I stated that thedhicago American had the wrong "scoop" yesterday; that the other Chicago papers quote me as saying that there wssn I t any truth in the article in the Chicago American; and that these papers quote him, Mr. Ladd, as saying he had never heard anything about the matter, and that Bolton had not been questioned about theost, Valentine's Day Massacre. Mr. Ladd advised me that the Chicago papers quoted him as saying that we had no statement, oral or written, from Polton concerning the Massacre case, which was the statement he, Jr. Ladd, had made to the I papers. 92- P I inquired if Bolton had been questioned concerning the Massacre In and LT. Ladd said that he was not questioned directly because they were 92r anx i ous to g et other ~ information from him; that he was only asked if he knew anythipg about it and he replied that he did not, that he had nothing in . to do with it. I remarked that the thing which had been causing me concern for some time was the thought that there might be a "leak" somewhere in the Chicago G ffi oe; that T _ had this morning received some very reliable information, however, that the Chicago American has seven wire tappers who are tapping telephone wires; and that the Chicago nmerican ' had ha d our _ w____ ires tanned_rI_ , I suggested to Mr. Ladd that he check on this angle imnediately throgh some man in the hicago stated that Agent 1.

It ie known definitely that it was announced early the following morning that she would appear before the Grand Jury that morning to testify in that case, as this nae announced to the nozeonwcas by the U.5.Attorney. The article which epneared as to the alleged confession of WILLILK Bhlih BOLIDE and hie connection with the 5t_Valentine Day massacre Febru- ary 14, 1929, wee based entirely upon mie-information, inasmuch as he /_ had made no such statement to anyone, and at the time these articles J appeared Bolton had been taken to St.Pnul and eurrendered for official custody at that place, indicating of course definitely that we previous- ly had had him in custody. The recent articlee appearing in the papers referring to the e?1eged confession furnished by I553 DOYLE to Federal Agents at Kansas City I do not believe had any reference to any infcrma~ tion obtained at Chicago, and judging from the report from the Kansas City office that the aeeociated prO 8 diepetehes there do not ahow n die- natch to St.Pau1, and the explanation offered by the representative of the associated prose at St.Paul that he had received this in an associ- ated prees dispatch from Kanene Uity, this would indicate that the eourde '92 of this infonnation was probably St.Pau1, and while I have no information 92'__ I upon which to been same, it is my belief that possibly Attorneyiiheooureey at that point may be reenoneible for this article which appeared. Previously we have had a very careful check made of the teleohonce at the Chicago office, and the tolenhone comnany has indicated there is no noseibility of a tap on any of our linen here, and also Judging .
