The Cadiliac Car, which was recognized as the Sedan
belonging to Galatas has been in storage ever since the date above mon-
tioned. Medison claire he has had no instructions or word from anyone
regarding it since that tine. Agents examined the machine and deter-
mined that it is the car described as the property of Galatas. Madison
was furnished with the telephone number of the Kansas City office and
promised to notify this officé immediately should he receive any inquiries
regarding this machine. He also promised to notify the Little Rock Police
should anyone call for the car. Arrangements were made with Chief of De~-
tective Pitecock, Police Department, Little Rock, to the effect that should
anyone call for the car,that party will be detained and the Kansas City
office will be notified. Madison when questioned seid that he has no
knowledge regarding the whereabouts of Galatas.
John Harbour, heretofore mentioned, in addition to
verifying the statements of Madison, stated that the man from whom he
secured the Cadillac appeared to be a friend of the restaurant operator.
Harbour at the request of the atranger, wrote out a receipt for the car
on one of hia business cards. He described the man with whom he did
business as being small and young. ;
It was determined that the restaurant described by
Harbour is Jendyts Fat Shop, located at 517 W. Markhem Street. Jendy Wen=
na, the proprietor, recalled when interviewed that one Boy Prout, a friend
of his, came to the restaurant on Sunday night about six Weeks ago and ask-
ed for the telephone number of the Cadellic agency. He told Mr. Menna that.
he had a Cadillac car he wanted to turn over to the asency. Menha called
the agency and shortly thereefter a representative came.to the restaurant,
gave Prout a receipt for the car and departed. He advised that he and -
Prout had a few drinks together and thet Prout later told him that the
car belonged to one Galatas; that Galatas while drunk in St. Louis, Mo.,
had asked Prout to take his Cadillac oar to Little Rock and turn it over
to the dealer there; that, pursuant to the request, the car was then
driven from St. Louis to Little Rock. Menna also atated that he formerly
worked with Prout, who was employed as Truck Foreman by the General Ma-
terial Company in St. Louis, Missouri. He advised that Prout can now be
located through the Superintendent of the General Material Company, and
that Prout is now working in St. Louis as an automobile tire salesman.
