the police e complete description of Miller. I hed not yet talked to Agents
Lockerman and Rice, who were stationed at the Galt Avenue entrance, nor to
4gent Smith, who was atationed in the lobby, and I am informed that other Agents
and officers have given the details of what took place after they rushed out
of the apartment.
After the police alem had been made, I instructed Agent Keating
to immediately proceed to the office and dig out all known haunts in Chicago
of Miller, and I accanpanied police aquads to the vicinity of where the car
had been abandoned, at which time I was informed that the Auburn Coupe, with
the woman driving, had run to the ‘dead end of Vista Terrace, which was five
or six blocks from the Sherone Apartments, and that a man had jumped out of
the car, leapad over a fence and ran through the back yards toward Clarendon
*aAvenue. At this time fifteen or twenty radio squads were combing cellars and
bushes in the vicinity where Miller Jumped, and other squads rere checking
néarby hotels and hospitala.
I later observed the car, which I was informed had been abandoned
by Bobbie after she had turned the cer around on Vista Terrace and had driven
approximetely one block and at which place I observed the Auburn Coupe, and
found one small piece of glass with blood stain, but the blood was on the edge
of the glass and indicated that Bobbie had been cut by flying giasa when the
windshield crashed from the bullets. This particular blood stained piece of
glass was found directly under the driving wheel. J observed the back end of the
car and found the following bullet holes, all of which apparently were from
chine gun manned by porecant Kempster; or possibly from the guns of Agent
Hitnois or Officer Freemuths
i. This bullet penetrated the license plate attached above the
left rear fender, punctured the left rear fender and the left
rear tire, deflating same.
2. This bullet went through an automobile trunk on the rear of the
Auburn, entering at the rear end and emerging at the front end
of the trunk, and hit the cover of the rumble seat, ricochetting
off this and penetrated the rear curtain of the convertible coupe
immediately behind the driving wheel, and apparently emerged
through the windshield.
3. This bullet went through the left frame of the car, directly op-
posite the rumble seat cover, and buried itself in the cushion
behind the driver's seat at about the location of the kidneys
of anyone driving. This bullet did not penetrate through the
cushion.
4. This bullet hit the top of the rumble seat, ricocheted off and
Went through the canvas top of the car.
