the information previously requested of the Federal Laborer
tories concern ing sales by that organization throughout the
United States was for the purpose of developing information
concerning the activities of its representative, Joseph T.

information but that it came to him while he
ton, D. C., during the week prior to January

At any rate he advised that he did receive information wnile
J"in Washington, D. C. that the iniormation requested by for-
mer Special Agent in Charge C. K. Fierstone and Special Agent
L. C. Taylor was for the purpose of checking the activities
of his representative, Joseph T. Miller, and that since the _
information was requested as to sales West of tne Mississippi

LT. Barker assured me that he was not informéE'
of the Bureau's investigation concerning Killer by anyone in
the Department of Justice or the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
tion in either Washington or Pittsburgh. He, however, was
insistent that he could not recall the source of his informer
-s tion at this time. The writer believes he could have furnished
the name of the person who advised him of this fact if he had
cared to.

Mill and was inronned by him that he had owned a l92l model Buick ;
touring car at one time and also a 1925 or 1926 model Fold coach
in 1929 and 1930. Agent observed that instant George Benton did
not resemble Harry Campbell in appearance, and as Benton was very -
eooperative in the matter, agent took his right index fingerprint
and compared it with the fingerprint of Harry Campbell, appearing
in the pocket 1.0. booklet. The print was not identical. Benton
stated that he had lived in Clinchfield for several years and that
he had left there to take his present job as a dotrer in the Hickory

Louis, Missouri on a Dyer Act charge in 1935 and served time continuously-
in Federal penitentisries throughout the country on various charges until
1930 when he received a parole from McNeil Island. He served out his
parole and Has then convicted on a confidence gane charge in Colorado 1
and served almost three years in the Colorado State Penitentiary at 7 .'
Canon Fity, Colorado being released December 24, 1935» He stated that ,-
he was driving a car for the Sheltons from Oklahoma when he was arrested
on the Dyer Lot charge in 1926 and that about four years ago, he drove ~
a liquor truck for Frank Stanfield, Cairo, Illinois who, according to V
&1eed was very powerful in Southern Illinois among the criminal element.
he met Machine G Kelly, Alfred Bates and others. He also met a fomer
Denver broker whos name he refused to disclose who was servin time in
the Penitentiary and who told him that he had placed $8,500.00 of the
Urschel ransom money in a safe deposit box in St, Paul, Minnesatast
the request of BenfLaska, the lawyer. This broker, he stated, is a
young man with grey hair. Snead further stated that he then agreed -
to get this money, as well as Urschel ransom money in a safe deposit _
box belonging to Harry Campbell, which had been left in a Denver Bank,
snd__tD-ll1.it over to Federal authcr ities. His broker friend said that___
if this were done he would testify for the Government against Laskao
Their reason for doing this was to get revenge on Laska who is very- __
pOIB1f9211 among gangsters in Denver and who had been responsible for a
number of his friends being sent to the death house. Sieed further
stated that he wants to break up the gang of Machine Gun Kelly who
has put him and his friends "on the spot" time after time and who has
beaten him and punished him physical]; on numerous occasions» He .
stated that if the government did not wipe out the gangsters controlled
by Laska, he intended to get out someday and get them himself. Laske,
he said, had made the boast that he could send anyone in the State of ' ,
Colorado to the gas chamber at twenty-five cents a head. me broker,
who is-still in the penitentiary, has been afraid to disclose the locatio_n
of the money for ffear of Laska, according to Sxeede ' *t' . ~ "" 'ill-%stated that wrile in the Colorado State Penitm tiery,

stated he went to Denver where he actually gained entrance to the safe
deposit box containing the ransom money; that money belonging to his
friend was also contained in this box and he took four or five hundred
dollars in currency, in accordance with the offer of his friend in the
penitentiary. He could not state how much ransom money was in the bot
but believes it to be the remainder of the tmrecovered money aside from

