Tells of Work of FBI
D. T. Ladd, of Chicago, director of
that district of the FBI, one of the
most important assignments of the
bureau, was present as the represent
ative of J. Edgar Hoover and gave
the principal address of the evening.
Mr. Ladd stated that he was grati
fied at being able to be present to
add his part and to bring the personal
greetings of J. Edgar Hoover to the
Cass county law officers. He was
proud and happy to add his tribute to
the fine work that the Sylvester bro
thers had rendered not only to their
community but the nation at large.
Their act showed courage, devotion
to duty and the spirit of co-operation
with others in stamping out crime.
Mr. Ladd held the closest attention
of the audience as he detailed a part
of the program of educational work
in the training of law enforcing offi
cers that is conducted by the FBI.
The speaker told of the work of the
ballistic section of the bureau, the
careful examination made of all fire
arms and bullets and which had made
possible the solution of several
crimes, one of a shooting in Alaska
being dramatically told by the speak
er. He also told of the great finger
print bureau where the prints of
7,000,000 criminals and persons that
have been arrested are kept on file.
Ladd pointed out that there have
never been found two sets of finger
prints alike, that many criminals had
submitted to operations to remove
their prints but as in the case of John
Dillinger, this had been unsuccessful.
Mr. Ladd detailed the work of the
FBI in the roundup, killing or con
viction of the members of the Parker
Karpis gang of kidnapers and who
had been traced all over the nation
until Karpis had been captured in
New Orleans.

of all citizens in the checking of
