Dear Phog:

This is to answer your letter concerning our conversation on the
way back from Norman in the winter of 1940 with reference to
Allie Paine and Ug Roberts. As I remember, the facts in con-
nection with that incident are substantially as follows:

some time during the early part of the year 1959 or latter part
of 1938, while I was Police Chief here, I was riding one night
on a tour inspection with one Capt. Wallace Carel, who was then
in canmand of the scout car division of the Police Department.
As we were cruising over the City a radio call came out report-
ing an attempted high jacking of a drug store delivery boy and
giving the tag number of the car in which the assailants were
riding.

Capt. Carel and I went to Police Headquarters and checked on this

tag number and found the address where it belonged. We went to

this address, which as I recall was somewhere on West 2nd or 3rd
Street, and learned that the car had been taken by a boy who was

either a member of the family or lived at the same place as the

owner of the car, but that the car had been taken without permission.
At this address we found a boy who admitted being out in the car

and admitted being in the vicinity of the supposed attempted high

jacking with three or four other boys, but he denied any attempted
high jacking. He gave us the names of the other boys who had been
with him and stated that he had just left them at their respective

homes a short time before.

One of the names which he gave us was that of Allie Paine with an
address as I recall somewhere in the 100 block on East 5th Street.

I did not know the Paine boy personally, but because of his being

an outstanding athlete I did know who he was. I do not recall the
DEFENSE name of Ug Roberts being in that picture, but it is possible

he may have been one of the other boys involved. However,

BUY do not recall his name in connection with this incident.
