_ Honorable Tom Clark Page Two February 19, 1946 a great sum of money in the prosecution of this case because of the inherent weaknesses hereinabove set forth. I intend trying him for forgery in San Francisco and have a good case against him, but a conviction in those cases will only keep him in the penitentiary for a relatively short period of time. I believe the case is one that calls for the coordinated efforts of your office and the Department of Justice to the end that this man be not permitted to kill any other individuals. ' In addition to that, failure upon the part of this office or the other offices to convict this man might result in a series of crimes of a similar nature because a great many evil and designing men are, I am sure, watching the outcome of this case. ' I realize that this does not fall within the statutory jurisdiction of your office, and probably does not fall within that of the Department of Justice, but a central coordinating agency is necessary to sift all that- we have obtained and then use the great powers vested in your office to aid or assist the local community. I trust that I made myself clear and would like to have your advice on this extremely important matter. Very truly yours, _ __ EDMUND G. BROWN District Attorney EGB:PR
