Ineidentaliy, Mr. Moneypenny informed us confidentially at the conference on Jauuary 26 that his seriousness of purpose might further be substantiated by the fact that he desired no unfavorable publicity, because he hoped at some time in the future to secure the position of Warden of the Penitentiary at Joliet, Illinois. I was informed by Mr, Laubenheimer that a conference was held lest Friday with the Sheriffyand thet the latter was to advise the Murstnl concernine this matter at once. However, Mr. Laubenheimer states that he has not received any call from the Sheriff up to the present time, The Marsh:l further advised me th:t he offered as a suggestion to the United States Attorney, that Capone be sent to the Great Lekes Naval ‘reining Station or to Fort Sheridan, preferably the for, , cn placed in the brig there, but that this suggestion had probably not met with a fcevorable reaction. Mr, Laubenheimer again suggested that the presence of an agent of this Buresu at the Jail to supervise the passes of persons visiting Cepone on visiting days would, he felt sure, be the most lo-cies? erteticr He was, of course, informed that I did not believe the solution to be -uite logical, and that it was without my jurisdiction, end that the limited personnel of this office did not allo such procedure in any event. It is my belief that this idec is definitely ot of his mind now Mr, Laubenheimer further stated that the Sheriff has not eallol .. s been expecting him to do so momentarily, and it appears that no concrete ection is being taken to prevent Capone's comnunicztion with outsiders, unless it is being done at the Jail, and at the present time no inquiry has been mede there. l an holding this matter in the present status, and intend to make no inquiry ot the Jail unless further developments take place, inseamuch as I believe such inquiry there would be fruitless. by en eee GS For your further information, and with reference to my letter of January 27, 1932, with which was enclosed 4 newspaper item appearing in the Chicago Herald and Examiner of th«t date concerning State Representative Charles Coia, please be advised that Mr. Lauten- heimer informed me this morning that his information is that Mr. Coie is taking this matter up with Senator James Hamilton Lewis with the request that the Senator injire of the Attorney General the reason why "a citizen who is clenn” cannot be allowed the privilege of a visit with Capone. “tr. Coie, I am informed, still has the pass which erents him perm’ scion to visit with Capone, but the Marshal states that to 4 ante he cus wt velieve Mr. Coia hes used it. Very truly yours, 7 WA Sr vis, Acting Spetia ‘Agent in Charge.
