apprehension I33 desired by the Federal Buresl-l Of Investiga-
tion. Ir. Quinn stated he further told him that llr. Larson, the Agent in Charge
at Detroit, would get in touch with him, and we would go along and do every-
thing we possibly could. Hr. Hoover inquired whether we had taken steps to
have the indictment returned on this man, and Hr. Quinn stated that Ilr. Tamm
talked to Larson on the subject Saturday afternoon, and arrangements have
been made, he understands, to get an indictment and we are going to issue an

Subsequent to the conversation with llr. Hoover, llr. Tolson ad-
vised llr. Quinn by telephone, also from New York, that, with regard to the
call from Mr. Maragon, it does not matter to us what radio station they use,

difference. llr. Tolson stated that llr. llaragom may use our name in getting
the radio stations to cooperate, so he thinks it is entirely up to llr. llara-
gen. Hr. Quinn stated he would contact Ir. llaragon and tell him that in so
far as we are concerned, it does not make any difference. llr. Tolson stated
that, of course, Hr. Hoover will not go on the air in this connection, under
any circumstances, and Hr. llaragon should make the arrangements, himself.
Mr. Tolson requested llr. Quinn to have Hr. Schilder write a let-
ter to hr: 1.v».!Qtea*T?i1nehell, clealg with the receipt of fingerprints from
Miami and the number identified, and any pertinent information that it is
entirely proper to give out. Mr. Tolson stated we have been getting a lot

quested that ilr. Schilder prepare a letter to Hr. Walter Winchell just sum-
marizing the matter, so that Hr. Hoover can see the letter and sign it up
there.
Hr. Tolson also requested Ir. Quinn to inquire of Ir. Richmond what
success he had on the baseball permit - he was curious to know whether they
told him we would be able to get the South Diamond on the Ellipse for our games
this Summer. Hr. Tolson stated he wéuld like to know the next time he talks
with Hr. Quinn. -
his Quinn stated that Mr. Clegg desired to talk with llr. Tolson
about something, he did-nit say ihat. Ea further stated that iir. Clegg is
now reviewing Mr. Nathan's talks, and there Nam only a couple of things which
he, llr. Quinn, thought should be left out. Ir. Tolson said to tell llr. Glegg
we should be sure these talks are all right, and that he, r. Clegg, should
see them. 1
Mr. Quinn told Hr. Tolson he contacted Colonel Lincoln, llr. Stanley
and Mr. Baker. Hr. Tolson inquired whether Colonel Lincoln wanted to come
over, and Mr. Quinn stated Ho - he would like llr. Tolson to give him a call
when he arrived bash in the eitqr, and that Hr, Baker said ir@ reading the
papers he could understand why Hr. Hoover is out of the city, with all this
going on. Mr. Tolson said 'this was just as well.
Hr. Quinn stated he had orderedfhvertime in llr. Renneberger's sec-
tion, and inquired whether Mr. Tolson desired them to hold a meeting in nis
absence and consider the North Dakotaqtouth Dakota proposition, and Hr. Tolson
advised that he did, and desired that they reach a definite recommendation.
Mr-. Tolson inquired as to Mr. Renneberger's situation on the llanusl, and llr.
Quinn advised that he sent Mrs. Henley down with lliss Wall this morning to
start proofing it, and the general letter to go out is being typed. llr.
Tolson stated this was dictated last Thursday - that llr. Clegg told him be-
fore he left town that that letter was dictated - and that surely they are
not still transcribing it. Hr. Quinn stated that it was pretty lengthy, and
Mr. Tolson said it will be eight our ten pages, but it should not take three
or four days just to get it typed. llr. Tolson said he would like Hr. Quinn
to get this letter typed by five o'clock and go over it with the Executive
Committee and make sure that everything in the letter is all right, because

not, so fer as he knows, but he will follow it, and if anything does come up

llr. Quinn advised Ir. '.l'olson that theisnce res quite a success;
that the only trouble was that there was too much of a crowd; that the
Association made approximately one hundred and twenty five or one hundred

advised that they had found a memorandum spared by" Bardo, who is oneof the officers of tge Bethlehem 3teel Cog that this is undoubtedly the
document referred to; that it t:a.'§_*srittén"iu _Bardo'5 handwriting and tells
of a meeting in a hotel room and states that She'eTr¬r threatened to k.'.L1J.fdakefield L?! ; that this memorandum appeared to have been given to Hr.

