Re: E;hibits_in Bremer Case
/k/g I am attaching the "true copy" certification prepared
by the Department for the transmittal of certain criminal
records forwarded to me at St. Paul with the Director's
letter of December 30, 1935.
This certificate was not required at St. Paul, but
I would like to point out that the do rent purports torepresentia true copy of the originaéigriminal record -of ArthurJBarker, whereas, in fact, 92 records of Barker,
Villia Harrison, Harry5Camppell, Alvincka nis, VolneyoDavis, Ge3rgéZeigler, Byr0uJBolton, Elmerslarmer and
Harold V{ Allderton, are attached. ,
It occurs to me that here should e some way of
checking the accuracy o Q6? tmen certifications of
this character, as otherwis some em arrassment could
follow the preparation of certificate in this manner.

kept under a twenty-four hour surveillance by Agents of the Bureau,
/ ,k!Q5 I Franklin Apartments in Los Angeles, California, where he is eing _
92' was started on January 6, 1936, at which time Fitzgerald was accom-panied by Imogene92Robertson, Catherinekiackard and the latter's sister,Charlotteiielkirk. The Los Angeles Of 'ce will maintain a constant
surveillan e during the course of the trip. You will recall that
/ previous indications observed by the Los Angeles Office disclose
1that Fitzgerald is interested in an oil deal in New Mexico, and he
apparently is proceeding to that section of the country to consummate
certain plans he might have in this connection. The Bureau has been
advised of all of the movements of the Fitzgerald party and to date
-nothing of any suspicious character has been noted. The developments
to date in connection with the surveillance of the Fitzgerald apartmentwhere he is residing under the name of J. Ck@%mter discloses that
Fitzgerald is spending a considerable portion of his time consorting
with Imogene Robertson, his girl friend, who is a former telephone
' operator and was employed at 1036 South Menlo Avenue, where Fitzgerald
Egéi92 preyibusly resided. You will recall that former Special Agent abarge
Dunn resided at this apartment. Imogene Robertson represents herself
to be Fitzgerald's secretary. They are constantly together and have
joint bank accounts. Fitzgerald has apparently represented to people
that he is wealthy and is spending his time in California at the insti-
gation of his wife who lives in the East and who is furnishing him with
money. It is reported that Fitzgerald is receiving currency notes in
denominations ranging from $500 to $1,000 by letters from Minneapolis,
Minnesota. Previous correspondence observed in the apartnent of Fitz-
gerald which was checked by Agents of the Los Angeles Office indicated
that Fitzgerald is apparently interested in the development of an oil
well_in Carlsbad, New Mexico. Inasmuch as the members of the Fitzgerald
party are drinking heavily, the Agents covering the journey have been
instructed to take Fitzgerald into custody if he should become involvedR!

John Karpavicz departed for St. Paul, linnesota, on
. Ianuary 9, 1936, where he apparently intends to follow the trial ,
ht that point. He was covered en route by Agents of the Chicago .,, ,
Office who maintained a constant surveillance. Other than the ' "- ,
wrecking of his car near Hauston, Wisconsin, the journey was un- -
eventful. He arrived in St. Paul on January ll, 1936, and his move- Qments are under observation at St. Paul. In connection with the i
developments in the Chicago district, the plants being maintained 92
Weaverhave produced no results to date. You will recall that !
llance at under survei inasmuch as the 6_ 1;k;_ and
Cassiuq Hconald and William '

at St. Paul, Hinnesota,J hate has definitely established the fact that Sawyer and Weaver par-
ticipated in the instant case and as a result of the evidence so
far introduced it is established that subsequent transactions and
their connection with the disposition of the ransom money would
affirmtheir participation in this matter. Judge Gunnar H. Nordhye
is presiding over this trial. Attorneys Eugene O'Sullivan, of Omaha,
Nebraska, and L. L. Drill and Robert V. Rensch, of St. Paul, Hinnesota, '
are representing Sawyer. Jerome Hoffman, of St. Paul, has been re-
tained by Ieaver, while Cassius McDonald is being represented by Everett
Jennings, of Chicago, Illinois. From present indications it appears I
that the Government will complete its presentation of the case at the
close of the week ending January 18, 1936.:
With reference to the investigation being conducted at
-====. _Cleveland and Ashtabula, Ohio, the Bureau is in receipt of a letter--
from Hr. E. J. Connelley who was at Cleveland, Ohio, and at that point
conducted a survey of the general conditions existing there. A general
outline of the work was planned and will be pursued to a logical con-
clusion by the Cleveland Office in efforts to locate Campbell and
Karpis. It is the opinion of r. Connelley that the interview with
Hilton

advise Campbell that he had been interviewed; however, two

definitely determined whether Campbell is contacting this person.A telephone tap on the home of Williamxfergus, who is an intermediary