. From Denver, Sieed went to Siawnee, Oklahoma arriwing_ '
on Ianuary 1, 1936. He then went to Fisk, Missouri to visit Irene/iiiaqes the halt sister oi a fellow convict at the Colorado Penitentiary
4?.with whom he had been corresponding. He stayed at Fisk from January" "

safe deposit box in the St. Paul Bank and saw the money but left it -
there. In connection with the bank, Snead stated that the bankers "
are crooked and that they admitted him to the safe deposit box. On .
January 9, 1936 he proceeded to Lansing, liichig and thence to Flint, I jMichigan where he stayed with his brother Luthe@!5usch, 239 Jefferson 6
St., who uses the name of the people who adopts both brothers when - .3 .
their parents died. According to Snead, Luther Busch holds a very re- r> .-
sponsible position in Flint, lives a respectable lite and has e wife ' -
and two children. He stayed in Flint until Isnuary 2'7, 1936 working - A _ 1

Thomas H. Rob inson, Jr. and others wanted by the Government and that he isable to gije information which will lead to their apprehension; that he is
familiar with the hide-outs in St. Louis, Ghicsgo, St. Paul, Flint and . .
Denver and he can gain entrance for e Bureau agent who will pose as s- , --
gangster and go with him as his friend. In connection with the se hide-outs,
Snead stated that in St. Paul the criminals frequent St. Peters St. and that
this district covers as much as fifteen bloc s; that the doorman at one oi
the principal places on this street is name Sweeney and has an unusiel 1<
O
memory for faces; that s Mexican named Joe, range is hired at this same 1 3
place to protect it from outsiders; that i Flint, llichigan one of the Q
largest hide-outs in the country is located under the Capitol Theatre.
In connection with Campbell, Snead stated that he talked
to him while he was in St. Paul in January, 1936 and that the latter would

for the Weyerhaeuser Xidnaping and that he received a share of the Urschel -L ,3
Kidnaping money. &1eed advised that he had talked to Karpis since his . -
release in September, 1935 but would not seyvhere and that Karpis would 4
kill himself, before being taken into custody and for this purpose, Karpiw ~ -
carried a wrist watch in which was contained cyanide. ' -- . _~ V - Vi ., *

In connection with Robinson, Sieed stated that he, Sneed,
was in West Plains, Missouri not long ego; that he cams to West Plai ns to get
some money from Robinson but found him gone, and that Robinson is hanging w -'
around a woman in St. Paul, who so far has refused to have anything to do C
with him, Sneed. Sneed stated that he has not seen Touhy or Doyle for three
or four years but that he knows some of their associates through whom their
location could be ascertained. V _ V ' -
' In this connection, it should be noted that Roger Touhy has
been in custody since 1933 and Tomxnr Touhy was apprehended some time ego.
V Sneed stated that he would not give information as to the
identities of the persons and places he had mentioned until he could talk
to someone who had authority directly from Washington who could accompany .
him to the hide-outs and banks mentioned and who could assure him that his ' Y
friend in the Colorado State Penitentiary would not be involved in charges
arising out of his possession of the ransom money end who could further
guarantee that all Federal charges would be made at one time against h"im,_
Sneed. He said that his reason for wanting to supply this information was
to wipe out his pest record and make it possible for him to earn an honest '4
living after he was free again; that as long as his enemies, as well es
gangster friends are free, he will not be able to do this and further that
he wants to see certain ones who have done all they could to harm him, put "
out of the way. ~ 4 i 7 '
' Sneed further stated that he had met former $peciel Agent in
Charge Melvin Purvis at Chicage, Illinois and had considered giving ine A - V
formation to him but was afraid to at that time because he had told V.
Harry Campbell that he knew where the money was kept and that the information4
would be traced to him. » pl _, '- - . __"

. On February 18, 1936 Snead was again interviewed by A- r
Special Agent Redmond and Special Agent R. L. Nelle, Little Rock, trkansas,
at Corning, Arkansas. He stated that in 1933 hegwas sentenced to from -
five to ten years in the Colorado State Penitentiary at Canon City, _ .
Colorado on a confidence game charge and served approximately thirty-one
months being released December 24, 1955. During this time he became very
well acquainted with an inmate of the Penitentiary by the name of Robert.92iCompton, who had been sentenced about 1930 for handling stolen bonds and
who escaped in 1931 or 1932. Compton was apprehended and returned to the
Penitentiary approximately nine months after his escape. This man was
formerly a broker in Denver, Colorado, his number in the Penitentiary
being in the thirteen thousands, and Snead described him as being about
thirty-seven years of age, height - 5 feet ll; weight - 160; hair - grey.
¬ompton informed Snead that he had dealt in stolen bonds and "hot" P <
money for Ben Laska, Machine Gun Kelly, Bates and others and that he had
some of this money inbonds contained in safe deposit boxes in Denver
and St. Paul. After being released from the Penitentiary on Dec ber 24,1936, Snead proceeded to Denver, Colorado where he contacted A1-tZEaylor -
as instructed by Compton. He stayed with t Taylor over Christ a and 'together with Taylor, contacted "Blind .Toe_?Penelli who is said to be
wanted by the authorities. , ' 1

