Likewise in view of the statement in this communication -that the writer was
going to the coast, it was suggested that offices in that section keep in touch
with possible contacts of navis. Under date of lviaroh 8, 1955, this office '
advised by letter from the Bureau that the handwriting on the above mentioned ff. ;
letter was identical with that of Volney Davis, the report stating, in additio§1,""'=
that the physical condition of the stationery had been recordedgfor any -pongparieon -which might be desiredin the future. _ I 15- V.{.f_, 1 gf _ =-_*-y;'J- ' 2* r -'--* »- "'~ - M .~'F~92"'._-.' V "I--1'5-".J"*" _t"9292~ -¢r"':£ '-1:-W! ,2 _l ! .é."»v '. . , . _ ~ , ,
Regarding the investigation conducted pursuant to this infonn'a-'_"
tion by the Salt Lake City Office, reference should be made to the report of»;=_;.-f
I. '1'. McLaughlin, Salt Lake city; dated :5-e-ss, where "mu details 'eeneern1ng"'f *Y* *
the inquiries made at St. George, Utah and vicinity are set out. - '
' .- ~,_»
" " - ' ~- In view of the apparent desire of Subject Davis to recover his "Y ~
belongings, either by personal contact or some other mans, it was thought
advisable that actual surveillance by Agents of this office might be warranted. ~ up
Under date of March 11, 1935, the Bureau was advised of the belief that tw6'~~'¢;-'- -» _»
Agents might be assigied to duty at the Beaumont Apartments, at Kansas_vOity, gi '5-T
for a period of not to exceed thirty days in order that appropriate steps.might_g .
be taken if Vclney Davis or anyone representing him calls to obtain possession 1
of Davis' personal effects. This office is in receipt of a letter from the y -
Bureau, under date of March 13, 1936, setting out that action in this regard
was left to the judgment of the Kansas City Office. However, the attention_:;»?;
of all offices is directed at this time to letter to the Bureau from the Kansas i
City Office dated March 15, 1935, indicating that since March ll, 1935, whenr =
the request was first made for approval of the Bureau to assign such Agents to_.
such surveillance, there has been a report indicating the possibility that Davis J.
might communicate with a girl in Kansas City, naely - rst Esther Willians,*l$ F
119 Earth Tbpping street, referred to earlier in the body of this report. The ;,
additional fact that five Agents are being used each night in an apartment near V
the residence of this girl was conveyed at this time to the Bureau; accordingly,
at the present time it is hardly practical to keep Agents at the Beaumont Apart-'
ments, such action being deferred for the time being to await possible develop-
ments on the angle involving the Willians girl. However, if no results are
obtained from this surveillace within a short time further consideration will
be given to personally covering the Beaumont Apartments at 3028 Baltimore Avenue.
The 24 hour surveillance previously maintained at the above address, beginning
2-9-35 was tenninated at approximately 4:30 PJ%. 2-19-35. An itemized list of
the property at that address has been prepared by Special Agent E.M.Heevrin and
is contained in report of activities conducted by him and Qther Agents, as followss:

that Apartment 8, at 4915 Troost, was originally rented by a Er. and I-frs. Mitchell

' ' It should be noted here that ta searchof the property recovered ;
in Apartment s at 4915 Troost, Kansas City, izieeeuri; Ihich was made 1=etnf_ ; -
before and after the apprehension of Lane on February 22, 1935, revealed, anong '
other things, a quantity of nitro glycerine, Lane having admitted, afterbeing 7
incarcerated in the Jackson County Jail, that certain bottles in the_ kitchen 115'
of the above apartment contained aich h1g1 explosive. Accordingly,'until'.
February 26, 1935, at which time the bottles presumably containing nitro ,
glycerine were removed from the apartment, a thorough search of the cupboard
in which the same had been secreted hadnot been made. As the Bureau wasin-_ _*_'-5.1
fanned, by letter under date_of February 88, 1935, subsequent to a conversation??-
had by special Agent in Charge R. B. Nathan with Iilr. Term on February 26,1935,
Assistant United States Attorney Randall Wilson was contacted and suggested 1: Q
he knew of no way by which a release required by the Hercules Powder 0ompany,j
before proceeding with the destruction cf the nitro glycerine, could_be_eIscuteds
by any Federal agency. The assistance of the above Powder Company was enlisted?
to effect an extermination of the high explosive, and they, in turn, had signified
their desire to have a release executed in order that any injury resulting in a
premature explision of same would not be held to their account. Hbwever¢§5l=w;
subsequently, through contact with sheriff Thomas Bash, at Kansas City, arrange-
ments were made whereby this release was signed by Deputy Sheriff John Kelly,
of Mr. Bach's office, and on the afternoon of 2-26-35 the bottles presumably
containing nitro glycerine were removed from the apartment and taken to the
magazine of the Hercules Powder Company, near Kansas City, Kissouri, and there
exploded by use of dynamite caps and fuses under the direction of the Explosive
Expert of that company, L21-. Peacock. Special Agent H. E. Andersen, of this

1935, a hirglary had ocmrred in her establishment, during which approximately - .
40 safety deposit boxes, including number 130, had been entered by boring out '
the lock, and all contents removed. This woman had no information or descrip-
tion of the person renting the box, advising that herledger which contained _
information of this character, had also been stolen during the burglary;
Through inquiry at the Parsons, Kansas Police Department, Agent Vandover_
detemined that it was the Opi_nlOn of that Departnmt that this robbery was a -
local job. This office will be advised of any information or interest developedby the Parsons Police in this n1atter., V __; 1,; _ ;a1y=-__ f-,,.;_ J ', ._ _, _ __~, , _ ,- Q___4.__- __ . .,_ >... _ _ .,, a.,_.,~_ - .- .' * - - 1 ' ' - -I * -/.~ ..-I'-- .,..-.
