I found his car parked in front of a two story fram building.
I looked through the window and saw him sitting downstairs with
Fitzpatrick and two girls, The lights went out domstaira, lights
rent on upstairs. I waited three hours and finally he came out.
I stopped both of them and told them they would be arrested; that
I was going to take them to the station. They said "Don't do
that, we'll bring the goods back. We've given half of it to
the girls in there.” They went in and tock the lingerie, oxfords,
and hosiery away from the girls. The rest of the goods was still
in the car. They brought back this merchandise to the plant, and
left it on my desk. I called up the boss and told him what had
happened and he said "Go out and get the rest they have been taking
for the past year.*
"They refused to have anything more to do with me, but said
if they would send another man over they would give him as much of
the merchandise as they could possibly get back. The other fellow
went over and got another sedan load of fountain pen sets, lingerias,
silks, oxfords and shoes, ete. The next evening this other man
asked me to go with him to Scotty Gow's house. I went over to
Seotty Gow's house in Royal Oak, Michigan, a town adjacent to
Detroit. We went in the front way. His wife and another girl who
turned out to be Scotty Gow's sister were sitting in the dining
room. ‘Scotty Gow was supposedly in bed, sick. We went into the
bedroom to find out how much other merchandise Scotty Gow had, but
before going into the bedroom thie other man went in and asked me
to sit out there for awhile till he talked to Scotty Gow. This
man's neme is Vaness. ‘While sitting in the dining room I asked
Mrs, Gow how everything was, and she gave me the answer set out
above.
"When Scotty Gow worked in the Highland Park Plent of the
Ford Motor Company he had access to the plant. He had charge of
it from four pim. to twelve. He had sixty men under hin, who were
®@upposed to watch the property in three shifts. I took his place
when he was fired because of graft. In the position which ccotty
Gow had he was able to obtain babbitt, which is used instead of
bronze in bushing, virgin tin, lead end copper.