tity*o1'_money and bonds. Sozm of the bonds, according to Panelli, came from
the mail robbery in l925 known as the Wlyandotte Robbery committed by the "
Shelton Gang in Chicago, Illinois. ieed stated that he believes Panelli
said he gained entrance by obta ning a key from the wife or paramour ofCompton who goes by the name ofzlielsnn, first name unknown. '1his entry

and zeed were the only ones who entered the vault and examined the con-
tents of the box. zeed advi ssd that he had been requested by Compton
to go to the box in Denver to determine if the money and securities were
still there. He stated he found a large amount of money in the box as
well as the securities. 0n the previous occasion, Bmed informed Agent
Redmondthat he had talcm $500.00 from this safe deposit box which Compton
had promised him. When interviewed on the latter date, ned advised that
he had hft the money and securities intact and had received $500.00 from

- V Upon being interrogated further, Snead stated Compton -'2 I"?
still maintains offices in Denver but would not admit that he knew the
Nelson woman's first name or the names of any of the associates of Compton
in business. He further stated he did not know where they maintained »._
their offices and advised that the principal business of Company and .. 1-
his associates is the handling of "hot" securities and that Compton -
has more or less of aninternational reputation. V _ -"V 5 f _-
P saeea said he proceeded from Denver to st. Paul because I
Compton had told him that he had placed $8,500.00 belonging to Ben Leaks,
Denver attorney, which had come from the Urschel Kidnaping case, in a
safe deposit box in a bank at St. Paul at Laska's request; that Compton
had informed him he was afraid he might become involved in the kidnaping v
case if he did not dispose of the money; that Compton stated he was afraid
of Laska who knew him under another name and did not know he was an in- - 2
mate of the Colorado Penitentiary; that Conptonlwented him to get the Q '
money and turn it over to one of Lasloa's attorneys so as to take sus-
picion-A off of him, further that Compton told him he could gain entrance
to this safe deposit box in St, Paul by contacting Harry Campbell who
could be located in St. Paula Snead stated that Compton had told him
Harry Campbell was being sought in connection with a kidnaping case
and that Campbell had dealt with him while he was in the brokerage bus-,
mess. A . ' ' 4 _ .

Snead stated that while enroute to St. Paul, he stopped
over at Shawnee, Oklahoma where he forged a $230.00 check and than pro-
ceeded to Fisk, Missouri where he stopped for s day or two; that he ar-
rived in St. Paul around the 8th or 9th of January, 1936 and went im-
mediately to Ap rtment 17, 610 St. Peters Street, Ste Paul, which is oc- 92cupied by Graceflielson, a ldrs.J 1ompson and a girl named/Tiny. He ' »
stated that he received knowle gs as to the location of these three girls
through underworld sources which he could not recall. He made himself '
known to Grace Nelson by describing her brother, also an inmate of _ _[
the Colorado State Penitentiary, stating he did not know at the time that
Grace Nelson had a brother in the Penitentiary. Ihile in St. Paul Snead
stayed at this address for a period of several days. The first o -,_-
evening he was introduced to the sweetheart of Tiny who is known as 1~"ifoZ§ fsugar" and who operates two or three roadhousea in and around St. Paul. -_ They went to the roadhouse owned by "agar" which is situated on the edge

