He pointed out that this 1s probably a "phony" since all \ prisoners have their mail addressed to Box 1476, Alcatraz, California, and this address is indelibly stamped in their mind. San Francisco communication to the Director dated June 18, 1962, forwarded this communication for handwriting comparisons with the Escapees. A communication received from the Bureau dated June 21, 1962, advised that the handwriting on the postcard was not written by CLARENCE ANGLIN. The signatures of JOHN WILLIAM ANGLIN and FRANK LEE MORRIS, as listed on the fingerprint cards maintained in the Identification Division, Washington, D. C., were not sufficiently comparable writings to permit a detailed comparison with the printings on the postcard; however, nothing of particular significance was noted during the comparison of the writings on the postcard with the fingerprint signatures of JOHN ANGLIN and FRANK LEE MORRIS.
