Miller, 6612 Edrevale Road, Kansas City, Kissour1, tog*ther with a list of susvects, whose finger- prints it wes requested be compared with the latent prints.

Horever, these latent nrints were taken from a telephone, a clock and several beer bottles. It would be improbeble thet Favm's prints would be found on any of the objects axcert poa- sibly on a beer bottle, if he were held captive et Miller's resi- derce.
