Department of Juatice bY - Washington, De Ce Dear Sir: RE: VERNON CAMILLER, Deceased, et al CONSPIRACY TO DELIVER FEDSRAL PRISONER Shortly after the massacre on June 17, 1933, when the house formerly occupied by Vernon ¢. Miller at 6612 Edzgevale Road, Kansas City, Missouri, Was discovered, a thorough search of the interior of the house Was made by Special agent J. E. Brennen, of the Division, with acting © Chief of Detectives Jack Jenkins of the Kansas City, Kensas, Police Department, in order to secure all available latent fingerprints thare. By the use of powiers applied by those individuale there were numerous 2,4 ‘\ 4 atent fingerprints brought out on various objecte in the residence, \ principally from beer bottles of dark colored gless, a French style % ~ telephone of black color and a clock of ailver metal finish with a round upon the discovery of the prints, The films, positive and negative, are a , vases Photographs of the latent fingerprints were taken immediately a nor in the possession of this office and are being transmitted tc the re xv Division for analysis io the laboratory. The objects fram which the ut 7 “? fingerprinte were teken will be apparent from the photographs. >. ‘ ye \ w After analysis it is requested that all films herewith trana- | ¥ \" w\a mitted be r‘turned to the Kansas City offices | fo The telephone and clock from which these prints were taken were of necessity returned to the premises immediately during June, 1933, The beer ba&tles which yielded latent fingerprintea are being carefully | preserved in the Kansas City office vault, properly identified, for the reason that this case is considered of such great importance that if they arz evar needed as evidence they should be available without any danger of disturbance to the letent fingerprints now visible. If these bottles were to be shipped to the Division for analysis they would be apparently great danger of injury to the latent fingerprints eucountered. The Keims City office has therefore not deemed aich procedure expediant, unless the Division dould specifically so instruct.
