He stated that the ex-nzanager's daughter-in-laer, who has been involved with ganeeters for a long tine, is employed in thie apartment house, sometimes rorking on the switchboard; that all calls go through the switchboard, rhich would make it difficult to do any tapping; that in this connection they may need the services of Agent Nichols. I told him this would be all right, lr. Smith suggested thet Agent Madala rent an apartment in this building, there being one vacant which would be iceel for the purpose, and that there is also a second floor apartment across the street rhich would be ideally Bsituatec. I advised hin this would be all right. Mr, Smith seid they lmow of only one man there who knors both Verne and Vi Miller well, and thet it might be necegsary to cell on one of the Agents in Ner York rho knors the Willers to identify them. He does not deem it wise to advise the Chicage informant as yet. RECORDED & INDEX NOV i- 933
