> It may be stated that such information as was given by Mrs. Anderson appears to have been furnished with considerable reluctance, and as it appears that Hrs. - k . -"'- Anderson has settled what disputes she has had with Belle Born, it is possible that she may have made the assertion _._I . relative to Bella's having stated to her son that she knew -=-. 1 Mrs. Anderson was furnishing information to the Government / § as an excuse for avoiding further interviews with Agents of . , '1. , this Bureau. Ihether or not this is so, Hrs. Anderson has #73. been of little value to this office as an informant.
-K- -T. " . I Iith respect to Charles "Chuck" Ihite, heretofore repoted to be the adopted son of Belle Born, Hrs.

Ihen Special Agent in Charge L J .

It re house, particularly with respect to the identity of persons ,,,. W3; visiting her. Previously Belle Born was followed whenever ¥ ».3£- 4 she left her home. This is the "close surveillance" which mm ,_ "3,- has been discontinued. & . ; 4.' 92 ,"L -.

I beg to advise you that a surveillance of the Campbell residence at Tulsa was considered for many months prior to its initiation, and some inquiry was made with the view to placing such surveillance, but no person living in the inmediete vicinity of this residence was considered one in whom we could place sufficient con- fidence to go into their residence, save the widow of J . Earl Smith, a deceased attorney, who is said to have been murdered by Canpbell. Agent Hansen, from time to time, maintained s contact with Mrs. amen, who it appears would have been eager to have furnished any information ,1; } - wk to this Bureau concerning the alleged murder of her husband. Until $3 recently there was not found to be any house available for the use of Bureau Agents in this surveillance. Mrs. Smith and her sister are said to be in Muskogee, and probably Okmulgee, Oklahoma, most of the time. It has not been deemed worth-while to contact them within recent weeks. With respect to the action taken by this office in inter- viewing Milton Lett, I discussed this matter several times with Special Agent Hansen, and the efforts to obtain some information concerning Iett and as to his whereabouts extended over several weeks, as will be reflect- ed in investigative reports emanating from this office in connection with this case, and upon due consideration I concluded that we should go for- ward.with the interview with him, which was done, and at this time I do / J1 1-" -4 92.- v=m"mYED C7 ,L'y - F W _ 92,"p92 ¢,oY1E$D'_ ed _,--.1955-/9292 92 A1.

A majority of the conversations heard .1- upon this tap is in Lithuanian. I feel that the maintenance of this <- , . tap is very desirable at this tine, and of course, the tap necessarily must be maintained by someone with a speaking knowledge of Lithuanian. 1»- 1' If you approve this procedure, I will call Ir.

If this is done, the tap, r will be arranged in such a manner that two head sets will be available . *5 at .

Connelley this morning about this matter, and he agrees that this procedure is probably the Bureau's _W ox 92 best approach to the situation at this time. In addition, Ir. Gon- nelley suggests that if the person employed indicates an aptitude 3 1 for our work, we might endeavor, when the opportunity presents itself and after the termination of the telephone tap, to have him take up 3 a residence in the apartment house where Karpis' father is employed L. e .2 as a janitor, and, without disclosing to the senior Karpavicz that the HE. informant speaks Lithuanian, attempt to work himself into the confidence 4 ~ .....»-.- .-.~ of the family. _ Z -R411,...

Judge Jones of the Criminal Division telephoned me relative to"' the above named person. You iill recall that Ir. Holtzoff telephoned me;th other day requesting that information an data contained in the files of the e Bureau be furnished the Criminal Division so that they might intelligently advise the United States Attorney in Florida as to strengthening the indict- .-- ment which is now pending against Myrtle Eaton in that district. He said n that they have not received this information as yet, so he just wanted to call to advise that he is particularly interested in the reports of Special '1 Agents Meekins, Jacksonville, September 9, 1935, Suran, St. Paul, September 7, and Connelley, Chicago, September 7, 1935. 3'. '. . » Z"'=: .;_ -re»-» 92 I explained to Judge Jones that each of the reports which he has .2. ,_-,1 named contains appro:1_i.:.ate1y a hundred pages, much of which does not per- ¢ 1 5'. -14' tain to the particular thing in which he is interested. To this end, I _ informed him that the Bureau Supervisor handling this matter is at this time making a digest of all the information contained in these and other. reports which pertains to the activities of Myrtle Eaton in this case. ~ I told him that this is quite a job, but as soon as the information is ready, e the same would be immediately furnished to him. dpek 3 92; .14 Respect llly, ~ R" E.

