previously been submitted to the Division for analysis and comparison there with the known prints of suspects. Therefore, the prints were transmitted to the Division with Kansas City letter dated February 13, 1934, in which letter are set out the names and police or prison numbers of numerous ine dividuals who have at one time or another been mentioned as possible suspects in the instant conspiracy. It is desired that the fingerprints of those in- dividuals listed be compared with the photographs of the letent prints sub- mitted in order that it may be determined if any of those individuals listed were visitors at the address formerly occupied by Vernon ¢. Miller at 6612 Edgevale Road, Kansas City, Missouri, about the time of the massacre on Juné 17, 1933. It will be noted that the objects from which the latent prints were taken, especially the telephone and beer bottles, are such that any legible latent prints found thereon would have probably been placed within a comparatively recent period prior to the discovery of this evidence on or about June 29, 1933, and hence shortly subsequent to the date of the massacre, June 17, 1933. A review of the case file will reflect that numerous witnesses have tentatively identified various suspects as being perticipants in the — massacre. As stated erove, the individuals named in Kansas City letter a dated February 13, 1934, have been mentioned at various stages of the _ investigation as having been possible associates of Vernon C. Miller in this conspiracy. It is believed by checking the prints of these individuals aceiust the latent prints that it my be determined if any of these in- dividuals were at Miller's residence, above described, shortly subsequent to the massacre. This investigation being relative to an elleged con- spiracy, it would seem important to determine all possible associates in the conspiracy with Miller, and perticularly those individuals who were associated with him at Kansas City about the time of the massacre. It appears quite possible that in the event this requested comparison by the Division results in the identification with the letent prints of any of the individuals listed, thet such individuals should then be located, thorouzhly interrogated and their whereabouts immediately prior to and at the time of the masacre on June 17th be thoroughly checked.
