are reported to be in Louisiana to do some"dirty work"
in connection with

absolutely nothing definite, and it appeared that they just more or less
wanted confirmation

around Savannah, Georgia, as It is also reported
that in the Fall of 1935, he s Ou
ed aFederal Agent, near
Charlotte, North Carolina, was arrested and indicted, but never
tried.

Investigation by the Charlotte &#39;

and Atlant f ai 15 to
corroborate any of the information that ormerly
operated in that section, and that he wa vo the shooting
of a Federal Agent.

Attempts have recently been made to close the Lookout House, which
have resulted because of the fact that the Lookout House is regarded
as an undesirable establishent. Efforts have also been made to
rescind their liquor license.

Inasmuch as no information has been revealed that Subjeot is wanted

for a violation of any Federal law, no further investigation will
be made of this matter, and the ease will be elosed, subject to
being reopened, if additional information is received at a later
date-

At present there are known

no gangs or mobs
or hoodlums operating as
such in Detroit. Detroit, tour or tire years ago, was the headquarters ,
for the notorious Purple Gang that operated tor awhile and controlled_
sgreat nutter oi illicit and semieillicit actititiescin this asst
Du ing its operation the Purple Gang controlled such things as the &#39; &#39;
ma tindustry, liquor labels, breweries, whiskey smuggling, dope, etc.
However, this gang was dissolved through the activities of the Detroit
Police Department and its remnants, if-not in the penitentiary, have
become engaged insuch activities handbooks,
as big money gambling, the
numbers racket, and like operations. &#39;

The original head of the Purple Gang, ABE BERNSTEIN, presently resides
at the Book Cadillac Hotel, Detroit, Michigan, and receives a very sub-
stantial income from the race track wire service inDetroit. Inrormstion
indicates that several years ago, when he had his Purple Gang together,
he muscled in on
the wire service as it was conductedthen and has J
maintsined&#39;his interests sufficiently to force the ANENBERG interests
to pay him
a rake oft. AB&#39;s two brothers, JGE and IZZIE BERNBTEIN,
