Gentlemen,&#39; You may,or may not,be interested in the following

facts and rumors of a certain individual 1 know of.

He lives in Grand Bapids,Eioh. He is married toa woman whose first husband is said to have been slain bya1"Purple�ganster- His fear of the 1aw,aleo,his wife&#39;s,seems to take him out of the detective class. gs and hiswife makes long trips and always travels by night,£requent-ly on Sundays,to Indianapolis,hetroit,uleveland and new towhen he returns he has plenty money. His wife spcrts,onoccasions,several diamonds. on one return he threw a partythat cost money. Lnother,he paid a tax bill of a couplehundred dollars or eo,on a relatives property.§,Recentl{he took much notice,acoording to witnese,of report of*t eLindberg baby kidnap trial on in new Jsrsey,whereon some-thing was stated,or intimated,that a former Iurple gangstaand bootlegger was being sought by authorities. Three timehe virtually commanded his wife to "read that",pointingout the pisoe- They asked for this newspaper. That even-ing they made another "mystery" trip. The time he returnsand threw a little party was a few days after the Brooklynhank robbery of some s485,000.00. This took place whilehe was on one of his trips from erend sapida. Of course,there is but little,and very little,chanse that he wasmixed up in it,nevertheless the coincident of his absencewith the commission of the crime,and the mystery whichseems to surround him and his movements had to be noted.I recall that he was said to have been in new Isl! tit!at the time of the bank robbery. He is said to have save:friends on the Grand Rapids police force. For this reason1 have not disclosed any of the herein to the force. Infact,1 have said nothing to anyone connected in any Iayto the force,or to anyone else. It has been my secret andconfidence in parties who 1 know to he reliable. 1 con-vinced the latter the matter should be brought to your at-tention and the party was willing provided he was not disclosed to anyone but yourselves,having a natural fear ofre risals if discovered friends of this man,should he

I Special Agent in Charge Magee of the-New Orleans Office, he said thatT through the United States Attorney there in Net Orleans, he received aL request for a conference with two Congressmen and one Senator about the

gangster situetion in Louisiana in the coming election. These gentlemenwere Mr. J._�.|Sanders, Jr. and John NI Sandlin, the Congressmen, andClevelsnd]Deer, the Senator. These gentlemen wanted Hr, Magee to under=take at once an extensive investigation relative to thelPurple Gang, whoare reported to be in Louisiana to do some "dirty work" in connection with�he coming election on Januay 2l,nl936- Mr. Magee said that these men hadabsolutely nothing definite, and it appeared that they just morewanted confirmation or denial on the prrt of Mr. Magee as to theof thir gang in Louisiana so that it might be used for political

or less

presencepurposes.

Mr Magee said he told these gentlemen that in the absence of"&#39; 1* 1 +ion oi P Federal law within the investigative jurisdictiona speciiic .io-ae-c� c- c -c�- 92 on U

of this Bureau, no investigation could be conducted. A letter of co plate&#39; &#39; &#39; ~ &#39; J M edetail and otrticulars is being forwarded to tne Bureau by hr. age

relative to this matter.

in advance by the Eiami Beach Police Qepurtment, in the past the SheriffsOffice of Dede County when raiding the Club, is reputed to call the pEiemi Beach Police, who then tip off the Club.

In the �inter of 1955-as this Club res raided on one ocoassion at whichtime there apparently was not a tip off, by the Miami beach Police under �the leadership of W. C. �ichman, now Ass&#39;t Chief of Police. Wertheimer met 7him at the d-or and told him that he could not go up stairs, to which�ichnen replied that he was going upstairs in Spite of tertheimer, whereuponhe was advised to call his Chief, H. V. locum. Upon ce1?ing Chief locum,apparently his action was approved whereupon he so advised Eertheiner.thathe was going upstairs, at this point Wertheirer took the phone and saidto Yocum,"Listen I am telling you whet you can do and you are going to takeorders from me", he then told �ichman to talk to Yocum, Ibo called off theraid. apparently at this time, Hichnan was not being included in the payoff.

d me confidentially by IOU IERTHEDIER to the effect t pJewish people in Ina Angeles have recently banded together 1&#39;or~thepurpose of opposing Anti-Semetic movments and propaganda. Ir.

IER&#39;I�HE1IER stated that at this particular nestingmuch was made of the weakness of Jewish people to help the followersof their faith, even though some of these followers were law violators-

llr. IEERTHEIIEER apparently was prmpted to sake these remarks because of his disappointment in t o1�,the thirty orforty photographs shown to him by gent d me of subject IOUlS_BUCHALTER and his associates, practical y a of the photographs are --of Jewish individuals.

The original head of the Purple Gang, ABE BERNSTEIN, presently resides

at the Book Cadillac Hotel, Detroit, Michigan, and receives a very sub-stantial income from the race track wire service in Detroit. Inrormstion

indicates that several years ago, when he had his Purple Gang together,he muscled in on the wire service as it was conducted then and has Jmaintsined&#39;his interests sufficiently to force the ANENBERG intereststo pay him a rake oft. AB&#39;s two brothers, JGE and IZZIE BERNBTEIN,

the&#39;numer&#39;cus thefts occurring in this area are due mainly to an association?" Lbetween limited numbers of the employees of the various railroad companies

and yards who have had personal knowledge of incoming shipments, and as aresult, have been able to avail themselves of the opportunity, and in some�instances have combined with others outside the railroad companies to effectthe theft from interstate shipments. The solution of several oases recentlyby this office, which have occurred mainly in the Southern Pacific yards,revealed that these associations were limited to two&#39;,thre_e or four individualsin the railroad companies in one group, and two, three or four individualsin other groups, and that there is no connection between the various groups,nor any organization to indicate an organized gang. - -

The police authorities here, namely the Los Angeles Police Department and theLos Angeles Sheriff&#39;s Office, are satisfied that there are no known gangs f -operating within this territory who are responsible for the perpetration &#39;of local crimes. .
