Dear Sir: Under date of May 28, 1934, you wrote me to the effect that you had received confidential information that Mrs. Alphonse , -*@apone, Sr,, wife of AYCcapone, had established a residence in Reno, ~ Nevada, with a view of divorcing ber husband. You asked thet when an agent was next at Reno, that euch inquiries as can be discreetly and diplowticelly made, should be made to determine whether trere was any foundstion to the atory. in July 7, 1934, Special agent J.F. O'Connell of this office, while at Reno, Nevade, interviewed Postmaster W.E. Einnikin, whe stateu t at Le had heerd nothing of the matter, and had not heard that irs, Alphonse Capone Sr., was receiving mail at Reno. If Mrs. Capone is, or has been at Heno for the purpose referred to, it is quite probable that she would be living under an assumed name, with her identity known only to her attorney, while if she had instituted a suit for divoree she would, of necessity, file complaint under her Tight name,end as soon as filed, the newspaners et Reno would learn it and publish it, as is their prectise. It is a daily routine matter for representatives of the newspavers at Reno to learn the identities of the rersons filing suits for diworce, If the Division wishes this "matter pursued further at Reno, I suggest that the Division, through its Jacksonville or Chicago Division offices, in which territory Mrs. Alphonse Capone Sr. is said to have resided in the past, endeavor to determine her lest know address, and then make such inguiry as is possible for the purpose of - determinines if she has been absent fram that place, and if so where. Either one or both of these offices might also learn the name and address of the Attorney who has represented her interests in the past, and through some contact with the office of the attorney, determine the securacy or inaccuracy of the information relating to any contemplated divorce on her part. ee, o4-1%0-. 747 Very truly yours, Ae mies 616 1934 (7 JOHN A.