Dearest Elmer: - ' - -1':1 *6», Received your letter a few minutes ago and so as I was waiting to hear from you ..._,_. thought I would answer immediately. I am so sorry you are locked up almost all 0 day. Wish I could do something to help you. I know that sounds silly as it is impossible but I mean it. I told you I was going to school at Fields and I did yesterday and Iiondey, so hope to hear from them within a few days, at least thats what they told me last night. If I do not hear from them I think I will answer some of the "ads" in the paper for housework after all. Why not! I can do it -r for the winter anyway. Nick is just about the sane, but I think he is getting, weaker. The Doctor is .-- going to stop in tonight to see him. He is just as he told you in the letter and he cannot eat anythiq and if he does, he cannot keep it down so thats the way it is. I feel sorry for him too. He looks for your letters every week just as I do, .. _- .,, then afte_r_I read the:-. I toll hir. x-:1-lat is in them that I think he would like to 3 $1 - hear. I ' ' i '52-2n , I do not know what to think about those agents coming to see you. After having I931:4 < you in St. Paul and not being very successful I should think they would leave you alone. After all they have not been so very nice. Sullivan did not even bother to -- - ':§:§:§:;. .1 aelmowledge my letter, so why dent you just refuse to answer their questions and perhaps they will stop annoying you? You really must be a very important witness .;3;3§3;3; . 92 to them or I do not think they would bother with you so much. Really, this will surprise you. Albert went d_ox':_ntownthe 's'.'., to P. A. and applied for a job. You know that is for people who are "92.1'r£E'bleto get Ia 3'55and are willing to work on I~I~I-Ia '4 government projects, you know like the people did who were on relief in Bensenville. I suppose he is hoping he does not get anything. I suppose you were surprised to hear I had to go to school to work at Fields? A lot of Hooey, but quite tiresome. 2323232323»:-232:2 532333533313 I went to school from 9 to 1 and from 1.140 to 5.30 and learned a lot of things but you had to learn so much in such a short time that I am afraid I will forget part of it ii I do not go right to work, so heres hoping I do. I suppose you look just about the sane but honestly honey, it really is terrible for you not to get outside :1.*F:1:1z <$1:1:1:1 E13 3333233"- '3-3oftener. How about Harold? I thought they could not differentiate between you ! I am going, over to Ilartha'shouse after while for supper she always asks for you and tells me to say "hello". Have not heard from anyone in Benscnville so cannot tell you very nuoh about then. Will you like going back to St. Paul if they should send 1 no you? Its toe cold up there for me. - no '£'.'ell,I guess dearest, this is just about all for this time, news is rather scarce. I did give youall thenews SundaywhenI wrote to youso will close andhope you are we I and until.I hear from you which I hope will be soon with lots of love.

