which he thinks was a Chevrolet Sedan. Formerly the Conners had a Pack-
ard. He ajvises that it is hia understanding that Mre. Conner is an
arkansas girl, tut he does not know where her bome was. He aleo advised
that a little girl who had been with the Conners when they lived at the
address on Cedar Street was reported to be her sister's child. This girl
ie about 12 to 15 years of age, and is described as being short and red-
heired. Mrs. Hutton recalls her name as Janice(phonetic), but neither
knows ber last name. Ecth advise thet for a time the girl was placed in
@ convent in Little Rock.
Mr. Hutton advised that he heard Conner speak of his farm, which he
thinks is in Missouri, poseibly near Sikeston. Conner spoke of a log 7
house he was building on the place, ané of the fine hunting. He advised,
however, that Conner was syphilitic and suffered from paresis, and was
hance possibly addicted to hallucinations. Mr. Button talked at some
length, but dieclosed nothing further of interest to this investigation.
It was ascertained that 1101 Central Avenue, Hot Springs, is a two-family
dwelling, and that Moses Mendel occupies one flat, the other teing vacant. |
Mr. Mendel advised thet he formerly rented the flat to a Mra. Harris, who,
upon the death of her husband, sub-let the flat, furnished, to Mrs. Conner.
He advised thet Mra. Harris is now in California, and that he knows nothing
concerning Mrs. Conner. He unéerstood that her brother-in-law lived vith
her, but knows nothing concerning him. after the arrest of Frank Nesh at
Hot Springs, he did mot hear the Conners in the flet any more, and after e
few days sent a negro who works for him into the flat to determine whother
their effectea had been removed. The report was that they hed apparently
moved. Some mail cane, which he returned to the post office. He thinks that
some of the mail was from a town in Missouri, and that one registered letter
was received from Detroit. He is of the opinion that hie employee, eho vas
absent at the time of the interview, might have information of interest, and
this negro will accordingly be interviewed. ;
Bill Seiz, Jr., was interviewed at bis office, and furnished Agents with
a recent photograph of Galatas, which be requested be returned to bim when
copies bave been made. The persons interviewed advised that it ie an excel-
lent likeness of Gelatas. Mr. Seiz expressed the opinion thet Gelatas might
be found in the vicinity of Knobel, arkansas, where Conner has been reported
to have a farm, and where a filling station has been maintained by “the gang*
for re-fueling cars running liquor to St. Louia. (It 19 noted that thie - .
- place-has been previously referred to as Noble, Mo.) Mr. Seiz also afivised
that Gelatas is a mamber of the Shrine, but stated that the Masonic Lodge at
Bot Springs would have more personal history than the Shrine Temple, located
at Pine Buff. (The photo of Gelatas is attached hereto, and should be re-
turned to Ur. Seis.) °
