When asked about the policy end of the business he had not heard what is going to happen to that. hutiand stiil does not like Steve end commented that the bunch of men he hired would do nothing but ceuse trouble, especially Jack Medford. Faul Jones arrived with Mrs. Jones via braniff last night. He called Butler about 1.30 F.M. at his home. ‘ater he came to Butler's home in yellow cab #78, about 2 P.wi, Butler informed Jones that there was a pick up on all the out of town boys in Dallas et this time and it would be advisable for Jones to leave or lie low for a while. Inasmuch as Jones had some dental work he had to have done end elso had his wife here he seid he would have to take a chance by steying. He asked Butler to take himto the washington Apts. where B. met Kirg., J. dirs. J. made some coffee and during the conversation iirs. Jones asked Paul when Koby was coming in, end Paul said, tomorrow evening. Jones. had already told Butler that J:.ack Knepp would be in tomorrow so Roby and Jack are probably one end the same. in discussing Ramon and Madden Jones advised me to go ahead and arrest them - run them out of town, that they and Sam Yaris were nothing. but trouble makers. That he, Jones, could not aitord to ask any questions about them but they all hung around Sam Yaris! place and could be picked up there. : On being questioned about bundy and-Strance, Jones stated that they had; through a local salesman, .for the Balli Uoin tlachine Go. in Chicago, made sn ap- pointment to meet Eddie Vogel. During “the meeting Bundy and Strance made the statement to Voget thet taey had put up #168,000 to elect Jester for Governor and Guthrie for Sheriff and they had been given Dalles County. They would be willing go give Vogel a nice niece of the take if he would finance the deal but they wanted their $168,090. they had spent for campaign expenses right off the top, first. This declaration by these men was made at about the same time Paul Jones made his. Paul was with Vogel and Manning eat the time he last called Butler from Chicago. As a result of this other proposition, coming from a fairly reliable source, Paul says his people are a little cold and willing to weit until Steve gets set before they start moving. Jones stated that after he talked to me he went to N.Y.City - to Mexico City - to Chicego and so to Dallas. - If it were not Yor his urgent need to see a dentist he would teke his wife on to Mexico for a short vacation while things are cooling off here. 50529 DoclId: 32241673 Page 67 -17_ /
N.Y. oi ty dated 16 46 and addressed to Paul Jones’ Oe Jacobson Co. 324 Halsted Street, Chicago, Illinois and signed by S. Vernon Mann,Jr. The letter was for an order of specified steel sheeting 325,625 pounds for which Jones had been given a check for $325.00 by Mr. Mann, who told Jones that the rest of the money would be paid by a sight draft on delivery. The letter mentioned the writer having met Mrs. Jones, a very charming person, and hoped that she was feeling fine. Apparently the deal was made at tne Syracuse Hotel end was of tne black market variety. Jones is going to keep in touch with me and let me know when Knapp arrives but will not let Knapp go to the Adolphus Hotel. While at Jones Apt. he geve me an Akron foutainpen in a box number 743. He said these pens were nationally known end were given to him by a friend who had ordered a large bunch of them when pens were hard to get. Jones had an appointment with his lawyer T. K. at 3 P.M. I drove him from the apartment to the Irwin - Kessler Bldg. in my car. Jones seemed to be very sincere about Sem Yeris, being his enemy end wanting Va to cause him all the trouble possible. He said Sam-hac already got a call from Chicego to keep his big mouth shut. He said, in all probability Ramon end Madden with thé other boys had already moved from the Baker Hotel and that Sam's was the ideal place to pick them um. He seid Madden and Nate had been run out of N. Y. City by La Guardia for personal reasons, that they were not so tough. According to Jones, Yaris is a very crude sort of person and is always causing trouble. Sussman of the S. & Co. Coin Mechine Co. gave the ower of Lucky's Tavern 2400.00 to take out a competitors Seaburg machine and put in his Wurlitzer phono- graph. Jimmie Mills is going eround telling people he is Steve's first cousin and can fix the” “Sounty for @ price. Ben Musick is saying the same thing and has made a statement that he was going to put “Eds “Harvey out of business. Sam Yaris has a big phone connection in the construction Bldg. thought to be in the name of S. W, Novelty Co. Some Ft. Worth man runs: that end of it. In talking to Paul Jones he made the confidential remark that if ever I made a really big narcotic haul and wanted to get well that ell I had to do was to call him. He knew a man who would teke it off my hands without any risk or embarrassment and pay top prices. 12-4 Niges Note - Nathan 4.
