H, Mackey, Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, Washington, D.C. Dear Mackey:- Replying to your letter of July 22nd,1921, I recall very clearly Captain McConnell coming into the office and giving us either his check or cash for a @meil emount of money, for which he d@esirefl our check, It seems to me that it was e check he bef ani he wanted our check for some reason which I don't recall, possibly he wanted to make an early collection on the cheok he dead and our check was easier to cash in Washington, I am not at all clear as to just what the money represented by thie check was, It seems to me that it wes an amount which some minor employes at the encampment had admitted he hai wrongfully made in some way in handling the supplies of the encampment, and wished to return, McConnell was making an investigation end was in doubt eas to what should be done with the money, not knowing whether it should be returned to the Disbureing Officer at the encampment and credited : to some War Department Division, or turned in to the __.-_____ reBaury es a miscellaneous item, Ifthe sheek was — — ——_— returned without being cashed, it would seem to confirm the idea that the money shoulda be paid to the Treasury, In any event, the check was the money which we put in our Special Fund, in exchange for our check, 4 Poon oe ieee CE eh gt PES cop tT et Sen 5 SO oe, SR RPO PAL ATE EID oar P47 Lorn <1 7 tne ene Naty EEA SOBRE HN th NO None AM an aes oy I recall Captain McConnell speaking to me about it one day and my turning the matter over to Miss.
