These officers, however, during the general conversation on the day previous, had secured fran Bents the names of the participants in five other benk robberies in the _ State of Michigan. Bents, however, would not discuss the details of those other robberies, at the same time stating that he did not participate in those bank robberies. Incidentally, during the interview with Ed Bents at the penitentiary, on cocasions Bentz made statements to the effect that he had furnished cer- tain information to the Agents of the Bureau at New York City: and elsewhere. This information was not at hand at the Atlanta Office. Iam inclined to believe that it should be available for purposes of references. In view of these circumstances, ‘\_ should the Bureau deem same appropriate, it is suggested that Gamer C. complete reports, memorandums and letters regarding all inter- Qprtd Views with Bentr should be tranmmitted to the Atlanta Office for study before any further interviews of consequence be held Qr- with Bentz, The Agents of the office then will be in « position to interrogate Bentz in more detailed manner.
