! . } , » . > : F. \/ }epariment of mas 1900 Bankers Bldg, a Chicago, Jilinois _ dnugust 9, 1933, - Cg Director, . - United States Bureau of Invest igation, _ oe Dear Siri- I am eficlosing herewith a list of 157 Chicago public enemies. This list was prepared by Chief of Detectives Shoemaker for the confidential information of the Mayor and the Commissioner of Police, 4At my request, Mr. Shoemaker fur- nished me with a copy of this list, after which I also re- quested him to furnish me with photographs of eash of the persons named in this list. Some of thase public enemies are now de- ceased, and the list has mot been revised. I am taking steps to have this done, and will inform you as soon as possible, There are attached hereto group photographs and individual police piotograchs of these publi¢e enenies, which were furnished me by Mr. Shoemaker. In many inetances, it will be found that we will have only a group photograph and will not have a regular police pictures. Mr. Shoemaker informs me thet unless charges are placed against persons arrested, : m individual photograph is taken, but a group, or stending aq photograph is taken of all persons arrested by the police. I am forwarding these ae of interest to the Bureau, and I believe it advisable that the Bureau retain a copy of each of these photographs. I also believe it advisable that ‘ a copy of each be kept in the Chicago Office, and it is re- ; quested that the Bureau make a Photographic copy of each and > PY DESTROYED return sane to m6, ‘ \RELAUG 1S 1968 Undoubtedly it will be found that the Bureau will not have fingerprints of all of the individuals mentioned in , this list, and individuals, whose pictures we have. It has been my belief that the Identification Division of the Chicago Police \ ae Department has not, in the past, forwarded copies of all finger- a prints taken, and if these photogfeaphs cannot be identified by Wd - SEP 5. 1869 Aug ad tesa & . - ye. . ae oo Le | {?
