Reference is made to the attached memorandum which , Mr. Nease directed to Mr. Tolson under date of November 29, 1957. The files do not reflect the most current information concerning Elliott Ness. J recall discussing with Supreme Court Justice Burton, at the Liaison party, our previous association in Cleveland and the name of Ellicott Ness came up, Justice Burton stated that it was too bad Elliott Ness had died. I did not make any comment on this point. I today checked the file and am unable to locate any reference to this. A check with the Cleveland Office indicated that Elliott Ness, | according to a news item, died on May 16, 1957, at his home in | Coudersport, Pennsylvania, of a heart attack. Among other things, it }4 indicated he had been married three times. It is also noted he was married to Elizabeth Seaver. This was his last wife and it is my understanding that she had some tie-in with the Diebold Safe Company. This may account for the fact that he was Board Chairman of the Diebold Safe Company and it is also noted that he was connected with the Fidelity Check Corporation and the Guaranty Paper Corporation.