Y I -~M A _ I. -eavenworth, Kansas,Nov. 1.6, 1935 , _,J.» Dear Helen: a 1 . ' - "-o Ii I will write my usual Sunday letter. I received three letters fran you last .5 week. So Nick is not any better I em sorry to hear that and hope when he gets to the hospital he will get better soon. So you should be working by now any ':rE way lets hope so. Things are about the same for me down here and from the looks of things in here I dent think they will give me any work, but will transfer "~14-~ me to some other place maybe Alcatraz Island, thats where most of them are sent to from here. so you were out to Bensenville last week thats nice about all the board asking about me and sending these regards, say hello to them_ for ms when you see them agin, also to Lenard Dales. Jaoobsons must have that place fixed -> up quite nice now, and I suppose will do good business any way I hope so, as they didnt do very good where they were at. You also seen Chub and Pete and >- thay were going along in goos shape. Chub is not doing much business out there ~_. new just about getting by and I dent suppose he will until next year. Was there any thin'g in-theold place where I had the tavern, that dont send so good for smoke. did you see J. P. Lynch. Harold is getting along alright and is working _ most of the time. he must have all his teeth out by new I dont get to see him. I was out in the yard one afternoon last week we were cleaning up around it. that was the first time I was out in some time. Its been trying to snow for the last few days but so far very little has fallen it looks dark out side to Q day so it may snow any time now. it dont look very bright for Albert getting any .... work from the Government when thay wont give me any. I am not looking to go hi-4"!-4y . back to St. Paul and hope thay dont send me up there. I sure cant help there case any and will do more good for those on trial they anything. Monte is in 4- .8 ? bad shape up there. he is locked up all the time and is a very sick mn. I cant see what good all this will ever do him. the government will have to send him some place to dc hi: time, thay cant let him go as he is wanted for other things I in Chicago and will be sent there if he ever gets out of this. I am felling fine and getting along good this sure is some rest for me but I wish it would let up soon and I would go to work. I will be going to dinner soon new so will mail this letter on my way over you should get this letter about the same time as last , week. best regards to all. 15.? v =»92-L Elmer Farmer' '+_~-;}.i 92 14- , '5. »- I ; 92 . .

Its now 650, we just finished dinner. Gifford is home as he -92, 0 hasn't any work now, but maybe things will pick up. It's quite cold here today but we had a week of rather warm raining weather and no sun, suppose you read . about the dark days we had here in Chicago. . Am glad you were out working one day and hope you can soon be given something steady. Gifford will surely talk to Reed the first chance he gets, his brother- a- » in-law said he hasn't seen him since he came back from his vacation. nu Chub was over the other day, he is well and sends best regards. He says they _ are going to pave Green Street so that will make it much better, the government ¢-..92is giving the money to be used in relief work. I thought it was paved.

Received your letter last night so will try and get this one out the first p thing in the morning. I see in the paper how dark it was in Chicago one dq Last week. so Gifford business is slow now I hope he gets some place for him ....;' self soon then it will be much better for him. why dont he try and open up Q31 some place in Bensenville that would be a good place now and when they start paving the street there things should be good for some time. so Chub finley r got over to see you he must be a busy man that cant get over to see you often. n_ ¬ do you ever hear Chub say how J. P. Lynch is getting along I often think about him he would be so sick one week and alright the next but I suppose he is going along the same way he always did. I was fun to see him play the horses each day and if he didnt come out alright for the day he would talk about it .:_ until he went hone that night. I suppose he is saving his money now. I dont think Reedgugill be around until after the first of the year than Gifford will see him and he can talk to him. Election is about the onley time you can find him out there norr. Ho is in Washington most of the time but I think he still - £5??? lives in Du Page county. How is things at Elmhurst. Is Wiley doing any thing ' -; >. WeF other than running a tavern on York street. you told me and befor he closed up the place facing the railroad track there in Elmhurst. You had about the same xx kind of weather we had down here. I was onley out to work half day last monday. W its raining here now and as long as we have this kind of weather I dont get out to work so wish it would let up soon. I was in hope they would put me to work i steady but so far havent heard anything and it may be that I will be transfered to some . other place any way thats what I am told by the other man in here they say you are 0 , ... keep in here until they find some other place to sent you to. so if that the case _I;~Ii I hope they find some place soon it would be much better for me if I was working every day. the time would pass much faster. I am getting along fine and in the :;»="7 best of health so thats the main thing. they have some fine apples in the store down here so I bought some last week and eat one each night before I go to bed. 5--4--M; thats about all the fruit you can get in here now. thay have orange most of the time but none of late. best regards to you and Gifford. _... .,, Elmer Farmer 1- .:=' "., ..

You know he was here yesterday to see my uncle, just s. friendly call and he is coming back tomorrow to give him the sacraments. Nick is a lot worse than he was a few days ago. He is in bed all the time now and he does not eat anything at all. You will be very surprised when I tell you his mind wanders a whole lot.

