On the record
- Since 1916 — The Bureau summary at the front of his file (Vault, Part 01, p. 2) says he had been arrested on charges "from vagrancy to murder" but "has served only one sentence since 1916, that is, 18 months in Leavenworth" for income tax evasion.
- Undated — The same summary says his criminal activities centered on "the domination of labor unions beginning [with] Cleaning and Dyeing" (OCR; bracketed word added).
- 1950 — Louis Campagna told the Kefauver Committee (Part 5, p. 65): "I have known Humphreys for a few years."
- Undated — The FBI summary says "He is alleged to have participated [in] the recent campaign to elect JAMES HOFFA" as president of the Teamsters, "although no confirmation of this exists to date."
The summary on page 2 is undated, and its birth line is not legible in the OCR. Only Parts 01 and 25 of the file have been read; Part 25 holds no death record. No record on this page assigns him a rank, so family and role are empty.
