INDEXED | 7 EWLOR CAT Gh sym OF te Dear Sir: o RE: VERNON C, MILLER({DECEASI CONSPIRACY TQ DELIVER FEDERAL PRISONER Please refer to my letter of March 13th relative to a certain“Essex terraplane sedan purchased at Kansas City, Missouri, by a party who was believei possibly identical with Vernon C. Miller. As noted, the question was not definitely determine as to who had purchas- ed the car because of the evasive attitude show by the salesman who sold the car, namely, Harry S.-Young of the Hudspn-Brace Motor Company at Kansas City and, further, in view of the inability of other employees of the company to make a positive identification.

Trainor, dated at Kansas City, Miseuuri, in this case, December 27, 1935, there is traced a chain of title from a Chevrolet coupe once in possession of Alvin Karpis to the car which was used as a trade-in on the Essex car, when the latter was purchased at Kansas City. On March 14th, in a further effort to establish the exact identity of the party who purchased this Essex car from the Hud- son-Brace Motor Company at Kansas City, Missouri, on April 15, 1933, Special Agents H. E. Andersen and W. F. Trainor had e further interview with Harry S. Young, now employed by the dtlaa Acceptance Corporation of Kansas City. Mr. Young was requested to come to this office and upon interview his first statement waa, “I thought that whole matter was cleared up, now since that fellow was killed.” He indicated then that he was referring to Vernon C. Miller as the perty killed, and when asked whether he knew thet Vernon C. Miller was the party who purchased the Essex car, he repeated that he was sure of the identity of Miller as the purchaser. He sought to cover himself at this time by stating that he had previously inforned the acents who interviewed him that Biller was the man, altho same is not the case, since he was interviewed on three guccessive occasions by Acente Trainor and H.D.Brey. He was GOPIES DESTROYED B7Q feu ly 1964 va
