Director, So x ; Division of Invetigation, ST United States Department of Justice, oo - af Washington, D. ©, 7 Co pe a ! Dear Sir: Pursuant to telephonic instructions I made inquiry . at Tucumcari, New Kexico, of Sheriff Ira Allen as to whether he notified the San Antonio Office of the Division of the fact . that he had arrested Bob’Brady and Jinf?Clark, and he advised that he had not done 90. He said that he phoned to the Chief : of Police at Amarillo, Texas, fran whom he had received the © . - information that Brady and enother man were traveling toward - Tucumcari and he had presumed that Chief McDowell of dmarille would notify the Division. Sheriff Allen said that in the future he would oo notify the San Antonio Office of events happening in his county. Chief McDowell of Amarillo said the reasan he bet . an not notified the Dallas Office, was that he ‘thought Sherife so te Allen vould do so, iJ The Sheriff's orrice a ecmeest is typical of many such offices in the Southwest, in that adequate records are not maintained and no filing system is in use by which data es) F furnished by the Diviaion and others may be located. I saw ; 5 several Identification Orders hanging on spindle files or ly- - Se ' ing loose in or on desks, mixed with verious other wanted ce notices. . e x The postmaster at Tucumcari located hie Ident ifi- ei ation Orders and from them identified Clark and Brady. NG I endeavored to impress on Chief McDowell of 4merillo the importance of keeping us advised of such develop- _S mente and I feel that he will do so. He is very cooperative ani kindly disposed, ~: rN RECORDED . ~ OC; ye OCT 201933 | us. CUFIES DESTROYED : en aer= 40 sys cy 464
