Deer Sir: Reference is made to the report of Special Agent W. A. Temple, Birmingham, Alabama, dated May 25, 1925, and to my letter of July 17, 1935. ant ’ b7c On August 29, 1935 Agent Temple called at the Prison c office, Parchman, Mississippi, for the purpose of again interviewing At that time agent Temple was informed by Sergeant " . a who has charge of this Prison Camp, that ae has recently addressed a letter to Mrs. Capone. This letter was not mailed by the prison authorities, and a copy was made by Special Agent Temple. Copies are attached to this communication. It is noted that the envelope was addressed to Mra. Capone care of Palm Island Estate, Miami, Florida. From the attitude thet MMEMMB has teken in this matter, it seems to m that he is endeavoring to receive leniency in connection with the pending a ———————s charge’, without actually heving any information of value to furnish. It also seems that he may be con- templating some kind of shake-down schame with reference to Mrs. Capone, I would appreciate the advice of the Bureau as to whether it is deemed desirable to continue the p riodic contacts with In the absence of such contacts, there are no leads in the Birmingham territory, and this case should either be closed or Referred Upon Completion to the Atlanta office. Any further activity in this district will be held in abeyance pending Bureau instructions. Very truly yours, wee N a af R. B. NATHAN, CC: Atlanta a\ Special Agent in Charge. + \ oN %