Penitentiary is interested, the latter being a tough hoodlum and a 1
long established friend particularly of Patton and appearing beyond Q
a doubt to be a contact man for Heberbrandt and Patton in their
underworld operations.
As to the activity being carried on at Ashtabula,_0hio,in an effort to learn something of the activities of Murray%Fook
who operates the Swallows Club at that place, a check of al fur-
nished houses or apartments_which are rented there is being made with
the view in mind of locatin§jCampbell and Karpis should they have
Established themselves in the 'cinity. You mill recall that Fitz-
gerald previously made a long distance telephone call to Hurray Cook
at the Swallows Club.
There has also been received by the Bureau a proposed plan
of trial in the case at St. Paul which gives the names of the wit-
nesses and a skeleton outline of the procedure to be pursued at this
trial 0

Re: BREED
Dear Sir:
Reference ie made to Bureau letter dated December 19, 1936
requesting that a summary of the information contained in the
files of the Indianapolis Office eith regard to Iilliem Elmer,
Iliad be compiled and submitted to all interested field offices.,.92' 92 »
Please be advised that the files in the Indianapolis Office
B have been reviewed and same fail to disclose that this office has
ever conducted an investigation concerning Iilliam Elmer llead,
with the exception that informtion was obtained concerning his
possible whereabouts which required investigative attention in
thgjerritory covered by the Hes Orleans Bureau Office, and this
info:-nation is contained in the summary report of Special Agent
L. I. Bowman, New Orleans, Louisiana, dated January 10, 1936, of
which this office has a copy. Therefore, in order to avoid dup-
lication of facts as est forth in Agent BoIman's report, the '
Indianapolis Office does not deem it advisable to prepare a sum-
mary report in this matter.

These rooming-houses were in the immediate vicinity of '
the Hudson Terminal in Newark, New Jersey. _ H
The Pennsylvania Railroad Station was also covered by
Agents. _ s ' l . r
At the above-listed places, inquiry Ias made of the attend-
ants on duty at different hours of the day and night, as to recent.
registrations of guests and as to purchasers of tickets. Photo-
graphs of Alvin Karpis and Harry Campbell were exhibited to each
attendant, and their attention was particularly called to guests
and purchasers of tickets contacted within the past twenty-four
hours. No identification was made and no information of value
obtained, except at the rooming-house located at 20 East Park Street.
__.________ e __ __ Lt that address, the proprietor advised that he believed V
the picture of Alvin Karpis to be that of an individual whom he had "
ordered out of his house during the preceding night. Questioned as
to the circumstances of the eviction, he advised that a roomer at
that address, by the name of Joe, had brought a young man to his
room with him without proffering additional payment for the priv-
ilege, and that he had ordered the companion of Joe to leave. On
the following morning January 15, 193s! he had discovered that
this man was still in Joe's room, and he had immediately evicted
them. He further advised that Joe's companion bore a strilclng re-
semblance to the photograph of Alvin Karpis, and although he could
not definitely state that it was Karpis, he was of the opinion that
it was-. ' ' ' ' . ,

Additional inquiry developed the information that _
Joe's personal possessions were still at the rooming-house '
and that they were being held pending the payment of de-
linquent room rent. A search of this personal property '
resulted in the discovery that the owner was one Joseph
D'Aurio, and that D'Aurio had once worked at the Plaza
Restaurant in Newark, New Jersey. A newspaper clipping was
discovered, which had originally been a part of the "Mad-
ison, Wisconsin, News", containing the information that
D'Aurio had been arrested there and had been held for the
police of Denver, Colorado, who had previously issued a
Wanted" notice for him. The clipping also contained the
information that D'Aurio had stated that he had already
served a sentence of eighteen months for the offense for .
which he had been wanted by the Denver Police Department
and was, therefore, no longer wanted. An address book and
other papers found in D'Anrio's effects led to the infer-
ence that D'Aurio had been a prolific traveler and had been
in many cities between New York and Ios Angelee during, the
yeats 195} to 1956. - _V - _ -J
, ____ Arrangements were made with the proprietor of the
rooming-house that, if D'Au.rio called for his personal be- --
longings, he would be instructed to return at 7;00 P. M.,
at which time Agents Griffin and Cornelius would be present
to question him. - . V _
The Plaza Restaurant was located at 90 Park Place,
and inquiry of the manager evoked the information that
D'Aurio had worked as a ldtchen-helper during the first
part of January, 1936, and had quit his job, but hadalbout '
ten days pay due him for his services, and further that
he was expected to call for it sometime that day. Arrange-
ments- were, therefore, nade with the manager and the cashier

