Summary:  
The documents detail FBI and Portland Police Department investigations into Rev. Jerry Owens (alias Harry Roberts) and his alleged involvement in white slave traffic, disorderly conduct, and improper cohabitation. Owens is linked to a victim, Frances McCarty, who was transported from Seattle to Portland for medical care and later charged with disorderly conduct following allegations of misconduct at the Mallory Hotel. The FBI sought information on Owens' criminal record, including aliases, while police conducted searches and gathered witness statements. Other records reference Oliver Brindley Owen (Jerry O’Hen), a Pentecostal preacher associated with "The People, Inc." and Victory Hour Broadcast, Inc., whose relationship with Evelyn Carson involved hotel stays, employment disputes, and allegations of misconduct. These cases include fragmented accounts of financial arrangements, legal proceedings, and FBI interviews with informants, hotel staff, and individuals such as Jean Kelly and Frank Richfeld. References to Social Security numbers are noted but redacted.
