mp, Hoover celled regarding the Gow matter and some Othérs.
Check at Detroit developed that original informant wes investigator in Detroit
end his reputetion is good for integrity and veracity; Scottyiow, according to
informetion in Detroit, is now in Scotland and according to Detroit inforuwstion
was not at any time arrested nor to txreir imowledge ever connected with the
Arurple Gang; nor did he have a sister but his wife had a sister by the name
of Betty{Burrel. After getting that the informant in Chicago was confronted
With this information ana he stated he etill miinteins tnuet the woman whon he
sew in Scotty Gow's home was Scotty Gow's sister because he was introduced to
her by Scotty Gow's wife as BettygGor and also claims taat he knows that
Scotty Gow was tied in with the Purple Gang and wes acting more or less as a
fence for stolen property in Detroit.
le, Hoover asked if the Colonel had a photograph of the nurse in the Lind-
berzh home end whether he could send it on so the Bureau could send it to
Chicero in order to see if the man could identify the picture. The Colonel
seid he could ao that.
Another enzle is this. There resides in Wasaington a fanily named Suter,
tney are tae perents of Suter, an actress, who is rather well known ectress
has been playing on Broedway at times and is st present in Eneland; sometime ago
she gotinto the hands of some blackmailers end among the blakmailers was a man
namegyY.anael, tae same neane of tne men who claims to own the csr you found there ~
in Jersey; the signiticant thing about it is that the papers down here printed
the rensom note and tae Suters hed some papers in their possession from a man
wnom tis ann Suter imew, a steward on the boat coming over from Eurove‘yith
her and with whom she becane involwed ana who introduced her later to Wiese
blackmzilers anong whom was Mandel; the printing on the photograph ofpilillar \
which they have corresponds in some degree to the printing on one of these
ransom notes, the one that was mailed from Newerk that said "baby safe"; one
of the Government expertshas examined the newspaper reproduction and the
original which the Suters gave the Bureau and there is some marked similarity
found and he elso found some differences. Mr. Hoover asked if the N. J.
authorities had photographic copy of the note that was mailed from Newark
a5 it would be better for the expert to look that over. No photographs have
been taken of that. The Colonel asked if a photostatic copy would be sent
of what the Bureau had.
