MR. GIBEIIS, residence 1435 lest 35rd Btreet, Minneapolis, llinnesota,
upon interview stated that the next meeting oi'_the union was on Drch 15th and
agreed to make inquiry at the meeting to detennine whether any of the members V
recalled making or painting two Bhell signs during the months of Iemsry and y
Iebruary, 1934. On 8-16-34, ER. GIBBONB celled the Bt. Paul office and advised
that he did make such inquiry at the meeting but all were certain that they
had not made or painted any Shell signe- 1 ' . . 5 r" I '_ 92K
One of the original Shell signs was exhibited to a sign writer and
he advised that the character of the work would indicate that the same was done
by a sign printer rather than an amateur. L
I. 1'. BENNETI, a representative of the Twin City Sign dc Pictorial
Painters, residence 3209 Logan Avenue North, Iinneepolis, Minnesota, telephone
Hyland 8608, advised that practically all of the sign printers in st. Paul
and Minneapolis belong to the above union which consists of about 2.20 members
and that each meeting is usually attended by at least 80 or 90 members; that
the next meeting or the union is ilcrch 26th and IR. BE1mEI i'iinvited one of the
agents to be present at the meeting and he would request information as to who
painted the above mentioned Shell signs. HR. EENIIE1"1 explained that s sigh
painter in addition to being able to recognize instantly his own work, would
be able to identity readily printing or several other painters whose work he
might have come in contact with.
IR. EENN"£.'I'I advised that an agent would probably be present at the
next meeting with the original Shell signs,in accordance with his suggestion.

DeCourcy Lloyd, Acting Postmaster, Glencoe, Illinois, and ,
Harry Schroeder, clerk, Glencoe Post Office, were interviewed. They advised
that Glencoe is a town of six thousand inhabitants. No stationary siren is
located in the town and it is impossible to hear any siren of s surrounding ,
town. The only sirens that are heard are those on ambulances and tire trucks.
The population or Glencoe consists largely of Chicago business men who com-
mute to Chicago daily. They are business men of considerable wealth and a
large number of the homes in Glencoe have a value in excess of seventy
thousand dollars. No factories are situated in the vicinity of Glencoe and
it is impossible to hear the whistles of factories of other towns orvillages.
The Chicago and Korthwestern Steam Railway and the Chicago Northshore Electric
Railway pass through Glencoe.- These trains are used to a large extent by
cmuters. Very little switching is done in Glencoe. There are seven churcheg
in Glencoe. The Lutheran Church and the Union Church are the only churches
equipped with bells. Church bells are rung on Sundays only. -No church bells
can be heard on Saturday evenings. Practically all homes in Glencoe are
occupied by only one family. There are practically no houses, the basements
of which are suitable for living quarters. Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Schroeder ad-
vised that no suspicious characters have been seen in Glencoe during the
past few months nor has a large dark colored Buick Sedan been observed. The
writer was advised that about the only locality in Glencoe which might possibly
have homes answering the description of the hideout as furnished by Bremer is
a section in which many Italians reside. The mail carrier in the locality in
question is Walter Menne. ' - * -~ '
Walter Menne, Carrier No. 8, Glencoe, Illinois, Post Office,
was interviewed, at which time a description of the house sought was given
to him. He was unable to provide any information pertinent to this inquiry
and further advised that he has not observed any strangers in the locality
in which he delivers mail.
' John Kronn, later Meter Reader, Glencoe, Illinois, residencek,
address 667 Bluff Street, Glencoe, Illinois! upon interview advised that he I V
reads the water meters in all residences located in Glencoe; that there is -
only one home in Glencoe, the basement of which is used for living quarters;
that the man and wife who live in said basement have resided there for the
past two or three years; that they bear a good reputation; that the basement
in question is almost level with the street and that it is necessary to descend
only two steps to gain entrance thereto. The description which he provided of
this place tipes not correspond with the description provided by Bremer. The
writer drove by the home in question.

