At that time Agent Donaghue advised me that he did not have sufficient film holders and requested 1-' ,-»_. advice as to what disposition should be made of the exposed films, 1 I . at which time I instructed him to place them in some dark container i- 92 such as a dark envelope and if necessary, to use sevenalin£;tham;- one inside From of what the other.Ihave since abolt learned ii§H£'riI¥é}E£g. , 'f , _,}IJN through coloredpaper, isit nodoubt probahle that_Ak|| Z this happened ' ' v, Run!

- . <'iv _-, a 5- . Reference is made to Bureau letter dated February 19, 1935, _ ,- relative to the development of latent fingerprints at 3 "' Cklawaha, Florida, in connection with the case entitled f.- Alvin Karpis, with aliases, Identification Order No. 1218, et al, Kidnaping. 1. v 1;; 4, 3»; It has been noted from the inforrntion contained in Bureau let- $2}: .- ter referred to that the method used in wrapping the exposed . £4.-, --, 3 Ff-;',i _f films taken in connection with the above case was not satis- factory. However, at the time the films were wrapped in the blue Postal Telegraph envelopes, three such envelopes were placed, one in the other, then one exposed negative was placed .., ' . 4 in the inside envelope, and finally the entire group solzandled was placed in one large manilla envelope, all of which operation took place in a dark room. There was no other method or means of handling same available at the time. While undoubtedly the method suggested by the Bureau would be eminently more success- L" ful, it was thought at the time that sufficient protection was .¢ being offered these films to entirely exclude light rays. Subsequently a test was made by the writer, using similar types w-'. of envelopes to wrap an exposed film in. The film used was subjected to light rays of 100 watt desk lamp for a period of. fifteen minutes, following which the film was developed and _ printed, and it resulted in the successful printing of the film . '7" through the point where a classification or an identification A could be made of the print, in view of which fact it is thought that there is a possibility that the envelopes containing the |r' _,. Z _ films forwarded to the Bureau may have been inadvertently I . . {"1 " opened and exposed to the light by some person or persons in ,1 ' handling same. It is suggested by the writer that the test mur- print be forwarded to the Bureau, '

--. Mr. Whitley telephoned regarding the elusion of Frankyéoster from our Agents who were keeping him under surveillance last night at the 92.. Pennsylvania Station in New York City, and advised that last evening after =

1 they had returned to the office, he talked the matter over with the Agents, ; , and after all explanations are in, it boils down to the fact that they"merely . u'.."l.5 l ..»~ 1""?-1.;-"1 "92 lost him and that's all there is to it". Mr. Whitley said that while they .';-92 have been unable to definitely ascertain, it appears that Foster either took w K . . ; I;,.,_ " the 7:45 o'clock train to Cleveland of the 8:00 o'clock train to Philadelphia. 92 However, since it appears that Foster took no baggage with him, it is possible - ._ r» that he intends to be gone only a short time. _ 92 - 92 _';-2 1,11 . i Mr. Vhitley said that Foster did not return to his apartment last 3.1 :_-2., night; that the two women returned, but the other man with the party did not re- t _ turn to the apartment although it appears that he remained in New York.

Mr. Whitley 2=i?> said that two men uere covering this fellow, Agents Emory and UcGeary, which, in the opinion of Mr. Whitley was sufficient under the circumstances; that one of the : 1 Agents went in with Foster to the Station while the other covered the car outside; Fosterthat the was Agent lost. i ratched Foster while he was at the ticket i vindov if and_after M 'that, i . - Lit ii i .

Examination of the files in this office shows that two copies of all 1-4' ' the reports desired are available with one exception. Accordingly, one copy ~ »-» of such reports could be forwarded Cleveland. However, in view of the reported contemplated opening of a number of new offices, some of which will 1» probably require copies of the same reports, it is thought that the Bureau might consider it more desirable to have a sufficient number of multigraphed 4'6- : an copies of the reports which should be in the files of the various new offices prepared for distribution from the Bureaus If this suggestion is not considered desirable, it is requested that this office be advised in _.-.__.- ~.».,;_ , order that appropriate action may be taken as requested in the letter of the L Detroit office. 1, .~ 4 '3"--. >-»§ '. 1' > ___" Mni_n.; 373+-* Very truly yours, é92'A"J3/I RBN:B C7577v==~T»¢» OJ?! cc St. Paul R.

the pressure of work, the limited number of agents available to work on this case, and the fact that tho agents were constantly being drawn off the Bramer ¢ matter to work on the Dillinger case, it was considered advisable to discona tinue the tracing of the various articles, including the black handbag, £5. '1 ."" At the time that this matter was discussed with Special Agent in -.;.-c . . Charge M.H.Purvis there were numerous other leads in the Bremer case which, it '*.e~ .5.-c. . -_ - was felt, merited preferred attention, For this reason, no effort was made, dz that time, to trace the black handbag. _

~~"=;;s-tag Agent Mclntire advises that the work on the Bremer case, in Chicago, '3-.~;;_; remained so congested until approximately the latter part of J'une,l9-34,that it Qei was not possible to give attention to the tracing of the black handbge For this reason, no effort was made, at that time, to determine whether the same had been received at the Chicago Office, Agent Mclntire has advised me that during the V:-c=§§*1». I latter part of J92me,l954, he ceased to initial reports and letters for the file in view of the fact the; he was dispatched on regular investigative work, vhich continued until approximately January 16,1935, when he again commenced initialling reports and letters for filing and also writing reports in this case, . .;' .1.-a - ' .,,;. . ~/;__ I _"92.-,:~ .
