RE: GENE MORRIS DAVIS, suspect

---

On 12/7/71 SAC MATTSON called from Portland and advised that captioned individual, whose automobile license and driver's license would indicate he had an address of 10622 8th N.W., and was associated with the busines office of the Seattle Times, was in Yamhill, Oregon, where he bought a cashier's check in the amount of $7,350, paying for it with $50 and $100 bills, payable to [REDACTED].

He was born 9/27/16, is 5'9" tall, weighs 180 lbs., has blue eyes and wore glasses. He had a substantial amount of more money sticking out of the pockets of a tweed suit.

He asked that we check to see whether or not DAVIS would have this much money and whether he has been with the Seattle Times.

AFTER talking to [REDACTED] of the Seattle Times, I called and advised that DAVIS formerly worked for them as a mail clerk and a multilith machine operator, but when they found that he was using their mailing machine for his own use and thereby defrauding the company, he was fired. His current address is P.O. Box 653, McMinnville, Oregon.

[REDACTED] described DAVIS as some kind of a nut, who was selling some health-type apparatus, pretends to be a lecturer on hypnosis and allegedly had developed a cure for heart diseases. He is a former professional football player [handwritten: and] and at one time owned a small paper. [handwritten: 164-81-834] Neither [REDACTED] had any knowledge as to any source of funds in this amount for DAVIS. I furnished this information to SAC MATTSON in Portland on 12/6/71.