Have those agents been bothering you any more? I received a letter from Mr. Sullivan last Friday in which he said he was glad to hear from me but he could not help me get a pass to see you but referred me to the Warden at Leavenworth and told me to write to him and tell him he had suggested my writing to him and perhaps he would help me. He also thanked me for writing and told me if there was .. a.nything he could do to help me to to write to him again. He received the letter on Oct. 7th and finally got around to replying. . ...~_-.- I am still waiting to hear from Fields so hope to soon. My aunt does not want me to go to work, she wants me to stay home and help her with Nick, but tho I would like to, I need so many things, I want to go to work soon, so I will be able to get He them. last night Martha and Les drove me out to Bensenville to George Boldebueks to get some wine he had of my uncle's so I stopped in to see my mother. Everyone is fine and they all asked for you and said to say "hello". I did not see Jim at v» ~0>- all. Did you read in the paper about four men robbing the "White Pines"? The Club is closed but the caretakers are there and these men forced them to cook for them and then they took e. lot of golf equipment they had stored there and cigarettes an " and before they left they started a fire in the dining room and got away. You know out e.t Jaeobsons in their dining room they have a dance floor that is , 4 very slippery so aw mother was hurrying across the floor and slipped and fell and broke a rib. Not very nice to do, was it? Have not done much of anything this week to tell you about. Stayed home quite a bit since my mole has been so sick. _--,_.._,. __ .. __. n__-71-.__,,_ ._ __ j%"';IU; '_§ "§ IT§§"'92v"__-»:,.-_ _ Q:-, 2-..-_' ;_~1u~ .w~-~;'92 ~--- _v ?I, '-f- -'- ~'* ~-' P * w"' " V » V ~.._In>_n_..-__l_¢{, _ _ r - _ _ @' - i , ~;£ My mother was telling me Gifford had some plans to help you which he thought ' - 92'-Pf looked very promising.

I Just received your very nice letter so thought I would answer it immediately. I 4 an glad you are feeling well, but I do wish you could get out in the yard a little 1 more often than you do, but perhaps they will let you pretty soon. ,1- Honey, they will not transfer you to Alcatraz, you know you thought that over before '92.and I wrote to liclfeekin and he asked Sullivan and he said that they had no intention -» of doing that and it was very unlikely that they would ever do that to you, so please dont worry and if you still feel doubtful when you write next week, tell me if you would like to have me write to Sullivan or Iiclieekin, perhaps both of them will answer more promptly than before. That place you had your tavern in was all dark and as yet no one has rented it. That old Smoke had a lot of nerve talking the way he did out in '-Test Chicago and 1 " E if I ever see him I intend to tell him so, although I dont suppose I ever will, A i as they have not found him. Poor old J. P. was arrested by the G men also Hr. , fl Rapin for bootlegging out in B. I dont know much about it but will give you more e-_. -;_. information in my next letter, as I will try and find out so I can tell you as I § swa- know you will be interested. I am not sorry for Monte and tho it is not very I-'-:1 nice of me to say it, I am glad he is not getting along so very good. I wonder » ..v,_ .~_.. ;~ --"-1'' if they will deduct all the time off for him that he is sitting up there? I hope _! ,- they do not take you up to St. Paul again. I certainly would like to see you and talk to you. It certainly has been a long time since we had a chance to talk. I am still waiting to hear from Fields and you know I became acquainted with a girl if while going to school and she called me up and told me she was still waiting too, it ti so I guess I am not the only one. 1 ;/' mother asked me if I would like to work - ;t 1 Thanksgiving Eve out there at Jacobsons and I think I will for the one night anyway, if I am not working at Fields. Hick is grm n: weaver all the time, I guess I told you all about it in my last rwt. letter. I read part of your letter to him, he is always glad when I do that. Albert is still waiting for a job to come to him. Well, honey, this is about all A ' for this time I guess, not much news to tell you about. liartha wants me to go to the Wallzathan at the Arcadia on the northside tonight, so if I go I will tell you all about it in my next letter to you, so dearest, hope you are still feeling well and until I hear from you will close with lots of love.

