the League about whipped. 49,.
So far as know was the only person employed
to spy on the League, but those responsible for
the investigation tried several times to brbe some
one connected with the League to furnish informa-
tion. Palmer often spoke to me regarding the ste
nographers and asked if it would not be possible
to get one of them to give me more information
and to get for me the membership index cards,
which I had refused to steal He asked particu-
larly about the patriotism of the girls working in
the Office, and I told him that far as knew the
girls were all patriotic and loyal.
I gave him the of the girls employed as
stenographers at the League offices, and he
piled that he believed he knew of them, Miss
Desmond He said he would either approach her
himself or have someone in Lincoln who knew
her sound her out to the possibilities of winning
her over to the League opposition. I later learned
from Miss Desmond that she had been approached
by. man whom she described From her descrip-
tion judged that the man who, had talked with
her Palmer.
I allowed very liberal expense account,
which ranged from SIS to 81 day. My method of
working was to spend this money on any organizer
who happened to be in town and very often on
the stenographers, taking them to lunch, and in
this way I obtained considerable information re-
garding the number Of League members in the
state and other data Of the same kind.
Palmer asked me frequently to steal for him

I was relieved of my operation against the
League in Nebraska in September, 1918, as the
result, believe, of disagreement between Cen
eral Agent McGrath at Omaha and Palmer. Nc
Grath told me that he had informed the business
at Omaha that Palmer inefficient and
that he could do the work much better than Palmer
He urged the business men, he said, to put the
tire investigation into his hands
In the meantime Palmer learned of McGraths
action, and in order to pay McGrath back in his
own coin decided to dispense with the Thiel detec-
tive service entirely. then transferred to the
Kansas City office. Before left Nebraska Palmer
called me into his Office and told that he would
like to have resign my position with the Thie]
agency and assist him in his work of fighting the
League.
He said that if everything worked out rs he
planned we could get rich from the money we.
could collect from the operation. He outlined a
plan to organize a national association to oppose
the League and to collect money from every state
where the League was organized He told me he
had already written letters to persons in South
Dakota and Minnesota. He promised to raise my
wages if would stay with him.. knew, however,
of his reputation of being financially. irresponsible
and McGrath had told me that there pros
poets of Palmer being eliminated and the Thiel
agency again taking up the investigation.

Kansas Citv. M

Kansas City, Mo-.
Dear Sir: Yours of the 12 inst. at hand. I
note what you say in regard to Operative
Moore calling on Palmer and others and agree
with you that this is not altogether for the
best, but personally I do not think that this
is altogether Moore's fault. AS matter of
fact, am inclined to believe that the client is
trying to take this operation entirely out of
my hands. Different things have happened
here in Omaha which have convinced me that
Palmer is not to be trusted. Palmer makes
regular trips to Lincoln to see Moore, and as
far as l can see there is no way to- avoid this.
But tomorrow I shall have talk with Joe
Barker, Corliss and Mr.. Davis and as you sug-
gest will call on L. E. Hurtz Of Lincoln. Per-
sonally feel that Moore is all right and fully
believe that he will remain loyal to the service.
Palmer, however, has political ambitions and
Of course can not be trusted, but I shall keep
close check on all his movements and assure
you that he will not get away with anything
on this end of the line.
Very respectfully,

Dear Sir: I am in receipt of letter from
General Agent McGrath in which he says the
client has asked you to take from the League
offices copy Of their membership lists. AL
though we would like to please this client and
do any and everything for him that we can,
I suggest that you make some other arrange
ment regarding this membership list Try, if
possible, to obtain the names few at time
In this way we may be able to satisfy the
client and at the same time not put the service
in a compromising position. Our st. Paul Of
flee has been conducting an operation similar
to this one, and it is my understanding that
they have had considerable success by work.
ing through the janitor. If you are careful
and use good judgment, you may be able to
accomplish something along these lines in Lin
coin. This is merely suggestion, however.
An operative must work these out to the best
of his ability, and in this case I am going to
leave it entirely up to you, but remember, do
not place either the service or yourself in
compromising position.
Respectfully,

