Dave here is a tidbit out of one of the books I reccomended to you,"Oklahoma Justice" by Major (ret)Ron Owens..."Shortly before 2:00pm on Oct 17 1932 the police dispatcher broadcast a call for officers to respond to a shooting scrape at the corner of Frisco and Robinson (Oklahoma City). When officers arrived they saw a 1932 Chev coupe that had wrecked. Detective George Baker had E.A. Perry in custody. His partner Detective Charles Gerald "Jerry" Campbell was standing next to the wrecked car with a gun in each hand and blood all over his shirt. The blood was not his, it belonged to the dead man slumped in the driver's seat of the wrecked car,his head and body pierced by several bullets"....In May of 1934 Campbell and Clarence Hurt were given a one year leave of absence to "go hunting with the FBI".Campbell was issued FBI badge #278 (They reissue so it my well be still in service in the credential case of a SA today)........ This set is one of the true treasures ofAmerican Law Enforcement history....Congratulation on aquiring it and thanks for sharing with us..Tony.. Ps the book also has a photo of D. A. "Jelly" Brice on the cover with a RM in his hand.