Chub will always .3, _,..' =- nit:,_.. tell you about bills as he dont beleave in paying any. I had that to do when q.!._;,y I was thereeso what he is doing with the money new its hard to tell. any way . _ you be sure and get what comming to you. Thanksgiving will soon be here now onley a few days off suppose you arc having turkey for dinner I think we will or "a, have the same down here. also a show that day and I hope they let me out to see it. last year every one went to the show that day and they look for the same - thing this year. It wont be long now befor cold weather sets in but you have all §;;.~;~-:1.»your winter coal in. how is the ford going along these days. it soon will be to _'l§ st. cold to ride very far in it that little car was sure a dandy it held up fine and will run for some time to come yet. Gifford many times made the trip to Bensenville in the snow when I didnt think he ever would make it. I see in the paper where $5 the white pines had closed for the season but some one set the place on fire last -1 week. it didnt say if the club burned down or not, I suppose it did though as A-11'! there is not much water around there to put the fire out. I suppose Chub has all .5-at 1.: ~' his boxes in from the clubs by new except the Lbhack I always left them there in the winter they took care of them and keep what ever they made. they always - tryed to buy the boxes from me but I. never would sell them. they cost me about five hundred and if I sold them would loose the club for the next year and that I was the best paying place I had.

I feel so sorry about Hick and hogs there is some thing can be done that will help him to .- get well. I suppose you and liay have your hands full now, as it takes lots of . - work when some one is sick in the house. I suppose there is friends of his come to see hit: also I didn't hear from tho Priest yet. so he was to see Hick Sunday thats nice of him, Hick was always good to him out there and he dont forget that. those agents have not been back to see me any more and hope they dont. so you . " . -:51 heard from Sullivan last week and he told you to write down here I dent think -=51". that would do any good so just let that go for now. so you are not working yet, '~92- but expect to any day. I am in the same boat down here I was out imo half days ».--T this last 1-_-eel: so things are picking up. we 01118] had two nice days last week the rest of themtime it was raining yesterday and today were both nice days. I suppose 1 you have about the sane kind of weather there as we have down here. I didnt so an;-,'thing in the paper about the l zite pines, but that was sure strange what they did. I dent know anything about anyone doing; anything for me in my case so cant tell you any thing about it. but I know they will when the right time comes but that wont be for some time to come and then I will know about it and let you know right now I arr. sure nothing is beaing done, but I suppose he is making some arrangement for it, but just what they are I dont know and woodnt ask about it I now. I dont thin]: the law I was sent here on will hold up in the higher courts t . I see some thing in the papers about it so if it dent I will be turned out. so I have some hope of that also. I suppose you will have Turkey for Thanksgiven day with lfay I dent know what they will seve down here we get chicken quite often 3 so they might seve Turkey that day any way I hope so as I like that the best. re: they have a good dinner every Sunday and all through the week its fair. give aw regards to Niel: and tell him I thin}: about him often and hope he gets well soon also give my regards to May. :2?» gr.

We didn't haveturkey as that : too much ,:, r for just ourselves, but we had a nice dinner. Gifford isn't feeling very well, he hurt his arm and he hasn't beenable to sleep the last few nights, he was worldng _ 8 » around here putting up the storm sash and I think he strained a muscle in his arm. 92 I thin}: he will be alright in a few days. I'll see Chub soon if he dont come over. I'll sendfor him and tell him what you said. He sold the machines at the Liohank and ;.'hitePines for $300. they told him they are going to have their own. Thate ¢ what he paid the taxes with. 7 Gifford has been over there a couple of times but he is never in. I'mgoing to tell him he will have to give me your share right along. I didn'tlcnmw the White Pines burned down again, thats the second time its burned. Well Elmer we will go out and mail your letter now and you'll receive it Monday. I am enclosing your ten dollars.

