Request Summary: Investigation in deaths of Bramwell and Edward Heffernan (Daniel Perry Sampson arrested). Reference: RG18-F-7, RG18-F-5; and Reference: RG18-F-2, RG18M 967001, RG18-B-5. I am requesting all records related to the investigation and arrest of Daniel Perry Sampson for the deaths of Bramwell and Edward Heffernan (deceased July 19, 1933). This includes the entire investigative file as well as all notes and records by the investigating officers who were all Members of the RCMP in the Halifax, Nova Scotia detachment ('H' Division, Halifax dockyards and Halifax Sub Division) during the period including 1933 and 1935. The investigation into the deaths of the Heffernan boys commenced on or about July 19, 1933 and records reasonably exist up until Daniel Perry Sampson's execution on the morning of March 7, 1935 and possibly a month thereafter. The records are most likely held in the Halifax "H" Division operational records and/or the Criminal Investigation Branch records of the RCMP (RG18).