that D'Aurio, if he called for his salary, was to be re-W
quested to return at five o'clock that evening, at which
time Agents would be present to question him. A A
, At 14:30, Agents Griffin and Cornelius proceeded
to the Plaza Restaurant and seated themselves near the ,-
cashier's desk, where D'Aurio was to appear. As it was 1
thought possible that the individual identified as Karpis
would be with D'Aurio at the time he called for the money,
Agentssacrn and Graham.were appropriately armed and remained
outside of the exit in the front of the Plaza Restaurant, to
cover proceedings from that vantage point. Agents Lieekins
and Scott were appropriately armed and covered the side
exit from the Plaza Restaurant. Arrangements were made
with the cashier to signal Agents Griffin and Cornelius
at the time D'Aurio approached the desk for his money.
At approximately 5:10 P. M., the pre-arranged
signal was received, and Agents Griffin and Cornelius re-
quested D'Aurio to submit to questioning in connection with
an important setter. At that time, it was noted that an - .
individual bearing a striking facial resemblance to Alvin
Karpis, but appearing to be about six inches shorter, was
lingering in front of the Plaza Restaurant and viewing
proceedings through the window. This individual was pointed
out to Agents Stern andGraha.m, who immediately invited him
into the Bureau automobile, in order that they might ask
him a fewquestions. . *
D'!=.urio was questioned as to his activities, and
explained that he had given up his room at 18 Park Street
and was not living at any particular placeiat that time, _
and that he had arrived at the restaurant alone. V '» .

John Goodman, and will henceforth be referred to by that -
name. ' i ' - i
The individual who was then in custody was questioned
and advised that he was not waiting for anyone and that he had
merely been standing there for lack of am;-thing else to do. "
His fingers were examined, and it was discovered that he was
not identical Iith subject Alvin Karpis. Because of the cir-
cumstances and D'Aurios preyious criminal record, it was thought
advisable to question them further, and they were, therefore, re-
quested to accompany Agents to the Essex House, where they vol-
untarily submitted to further questioning and to having their
ngerprints taken. The same are being forwarded to the Bureau
under separate cover. _ - i
Both were questioned separately and their stories later
compared, at which time it was noted that they checked in every
detail. It "-'-"as determined that John Goodman was the individual
who had been evicted from the rooming-house at 18 Park Street, _ _
.1 an? it is here noted that John Goodman, although bearing a re-
markable facial resemblance to subject Alvin Karpis, does not
answer his description as to other physical characteristics.
Joseph D'Aurio advised that he was arrested in Denver,
Colorado, during the early part of 1951 for a violation of the
Prohibition Act and had been sentenced to eighteen months in
the United States Industrial Reformatory at Chillicothe, Ohio,
- of which he served fourteen months and fourteen days and was Y p
released in August 1932. Very soon thereafter he was arrested
in Ins Angeles for a violation of the Wright Act sold wine to _
a policeman!. For this he was sentenced to ten days in the
Lincoln Heights Jail and served the ibll ten days. In 19314.,
he was arrestedfor burglary in Les Angeles robbery oi a saloon! I
and was sentenced to nine months in the Los Angeles Jail, of which
seven and one-half months were served,

the night before, and that he did not drive the passenger to
Newark, New Jersey, but the New York City Courtlandt Street
Station of the Hudson tubes. Q . - -

I am atta hing hereto a proposed Identification Orderupon William Elmeriiead. You will recall that early in
Bremer case, we desired to locate Head for questioning, butflll
investigation since has disclosed conclusively that he did not
participate in the Bremer case, although he undoubtedly is
acquainted with many of the people figuring in the Bremer case.
Mead, you will recall, was recently released from custody by
the Northampton, Massachusetts Police Department, because of
failure to identify him due to mutilated fingertips. Head is
a fugitive, being actively sought by the Post Office Department,
and I believe that an Identification Order should be issued upon
him, because of the mutilated condition of his fingertips. You
will observe that following his criminal record, this Identifica-
tion Order states that the Order is being issued because of the
mutilated fingerprints of Mead, "in order to facilitate his
identification in the event he is arrested by any law enforcementII
agency .