St. Paul and is reached by driving through a park and situated near s
large manufacturing plant; that the roadhouse eats back from the road, "T
is entered in the rear and has a driveway which circles the place. At,_~-
this time he told "&1gar" he wanted to see Harry Campbell -and whileshewas there he met Blackiejm-ms whom he knew in Leavenworth Penitentiary
and who was formerly ass ciated with the Berger gang in Southern Illiv
aoie. It should be noted that during the month of July, l954 Blackie o __ _
Arms was sentenced to ten years in a Federal Penitentiary in the Southern
District of Illinois on a charge of assaulting a Prohibition Agent. n
"Su'§;ar" took him to various spots in and around St. Paul but they were
unableto locate Campbell, The next morning which was on or about Jen-'
uary 9, 1936, Campbell came to the apartment at 610 St. Peters St, '
He stated it was the first time he had ever seen Campbell and described ~
him as follows: - _
_ Age - approximately 32 »
Height - 5 feet _lO
Weight - 165 e P . y
Hair - brow; or hhck
Complexion - medium fair
» Build-medillls" ~- " -' "~
At this point, a photograph of Harry Campbell was ex-'
hibited to Smed and he failed to identify this photograph as being that of
the person he had seen. A conversation with the person alleged to have i
been Campbell, which lasted until about 2:00 o'clock that afternoon, dies »
closed that the money belonging to Ben Laska had been placed in a bank +..-_
in St*.?aul in a safe deposit box and while the banker did not know it "ass kid-
nap money at the time it was deposited, he has since learned the character of '
the contents of the box but is afraid to dispose of it. Ehis banker is known
to have dealt with underworld characters on numerous occasions according
to Snead. It was the understanding of Snead that Compton had placed this p
money in the bank through Campbell, During the above conversation, the pos- *
eibility was discussed by Snead and Canpbell of securing the money and using it
to blackmail Laska but Campbell advised that it was extremely dangerous to
take this money from its present resting places On the same night, Campbell
appeared at the same apartment on Ste Peters Stt, driving s new LaSalle Sedan,
60 Series, probably dark blue in color, with fenders of s different shade;
that he left the apartment with Canpbell and got into the car where he was _
introduced by Campbell to his friend whom he introduced es Alvin Kerpie. The
description of this man was given by Snead as follows: _ _ - V '»

' At this point, the picture of Karpis was exhibited tor»,
Snead and he identified it after some hesitancy as being that of the_-* .
person seen by him with Campbell. During that night they visited a , -
number of spots in and around St. Paul meeting several of his former ,_ 4
acquaintances he had known in the Penitentiary. Hie next morning, s I =
man cane to the apartment on St. Peters St. who gave the name of Sweeney
and whom he knew as the doorman at one of "Sugar's" roadhouees. This
man he stated is rather small in build and is decidedly Irish in appear-
ance. a
At about 10:00 o'clock that morning, Sweeney took him to -,
a large benkvhich is situated across the street from the bus station in 3
St. Paul in a building which is very old in appearance. Sweeney gained _ Y
entrance to the box and took him into the vault where he showed him e I
package about two and one-half inches thick which he stated was
the ransom money Snead had been asking about. Ea also let Snead take
this money but in the meantime Snead had decided for his own safety, it
would be better to leave it where it pas. Seed stated he left the same
day by bus arriving at Flint, Michigan on January ll, 1956 where he went
to stay with his brother Luther Busch.
____ On January 27, 1936 Snead left Flint, Michigan and went .
to Lansing, N-sichigan where he rented s car from the RentA-Car Companj"1eav-
ing a bad check for $20.00 as deposit. He than drove to Wabash, Indiana
and from Wabash to Kokomo, Indiana arriving at Kokomo on January 8, 1956
where he left the car. On February 7, 1936 he drove with the father
in-law of P. F. Goodrich, whose name he could not recall, in the Goodrich
car to Indianapolis, where the car was stored at the Century Garage. He
returned later in the day and stole this car driving it to Fisk, Missouri.
In ccmpany with Irene Hayes he made two visits to Arkansas in the Goodrich
car, the dates of these visits being February 9, 1936 and February 12, 1936.
On February 10, l936 Snead married Irene Hayes under the name of P. 1". Good-
rich at Piggott, Arkansas. - - 7
In view of the discrepancies in the statements nade by '
Snead, very little credence is placed in the information which he furnished
and the advisability of conducting further investigation in the matter is