I am not working yet so still .». taking life easy. I received a letter from the Classification Committee in here .- ..J1 x t. _ last week saying that my case was up before them Nov. 20, 1955 and thay decided not to maize any change in my case at the present time. so this is about the I5 t 3" third time my case has been before them, so I think if thay were going to place ,.:~ _. me to work they would have done so one of the times my case was before them. ,- now the onley thing they can do is send me to some other place, it may not be v _ Alcatraz anyway I hope not as thay have many other place. lielleekin or Sullivan cant do me any good so dont write to them about it I know thay wont keep me locked .. up like this much longer they soon will do some thing with me. I hope I dont have .b he to go backup-to St. Paul and the way it looks now I dont think I will, but if "Q '1- .3 they get the others in the case that thay are looking for them thay will take me RY. 1. and Harold up there then. I dont think they will do much with Lionte but will keep him some place until they get every one thats in the case and send them to prison then they will let him go. thats about all they can do with him. so J. 0- .j.» P. Lynch and Rapin are not doing so good these days its sure to bad for them as " .. Yvs thay didnt bother any one out there and the little thay did make just about keep " .4 them living. the firemen and biusness men also are getting a pretty raw deal from them, I dont suppose thay can do anything about it, so will have to pay it. I was sorry to hear Iiick is not feeling any better and hope he is soon. its nice of George and his famley to come and see Hick also the others that have come from Bensonville to see him. How is seotty getting along now is he in good standing. you cant send me any candy down here now but I under stand some time during the middle of this month you can send a two pund box of candy to me after Dec 15 and i not later then Dec 51. I am still feeling fine and going along in good shape. . . .v- _.- F ~_ ...-., say Hello to lfay and Ifick for me, thats about all for now. - :.~ :4» ._.=¢ - :_ WY Elmer Farmer J vs-iii "- ;-" .

"rinformant HeleniFerguson, who is presently residing in Toledo, Ohio, I has expressed some concern over her personal safety if she remains I J _¢ in Toledo and she is of the opinion that her residence st Toledo - 4...» was occasioned by suggestion of Bureau Agents, which, of course as 1 ~. is known to you, Helen Ferguson proceeded to Toledo, Ohio to act as ~ -us. n'1 _ _an infonmant at the instance of Bureau Agents. Helen Ferguson I 91' advised that she is without funds to leave Toledo, Ohio and has 5, ~.,.. suggested that she be given the sum of $200.00 or that her Buick 92¢j s-_~ automobile, now in the possession of the Bureau, be retuned to her. n I am of the opinion that it would be desirable for the Bureau to take steps to assist Mrs. Ferguson in leaving Toledo as it 5. is definitely known that the contacts of the Barker-Karpis gang have ii the information that Era. Ferguson is acting as an informant for the Ts Bureau. F - yé oncerningcar referredto by Mrs.theFerguson, is this n the 1933 ick coupe, motor number 2845199, Ihich was last in the possession of Thomas Leonardfcarrolls It was acquired by the Bureau P on April 22, 1934 at the Little Bohemia Lodge, Eanitowish, Wisconsin. A court order was entered at Chicago, Illinois on August 7, 1934 and the above described automobile was turned over to the Chicago office of this Bureau for official use. ' cl WhenHelen Ferguson was first interviewed atthe Chicago Bureau office she furnished the information that she purchased the C Buick car from the Bergle Chevrolet Company, Cicero, Illinois, on or about June l0, 1933; that the car was taken by her to the place operatedLouisl ernocky by ForRiver Grove, in Illinois whenshe, V Mrs. Ferguson, le ned that this Bureau had made inquiries concern- __9 he car.

In view or the above the Bureau'sadvice is requested ki as to the desirability of returning this Buick car to Helen i§%"J": Ferguson and this procedure is recommended by me. Inasmuch as - I this car was turned over to the Bureau by court order it appears that it will be necessary for a court order to be entered before the car can be returned to rs. Ferguson, and because of the r J1 fact that Helen Ferguson has co-operated with the Bureau it is iwj believed that it would be desirable to request the United States Attorney at Chicago to file the necessary petition on behalf of tr .;;i;-Li' S Hie.

I pointed out to Ir.

I further M 92 pointed out to him that the tap should be installed in such a manner that there should be two headphones in use, in order that an Agent could check 92... on the interpreter. With reference to compensation for such a person, I told Mr. Ladd that we would, of course, pay any reasonable compensatin- Ti llr. Ladd said that he has been thinking about this, and had -_ :.'~' - ~ intended to talk to Hr.
