vcewld have been dcne as there vould have been nc shooting unless the man
hed Direc first. The chenees thot it wes net iller coming out of the
foertuent were remote indeed,
Of course, it is ver, easy; to criticize cfter en event of
this sort has transpired ind I appreciate, of course, the fact that hind-
siv:t is better then foresight, but I think this occasicn illustrates
the fact thot you can vcit too long and I feel thet this was the trouble
in this cese. I do not feel thet eny single fgent should be censured end
I Go not feel thet Agent Guincne, who epperentiy was in charge of the
plen cna of the szgents at the tine thet viller energed, is entirely to
Lbinse. I thinz thet bot Agents D. 0. Snith anc Guinine should shere
in cy responcibility for this fiasco. The; were both edvised of all: tae
civeusstances. The e final plen wes agreed upon between then. In other
vor.s, they were to have agent iiotesteen end irs, Rogers miizé the
identificstion. It would seen thiut after the name of Verne had bee: used
ever the teleyhone, thet efter the /gents lmer thet there was no other men
in this eportuent, and thet efter they had word thet litller would probsebly
ecne out to so slong with Bobb; iloore in her car, the; should heve had
enouzh assurance of the identity of Miller to proceed without 4 dangerous
dele; in svaiting en identifiration at close charters. This perticuler
decision on the »art of the men in charge of the metter, ana the fact thet
there wes not én cutonobile placed et a strategic point tc rollov the
nailer cur ure, te oy mind, the vitel errors in this particuler cese.
Respectrully,
Vv. W. Eughes.
Y.S. With reference to the list percgraph on ocge four of this mesorendu
criticising the feet thet the agents hed no eutonobile facing in the
carection vhich 2 czr vould normally tuke vhen stopping at the entrznce to
the Sherone spartaents, it is difficult tc determine fron the several
stetements subnitted in just whet direction the Agents had their eutonobile
facing on Gilt avenue. It is, hovever, cleer thet it wes fecing ina ~
direction cpposite to thet in thich Bobby Moore feced when she stopped
at the entrance to pick up liiller. The criticisa therefore is e,uelly
effective no netter on which side of the street the Agents were perked.
They shoulc certainly heve hed cars parked in both directions, reat to
leeve et & moment's notice.
