Hr. Hoover said he had communicated this information to Col. I Schwartzhopf who is commanding the State Police; it is not known whether I Gow girl in Lindbergh hone is the sane one, but the information from Chicago is that Scotty Cow has been a member of the Purple Gang for a long time E and his sister is about 28 years of age; 5' 4%" in height; weighs 120 pound medium complexion and her occupation is that of a private nurse and it kind of fits in to the picture of the girl at the Lindbergh home. This informa- tion given to us by a man named Art:ur1Candler, who is working in Chicago at cresent, but at one time was employed as an investigator by the Henry Ford i Ibtor Company at Detroit working under a man by the name of Harry'Bennett Er. Reinecke said he knew him and that he was Chief of Police ofy he Ford Company - and Hr. Hoover asked hr. Reinecketo find out about Candler from Bennett if he could, we want to handle this matter very confidentially, don't give out any information on it but we want to get a line as to who Candlerfh and his make-up. Candler claims he was fired by the Ford Company because he obtained some information about the Ford Conpany and was also a friend of I Gow and about 1% years ago when he was in Detroit he went to see Goa to I endeavor to recover some property which had been in the possession of Gow which had been stolen from the commissary of the Highland Park Ford Company r plant and either the Purple Gang had done it or Candler had been mixed up . M in it, it is not very clear; while in Cow's house Betty Got came in and he t saw her, that is where he got her description. F ir. Hoover said he would like to get a line on Scotty Cow, who he is and ~ 92 anything about him you can find out; also anything you can find out about ; Candler. Mr. Hoover said the only associates of Scotty Gow known to i I Candler was a man by the name ofagitzpatrick, whose father is Captain in 1 the Palmer Park Police - Hr. Beinecke said probably Palmer Park Police 1 K 1 1 Precinct and a man named girpo who is also a Detroit policeman. Er. Hoover . said it might be a wild sort of lead. The N. J.

Find out all you can about Scotty Cow and anything on the Sister and ask Bennett, if he is reliable, to find out shat he knows about Candler. i ir.Reinecke said that lest summer he made the acquaintance of a pretty good i informant in toe underworld who is pretty well acquainted with the Purple *§a 1 Gang and inquired if he should take him into his confidence, that is so far * as to question him about Scotty Gow.

Mr. Candler was interviewed by Special Agent 3. P. Guinane, and he furnished the following information: Mr. Candler related that up to about one aig one-halt years ago he was employed as an investigator for the ord Motor Company in Detroit, Michigan, with offices at the Highland Park Plant, working under the direction or Mr. Harry Bennett; that he noticed in the newspaper accounts of the kidnapping of Charles Lindbergh, Ir. that the name of the nurse for the Lindbergh baby was Betty Cow. He stated that he recognized this name immediately as being the same name of a party involved in a case which he had handled at Detroit, Michigan,_whi1e employed by the Ford Motor Company. In this connection, he stated that approximately one and one-halt years ago, he had traced some merchandise which 3.-.: nu92-.5.-.-. u_.92:ru § bU,LULl .-.a-A1.-...

Mr. Candler stated that Scotty Gow was s member or the £amcu-~.arp1§_$eng which terrorized Detroit several years, and that he thought there might be a possibility that Betty Cow, sister of Sootty Gow, is the nurse for the Lindbergh baby, and if so, there is some possibility that scotty Gow and some of his associates might have some connection with the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby. Q . Mr. Candler stated that his connections with the Ford Motor Company were severed about one and one-halt years ago, be- cause he had secured some important information involving some high > officials of the Ford Company, and that he "knew too much" and his services were therefore discontinued. ' 4. e92 Mr. Candler stated that he had Just made connections with 92 the Mickelberry Food Products Company, and that he was to leave in the next day or so one selling trip into Northern Michigan. Mr. Candler stated that he did not believe that Scotty Cow was prosecuted for stealing the merchandise in the case which he in- i vestigated. He stated that he merely obtained information on the i 92 case and then turned whatever information he had obtained over to Mr. Bennett, head investigator of the Ford Motor Company, and that generally no one would know what disposition Ins made, as the Ford Motor Company would take its own notion» MI- Can l r f Tth°r 5t°t°d that it may be possible that there was no criminal prosecution in 4 for the further reason that Fitzpatrick, who was also in- 3. 1. this case t t d t volved withGow, was the son or a police eapta1n- He further ' 8 ° --_?§;92.2. t-A J} J t .92 .. - ' ~ ----- _.~.._- -.,_.,.,,_,_,...,__. _ r-_ ./< =,_,' I ! , 0 ~»> -.. ¬ .l_92-f I- Z Q 5 - "iv?