to in thqlT'ashi.ngt9g1_~Post article, dated larch 27, 1929, which Shearer
is supposed to have sent to Homer L.iFerguson, President of thqewport
News Shipbuilding and Drydock Co. Mr. Tam stated that they had not
found this letter; that the only thing about the killing is the memorandumby¥%1-ag m-. Tolson stated that the killing was only one angle to the
ma er; that the letter is supposed to contain a list of the £ourteenX5enators
including the nine specifically mentioned as being opposed to the bill

stated that the article mentioned wa.s/ e Washington Post of Saturday on Page

thing involved; that if the letter cannot be found it would possibly be
a good thing to be able to state that no such letter appears in the files
of the Department; that he is supposed to have produced the letter before
the Consittee. Mr. Tolson stated that he might call in later, but Hr. Tam
stated he would call Mr. Tolson after going through the file./

it would be investigated. Kr. Guinene stated he would get Yates to

Hr. Tamm advised Hr. Hoover in New Iork, by telephone, that he
had talked with H1. Guine e la t i ht '.b n s n g 0 out the _steri3.ization statement, and
h d ni h e e es e made any such sta ement, and sent us a night letter last nightstating that B. Cilates of the92§an Francisco Examiner inquired if we were
assisting in the ' vestigation, o which Mr. Tamm definitely stated that we
were not; that to his inquiry whether we intended to investigate the matter
Hr. Tamm replied that no complaint had been made to this office, and no in-
vestigation would he made unless definite information was furnished this oi-
fice indicating a violation of the WSTA. llr. Tam states he asked him to
trace back on the matter in an effort to determine where the story eminated
and try to sto that tp sor of thing out there, but Mr. Guinane states very
emphatically he did not make any such statemert .
Hr. Tamm advised Hr. Hoover further that one of the jurors on the
County Grand Jury investigating alleged scandal on that matter, came to Hr.
Guinane and asked if we would gve them some assistance, and Mr. Guinane told
him he could not and would not take any action unless they brought in prime.
facie evidence of a violation of the r.STA or some other Federal Statute with-
in our jurisdiction; that Hr. Guinane made this very emphatic, and told them
that if they wanted assistance in the investigation of local crimes, they
should get in touch with the State Bureau in California. llr. Tam repeated
that Mr. Guinane stated emphatically that he did not make any statement to§_
Q.
the press that we were going to do this at all; in fact, the only man he talked
to at all was Yates. llr. Hoover inquired what paper it appeared in, and Hr.
Tamm stated in the Herald - a Universal Service story. Ilr. Hoover asked if
it had appeared in any of the San Francisco papers, and Hr. Ta.-:'.m stated that
Mr. Guinane did not know if it did. llr. Hoover said if it was carried as aE Franciscohulllletin, Mr. Guinane should go to see the City Editor and tell
he would like to know what the article is predicated on, as it is an
bsolute lie. Mr. '1amm stated that Hr. Guinane said that Yates of the Ex-
a.*::iner is the only one who asked him about it, and he is going to get in
touch with Iates and get a story from him as to what he did with the informa-
tion which he, Guinane, furnished Yates. Hr. Hoover stated that there must
be some ambiguity upon the part of the SAC Guinane!h&ndli-Hg such matters, as
he gets constantly quoted. Mr. Eamm remarked that it is strange that Guinane

