Mr. Clawson suggested that I have a conference with hr, Moneypenny at my office today, at wrich he intended to be present, together with +r. Laubenheimer, the United States Marshal, Trie conference was arranged and held in my office this morninz, the sare bein; attendei by the four above mentioned parties. Lr. Lon any exnressed surprise at the rumors >revalent, adding that all of his aseistante and superintendents were persons in whom he had im-licit feith. he added, however, that he realized the possibilities of vmauthcrized persons visiting Capone in the jail, but that he knew of no way in which the present manner of allowing euch visits om t be im-roved, ani urceently requested advice and instructions, with emphasis upon the fact that he was extremely desirous of cerrying out the wishes cf the United States Marshal with regard to this matter, Various probable solutions to this proposition were discussed, such as the placing of Cavone in @ cell block instead or the hos: ital or convalescent ward, @ portion of which space he is now.oce:ryint. It was thought, however, that none of the matters discussed would solve the problem, excent the placing of Der-uty lershals therein as cuaris to consider the passes and the person’ ailowed to visit Canone. Lr. Lavbenheimer steted that he culd write to the Attorney General today and request authority vor e nloyuent of these. In this connection it might be stated thet Ir. Laubenheimer mentioned that it would be very desirable if we could also place one of our § pecial Agents to work with the Desuties on the day shift until final disposition is made of this case, Ir, Tovterheimen wee tnformed that while I would be very glad to cooperate to any extent possible, I did not believe that the aesi nt of an Ascent to such duty would be possible, due to my limitei versonnel here at the present time, It is my impression that four Deputy Marshels, properly selecte2, would be sufficient to carry out the plan and accomplish the purvose, and that the assisnment of an Agent for wrk of this natire vould not be at all necessary. It azpears that at the present time no further acticn should be taken on this matter by this office. appearing in thefhicago Daily Tribune in this morning's issue. I will keen in close touch with the situation here, and will advise you irmedietel: when any develonments take place. For sop information I am enclosing herewith a newspaper item Very truly yours, WW. GiwG MEE RLS li. H. Purvis, actin: #eg-41 Enrecial Agent in Charge. ~
