machine prints stamp numbers assigned to SCHEPPS. After stamping,

the cigarettes are loaded, trucked to Dallas where part load

is taken by SCHEPPS and the reminder is then taken to Houston,

Texas, to MAIR SCHEPPS, brother of ABE SCHEPPS. DL-34-C has

reported that one EDWARD LEON THOMAS, aka. E. T. THOMAS; FBI