D. S. Crooks, Postmaster, Kenilworth, Illinois, was inter-
viewed, at his home located at 609 Cumnor Road, Ksnilyorth, Illinois. He
advised that the village of Kenilworth has a population of 2501 people,
A stationary siren is not located in Kenilworth, Illinois and the only -
sirens that are ever heard are those on passing ambulances and fire trucks.
There are no factories in the vicinity and it is impossible to hear whistles
of factories located elsewhere. The population of Kenilsorth consists
largely of Chicago business men who commute to their offices from Kenilworth.
The homes are rather spacious and are of considerable value. There are no
apartment buildings in Kenilworth and Mr. Crooks stated that within his
knowledge there are no residence buildings in Konilworth that possess base-
ments which might be used for living quarters. There are two churches in
Kenilworth, namely, the Episcopal and the Holy Comforter Church. The bells
of said churches are rung on Sundays only and are never rung on Saturday
afternoons or evenings unless there is a funeral. The Eilwaukee Division
of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway passes through Kenilworth. The
Chicago Northshore Electric Railway also passes through the village. There
is practically no switching whatever in the vicinity of Kenilsorth, and it
is estimated that approximately one car a week may he the subject of switch-
ing. About two or three planes fly over Kenilworth each week at the present
time. Er. Crooks stated that there are zoning ordinances in Kenilvorth pro-
hibiting twofamily homes. He further stated that there are no stores in
Kenilworth that sell wallpaper. Consequently, no investigation relative
thereto could be conducted. V
I. C. Yackel, Superintendent of Police, Kenilworth, Illinois,
upon interview advised that there are no homes in the locality which have '
basements which are suitable for living quarters. Mr. Yackel advised that
there have been no strangers in the village of Kenilworth during the past
several months. Zoning ordinances prohibit people from living in basements
in Kenilworth and the village authorities immediately secure s court order
restraining individuals from residing in a basement whenever an attept is
made to do so. The last water meter reading in Kenilworth Ias in December,
1933, and the next reading will be March 31, 1934. Mr. Yackel and Mr. Crooks
are well acquainted with the various homes in the village and in view of the
information provided by these individuals, the water meter reader was not92
contacted. , a

near Horthfield. 0n some occasions when the wind is favorable, it is possible
to hear the siren of a neighboring village which sounds at noon. It is also
possible to hear s greenhouse whistle at 6:00 L. M., noon and 4:30 P.'H.
There are no churches in Northfield and no church bells can be heard at any
time. The Chicago and Northwestern Railway passes near Northfield. Very

the siren on the truck only was used. No siren was used when answering .
the remaining two calls. Occasionally the siren or Glenview which sounds -
at noon each day can be heard. Mr. Zibble stated that there are no factories
in the vicinity and that the only whistle that can be heard is that of the '
Nelson Brothers Laundry. This is a very taint noise resembling the discharge
of steam and can be heard only a few doors away. Ir. Zibble is well acquaint-
ed with all homes in the city, he stated, having lived in Iilmstte for twenty
years. According to nr. Zibble, there are only two basements used for living
quarters in Wilmette. Said basements are almost level with the street and

when interviewed stated that there is no stationary siren in Yinnetka; that
there are no factories in the locality and that factory whistles are never
heard. On January 28, 1934 a fire was reported at :00 P. H. after the I
fire had been extinguished. The tire truck did not respond to the call and
the siren on the tire truck did not sound. The report was apparently made ,,
for insurance purposes. Chief Houren advised that while a considerable
amount of damage was done by the fire, the owner of the home extinguished
the blaze before notifying the fire department. The hsnes in Iinnetka are
owned by individuals of considerable wealth. According to mm. Houren, the
basements of the bones in Iinnetka are not built in such a manner that they

V The following investigation was conducted by special agent
G. J. Gross on March 16, 1934, at the following towns: - ' _
Hobart, Indiana -
East Gary, Indiana
Highland, Indiana
AT HOBART, INDIANA
Interview was had with Frank H. Traeger, Police Officer,
who advised that he had written Inspector Rorer, regarding a circular ,
letter he had received, as he thought Hobart, Indiana fit the circumstances
set forth therein. Iith reference to a siren, he stated Hobart has a siren
owned by the town, which is blown only in case of fire, but_that he thought
due to the fact that the Hobart siren blew four times on Sunday, January 28
1954, it might possibly be the place sought; further, that the siren is
never blown at any time other than in case of fire. He stated further thatthe person he suspecte of being implicated in the instant case was one _Geldo Caprio, known as§"Dago Joe", a former bootlegger of this oommnity,'
giving as his reason that he had always believed Caprio to have been in-
volved with hoodlums. Traeger had no other reason tor this belief. The .
photographs of subjects and those suspected in this case were shown to
Traeger, but he could not identify any or them as being known to hhn or
as ever having seen them before. 'e
In company with Traeger, agent observed several houses
which Traeger suspected of being the hideout but it was obvious in each
instance that same had no bearing on this case as all elements were missing

