So fer as can be ascertained the writing on neither of these cards is that of Miller. However, they are being retained.at the Detroit or- fice for possible future reference.

He admitted being on duty at 4:28 AM., on 10-2)-35, and said that in the course of hie duties he would — moe " have received all telephone calls at Cadillac 6310 or the Royal Palm Hotel, -’ S “t ” He cleimed thet he could not recall eny perem fran Chicago calling the Hotel ~- on this particuler morning, but mhen the neme Hayes wae mentioned te him he de- scribed in detail the inquiry which had been made by Special agent in Charge = - Larson, -the night before. Apparently, he was attempting to give any an ) din his possession. The milly — inaccuracy was that, according to his manory, the long distance telephone opere- tor fran Chicago the night before had called the lest time tetween 2:00 and §:00 A.

He offered this as an excuse for the alleged fact that about that hour of the morning he pays NMttle attention to the calla received, beyond making the necessary roan connections. Arenson stated that there 1s eanething familiar about the photo. grec of Vernon Miller, but after some thought he believed this might | be due to the resemblence of Miller to Colonel Lindbergh. . . = ai “ qhe hotel recorde showiig nemes of all guesta ‘et the “Royal Palm” Hotel on 10-21-33 were then produced and one by one each party wes considered ~ by Arenson.
