RE: VERNON C, MILLER({DECEASI
CONSPIRACY TQ DELIVER FEDERAL PRISONER
Please refer to my letter of March 13th relative to a
certain“Essex terraplane sedan purchased at Kansas City, Missouri, by
a party who was believei possibly identical with Vernon C. Miller. As
noted, the question was not definitely determine as to who had purchas-
ed the car because of the evasive attitude show by the salesman who
sold the car, namely, Harry S.-Young of the Hudspn-Brace Motor Company
at Kansas City and, further, in view of the inability of other employees

Special Agents H. E. Andersen and W. F. Trainor had e further interview
with Harry S. Young, now employed by the dtlaa Acceptance Corporation
of Kansas City. Mr. Young was requested to come to this office and
upon interview his first statement waa, “I thought that whole matter
was cleared up, now since that fellow was killed.” He indicated then
that he was referring to Vernon C. Miller as the perty killed, and when
asked whether he knew thet Vernon C. Miller was the party who purchased
the Essex car, he repeated that he was sure of the identity of Miller
as the purchaser. He sought to cover himself at this time by stating
that he had previously inforned the acents who interviewed him that
Biller was the man, altho same is not the case, since he was interviewed
on three guccessive occasions by Acente Trainor and H.D.Brey. He was
