Director, #2 February 21, 1934.
At the time Bob Brady and Jim Slerk were apprehended near
Tucumcari, New Mexico, by Sheriff Ira Allen, on October 6, 1955, they
were traveling in the identical coupe herein described with the excep-
tion thet et that time it bore Cklehomsa license #538=-623, that had been
issued in the name of F. M. Atwood, Oklahama City. Clark had in his :
possession a Bil} of Sale showing the car was purchased for cash from
Reinar Brothers Motor Company, Oklahoma City, Sept. 26, 1933, by F. M.
Atwood. Jim Clark admitted that he had purchased this car under the
name of Atwood at Oklahoma City.
At the time Brady and Clark were transferred to the Leneing
Prison this car was delivered to his alleged wife who had come to Tucum
cari at the time of his arrest and was registered st the Elks Roaming
House under the name of Beulah Jackson. At that time she was accompanied
by & woman giving the name of Leons Defer, who claimed to be the wife af
Bob Brady. °
On Feb. 6, 1934, the Warden of Lansing, Kensas, State Prison
telegraphed the Police at Houston that they had reliable information that
Jim Clerk and Frank Delmer were at that time at Houston and that Jim Clerk
was either living with or in connection with a woman named Goldie | Johnson.
Special Agent J. V. Murphy working with City Detective A.C.
Martindale at Houston, Tezes, located Goldie Johnson living in an apart~
ment house at 901 Auetin Street, Houston, Texas. A surveillance of this
woman developed that she was calling for mail at General Delivery, Houston,
under the name of Leona Defer. She has so far received mail postmrked
"Neloganey, Okla,” with no return address. On Feb. 17th, she received 4
letter postmarked Tulea, Okla., bearing return addrese Mrs, M, F. Stebbins,
145 N. Lewis Street.
In cooperation with City Detectives at Houston Special Agent J. V.
Murphy kept a surveillance on the apartment house at 901 Austin Street for
several deys. The surveillance of Goldie Johnson or Leona Defer developed
that she was residing in a front apartment at this address, together with
two other young woman, one of whom suits the description of Beulab Jeckson,
the alleged wife of Jim Clark. Photographs were obtained from the Oklahoma
City office of Leona \Brady alias Leona Defer and Beulah Jackson. The photo-
graph of Leana Brady is identical with the woman celling for mail as Leona
Defer and residing at 901 Austin Street as Goldie Johnson. One of the women
staying with her is quite similar in appearance to the photograph of Beuleh
Jacksons
Special Agent J. V. Murphy arranged with City Fire Marshal John
Steel, Houston, Tezxes, and accompanied him as a Deputy Fire Marshal on a
fire hazard inspection of 901 Austin Street and thereby was eble to make a
very thorough check of the apartment house. No information was obtained that
would indicate that Clark or Delmr is occupying this apartment house,