structed in such a way that it is necessary to descend several steps down

tit the description. He said that it was a large frame house withqalf
living quarters in the basement, a kitchen range, toilet am besides '
there were two dogs attached to these premises. The Iostmaster advised
that these premises are what is known as the John Fecher place, John T
Fecher died some few years ago, and the place is nor in the hands of
some relatives who inherited it. tr. Niebergell added that this place
w:_ld be the only one which would come near answering the description*

storeroom and general storage room. These walls are rough cement and~
not even painted, although the cement walls of the kitchen are painted.
Three dogs appoache: and barked at agent and M. Niebergal on arrival
at this house. Approach to the rear is had by a driveway only on one
side. A gravel road lies in front, and about a quarter of a mile away
is a main line railroad, and a main vehicular highway. No children ,_
seen to be about these premises or in the immediate neighborhood, and
there is no school in_the vicinity to which children would ge'by e

haaty departure fran hat Dubnque and rumor ind it that the Department
of Iuetice operetivea were searching for "Red" McLaughlin and "Jew .

some diepoaition was made of then. ' a ' J ,
Bannon waa aaked what information 'Heinie' Jensen of
Bast Duhuque night have in his poseeeeion which would throw any light
upon the ihatant case. Be advisea that Janeen, who resides at 1598
Alta Place, East Dubuque, as eleo e liquor runner in that district
and consequently waa well acquainted with all the racketeering enter-
priaes that have taken place in that region. Ho further etated that
Ieneon ie hoetile to Fred Luzier because of aome argument they had,
and that he might divulge information concerning Luzier which would
in tum connect up with the present ease. He lays no foundation for - - -
the fact that Luzier might have been involved in the present case other
than the fact that he was a companion of criminals in that locality.
He further advieed that of Rufus Brown

Be further advised that one I. I. Iulgrew, who did stay
with George Baker at Rccheeter, Minnesota night be a source of in-
formation. Baker, according to the report of reference, ie now in-

to" their cut in the proceeds from the sale of the liquor. ne two A, _ ,_
policemen; after stopping the car, were about to arrest both lulgrew ». --
.,gand "Gabby" when llulgrew drew his revolver and shot both of the .
police officers. Bannon is not certain whether or not the officers o l
died but did know they were seriously wounded. Bennon states that if
the party known as "0abby' could be located and the above information _
were disclosed to him that he would probably be willing to talk. _ .
Bannon further stated that llulgrew's wife now has in her
possession a book in which are listed all the names and addresses of
prominent recketeers in that part of the country, and that if this book
were obtained it would be a great source of information to the Division,
especially with regard to criminals operating in Iisconsin, linnesota
and Iowa. "0ebby' is now reported to be living at Rochester. ,,._ . .= . . . y
Bannon also related the following information: that Bheriff
Jack Ihrlere,
Martin
information, and he further advised
that Raider night now be willing to talk in view of the fact that hie
eon is now in the same trouble for which Bannon is being held in jail.
I
Bannon talked in detail with regard to the possibility of
Jew Eddy" and "Red" McLaughlin being involved in the instant case. .
He he'ses~hisi senelusions on the fact that Red and "Eddie" were _
well acquainted in Rochester and St. Paul, and he further theorizee
that inasmuch as Victim Bremsr was released at Rochester that the hide-
out for the gang may have been some place near Dnbuque, Iowa. He
admits that he has no basic infonnation upon which to hase the above
theory other than his own suppositions.
Bannon was questioned with regard to the information con-
tained in reference report that Jew Eddie had told him, Bannon, that
he had connections and friends in St. Paul which would make it possible
for him to cculnit such a kidnaping. Banhon states that Jew Eddie .-
had told him about his connections in St. Paul, but he does not re- =
nsnher whether or not "Jew Eddie ever stated that he intended to pull
off a kidnaping. g. _ - V

Ellie displayed a picture of one Hadley, alias Karpie to O. H. Abbott,

-on liaroh 10, 1934, while in telephonic conversation with '8herifi'_De'an Rogers
of Topeka, Kansas, Agent was advised that a South Dakota 1954 License Dag, _

he suspected the car on which the license was used might be driven by the
rife of Alvin Karpis, namely, Dorothy Slsymam He had not secured details as
to the make of the car, or the place in ibpeka vhere the same was seen. His ~
belief that the car might be suspicious was based on the fact that there had
been a bank robbery at Sioux Falls, South Dakota, s day or so before, I-arch
16th. A telegram was, therefore, dispatched to the St. Paul office with the
request that the license tag be checked to determine the identity of the owner,