to sell the Bureau; that it wod appear to me there are possibly a thousand
people in the State of Oklahoma who are in just as good a position as this
woman to make a contact with the subjects, and would be just as good contacts
to start on as this woman. I told Mr. Brantley that the Bureau cannot
authorize the employment of this woman on a day basis as an informant, but
our propositialto her should be that if she can furnish any definitely tangible
information which will be productive of results, we will compensate her
accordingly.
Mr. Brantley said he would be guided accordingly.
Hr. Brantley said that another angle of this matter has just arisen

homa, telephoned Mr. Brantley and ad _sed that he had just found out that
police at Tulsa had arre t Burrhead Keady last night. Kingman made somecasual inquiries of Earl£Gardner, and Gardner told him confidentially that
he had personally arres ed this man and turned him over to the Post OfficeInspectors there in Tulsa. The indications are that no one was arrested
with Keady. Further inquiries of Earl Gardner revealed that Sam Coker maybe at this time in Florida with Milton*Lett, both of whom were supposedr"-"

won't get any information of value from Keady. Any developments in

secured for him by Quirk. O'Connor was very frank to state that he
thinks a lot of Quirk and would do almost anything for him. He said
that during the latter part of 1934, he lived with Quirk more than half
the-time at an apartme at 25 E. Delaware Place, where Quirk was livinguner the name of D» SfZParkers In this connection he said th only otherperson that he knew to tay in Qnirk's apartment was one "Red"§Evans, who
also worked in Qnirk's handbook. He advised that after moving fr2m_tho _;
gpertment on Delaware Place, Quirk lived in a cottage at 7350 Lake Park;'f
later at the Hotel Croydon, and during Noveber, 1935, when he was , ;
arrested for possession of concealed weapon following e shooting affair
in the tavern Of the Hotel Croydon, was residing in a room at the Hotel
Cass. According to O'Connor, Qpirk's business is bookmaking. 5 -~-. .
At the time O'Connor was arrested he was in company with 4
Leo "Little Sneeze" Friedman, ad he advised that he had become acquainted
with "Little_sneeze" at the 112 E. Superior Street bookie during the time
he was working there; that "Sneeze" frequented this bookie and knew that
he was a cousin of Qnirk. He said_that several days prior to his arrest,
"Little Sneeze" Friedman visited him at the Casino and asked that he , -
accompany him to the office of Attorney Eddie King, 188 W. Randolph Street
to arrange an appeal for Marty qnirk in order that he might be released on
an sopeal bond. He stated his information was that Friedman was calling
.on "hlackie" Dimenza in order to secure some money to pay Attorney King -
in providing Qnirk's appeal. He said further that he knew nothing of
"Little Sneeze" Friedman other than the above. V '
At the time of O'Connor's,arrest he had in his pockets card bearing the following writing - "Dltmiller, Jefferson Hotel,
Peoria, Illinois". As to this card O'Connor claimed that some time
during Novanber, 1935, Marty Qnirk called him up at home and asked that
he telegraph $15.00 to this party, his name and address being furnished
eéii the telephone at the time of the conversation. O'Connor said that
he did not ask any questions as to Miller's identity, and that Quirk ~
did not tell him anything about the man, but that due to his friendship
for Quirk and as Quirk had given him money from time to time in the past,
he felt obligated to the man, and for that reason telegraphed the $15.00
in question fro the Western Union office located at 79th and Halsted
Streetse 1 J ~
' O'Connor insisted that the above story as to wiring
money to D. Miller at Peoria, Illinois, was correct, and that he knew
nothing more concerning the incident» Repeated Bff°PtB '°T9 B559 $0
obtain information from him concerning the identity of Killer, but his
story could not be shaken. The card bearing the name of Miller and -

