JOHN EDGAR HOOVER ' DIRECTOR "ENDS - : —-Bepartmnt of Buntce ) | See Ae. July 6, 1933. Mr. Clegg... Oboe ween wees MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR. 4 , - a AW WOM Seni oe " Agent D. O, Smith called fron Chicago and. paid that : Agents Jenkins and Brennan had interviewed the widow of Frank - i. Nash at Wenona, Illinois, but nothing was gained by the interview. * aan She simply smiled and stood pat. She even denied that she was .93-.°0°0. Frank Nash's widow, stating that she was married at one time when ee everybody was drunk but she had forgotten the details. This was. a hundred to one shot which did not turn out. I told Smith to tell © Brennan to go back to Kansas City and to have Jenkins keep a general - line on the widow. Purvis' idea was to get out some kind of a \~ = process and call her in and attempt to break her dom. J told him ae I did not think it would be advisable at the present time; that there was very little chance of breaking down a woman of this type who had |, consorted with criminals all her life. We may do it later after we | try to break down some male criminals. - ee Very truly yours, > ut 1 a ii00' ‘: Gduéo u “wr aint, wy m ht a ee N: ~~ t Netley 7 Sa’, wi 2 sue Tha pee a & dt WiKi bon Shr f } n OM ee : t wa ‘ nl *) iw) xy =e 5, . ae haan * ‘,