Agents Lish Ihiteon and O. O. Dewey, dated february 22, 1954 and March 17, 1934,
respectively, relative to one Bernie Shelton at Davenport, Iota. _ i5 }
, __ ,. ~
The Sheriff of Davenport, Scott County, Iowa, told this Agent that a negro
named John xiester, aliae Oscar Jackson, who was recently returned to the
Illinois State Penitentiary at Joliet from Rock Island County, Illinois, had
told him that on December 10, l933 one Bernie Shelton, a gambler and alleged
trafficker in narcotics and enjoying a generally bed reputation in Illinois and
Minnesota, had registered at the Blackhaek Hotel, Davenport, Iowa, under an
alias, probably that of Jenkins, and had sent the negro, Xiester, alias Jackson,
down to meet a train coming in from St. Paul to get two women, who were supposed
to be coming down from st. Paul on that train. Kiaster got the women and took
them to Shelton'e room. Shelton at this time eas said by the sheriff's inform-
ant to have strong connections inthe Twin Cities in Einnesota, and one at that
time attempting to negotiate the purchase or lease of a tract of land in or
near the City of Davenport, Iowa.
The Bleckhawk Hotel angle on thistip was not investigated by this Agent, be-
cause df sudden recall to Kansas City, but the sheriff will be able and Iilling
to cooperate with this Division in attempting to locate the individual with
whom Shelton was dealing in the matter of the land, and also in checking up
on Shelton'e contacts in Davenport.

Bela tive to the report of sheriff Martin, Davenport, Ion, that he Ind
received word from John Kiester, alias Oscar Jackson, negro, that BEINIE
SF£L'!'CN, Illinois gangster, had stopped at the Blackhevk Hotel on December
10, 1933, I checked the records thoroughly to verify this report, but did
not get much information. SHIZIJION is reported to have been at this Hotel on
December 10, 1953, in Room 4.22, and possibly used the name of Jenkins. _
ihe Eanager of the Hotel, Mr. Lofgren, advised that Room e22 is a $4.00 a
day room, and is not often used. This room was occupied on December 6th for
one night by Le Be lard and wife; again on December 26th for one n_igh_t by
I. D. Keenan and Irank Liulhollande M "
Checking the records under the letter "1', I find that a Le B. Jenkins and
wife were registered in room 805 on December 80th for one night; and that I -~
an He I. Jessen was registered on December 15th in mom 9224 I
All cars from this Hotel are sent to the fellow Cab Garage, and a check here
revealed that a Btuts car was brought in here for storage on the night of
December 8th with 19:: Minnesota license is-av-044. r Shelton is seidtc drive
s Stutz car and this is possibly his. I did not ask the garage for too
much information. I believe it worthwhile to have St. Paul check on this
number for possible future references lhe infomant in this case, John Kieeter,

Upon calling at the office and plant of Rational Belles Hess, Inc», located
et 5401 Independence Aves, I-Zr. Lawrence 8. Gabrini e_as interviewed. tr. '_;
Gebrini is mnager of the Hosieryfand Underwear department. He explained ~
that this concern is strictly a mail order house doing business all over the
United States and also pointed out that 99$ of this bueineel 1| carried on »
by use of the mils and the sales are made to individuals. It was further -
explained to agent that no detailed record as to specific articles purchased ' I
is kept. 1 record is merely made showing name and address of the purchaser '
and the amount of the purchase. mess names are arranged first by cities
and general localities than placed in alphabetical order under this geographical
arrangement. {the files of this company contain, according to Ir. Gabrini, ' ..
about 4,500,000 names of so called current customers, Le. persons who have
made purchases within -the last tIo_year_s. . - 7-_, Y g
Iith regard to the specific style of sock of interest in this case, photograph
of which was displayed by agent, Ir. Gabrini consulted his records of purchases
but could not find or recall this exact sock. A great quantity of similar
socks were purchased during the past two years from the Rockford Kitten and
Hosiery liills. Agent examined five different samples, all of which Iere
different from the one herein involved. ' It is possible; according to this -~~
inforxcant, that the mill bad partially filled an order with this particular
type sock, temporarily being out of a supply of some similar sock which had I -
been ordered. Ibis occasionally happens. Several old catalogues were examined
by Mr. Gabrini and he stated that_no photo er descriptionsof the instant sock
Iould be f0I.lDda ' " * ' ' ' ' '"
In conclusion Er. Gebrini stated that it would be entirely impossible to
trace from his records the data desired as this could only be acacmpliahed by
personally calling upon every person who had made a purchase and ask them v_
what articles had been purchased. He stated that he would gladly cause e
check of the name files for any names that might be submitted provided a city
or tom would be indicated as an addreses ' - "