Beghtols office when the council of war met, but I
saw him several times after that. A day or two
after this meeting, Gooch came to with Begh-
tol and wanted to know whether I knew where
organizer named j. w. Bissell and another
named Bowen working. told him that both
were working Alliance, Neb. Gooch replied
that he would send man or two out there to run
them out of Nebraska. I saw Mr.. Gooch again
the next day and he told me that he had sent
two to Alliance and had hired other persons
who would ''take care" of Bowen and Bissen. He
said that was dangerous part of the state for
League organizers.

On another occasion Gooch came to me laughing
oves having had to admit that he had contributed
$50 toward the fight against the League.
ttIf Manahan only knew what I really contributed
he'd have something to talk about" Gooch de-
clared.
At the time of the state fair, Wolf, reporter
for the Star, called me on the telephone and
asked me to come to his home. had met Wolf
few days before in Beghto and Strode's Office.
I gave Wolf story about the League members
being dissatisfied and about League money being
sent to St. Paul. Just before left, Gooch came

claring that I did not
care to take any
chances Of getting in
to Jail. Palmer laugh
ed at my fears and re-
piled that the League
had no influence in the
courts and that he
could get me cleared
in any court. He said
that he and his clients
had succeeded in get
ting the public to, be-
lieve that the League
farmers were disloyal

Dear Sir: I attended meeting this after
noon at j. P. Palmer's Office Several business
men were present, including Joe Barker and
Corliss. These fellows, including Palmer him
self, deem it absolutely necessary that they
have the membership list of the Nonpartisan
league. This list, so Operative Moore says,
is kept at the Lincoln Office The client has.s
asked that we have operative take lists from
the office files. Personally, I think this is
rather an unwise move to make just at this
time. Not knowing what attitude you would
take in regard to this matter, have asked
the clients to wait until could hear from you.
Kindly advise me in regard to this by early
mail. Very respectfully,

League organizer, had
been bound over to dis
trict court, in Dundee
county. He said that he
had got the county
judge to bind him over
as the result of an
opinion he had got from
Attorney General Reed,
holding that organizing
farmers was a crime
under the state sedition
act.
"That opinion ought
to be pretty good, be-
cause I wrote it N.Y.
Self" Beghtol boasted.
He was very anxious
to learn what fees
Flansburg and Soren-
sen got for fighting the
case for the League. I
told him I understood
they got $500. Beghtol
was very much inter-
ested in the primary
campaign. He said
that he was a close
personal friend of Nc
Kelvie and wanted him
to win in the primary.
He said Howell was
the most dangerous
man in Nebraska, and
if she got the nomina-
tion McKelvie and the
rest of them would be
beaten. He declared
that something must
be done, and he wanted
me to help him in
framing" something
on Howell. He got up
a letter, couched as
though it came from
the League headquar-
ters, and Involving
Howell with League af-
fairs. He wanted me
to write it on League
stationery and get o.
son, a League official, to
sign it without knowing
what it was. However,
before I had the oppor-
tunity to ask Olson, to
sign the letter, Howell
withdrew from the
race. After. Howell
had withdrawn, Begh-
tol wanted me to get
the League to indorse
Bryan, because, he said,
Bryan would be much
easier to beat than
Neville.

Dear Sir: General Agent McGrath informs
me that you were in Omaha Sunday, June %,
riding about the city in an automobile with
J. P. Palmer. He also states that on this date
there was meeting of some kind held in
Palmer's office and that it was arranged that
you introduce certain parties to the League
officials at Lincoln. It seems to me that your
pastSsxperience would prove of some value in
matters of this nature. In the first place,
you know better than to be seen in company
with the client; in the second place, you know
enough not to agree to do anything which
would in any way place, either yourself or the
operation in jeopardy. In the present instance,
you have shown very poor judgment in both
cases. In future insist that you interview
client only in the presence of General Agent
McGrath. Kindly govern yourself according
to these instructions