-'_ The memorandum of Special Agent R. G. Reed, dated Fe'bruary,,_,;
11, 19514, at Kansas City, Missouri, copies of which were forwarded to the? ,_
Bureau and St. Paul offices recites that Martin Wunderlich, Presidentpof
the Martin Wunderlich Company, road contractors, with headquarters at , T
219 East High Street, Jefferson City, Missouri, telephone 21470, home tele- ~,
phone 2661, was interviewed at his office in Jefferson City, Missouri _ _'
on February 10, 193!. and furnished the following information, which is ~ - - '
being set out in this report in detail inasmuch as it appears that same is _
very material to the investigation in the BRELER case. v '
On the evening of March l2, l9§5 he was at his mother's home T
at 530 Desnoyer Street, St. Paul, I-iinnesota, telephone lfidway 3226, when F
a long distance call cane for him, which apparently originated from a pay *"'_
station in Cincinnati, Ohio. Wunderlich did not answer as he was in a hurry
to get to the hospital where his wife was convalescing from childbirth, ~ '~ »
but left word that he could be reached thenext morning at his brokers - -1 .~-
Janes E. Bennett 4: Son, St, Paul, llinnesota. The next day about ll o'clock
he was reached by long distance telephone, while he was at his brokers,
this call also originating apparently from Cincinnati, by a person who iden-
tified himself as Charles Layton, the son-in-law of B. J. Johnson, the latter
being Chief Engineer of the Kentucky State Highway Commission, according to
Layton. lay-ton stated he could get about $2,000,000 worth of unfinished Y. '
roadbuilding in Kentucky from bonding companies who had backed bankrupt road
building firms, but that he was an oil man and Icnav nothing about road =Y
_buildin_g_;,;t_herefore, he wanted to know if Wunderlich would care to go into,
partnership with him whereby Wunderlich could put all of his surplus equipment
to work on a "cost-plus" basis. Tiundcrlich said he was interested and Layton
said he would meet Wunderlich at St. Louis, or if Wunderlich preferred he '
would fly to St. Paul in order to meet Wunderlich. Layton cautioned Wander-
lich not to mention this deal to any of his friends as there were other Y
companies bidding for this work. Layton also told liunderlich that there was V
an investigation going on in Kentucky of the Highway Commission, and that " »
the Chief Engineer would not answer long distance telephone calls and it ' -
would be useless for lfunderlich to call him, but that he, Layton, would '
nuke arrangements for Wunderlich to meet the Chief Engineer, Layton's father-
in-law, whom he generally referred to as the "Old Man". i _ .' _ A s y p _-T 1'
" ' Wunderlich disregarded Iayton's instructions about calling
the Chief Engineer and tried to reach him by long distance. He was un- T
successful in this attempt and the telephone company reported back to him
that the Chief Engineer refused to tall: to anyone by long distance; there-
fore, he felt that Layton was "all right", at least it appeared that Layton
knew what he was 'La1ki_ng about. _
On Ifarch 17, 1955 Tfunderlich received at St. Paul a telegram
from layton saying Layton would call Junderlich that night at 6:50 P.1.I.
Layton did not telephone lTunderlich until liarch 19, 1953 at which time he said
he was calling from Kansas City, Ifissouri; that the reason why he had not

at Ponce City, Oklahoma. Arrangements were then made for Wunderlich to, p. .~
meet Layton at the Statler Hotel in St. Louis on the evening of I-la-rch.23,' " ' V
1953, at which time Wunderlich was to meet "the old_ man" and a Hr. Taylor, T
who was supposedly the "head man" of the Kentucky Bonding Company which
was confronted with the task of finishing the roads started by companies =
which had become bankrupt and which this bonding company had undervrritten.'
This Kentucky Bonding Corpany was reported to be a branch of the Maryland '
Casualty Companyand was referred to as the Kentucky Bonding Company. _
Wunderlich was detained in St. Paul by a trial so that he
was unable to reach St. Louis on the evening of March 25, 1953 nd 15° ? L
midnight stopped at Davenport, Iowa, and called Layton by telephone saying _
he would arrive in St. Louis the next morning. At this time Layton reported -
that "the oldman" had to leave for Washington, D.C., relative to an R.F.C.'
Loan, and that Taylor had departed, thinking the deal had fallen through"._
However, Wunderlich proceeded to St. Louis and met
at the Statler Hotel, where Layton was registered as "Charles Layton . Be.

