a
western side of the reservation, in such position that this growth
extends into the reservation so that a person could get much closer
to the landing field of the Hindenburg than the situs of the foot-
print impressions. The terrain on the western side of the reservation
affords ne protection whatsoever. There is some small shrubbery which
is practically leafless, and affords no protection or cover whatsoever.
On May 7, 1937 photographs were taken by Special Agent in
Charge Vetterli and Acting Special Agent in Charge Devereau of the
footprint impressions referred to by the investigators of the Senate
Investigating Committee, as well as measurements of the feotprint in-
pressions, and measurements which will indicate their exact location
and dimension as to their relation with the fence lining the western
side of the reservation. These photographs are presently being en-
Jarged, and at such time as these enlargements are forwarded to the
Bureau the details as to dimensions and measurements will be forwarded
therewith so that a clear picture can be had of the location and din-
ensions of the footprint impressions themselves.
On May 10, 1937 Special azent in Charge Vetterli, accompanied
ty Special Agent (a) We. D. Fay, again made certain examinations at
Jakehurst. Twelve additional photographs were made by Special Agent
in Charge Vetterli of the gate leading inte the western part of the
reservation showing two footprints just inside the reservation. These
photographs of the footprints on the western side of the reservation
ere being enlarged by the New York Field Division and will be approp-
riately marked and forwarded to the Bureau at an early date. Several
of the photorraphs taken on May 10th show the féotprints after the
plaster paris cast was placed inthe impression in order that their
location might be more discernible in the photograph. In addition
thereto, on a road that leads from the Western gate of the reservation,
approximately 1100 feet towards the hangar, there was pointed out ad-
ditional footprints, Plaster paris caste were made of sore of these
prints by Special Agent in Charge Vetterli, assisted by Special Agent
(A) W. D. Faye The photographs and the impressions definite y indicate
that the footprints in one instance were made by an individual who
wore either rubbers or goulashes. One cast made is quite clear and
bears a portion of the trade name on the bottom of the imprint, which
may possibly be properly interpreted by further study. These casts
temporarily are being retained at the Newark Division office.
A farther detailed report will be submitted to the Bureau on
the photographs made and on the casts in question just as soon as the
enlargements are perfected of the photographs by the New York Field
Division.
