ment. According to Mr. Henderson, at various times during the late
hours of the night, he observed a Packard Sedan calling for the
individuals who occupied the said apartment, mentioning that he
was unable to ascertain the license number of the Packard. Mr.
Henderson related that he informed the owner of the said apartment

occupying the apartment Just below him were gangsters, in view of
their peculiar actions. He stated that he was positive that these
individuals received mail from Chicago, Ill. and from some point
in the state of Ohio.
M. Henderson also related that in the same block, some
time prior to the departure of Richetti and Floyd from 8 - lBth St.,
four men, whose identity he did not know, but Iose naes he believed

what peculiar circumstances and left without much ado. Mr. Henderson

REN:ED December 8, 1934 .MEDPL-_?iDUTd FOR ms nmzcraa.
In connection with the hansas City Massacre case, e J _
United States Attorney at Kansas City, Missouri held a conference at
St. Louis, Missouri on December 1, 1934 with Special Agents in Charge
Vetterli, Jones, Harvey and Special Agent Train r relative to the,matqter of cooperation by the1Kanaas City, IissourisPgli§e_pgpartmgnt,TBé"s5éEI5iI§s5£§"in Charge-aremtow§rep5¥§ mEmoranda of their contacts
with the local authorities, setting forth, to the best f their recol-lection, the substance of conversations had with Messrs Reppert and
Higgins.
Vetterli and Special Agents Frank Smith and F. J. Lackey on
December 7, 1934 viewed Adamjichetti at Kansas City, Missouri. Agent
Lackey only partially identified Richetti as resembling one of the gun-
men seen by him.
James M LaCapra, who furnished considerable information con-
cerning this case, is now in the County Jail at Wellington, Kansas where
the State authorities are holding him on a local charge and apparently
are not inclined to release him on bond. LaCapra has written letters
to the Attorney General and to the Division requesting assistance. He
has been advised that the Federal Government has no jurisdiction over
the charges which have been preferred against him and therefore can
not assist him in his present predicament.
The Oklahoma City Offi e has been requested to obtain a com»plete detailed description of theiguns borrowed from the late Chief of
Police, Otto Reed of HcAlester, Oklahoma and which were taken to Kansas
City, Missouri on June 17, 1934.
The Cincinnati Office is tracing a three year subscriptionto the92American Magazine, which was apparently taken out by Rose|Bairdas Mrs. Georgebianders, wife of Adam Richetti, with a view to possibly
establishing 0 er addresses where Floyd and Richetti resided.

MEMORANDUM FOR HR. TAMM.
With regard to the prosecution pending
Richard Tallmant-l3alatas, et 81, in Federal Court
Kansas City, Missouri, Hr. Cowley requested that
Criminal Division of the Department be consulted
view to ascertaining whether a plea of guilty in
Federal prosecution is admissible in evidence in
cution for murder in a State Court.against
at
the
with a
a
a prose-
Mr. Cowley stated that this will be the only
question which will prevent Galatas and the other de-
fendants from entering a plea of guilty. -It is observed
that the indictments returned against Galatas and the
others do not cite any overt acts which could directly
implicate them in the murders, the United States Attorney
at Kansas City, Missouri having intentionally phrased
these indictments in this manner in order that it would
be possible to secure pleas of guilty from the defendants
without fear on their part of being implicated in the
murders.
Respectfully,

llEMOR.ANDUH FOR THE DIRECTOR. M'-T"l¢Y------ -
at the requet of llr. '1' , the following nemorandmn is submitted
relative to sq; recollection of the ~§hO1'.g921Jll'1Il the posssesigp Q; the writer_and
ch to s ed of Hcale ter, dt1ehema,et the time of the so-called
Union Station Massacre atoltansas C ty, Missouri.
Before leaving Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, SAC R.H. Colvin procured from
the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Police Department e 12 gouge pump gun with sawed off
barrel. To the best of the writer's recollection, this gun was nade by Remington.
At the time the writer and Special Agent rt-hex Smith of the Oklahoma City Office
picked up Chief of Police Otto Reed at Mailester, Oklahoma for the purpose of
taking him to Hot Springs, Aricensss with us, he took from his gun rack in the
Police Department Headquarters st licilester, Oklahoma s 12 gauge sawed off pump
shotgun which to the best of agent's recollection was of Winchester make. Ihile
the writer is not positive at this time as to the make of these respective shot-
guns, he is positive that both guns were 12 gauge and that neither were lo gauge
and he is also positive that there were no double barrel shotguns on the party. -
Attention is called to the fact that Merle Gill, forensic ballistician st Kansas
City, Missouri, has stated on several occasions that the breach markings on the
two lo gauge shotgun shells found at the scene of the Union Station lbssecre
were different and had evidently been fired from s double barrel shotgun. None
of the officers involved in the Union Station lhssacre were armed with a double
barrel shotgun and there were only two shotguns in the party at ell, both of which
were 12 gauge pump guns ss heretofore described. When the writer first heard of
these two l6 gauge shotgun shell cases being found, it was reported that they had
been found to the left of the automobile in which the writer was sitting when the
Massacre occurred. The writer heard this not only from one but from several sources,
and it was not until Gill's restatemnt that the writer ever hesni that the shot-
gun hell cases were found in the oar.
The writer has discussed the matter of these shotguns with Special Agent
in Charge Gus T. Jones of the Sen Antonio Office and to the best of the recollection
of Hr. Jones, these guns were returned to Icalester, Oklahoma and Oklahoma City,
Oklahom respectively a day or two after the lhssecre or about the time of thefuneral of Chief of Police Otto Reed. j%:'_L_{_Q_n_eg_'__t9__0o1le£:t11In that these

Hen. for the Director,
D90 O us.
of his knowledge, the gun of Chief of Police Reed is st Ioileeter, Oklahoma and
the gun carried by this Agent is in the posseeion of the Oklahoma City Police
Department. The Agent does not remember any distinguishing marks on this gun
of the Oklahoma City Police Department by which it could be subsequently
identified. The writer is thoroughly familiar with shotguns and is positive
that the gun carried by Chief of Police Reed was l2 gauge. The writer ws
sitting within two feet of Chief of Police Reed st the time that this shooting
took place end hes elweys been firmly of the opinion that no shots whatever
were fired by Chief of Police Heed end certainly that no shots were fired from
e shotgun by Chief of Police Rde