and Layton discussed the formation of the "Louisville Construction Company . L
Layton told iiunderlich that the bonding company had sent out word that they
would require any company getting this work to have liquid assets of not
less than $150,000. At this time Layton informed Wunderlioh that in selling
his refinery he had received $166,000. in cash, retained stock worth at j
par $150,000. and a mortgage due in two months of $35,000. He also stated '
that he could get, if necessary, about $100,000. from the old man . Iayton
at this time proposed that he, therefore, could and would raise $250,000. __
in cash And felt Wunderlich could raise around $300,000. Wunderlich demurred
at this, thinking his equipment was enough of a contribution, but finally
agreed that if necessary he could raise $200,000. or possibly a little more.
- Thereafter a continuous series of conferences were planned
and scheduled, either for St. Louis at the Hotel Statler, or in South Bend,
Indiana, at the Hotel Oliver, with the object of letting Wunderlich meet » -e
the old mn" and Taylor from the bonding company, but always there was »
some hitch which prevented the "old man" from arriving, or else he had just
been called away a few hours before, always by telegrams from Washington, ;; 2
D.C., which were displayed to Wunderlich and which would contain a message .-
to the effect Johnson was needed at once in Washington for ak hearing on _ _
Kentuckyls application for an R.F.0. loan. _- V " ' - - V!
'- ' After several of these arranged meetings had fallen through,
a final attempt was mde to get all four men together at the Hotel Oliver -
in South Bend. When Layton and mmderlich arrived from St. Louis, Taylor
was present and Tfundcrlich met him, but the "old man" was not present and
Baylor said he was delayed until about five P.1!.
During the time these negotiations were underway, Layton
from time to time jocularly referred to Kentucky as a "horse-racing state
and told Trunderlich of the huge fortunes won by a certain lucky Judge in
Kentucky who became friendly with one of the salesmen of the racingN

words, this Syndicate knew in advance, and in fact gave orders as to what. "

_ During the day while Layton and Wunderlich were waiting for f
the '_old man" to arrive in South Bend, Wunderlich was hard-pressed for 1 ' _
something to do to while away the time. Dinner was eaten in the main dining 5
room of the Oliver Hotel about 2 P.I.I. While Layton and Ihmderlich were
waiting for their food, Layton pointed out a man in the dining room stating
it was the employee of the racing syndicate he had previously mentioned.
In some manner this individual was engaged in conversation and identified ,
himself as "Bill" Farley. He put up a hard luck story of undue publicity
which was about to cost him his job with the syndicate. He invited ;- u _
underlich and Iayton to his room and they, not having anything to dc, ,
accepted the invitation. Wunderlich had a bottle with him, he says, but denied
he drank as Layton did not went him to do so. In Farley's room, Farley dis- "
played several newspaper articles with his picture appearing therein and
stated he was going to use his company's secrets to play the game and win
back the bonus of #100,000. which the syndicate was trying to deprive him
of. He said to do this he would secure the services of another person so _
that a trick would not be suspected. He advised lfunderlich and Iayton that t
if they would bet his money for him, he would divide 7573 and 25%; i.e. he
would give them 25% since he was furnishing the money and all they would '. ~
have to do would be to carry out his orders. ' " - > -

A sum of Ql,500 was given to Layton by Farley to bet on a-3
certain horse that afternoon at 5 to 1. The horse won and Layton brought
back $5,900. Farley gave Layton a pass card to the syndicate gambling rooms 7
in the Hotel Lincoln at South Bend, Indiana. This accounts for the fact that
only one could go at a time. Wunderlich advised they wanted him to take V _» .
the card and place the bet, but as he was timid he declined and let Layton
place the bet. He felt that Layton was about to become his business partner
and he therefore trusted I.ayton.' -5 _ . .. .A - 5 i 1 '_ , _ _. . . . _ 4" _.'_ .,, . _ _ .v - V r _ _92 . _. , 5.. - _ 4__,.¢ _ ._
4 Farley then said he proposed to "clean up that afternoon - 5
before his syndicate caught on. He said he would bet $500,000. on a certain '
horse at 5 to l. He said he could make it I4 or even 5 to l, but if he ' I
did this it would be harder to place the money before the race closed. He 5 1
also said that he could draw checks on his syndicate, "The New York Exchangc,_
Inc. up to $100,000. but any amount over that would require the signature '
of his auditor as well as his own. His auditor, unfortunately, at the time
was in New York City. However, after 'some hesitation he decided to make
an attempt to slip through a $500,000. check sort of a draft for betting
purposes which was drawn on a credit reserve of the New York Exchange, Inc.,
and which was supposed to be honored at all gambling establishments as cash!
and filled it out for this amount with instructions to Layton and Wunderlich
to have it placed on a certain horse at 5 to 1. Again they tried to
get Wunderlich to place the bet but he being timid refused, and Lay'tOn
was pressed into service for this purpose. Later Layton returned saying