J subsequent to my telephone conversation with you yesterday :£ I arranged to have Mr. Candler again call at this office, and he did { so late yesterday afternoon, and furnished the following information: a- Betty Cow was in Detroit between eighteen and twenty months 's' . 3 »-., ago, looking for work. Mr. Candler has never seen her before or since that time. The manner in which Mr. Candler learned that Betty Cow was Scotty Gow's sister, is that at the time when Candler went to Scotty Cow's house, Mrs. Gow, the wife of scotty, said "I hope there is nothing wrong with Scotti. he are having lots of trouble 1' Y ;. _, now. He has been pretty sick lately, and we've got his sister here g J with us now." Candler saw the girl who was designated as Betty, J and asked her how she liked Detroit. She stated she didn't like 1 1 it at all. Candler is unable to remember where Betty said she was 1 from. He cannot be sure whether it was from Ecotland or Ireland, + but she gave him the impression that she was from one of these countries, or from a small town, due to the fact that she was not ? apparently a wide awake or flapper type of girl. She did not have . ! "1 Q n llnl bl. §v9" DJ Cl-£J}J|3|ilJ-£3-92l¢l92-I ? no-ungnw-nnnn -ll-1'11"»!-ll n l-92r92u-Fhail.hi -KI . 5 Q. .1 . In addition to the description above given, Mr. Candler stated that he could not definitely state the color of Betty GoI's 4 -.,I hair, adding that it was not black, and neither was it blond. It .-'1 was not of a striking color either way, although it might have been .2. dark brown. He did not state as to the color of her eyes. She was of medium build, and he thinks she did not wear glasses. A description of Scott!

We've given half of it to ,» the girls in there. They went in and took the lingerie, oxfords, w and hosiery away from the girls. The rest of the goods was still in the oar.

The other fellow went over and got another sedan load of fountain pen sets, lingerie, . silks, Oxfords and shoes, etc. The next evening this other man i asked me to go with him to Scotty Gow's house.I went over to Scotty Gow's house in Royal Oak, Michigan, a town adjacent to Detroit._ We went in the front way.

These trucks invariably go out of the Oakland Street gate. The trucks belong to the Ford Motor Company, with _- 5 the tags taken off. These tags, which identify the trucks as Ford L 4 x. . ,|!~__; Motor Company vehicles, could be taken oft by the garage man, or Gow could unscrew the tags himself.

Incidentally, Candler stated that the name "Secret service" was changed to the Service Department, at the time of the Ford-Sapiro suit, due to an article criticizing Ford, which was written by Arthur Brisbane. Candler believed that La Marr was at one time the head of the Purple Gang; at .» least they carried out his instructions. The ostensible reason for La Kerr's occupying office space in the office of the head , of the Service Department, was because La Marr furnished the i _i Bord Motor Company withall the produce purchasedby them and A. sold through their Commissaries. Candler believes, however, V ' that the real reason for his being in that office was protection, at "' this office being the safest place for him in Detroit. ; To summarize this matter as nearly as possible, I would ' say that the alleged connection of Scotty Gov with the Purple Gang ~ was by reason of his ability to dispose of_misappropriated goods ' ' from the Ford motor Company, through the Purple Gang; _ .92-'- I - Lfr.

Mr. Hoover said some had been recently taken and he ws:ld see if he could not have some sent to r. Purvis so he could check them with Candler to see if they are one and the same woman. Mr. -. Purvis said he would keep in touch with Candler. Mr. Hoover said that is right and tell him not to talk to anyone else. He asked r.