The following investigation was conducted by the
writer at the Illinois state Penitentiary, Ioliet Stateville!,tc4 H
Illinois. Bruno Austin was interviewed regarding the statement
made by Dimenza concerning his association with Doc Barker, .
Russell Gibson, Ollie Berg and Alvin Khrpis and frequenting '-; .
Zutkeyts gambling place on Roosevelt R0&ds Austin stated that ~he is well acquainted withfkzuekennan, who operates the gambling :
house bearing his name but which is cmonly known as Zuikey's;
that he has frequented the neighborhood of Roosevelt Road and
Kedzie Avenue for many years. He stated that he was well acquainted
with Philip 'Blackie' Dimenze, Ired Hansen, "Little sneeze" Friedmanand Marty Quirk. He stated that in thgall of 1934 during the
time that he was living at the home of= rtholmey, the present Post-
master at Bensenville, Illinois, he associated with members of the
Barker-Karpie gang; that at that time he was in the company of Doc '
Barker, Russell Gibson, Iillid9Harrieon and Bryanoholton on various
occasions, Be provided information concerning the activities of
these individuals, which information has been set out in a separate
report that has no bearing on instant investigation, Austin stated "
that Bnssell Gibson likewise wee well acquainted with persons * -
frequenting zuikey's place and individuals hanging about this i ~ ~

Because of the confidential nature of a statement made _
by Dimenza, Austin's statement was not questioned. He apparently~- f
was telling the truth when he stated that Khrpis, to his knowledge,
was not acquainted with Zuckerman who operates the above gambling r
place and did not frequent his establishments . i _. _
Austin stated further that to his knowledge Martin Quirk
and "Little Sneeze" Friedman were not acquainted with Alvin.Karpil
and he expressed his doubt that there was any connectionlaetween
Karpis and these two men. <
AT PEORIAI ILLINOIS
With Special Agent D. Sq Hostetter, the following in-
vestigation was conducted: »_ .
. Gs G. Kbppang, auditor of the Jefferson otel was inter»viewed. He obtained the registration card of John¬DeStlfan0 and Ls
Freedman, indicating that these two men registered at the Jefferson
Hotel at 2:00 A.M. on February 13, 1956 from St. Louis, Missouris
They were given Suite 720 consisting of a bedroom and a living
room and paid $5.00 cash in advances They stayed only one night
and checked out that evening. Mrs. Turpin, cashier, was shown
photographs of Dimenza, Hansen, "Little sneeze" Friedman, Karpis
and Campbell, and she stated that she recalled Dimenza having been
atethe hotel for a night or two in the past two weeks. She 1ikewisQ.,
stated that she felt certain she had seen Hansen and "Little Sneeze"
Friedman at the hotel some time during the past few months. She '
was unable to identify the remaining photographs. Q
In a further effort to determine the truth of the state-
ments made by Dimenza concerning the proposed robber? °f the Illinois
Power & Light Company office, the following investigation was cone I
ducted: A --
It was ascertained that the office of the Illinois Power & '
Light company is located at 542 south Adams Street, Peoria, Illinois.
The above address is at the intersection of south Adams Street and
Walnut street and exactly answers the description as provided by

stated that he and other members of the gang withwhich he associated
intended to rob the office of the above company,- A_ ,A r f,f,
Special Agent Hostetter, who is resident Agent at Peoria,
stated that C. A. "Red" Mellon is a notorious character in Peoria .
and undoubtedly would harbor anyone if there was sufficient moneys
in it for him. He stated that Mellon operates the Elmo Tavern at q
210 Hamilton Street and that Mellon's name has been mentioned on _
several occasions invarious hi-jacking cases presently under in» '
vestigation by the Bureau, n V
Carrier Fediger of the Peoria Post Office, who handles
mail delivered to the 210 Hamilton Street address, was interviewed.
He stated that Mal on operates the Saint Elmo Tavern at the above .address with JemesiCarrigen. The above tavern is licensed in the
name of carrigan who apparently is acting only as a "stray man"
for Mellon. R tiger stated that Mellon lives with a prostitute __named Margaretiganpbell who operated in a house of prostitution
over the above saloon where she and Mellon resided up to January ;
21, 1936; that Mellon and this woman moved and left a forwarding _w
address to 516% North Adams Street, Peoria, Illinois. This
address is identical with the address given by Dimsnza as being
Mal1on's home. From the reference report of Special Agent Medals
it is noted on Pa e 7 that a telephone call was made from theapartment of Iohnfssmpson, 425 Clemons street, Madison, Wisconsin
on July 24, 1935, to telephone number 6913 at Peoria, Illinois -
anBspoke with a party named IQhn$One Johnson is an alias used Q»
by Sapsono The telephone 6913 is a telephone listed to Margaret
Campbell who was residing at that time with Mellon at 210 Hamilton
Street. This telephone has recently been changed to their new
address at 516% North Adams Street» It likewise should be noted
that in the reference report of Specix Agent Meln ire, 1nf0r0mation is set out therein that sveiyrvhampson, we Wqstphel, and _
John Sampson, man and wife, were residing at Ma 92 eason's hone _
in Aurora, Illinois on the night that Davis visited Gleason'l V
home after his escape at Yorkville, Illinois» "_ , _h__ p
Reference is likewise made to the reference report of.
Lgent madala which indicates that Davis was undoubtedly residing
at 126 East Wilson Street, Madison, Wisconsin on or about May 23,
was under the name of c. 1..°ror<1an. Davie apparently eneased
with Sampson and Graham in the robbery of a Jewelry °t°T8 at .
Madison, Wisconsin on may 25, 1935 for which robbery Sampson was _
later arrested and sentenced to the Wisconsin State Penitentiary.
In this connection the connection of Sampson with Fhllon BB5 °th°T

