—_ Se of four drawers each. The names of various persons in connection therewith had been indexed in the beginning, but due to the pressure of other work this index had been suspended about siz months ago. Work is now progressing upon the complete indexing of thia file in order that proper reference may be mde to all reports contained thereins —~ The number of leads which have been set out for thia office and other offices have been extremely numerous. In the past it has been difficult to keep track of these leads. In order to obviate this situation there has been commenced a tickler system - an which a detailed account of leads, both in thia diatrict and outsidé, will be kept. Some time past I called the attention of the Division to the fact that apparently the file of the Kansas City Office on the Massacre case is not complete, due to the fact that various Field Offices communicated with the Division without furnishing thig office with copies of the correspondence. I consider it imperative in the conduct of future investigation and in the compilation of evidence that the Kansas City file contain copies of all communications and ail memoranda conteined in every Pield Office in the United Statea. The Division's attention is directed to the fact that the indiotment outstanding charges Conspiracy. The association of any of the defendants in any manner whatacever is competent evidence. It is quite possible that memoranda in various files in Field Offices in the United States contain evidence not now available to the office of prosecution. In connection with the furnishing of this office with copies of all communications in connection with thie case, I believe it would de advisable for other Field Offices that have instituted prosecution against any person for the harboring of any Fugitive in this case should keep this office fully advieed in report form,. or otherwise, regarding those prosecutions. An inapestion of the files of this office reflects thet this has not been the procedure in the past. Recently a communication haa been directed fron this, office to the Division suggesting the possibility of having Vi Miller placed in the same penitentiary with KethrynjKelley. Some Agent . of the Division, probably agent Andersen, should interview Kathryn Felley prior thereto to determine whether she would be in accord with this procedure. 4 letter from this office the other day omni tted @ suggestion on the part of Assistant Director Herold Nathan to a a ey a ala ae SD a Tail i Mt ei ate ae ee ee oe ee