About a half hour later Layton returned saying he had demanded one thousand "

that he told the manager of the joint, to call at Farley's room to thrash -

~ That evening the manager, a Mr. Hopper, came up to the room r __

not touch this money but he was within inches of it as it was counted and
asserts he personally saw cash in the amount of $200,000. counted out before
him; that he could see the bills so closely he is positive it was not counter-
, _ feit as he was afraid .of that at the time. As to the remaining $711,700 __
Wunderlich advised he did not personally see this counted. , i '
" Hopper, the manager of the gambling joint, stated he had the
money and did not want them to think his company was trying to renieg; but
that the check on which the bet was nnde probably was worthless as it was '
not properly endorsed; that to protect his company, if $500,000. in cash -~ -
was deposited in the bank the following day and a certified check in that
amount issued to and turned over to his company, then he would release the
said $911,700. cash to them. _ x _ _a 7 _ p _ n
Wunderlich states Farley said he would send out some wires and
he would have the money there the next morning. That evening it was discovered
A that Wunderlich and Layton had delayed so long that the old man" had left
_'_____§lisgus£egi__and had taken with him all but two of the Kentucky roadcontracts. _;_
These were looked over by Wunderlich and he asserts they were regular con;
tracts for road work and bore the signature of the Secretary of State, the
Chief Engineer and other Kentucky officials. He stated that the pages had
been thumbed just like such contracts would be. . 7 - . _

" ' . - The next morning Farley came rushing to him displaying a tele-
gram from New York signed by Aunt someone saying Uncle Bob left last week
for Europe and took his keys to the vault with him. Farley represented that he
._ had been able to raise only $60,000. and that his hope of raising the remainder
had been blasted upon learning his rich Uncle Bob of New York City had gone -
to Europe. Thereafter Wunderlich and Layton fell to discussing the situation, A
and not wishing to lose their share of the $911,700. which was so nearly in
' their grasp began to consider ways and means of getting together $500,000.
Layton suggested that if they raised a considerable portion of that amount
that he and Wunderlich ought to share equally with Farley; i. e. split three
ways. This was put up to Farley and he agreed this would be fair. There-
upon Layton said he could get $66,000; in cash which he had in his safe de-
posit box in Paducah, Kentucky, and sent a wire to his timekeeper to bring
this cash to South Bend the next day. Farley said he would put up $5!-I-.000.
to nuke it an even $100,000. Wunderlich arrived at the conclusion he could
get $200,000. in St. Paul from his banker. The other two scoffed at this
idea, saying that the bankers were "in on" the syndicate and as soon as he,

and Layton and Wunderlich immediately left for St. Paul, Minnesota. Upon
arriving at St. Paul lhmderlich contacted Edward G. Bremer and related to ' l
him he wanted to borrow $200,000. in order to secure certain road contracts -
in Kentucky. Layton was along at the time and met Brenner, and was intro- A s
duced to Bremer as Wunderlich's proposed partner in the new venture. Bremor
agreod to loan Wunderlich the $200,000. and said he had this much on hand
as he needed that much at all times for "beer money". Tlunderlich was unable
to explain just what Bremer meant by this except to suggest that the Bremer 5
family may have needed it in their business. 1 ; 5 _ ', ' A .-

