immnity in return for informtion, It seems reasonable therefore
to assum his information mey be more reliable than it might be
under other circumstances, It might also be well to note that
Sheriff Bash has promised thisa informant that in the event of any
duplicity on his part he will actually be arrested and prosecuted
for the abduction at Harrisonviite ‘which could carry with it a death
ponaltye e ,
“- * he question was “asked the informant on January 3lst es to
what was the “hot wire* or information that he had previously
promised after the fulfilment of that which had been done, namely
true facts of the matter were not exsctly as show in his previous
interview, That with reference to the incident of the fist fight
at the headquarters of John Lazia he had himself talked to one of
the participanta of the fight immediately after it waa overe That
the participant head told him that the fight occurred because of a
. remark which he himself had made to the other participant regarding
the greatest shooting that Kansas City has ever known, This same
perty also told him that his om hands were bloody from the affair
and on a number of other occasions remarka were made by that
individual to the informant which indicated to the informant that
reference was being mede to the Kansas City massacre and none other. _
In further connection with this the party stated to our
informant that he was present with the other aseassine when they drove
from the Union Station and that they went to a dottling works on
MeGee near 25rd Street, he and another Itelian, where they hid for
the entire day. Since the letter of January 12th was written it has
been found that the bottling works referred to 1a evidently the |
Glendale Beverage Company located at 2320 McGee which is the only
bottling works anywhere in that vicinity. That to tling works is
controlled, aa atated in the letter of Jamary 12th, by Lazia and
which ia ostensibly operated by Charles Corolla. Thare is a subterranean
atreet passing under the Union Station and emerging two blocks there~ rv
from on Grand avenue et 22nd Street. The point from which cars oe
emerge at 22nd and Grand is but a block and a half from the Glendale —
‘aimple ruse for the assassins car or those associated with him to
have been driven west from the scene af the massacre to the weat side
of the Union Station Plaza and then to circle through the aubterranean
street under the Inion Station and emerge at the point near the
Glendale Bottling Workes This probably would have escaped notice
