  Background report on Charles H. Parker: incomplete copy

  Manuscripts

  Typescript background report on engineer Charles H. Parker commissioned by an unknown party and on letterhead of the "International Bureau of Criminal Investigation. North America Branch." The document is undated, but presumably dates to about 1897, the year of Parker's death and the last date referenced in the work (Page 18). According to the report, Parker was a draughtsman who passed himself off as a bridge engineer and building inspector, among other professions. The veracity of the report, which is incomplete and it ends in mid-sentence on the 27th page, has not been confirmed.
