# Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd Summary (FBI Vault, Part 01, Final)

Canonical: https://mobfiles.org/items/fbi-vault-floyd-summary/

A 17-page FBI summary file on Charles Arthur Floyd: a cover, a letter to the Director setting out his criminal record from a 1925 highway-robbery arrest, and a later "case write-up" on the Kansas City Massacre. A copy of the cover is stored here.

The Vault's Floyd file has one part, 17 pages. Page 1, stored here, is the release cover: "Charles 'Pretty Boy' Floyd, Summary." Pages 3 and 4 are a letter to the Director setting out Floyd's criminal record, beginning with a September 16, 1925 arrest for highway robbery. Page 7 transmits to Hoover an "interesting case write-up concerning the Kansas City Massacre case," and pages 8 to 17 are that write-up.

The transmittal date on page 7 is not legible in the viewer's text layer, and the write-up's text is heavily degraded; neither is quoted here. The date range given above is the research's reading of the part, from the 1925 arrest to a 1940s transmittal, and is approximate at its later end.
