BI Pal 29 opened the rear trunk of his cab in which I saw twe Lruni-type suitcases, The man I later discovered was HALL was in the bar ot the vine I arrived. The Laclede driver told me the man would be 4 good load as .¢ had received two $26 bills and didn't know whether he should give his any change or not. HALL came out and got in my cab. I asked him if he wanted te go out all night and he said yes, he was celebrating. I drove to the 1900 block of North Ninth Street and while he stayed in the cab T contacted GANDY O'DAY. 7 told her I had a date for her that night and it locked live a good deal. “he got dressed up and went with me to the cab where I introduced her as CANDY to HALL. I still didn't know his name, He suggested that we go to a bar first and I drove to McMeMamees Bar on the southwest corner of 25th Street and St. Louis Avenue in St. Louis, and we 411i went in and sot a drink, While there HALL went to the men's room and I noticed his coat appeared to bulge on one side which made me think he might be a policeman and might be carrying a gun. iwhen he came out he asked the bartender for a pencil, some paper and a plain envelope. He turned around so SANSY and I couldn't see what he was icing and app.rently wrote a letter and sealed it in the envelope. I %as afraid that he was a police officer and that he was setting a trap for me by having me make the date for him with SANDY and I told him so. ie laughed and gaic, "if you knew what I know you would realize how funny that is', He paid the bartender a $20.00 bill for the drinks and gave the $18 change to me. He then decided that he wanted to a to a motel and I thought the Coral Courts would be the best place. On the way out he asked me to stop and get some shaving equipment and wanted to know what I would be doing after I delivered them at the Court. I told him that T would st ay with him or do anythin ne he wanted me to, He said, 'Thatts thing he wanted me to. He said fine, just what I want’, He then reached in his pocket and gave me five £20 bills and told me that it was ‘just a starter’. I stopped at a drugstore on the southwest corner of Grand and Lafayette to get a razor and some shaving cream which I paid for with the money he gave me, While there I saw a Laclede Gab across the street and HALL asked me to have the driver deliver the letter he had written in the bar, I took the envelope to the driver and noted that it was directed to someone in the 4560 block of Arsenal Street, St. Louis. IJ told the Laclede driver that I was afraid my fare might be a policeman and that the note was to tell olher officers where I was taking him in the car. I told him to open the envelope and if he found it to be a note to other police officers to Lear it up and throw it away. Otherwise to seal it in another envelope and deliver it. When I came back to my cab there was a traffic cop standing by it who reminded me there was no parking in that zone after -1h6- ee tetinatiems | s? ih MELT Oe i SENS? F ol ened SE, .