Bremer's private strong box in the American National Bank and got $100,000.
therefrom, and to the private box of Brcmer in the liercknnts National Bank 4
and secured therefrom another $100,000. all in cash money in denominations u
of $500. and $1000., which was then and there handed to Wunderlich. Layton
was present when this took place. Wunderlich and Layton immediately left
St. Paul, after securing this money, for South Bend, Indiana. There the --
$300,000. in cash contributions indicated in a prior paragraph! was given
to Layton who supposedly took it over to the gambling joint in the Lincoln
Hotel. He returned a little later with a "certified" check drawn on the
"New York Exchange, Inc." in the amount of $911,700. Uunderlich at this ;
and Layton said it was because it would take a half hour to get the money
in large denominations. In about half an hour Layton went again supposedly
to the gambling joint and came back shouting that he had sunk it all on a
horse at five to one and that all would be millionaires the same afternoon. A
Farley asked what horse he bet on and when Layton told him said "You fool, -
I could have told you not to bet on that horse". That Farley said he would
go down and try to remove the bet and get the money. In a little while >7
Farley came beck raving rad, saying that "'Layton, the rattle brained blankety
blank has lost all our money and picked up a spittoon and hit Layton so hard
on the head Wunderlich was afraid Farley would kill Layton, and, accordingly,
he stepped in and separated the two. Farley then said he was going to New .
York City to find his auditor so he could get some big money to recoup their
fortunes, and Iayton said he would proceed to Paducah to raise as much money
on the $100,000. in bonds he had there and they both advised ffunderlich to raise
some more money, if possible, and meet them in two days at the Hotel Statler
in Cleveland, That evening Wunderlich placed a long distance call to the
Assistant Engineer of the Kentucky Highway Department, and there secured in-
formation that convin_c-ed him he had been Irulcted of $200,000.
Uunderlich also advised that he told the whole story to Edward

With reference to Bureau letter dated December 11;, l935, to
1-r. E. J. Connelley, Special Agent in Charge,,requesting that Dr. William
Loeser be interviewed at the United States Penitentiary Annex, Leavenworth,
Yansas, Special Agent A. J. Norstrom interviewed Dr. Loeser at the United "
States Penitentiary Annex on January 7, 1936, who advised that William
Elmer Kead, whom he knew as Lane, was virtually a stranger to him, he having
ll gtmpt him_on_two occasions only, and that all pertinent information concerning
this party was previously related in statements furnished by him in the
Dillinger case. _ t - 9
" ~ Dr. Loeser related to Agent Norstrom at that time, however,
that he had learned, subsequent to the trial of Louis Piquett, in conversa-
tions with Arthur O'Leary and Dr. Harold Cassidy, that a very close relation-
ship existed between O'Leary and Head, and that they had implicit confidence
in each other, they having worked together for a number of years in Blue i
Sky promotion schemes. Dr. Loeser related further that neither 0'Leary nor
Cassidy would cooperate in any xmnner in causing the apprehension of Mead,
but he was positive as a result of conversations with O'Leary that he was
well acquainted with I-iead's whereabouts at all times. ~ - , _ - 9
" t Dr. Loeser also informed Agent Norstrom that one "Hub" , -'
lfullins, an attorney, presently officing with Louis Hack, another attorney
in Chicago, Illinois, was closely associated with 0'Leary and would un-
doubtedly have some valuable information in his possession concerning Lfead.
Dr. Loeser stated that he was not in a position at that time
to obtain information concerning lfead, and that although his maximum term
will not expire until Iiay 7, 1957, he expects to be released from the peni-
tcntiary about March lb, 1936, after which he might obtain information rela-
tive to this investigation that may be of some value to the Bureau.

Dear Sir: Re: BREKID
With reference to ther dentiticetion Order shortly to
be issued on WILLIAM ELK LEAD, it is suggested that this
Order be distributed to th better class hotels throughout
the country.
?I Investigation or this person to date has indicated that
_v he frequents the better class hotels almost continuously and
J in view of his unique features, it is thought the chances of
_ his being recognized will be greatly enhanced by this method.td
In this connection, it is also suggested that should
_ the Bureau approve this, the Identification Order might
,1 easily be distributed through hotel protective agencies which
¢92 maintain mailing lists in every section of the country.
3Very truly yours ,

