Lemay, Assistant to the President of Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Co., recalled when prompted by Senator Lafollette that Pinkerton detectives had frequently called on the company but that their services were employed.

Carleton (Pinkerton detective) to another detective that Lemay had told him privately that Owens had been taken on "fishing trip" and "worked on"
