MEMORANDUM TO ACTING SPECIAL AGENT IN CHARGE D. 0. SNITH:
On October 31, @ telephone call was received by me et the of-
fice from John }Madala, who had been stationed in Room 207 of the Sherone
Apertments, and Madela advised that a man fitting the description of Miller,
es far as size was concerned, had arrived at the apartment and had been greeted
by Bobbie Moore, a friend of Vivian's, in the apartment, at which time Bobbie
Moore had thrown her arms around him and kissed him, Bobbie had said to
this person that Vivian was giving a party in her apartment end asked him
to come down to her apertment, Room 101, and that she would advise Vi that
he was there. At this time Bobbie seemed extremely excited and indicated
that she hed not seen this party for some time. Madala further stated that
the party was wearing glasses with emall shell rims, end also had e sandy
colored mustache, but that he believed that the party did resemble verne
Miller.
Inmediately on receipt of this information and after conference
with you, I proceeded to the Sherone Apartments with the two police squeds
assigned to this office, whose nemes will be set out hereinefter, and also
vith several agents whose names will hereafter appear. A survey hed pre-
viously been made of the hotel by agent Keating, and the equads were instructed
to m@intain a position on Galt avente, to cover the Galt avemue entrame to
the Sherone Apartments and also to cover an area way at the end of the eapart-
ment, opening on to Galt Avenue. ‘hree Agents were also placed in a car op-
posite the Sherone apartments on Sheridan Roed. Each squad car and the
Agents were equipped with machine guns, shot gums end all Agents were armed.
The squads also had tear gas bombs.
1 proceeded to Apartment 207 with some Agents and on arrival agent
Nedala confirmed his telephone information and said that there was a good
possibility that the person he had seen was verne Miller, but thet he could
not definitely say so. At this time Mrs. Rogers, stenographer in the office
who is persmally acqueinted with yerne Miller, having cane fram the .sene
town, Huron, South Dakota, was brought to the epertnent and took up 4 posi-
tion in the kitchenette of the apartment, which had a service door opening
on the corridor, leading to Vivian's epartment. A short time previous to
this, defore our arrival at the apartment, Madale informed me that Miller
hed come up to apartment 211 fram Apartment 101, with Bobbie, and that Bobbie
hed made tw or three trips between her apartment on the first floor am 211.
An arrangement wes made whereby Mrs. Rogers would be maintained in the kit-
chenette with one Agent, so és to be able to notify us the minute she made
an identification of anyone coming out of Apartment 211.