is quoted all the time when he is not making statements, and the other SAC:
do not have that difficulty, and along this line he talked with llr. Harvey
about theoase and he is absolutely innocent and has made no statements
to anybody abs-at e.r.ythir.g, and says that the ns=s1:-apa- sen attended the Conl-
missioner's Hearing and that is where they got their information; that the
Philadelphia papers did not quote him, but he pointed out that it is often
s trick of the newspaper men to make a statement about him, and than follow
it by information obtained from some other source and make it appear as though
they were quoting him, and that he, llr. Harvey, had not made any statements.
Hr. Hoover remarked that this is possible, but not very probable.
Hr. Tamm advised the Director that, with regard to the Goodrich
case Q .Det_roit, he taed 1'. Luson about the eatter Saturday 21!!
ternoon and he said he had wanted to get into the case some time ago but
that the City authorities - the police -- had seemed somewhat reluctant tohevigus in the case. Ilr. Larson, according to llr. Tenn, went so fer as to
go/ e District Attorney and ask him to see if the prosecuting attorney
would not ask us to come into the case, but that the police seemed rather
reluctant and this is the reason he has never gone ahead with it. Hr. Hoover
inquired whether Mr. Larson had ever notified us of this , and llr. Tam stated phe did not; that llr. Larson says he thought it was purely a local offense, {
and Mr. Tamm inquired of him why he thought we should go into it, and Er.
Larson indicated that he just wanted to get into it and help them if he
could. Ilr. Hoover stated that the whole trouble is we have got to get into
it now, and if we were in'the position of specifically asking some months t
ago when this occurred whether we could be of assistance, and thq told usno, we could very nicely say, about the Jcriticism we have received from
t.1l_e_ press , that we had offered assistan e but it had been declined, "Eat as
it ision, we do not know what Larson hes said, and the matter is very vague _'
as we cannot say that they refused to-accept our aid, and it is this sort of
thing which puts us in e. very bad light. Hr. Tamm advised that Hr. Larsonhas an appointment with the Chief of Detectives this afternoon, to go over
the whole thing, and will advise Hr. Tam of the results. Ir. Hoover stated
that Mr. Larson should get the indictment in the Federal Court against this
man, and be thoroughly protected. _
Hr. Tamm told Ilr. Hoover that llr. Whitley called this morning about
stories in the-Row York Mirror to the effect that Federal Agents and policeare investigating in the va.riousHarlen;_ night clubs, looking for Robinson dis-
guised as a woman, which he, Mr. Tmnm, presumes" is predicated upon Winchell's

chell at the broadcast and he had this item written up before llr. Hoover
got there, and wanted to know whether it was. alfright, et_ caters, and Ir.
Hoover told him that one guess is as good as another. 'I'r. Tam stated
that technically we are looking for him in How York. Hr. Hoover said what
he had in mind was Winchell also had in the broadcast about Frankyfwilaon
in New Orleans, and it might be well to have ourselves in the picture, even
though there is nothing to it. Hr... Hoover stated he asked that he, Winchell
put in something about the Ha.miltonKarpisy3-obinson matter, which he did.
Hr. Hoover stated he was trying to re-gain some of the publicity which
we have lost during the past week. Hr. Hoover instructed Hr. Tamm to tell
Hr. Whitley that, if any newspapers caJ_l., he should rezse to make any com-
ment, and if any inqairies are made in Hsshington, %. Tm should tell
Colonel Gates or Mr. Suydam he does not know anything about that matter as
Hr. Hoover is handling it, and is in New York, and let it stand at that.
Hr. Hoover stated the paper was already printed and on the street with this
story in it, and Winchell picked it off the second page.
Mr. Tamm advised Hr. Hoover further that I1. Carusi called him this
morning and referred to Shearer's statement, and wanted to know whether we
had am] lists of Communists in our files, and was told we did not. llr.

of the Department of Justice who is supposed to have said the other day
that we not only had no lists of Gomnnmists in the Department files but
that there were no Federal Statutes penalizing such activities. llr. Tam
told Hr. Oarusi he did not know who the high Department oi Justice of-
ficial was, but it was very accurate, so far as he, llr. Tsmm, knew. llr.
Carusi announced he was the high Department of Justice official who made
the statement. Hr. Tamm advised the Director we have a plant in New YorkCity, usi 12 men, 6 at a time, coverin,-;__the1{Qpnrad,]romen, who is a friend
of Gladys mayor;-'--that she went to Hes Iorl; t-.e _ot-herLd_a_v5 that GladysSawyer - Rho wife of Harry Sawyer; that Ha.rr_iS§* Iyer is s frie,§;1- of ?IilJ.is.nFfeiss oi.-ieissman over around Newark, and we mught we might get a leadon Harry Sawyer, but it has not developed anything as yet. Mr. Hoover
instructed that word be given to Whitley, if anything breaks on this, to
advise Hr. Hoover at the Hotel Ref Yorker. llr. Hoover stated he had not
gone to the New York Office, but had been in touch, now and then, with it.
He stated he did not desire to go to the office unless it was something
absolutely necessary.

llr. Tamm stated that instructions have been issued to the Her Iork
Office that ii they get em Lead on Sawyer, not to go off prematurely and
try to pick him up on the street, but to try to trail him back where he is
because that may lead to the capture of other members of the mob. Ir.
Hoover said this is what he had in mind, because if we follow him, he may
lead us to Karpis and the other crowd, because they may be hanging around
New York. a » .
hr. Iamm advised Hr. Hoover that we have this morning e request
from Bruce Ne-than to be informed whether he should 'go along and conduct
some additional minor investigations in connection with the State in-
dictment of idem ichetti for murder - the County Attorney has asked thmfor one or two irons which are probably not in our les; namely, as to
whether certain witnesses can testify as to the price of clothes that
Floyd and Bichetti had on a particular day. Ilr. Hoover said he thought
we should help on this, and Hr. Tamm said he did not see how we can avoid
it because the police will not give them any help, and after all, we have
a personal interest in the murder. Ir. Hoover stated it would react bad-
ly against us if they lose that case. llr. Tam stated he would instruct
Nathan to go along with it.
llr. Tamm stated to the Director that he talked with Ir. Ladd last
night and told him to have llr. Nathan call the Director as soon as he
completes his inquiries there today.