In connection with the address 516% North Adams Street,
carrier Fe Es West, who delivers the mail to this address, has
stated that Mellon and Margaret Campbell have been residing there
since January 21, l956; that the CamPbell waman is engaged in
prostitution at this address; that the neighborhood in the vicinity
of Mallon's home is disreputable and that he knew of no one living
in close vicinity to Mallon's hone who could be trusted. He J, a"__
stated that the houses at 516 and 518 North Adams street, which Q-;'h
houses are located on either side of Mallon's hams, were houses of
prostitution; e e 1 A , :

. Both carrier West and Rediger were shown photographs of -»~
Alvin Karpis, Cambell, Dimenza, Friedman and Hansen and they failed r
to recognize any of theme - _ - . _ - - ~ '
Carrier West further stated that he had not noticed anyone -
of a suspicious nature about the Mellon home nor had he seen any p p *
evidence of anyone hiding out at this hOH8Be '
Through Assistant Superintendent of Mails Earl Jefferies,
a thirty-day mail cover was placed on all first class mail delivered -
to Mal1on's residence, 516% North Adams Street, and to his saloon at'l
210 North Hamilton Street, -¢< w - _ x
With Agent Hostetter an inspection was made of the vicinity
of 516% North Adams street for the purpose of locating a point where
a surveillance might be made of this address in case it is deemed
necessary in the future. It was noted that this is e section of
the city occupied principally by prostitutes and shady characters,
The only available places for possible surveillance are a small '
house at 514 North Adams Street and a laundry shop at about 520 North
Adams street and an armory located directly across the street from
the Iillon hC!'!lOe Except for the armory the remaining two places "1"
apparently ere not sufficiently close to Mallon's hams to be effective
in any surveillance. _ A .
The Saint Elmo Tavern, 210 Hamilton street, is located on
the edge of the red light district of Peoria. The customers at this
tavern, according to Agent Hostetter, consist almost exclusively
of criminals and derelictso Any attempt to keep this place under
surveillance by frequenting the tavern would probably arouse 8u8p1¢10ne
.- . Inasmuch as Dimenza ma noiinformation indicating that - e
Ksrpis was personally frequenting Mal1on's tavern or home, and -
inasmuch as any effort to make a direct surveillance of these places
would prove ineffective, it was deemed advisable to locate some » p
individual sufficiently close to Mallon or his wife vho would be _
able to visit Mallon's home and tavern and obtain ell available ins
formation which Mellon might have concerning Karpis without arousing
suspicion.

