DC Police Blotter

[L Verge]

I used to have a contact person there who was acting as the Department's historian. They have set up an impressive little museum, I understand. This person also told me that the John Parker files may still be in the hands of a long-retired officer who rescued them from the trash. If you decide to pursue this, I'll give you the officer's name - but not sure he's still with that position.

I forgot to mention that Surratt House was able to supply the Metropolitan Police Department with a lot of information on A.C. Richards. They knew very little about their superintendent during that time. Luckily, Gary Planck, Richards's biographer, was a member of the Surratt Society for years.
