MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR. - Agent in Charge Conroy called from Kansas City and Ser stated that this morning the court had reduced the bond ofgStacey, who is being held on the obstruction of justice charges, to $5000. Attorney Henry R. Balaban, former Assistant United States Attomey . at Chicago, who represents Stacey, was in to see Conroy this morning and requested permission to confer with Stacey, which Conroy granted. Subsequently Baleban called Conroy and advised him that he had found - Stacey in practically solitary confinement and requested thet he be renoved from this sort of a cell and placed in the ordinary cell for the two or three days which it will require to make the $5000 bond. Conroy said he felt that this was a reasonable request inasmuch as Stacey undoubtedly will meke the bond; that we wight as well make & gesture of good will by agreeing to the removal from solitary confinement. anazooru LON Conroy stated that he had talked to Stacey several days ago &t which time Stacey had told him that if he could be promised immunity he would be glad to assist the Division with all of the information he had and he felt that he could hook one man definitely into the Kansas City massacre. He would not intimate who this man was but Conroy says he feels it is Miller. Conroy, of course, told him that he could not possibly give him any such promise but Conroy stated that he would continue, of course, to keep in touch with Stacey. I asked him whether Belaban had shown any disposition to have Stacey talk end Conroy stated that Baleban's attitude was very good. He did not promise anything but stated that he felt that Stacey would be — inclined to help the Government, particularly if he is given just a little consideration at the jail et this time. Conroy stated that Belaban is to call him back at three o'clock and Conroy would like to heve word from the Director prior to thet tine. now been mede $5000 we might just as well permit Stecey's removal from solitary confinement. We have nothing to lose by this and there is a I rather agree with Conroy thet inasmuch as the bond has | bere possibility that we might gain something.
