aS ie; el : eres + \ a rt t. ake — + I. oa: es ie eo lo -Se arrangements were made with the penitentiary authorities whoreby ‘the rule of registration of the vieiting parties (witnesses) would be waived when they are brought to the penitentiary to view these prisoners. Instead of thia practice the names of the witnesses will be handed to the Warden in a sealed envelope pre-e viously prepared at the Kansas City office end same will be kept in hie confidential file. It should be stated here that Mra. Margaret Turner, colored, of Olathe, Kansas, who is considered a very important witness in this case, waa found to be seriously i11 and now con- fined in the Bell Memorial Hospital, Kaneas City, Kansas, therefore, she would not be available at this time to view the prisoners. Also Walter Berry, a colored boy, who was witb Margaret Turner on the night of 6-16-33, and who might have seen parties implicated in thia oase at the Union Railroad Station at Kansas City, was brought to thie office on 10-18-33 where, after an extended inter- view, it was found that he could not possibly identify any prisoner or other party ae being implicated since he was asleep in the car . occupied by Mrs. Turner, parked near the Union Station on the night of 6-16-33. Therefore, he is not to be taken to the peni- tentiary to view the prisoners. : Wl FScacnaw W. F. TRAINOR, SPECIAL AGENT