be the most vicious attack on the/arole system that he has ever
written. This story will preceed the book in the form of a movie.

Ed-Hobinson. I advised 1.'.r. Tolson that Lir. rjooney had stated

Tamm:Monday, came back and asked them not to report
this matter o the Chie Justice. Of course, it was reported to the
Chief Justice on last Monhy, which was the 10th, but Justice ughes
said in view of the fact that the case was pending, the only person
to whom he could refer the matter for pro er investigation was theDepartment of Justice; in view ii the relationship of the Attorney
General as opposing counsel to he didn't want to do anything
on it until the decision was ham. The decision was handed downtoday, and he called the General this afternoon. He says that
is supposed to be a very high-class reputable attorney, and the -
tainly if he were honest and sincere in this matter, the firstthing
he would have done when this was brought to his attention was to some
to the Chief Justice, and explain that he had nothing to do with it.P was occupying an office in the Supreme Court Building which had
een supplied for him to do his work in the library, etc., but he never
came near the Court about it. The officials at the Capitol havent
done much, but the Captain of the Guard up there has had a little dis-creet check made to see who this. woman is. She is a divorced
woman from Birmingham * * *.
Ehat does the Chief Justice want? r
He wanted a complete investigation to see who wrote the letters, who
dictated them and why, and a complete investigation into all the facts
with crininal prosecution or disbarment proceedings if any attorney
is involved. He says that * * *.
The way it looks to me is that here is some individual who wanted to
appear as a "big shot", and wanted to impress the other members of the
company or the association as a "big shot", and he had this letter
written using these familiarities, calling the Justices by their first
names, and indicating that the decision was going to be against the
Government, which everybody assumed that it was going to be. If it
had come out that way, and the decision had been against the Govern-
ment, and the letter hadn!t been found, this fellow probably would
have been in the position to get a nice slice of money out of these '
utility companies. It strikes me that what you ought to do is to
get hold of this woman and get a sworn statement from her, advising her
of her legal rights, of course. I would ask her what she wrote it on
and where it was written, so that you can get the machine. What I
would do is to get hold of her right stay * * *
Here is what I have done - I have taken the letters up to the Laboratory.

Mr. Whitley be brought_down from New York to work on this matter with Hr. Loebl; thatJ-
on it. _ -
But the point that strikes me is there is not mch use of wasting with
Laboratory if we can get the woman to make the statemet and if she
will produce the typewriter. Of coarse, if she lies, oer Leberatorv can
prove it, but my idea would}: to get her and a sworn statement fromher, and then I would get hold of this fellow
Well, is in Birmingham now. He was up here as a spectator in
the Court on December 19, 1935, and from the information available
now, he wasn't up here at any other time.

Now my feeling about it is this: I think that we ought to send some
damn good men down to Birmighan. e - -
Here is what I have done so fer. We didn't get this until after five
0' clock. I have sent Louis Loehl up to see Captain92Crooks of the Guard
at the Capitol, and to see United States tEarshal92Green of the Sxpreme
Court, who has had his thumbs in it e couple of times, to get all the
facts so that we can confront this woman with something tangible, and
then get a sworn affidavit * * *
Don't let that woman get out of Eashington. -

You see, this happened last Saturday, and we don't know where this woman
is at this time. They have had over a week since the matter was brought
to the attention of the Chief Justice. She was working for the Resettle-
ment Agency here a week ago, and there has been no indication that she
has mved cuts '
I would locate her and keep her under surveillance so that we won't lose
track of her, until we get the facts to serve as a basis to question her.
Row, when is Nathan going to be done at Buffalo.
Nathan is leaving at eight 0' clock, and will be there tomorrow, and he
wants to come by New York on the way back -I -1- -1- record I-an out!,
The following is b;-r dictation from Mr. Tamm: Mr. Hoover instructed that
an immediate surveillance be placed on the Pwoman so that if she attempts to
