_ Be in Kansas City. He came to the office and advised that he has eecured the services of a lawyer by the name of Rucker, who had had a conference with United States attorney W. L. Vandeventer, who had indicated to Rucker thet a bond of $2500.00 might be set, in the event that the Division of Investigation had no objections. More+ man further stated that Rucker had some friend who could put up a bond of $2000.00 on some property valued at $4,000.00. I informed Moreman that by placing the bond of Mre. Conner less than that of Mrs. Nash, it might be an indication to the public that she was a lesser defendant. I informed him that it would not be proper to show that discrimination. 4t this same time, I advised Mr, Moreman that a friend of Mrs. Conner in an outside city had offered to go her bond in the event that same: had been reduced. I also told him that I talked to Mrs. Conner rela- tive thereto, and that she had not apparently been much interested. He stated that he could not understand her attitude and advised that he would confer with her in regard thereto, Arrangementa were made to have him confer with Mra. Conner at the County Jail. after Moremants visit with Mrs. Conner, he returned to this office and advieed that Mrs. Conner had instructed him to get in touch with Tom Kearney over the telephone and arrange for her bond. Later, Mr. Moreman informed this office that he had made arrangements with Kearney to furnish the bond. I will be noted that shortly after Moreman left the County Jail, Mrs. Conner sent two telegrams, one to Mr. Luther Graves, Exchange Building, Memphis, Tennessee, stating: "Made arrangements here no attorney see you soon,” Another telegran to Mrs. Pearl, Telephone No. 32278, Memphis, Tennessee, reads as fol- lows: “Make no arrangements there things good shape here,” In addition a telegram was received by Mrs. Conner at the County Jail on the Sth instant, which is quoted as follows: (51) MGA 107 289 DL COLLECT 2D -MEMPHIS TEN 8 150P MRS E B CONNER CARE COUNTY JAILER KSC WIRE ME CARE LUTHER GRAVES ATTORNEY EXCHANGE RLDG INSTRUCTIONS AS TO ATTORNEYS FEES AND BOND PROVIDING FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THINK I CAN BORROW BALANCE SPaRE RIB QUEEN J ¢ COLLINS. It appears that United States District Judge Albert L. Reeves, who is the only person who could reduce the bond, is out of Kensas City and will not return until December llth. Accordingly, it would appear not possible for Mrs. Conner to be released on bond until that date.