In this connection, as mentioned above, Mal1on's name has
been frequently mentioned as a possible principal or contact for
hi-jacking gangs operating in and about Peoria, Illinois during -~,
the past year. During this thme special Agent Has etter has beenin almost constant contact with Detective Sergeantfxamins, who is-~
in charge of the Auto Squad, Peoria Police Department. Kamins has
previously provided valuable information concerning uallon and '7
his associates and is one of the few Peoria Police Officers who T
has proven himself honest and trustworthy. He has filed an _ _
application for a position as Special Agent with the Bureau and is
greatly desirous of being appointed. For the above reasons it was
deemed advisable to contact Detective Sergeant Kamins for the -
purpose of securing the services of some person who might be able *
to obtain information concerning Mallon's possible connection with
Karpis. ' . _
Detective Sergeant Khmins was interviewed by Special
Agent Hostetter and the writer. He stated that he was personally
acquainted with Mallon; that he considered that Mallon was S
probably the most logical person in Peoria who would be contacted
by a fugitive. It was his opinion that Mellon would probably
hide anyone out for money. Detective Ehmins stated he had no
information that Karpis or Campbell had been in the vicinity of
Peoria. '
During the course of thisconversation both Detective ""
Kamins and Agent Hostetter recalled that Harold Brown, a constable
at Havana, Illinois had previously provided infonnation concerning
thg_cgnnections of Mellon with other no orious characters living _at Pee is and Havana, Illinois. Haroli§Brown is a cousin of - 1GeraldBrown who resides at Havana, I1 nois, a town located
approximately forty miles from Peoria. Brown is reported to
control the slot machines in this town and is considered a
notorious character.
In connection with Brown it might be mentioned that,
as set out in the reference report of Agent Mclntire, Mat Gleason,
after hi arrest,stated that Gerald Brown was a close acquaintanceof Coreyihales; that he thought it possible that Volney Davis _
might vi it Gerald Brown at Havana, Illinois. At that time the
St. Louis office maintained a surveillance of Gerald Brown's
tavern at Havana, Illinois. Thereafter an investigation in that
town resulted in the information that Harold Brown was the onli
law enforcement official at Havana who could be relied upon to
give any information concerning Gerald Brown and other notorious <
characters visiting this town. At that time Harold Brown was

other known criminal associates of Brown's, Thereafter on at "'_-
least two occasions Herold Brown telephonically communicated with
the St. Louis office and provided information which he deemed was
important in locating Volney Davis. Herold Brown has been contacted
on various occasions by Agent Hostetter since that time and he has
Eontinued to provide infonnation concerning these individuals,
Detective Sergeant Kamins stated that he would not make
any independent investigation on his own initiative concerning '
Mellon and would be willing to aid in anyway possible to further
investigation to be conducted at Peoria, I111DOl8e
éELEé!EEei_lLEl§Ql§ ' . .
On February 18, 1936 Harold Brown, Constable at Havana, '
was interviewed by Special Agent Hostetter and the writer. He
stated that he had obtained no information indicating that Alvin
Kerpis or Harry Campbell were visiting or had any connections at
Peoria or Havana, Illinois; that through his cousin Gerald Brown
and other acquaintances of Brown's he had.met Red Mellon on three
or four occasions and had visited his saloon at 210 Heni_ton Street.He stated that he occasionally visits Peoria with Iimmiezhyers
and that it is not unusual for them to visit varies taverns in '
Peoria and that he believes he could visit both Mallon's tavern e
adEis residence without arousing suspicion. In this connection -1
it may be noted that James Myers was formerly a partner of Jack
Xlutas in the 0 eration of stills at Peoria and vicinity; Brownstated that Iackisummers, another member or this gang who was born
and raised at Cu a, Illinois, is presently residing at Havana.
Summers formerly associated with Fred9Goetz at Springfield, Illinois
before Goetz came to Chicago. Brown stated that Myers has a heme
on the old Canton-Peoria road. He described this house as being
the second house out of Canton s one drives towards Peoria. Harry
Hunter, an elderly man and Fredfihompson, who were likewise mentioned
as members of the same gang, er likewise residing at Havana, Illinois.
. ' Previous investigation in this case and in ?2e various
hi-jacking cases presently under investigation, Frank raener, who
operates the lOl Tavern in Peoria end the 101 Ranch located about A
five miles south of Peoria on Fermington Road, is considered as
being s person sufficiently close to this gang and sufficiently
disreputable to harbor any fugitives.

that at the first opportunity, and probably within two or three T .
days following the interview had with him, he would make it a =[* '
point to go to Peoria, Illinois and contact James Myers and make a
discreet inquiry by frequenting Mallon's saloon and residence to .g~
obtain any information that might be available indicating that '" :
Karpis or Campbell are frequenting this town. Brown was advised .
of the rewards outstanding for both Karpis and Campbell_and he ~ ' _