Dear Sir: Re: ALVIN KLHPIS, with aliases, FUGITIVE,I. O. #12l8;ggt a1;
Edward Georg Bremer - Victim
KIDNAPIIIG
Reference is mde to your letter relative to the above entitled
matter, instructing this office to prepare a summary of the information
mead. The files of the Milwaukee nureau Office have been reviewed and!reontained in the files of the Milwaukee Office regarding Iilliam Elmer
_-1all infomation contained therein is set forth in the summary report of
Special Agent R. O. Suran dated at Chicago, Illinois January 6, 1936,
with the exception of the following investigation which was conducted by
the Milwaukee Office.
The report of Special Agent P. M. Plunkett date at Boston,
Massachusetts November 13, 1935 sets out an Undevelo e Lead for the
Milwaukee Office to determine the identity of Gus B. ose, land O'Lakes,Wisconsin, inasmuch as 1"redd_Gondorf, an associate o William Elmer Mead,
had received a letter fran ose on October 20, 1955. The lead in the
report of Agent Plunkett dated November 13, 1935 also requested that
this office interview Rose for the purpose of securing from him a11 in-
fonnation in his possession relative to the whereabouts of Iilliam Elmer
M88-ae
Gus B. Rose was located at LaCrosse, Wisconsin and was inter-
viewed at the Jewelry store of his brother, George s. Rose, 510 Main
Street, LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Gus B. Rose stated that he had known Fred
Gondorf for more than thirty-five years, and that at one time Gondorf had
conducted a tea store at 512 Main Street, LaCrosse, Wisconsin, next door
to the Rose Jewelry Store. According to Rose, he had not seen Gondorf
for many years until 1932, at which time he met him in Chicago, Illinois,
and after that meeting, Gondorf wrote to him in reference to some matter
concerning his wife, who is professed to be_a very religious Catholic.REOORDELW 7/" Ty & I v

Rose further advised that while at Land 0'Iakes, Iisconsin, he wrote to
Gondorf somewhere in Massachusetts, out could not recall the address and
did not know where Gondorf was staying at present. Rose stated that he
knows Condorf is in some kind of a racket, out that Gondorf never spoke
of his business or his associates. Rose further stated that he never
knew anyone by the nae of Mead and when shown the photograph of Iillia
Elmer Mead, advised that he had never seen this individual, and that Gondorf
had never spoken of Mead.
Chief of Police J. Webber of LaCrosse, Wisconsin was interviewed
and stated that he had known Gus s. Rose for many years, out that Rose
left IaCrosse about twenty years ago and has been known to be residing at
Chicago, Illinois. As far as Chief of Police Iebber knows, Rose has been
a reputable citizen and has never been connected with any rackets. Chief
Webber further stated that he also knows Fred Gondorf, who is an inter-
national swindler, and that Gondorf formerly resided and operated a tea
store near Rose's Jewelry Store on Main Street in LaCrosse. He left
LaCrosse about twenty years ago and never returned. Chief Webber further
stated that while Gondorf was residing at LaCrosse, one Bert Scott, who
now resides in the northern part of Chicago, Illinois, and was an eye
doctor, had been in a swindle racket with Gondorf, bt that Scott had
left the racket twenty years ago and is now a very reputable citizen.
Chief Hebber also stated that Scott would probably he able to supply some
information relative to Gondorf and probably Mead.
at ,?____ _._.
Relative to William Elmer Mead, Chief of Police Iebber stated
that this individual was unknown at LaCrosse, Wisconsin. A photograph
of Mead was exhibited to Chief Webbsr, who stated that he was certain
that Mead had never operated in LaCrosse.
In order to avoid repetition of facts that are already set forth
in the summary report of Special Agent R; C. Suran dated at Chicago, Illi-
nois January 6, 1936, no summary report is being prepared by the Milwaukee
Bureau Office in the absence of contrary instructions from the Bureau.
Very truly yours,

Si;-IDLOVICH were responsible for the burglary; gm-. Johnstone_edvised that I
Thomas _Carr was arrested on the charge but was acquitted and a short time, L,
thereafter was sentenced on another charge to the State Penitentiary at '
Lincoln and escaped about twenty years ago and he was never captured. v '
Y when information was received from some source that HARRY .. _
SANDLOVIGH was staying at Benson, a suburb of Omaha, Nebraska, Iohnstone
and Captain John Barrett, of the_Lincoln Police Department, left for Y
and arrested SLIHDLOVICH as he got off a street car and returned him to 1
Lincoln. Mr. Johnstone advised that if his memory served him correct, _ V
he was in court on December 23, 1914, when S;.NDLOVICH was placed on pro-A l '
bation for s period of three years; that SAN'LOVICI-I am not maize statements "
regarding the charge against him, to any of the police officers. Mr.
Johnstone advised that he would have no difficulty whatever in identifying
SASIDLCVICH; that Captain John Barrett left Lincoln about fifteen years ago .-
and went to Wyoming to settle on a homestead, but no one seems to know
near what town he resides and he has not written to any of his old friends
in Lincoln. Mr. Iohnstone doubts very nuch if Barrett wouldbe able to _,
