Wellsville, Ohio, who advised Mr. Milligan that they are ready and will- Rd_ _ ing to turn Richetti over to the Government at any time the Government i 92 wants to take him; that Mr. Milligan is very anxious to get Richetti back in Kansas City, his principal interest apparently being to have i him there while the present Grand Jury is in session in order to get .-;i=; f". some sort of a statement out of him for the Gran Jury; that the Grand ="-: :'-':'Jury will expire on Saturday but he may be able to get an order of the court to keep it going beyond that time; that Prosecuting Attorney Lafferty says he speaks for the Sheriff at Lisbon and himself and they .; are willing to turn Richetti over to the Government. I asked Hr. Nathan if he was the man who was fighting the extradition proceedings before or was the Attorney General of the State fighting them. Mr. Fl Nathan said as he understands it, Lafferty was fighting them for the I Highway Patrol; that Richetti had an attorney employed for him by his I relatives. 'i Mr. Nathan again stated that Milligan is very anxious to get Richetti back to Missouri and wanted to know if the Marshal from Cleveland should go down and take him or if the Division should go after him. I told,him if the Marshal takes him there will be a great deal of red tape ,1 about removal proceedings, etc., but on the other hand there was no reason why I also the told Division him that should I thought spend money it wouldgéibarrassing to ng him across to the Divisi UnitedStates.to iii refuse to take Richetti in view of the attitude of the United Ststgg%°iEe7 =§§ which Mr. Nathan agreed.

These two guns were .45 caliber automatic pistols, one of them being marked United States property and bearing Serial No. l800l. It -4- is possibly a stolen army gun.

Be at- tended public school at Sellisaw, Oklahoma, where he was known as "chock". :3? '.92.4~ The oil fields near sallisaw brought in tough characters. That country had 3- * - -.'.- .2;I - been the hone of Belle Stcrr, hatt Kimes, and George Hines, notorious outlaws. The Kizes brothers were in the limelight. Iretty Boy married Ruby Hardgraves, a Sallisas farmer's daughter,when he was eighteen years old. He worked in the Kansas wheat fields fo a short time, than in the Sallisaw oil fields, and in septenber, 1925, he heeded for st. Louis, Missouri, and his career of crime. 1 1 yretty Boy pleaded guilty in st. Louis to the Kroger pay roll robbery com- mitted on segtemrer ll, 1925. On December l8, 1925, he entered the lissouri state Penitentiary as No. 29078, and was released Harsh 7, 1929. That robbery was a bold daylight holdup, but crude. Floyd and Fred G. Hilderbrand were arrested in sallisaw with the loot in their possession. Joe Hlevaty of St. Louis had driven the car dur- ing this stick-up. . on March 9, l929, Floyd appeared in Kansas City, Missouri. Detectives 7 learned of his presence and searched his room, where they found revolvers. They de- tained hi: and his coxgenion, gedv Lovett, convicted robber, for a fea_deys. Through Lovett, Floyd met ire. "Iother"! ish, Kansas City patron of hoodlums, and her clan. Kc becane enaxored of Eeulah Baird, a zezbsr of the hsh household.

In the sunrner of l929, Floyd received ward his father had died, and he re- tzmned to sallisaw. 1"-fis father had been killed in a fight with a neighbor, J'i1nI.Iills. Floyd went gunning when Llills was acquitted, but Kills had left and never returned. Pretty Boy returned to Kansas city end met James Bradley, nmch his senior, and an arc- perienced crock and fugitive, wanted for two bani»: robberies in Buckner, Missouri, of Liay 4, l923. They went to 1,l*:ron, Ohio, and were joined by Jack Atkins, bank robber from Toledo, Ohio, and Marie LIEIWBII. During the next few months, -e series of rob- beries in central Ohio 11*;-'stified the police. In March, 1950, Harlan I. Manes, Akron, Ohio,traffic officer, was killed in a running gun fight. Floyd, Bradley, Atkins, and Iiarie 1.:exwell were arrested. Bradley was convicted of the murder and electrocuted 3-_t1':ins was sentenced to life. The woman was not prosecuted. The authorities could not pin any part of that crime on Floyd. However, he was convicted at Toledo of rob ~ r-wt . bin; a bank at 5;-'lvania, Ohio, and sentenced under the name oi Charles Ijitchell to serve fifteen years. On May 15, l950, when being taken to prison by s Deputy sheriff, - s 11-loyd dived out a train window and escaped. 7 3. l3:¥T'§.i'-:1 .h'Back in Toledo, Pretty Boy joined "Bill-the Kil1er" Lliller, the baby-faced gunman.

The officers .'~'_';.- .,,._ ,_ .7 started checking and the two couples left, showing up in shawnee, Oklahoma. on March 9, 1951, Floyd and Liiller held up the bank at krlsborc, Oklahoma, and escaped with $5,000.00. _-'_ raid in Kansas City followed, and the officers missed them by ten min- utes. _a_nother raid was made for them less than a block from Licther ,',sh's home. some- _ . _:,r_ one had squealed.

Rose was captured. rloyd escaped in the car he had waiting. ;alliher's clothes contained sir bullet holes. On ipril 18, 1931, Floyd got in a taxi in Toledo and held a pistol against the driver, Robert Robinson. They drove into the country, whre Floyd took the chauffeur's cashand car. The automobile was found abandoned near Monroe, Kichigan. on ppril 19, 1951, cletus Dushare, taxi driver, Monroe, l chigsn, was the victim of the same circumstances and the same bandit. Floyd then faded out for a while. In July, 1931, prohibition agents and police in Kansas_city, llssouri, con- .3-'1'-.1ducted a raid at 1039 Independencetyenue for the sole purpose of seizing liquor and »_-._.-H,bootleggers.

The stranger leaped for a bed and drewa third automatic from beneath e pillow. shots rang out and Burks fell, wounded. As the killer's faceappeared in a streak of ,¢p light, giant Tho;pson shouted,"It's Floyd."The bandit ran through the door, knock- ing the agents downas he ran. Patrolman Clarence Reidypoured shots at Floyd, who returned the fire. Reid; fell, shot through the neck. Floyd ran into the hall, where e number of prohibition agents and.police fired at him. He leaped at them, J8 firing as he came. E. C. Anderson, anotherprohibition agent, stood at the top of the stairs. He and.Floyd fired together. Anderson collapsed, shot in the abdomen.

The officers openedfire and could seetheir bullets beat dust from Lretty Boy'sclothes. The killer returned the fire, wheeled his rnchine around with one hand, and sped away.

Twenty minutes later, the saze trio robbed the castle state Bank, castle, oklahoa, of $2,000.00 and sped away, forcing bank ezployees and customers to ride the running boards as hostages. _ . ;.,_- 1 on January 15, 1932, the governor of Oklahoma called a stete wide meeting of the sheriffs to consolidate plans for catching Floyd. while the sheriffs were in session, Pretty Boy staged an act of defiance. He drove into Uewoka, Oklahoma, and Bt0Q;6d at a hotel. He entered and rounded up the enployees, including the proprie- tor, and told than he was Charley Floyd; sat on a table, talked to them, drank a bottle of whiskey, and displayed his bullet-proof vest, than dove away. A picked posse, formed at the governor's request, searched throughout Eastern Oklahoma. Jhile J I the officers were searching, three men entered the state Bank, Dover, Oklahoma, and 1 robbed it in true Floyd style. The cashier, 5. L.
