          Captain Brian M. Murtagh             February 12, 1975


          Dickerson, Mario Sabastian D’Amore, Mildred Stevenson
          Kassab, James Warner Paulsen, Jr., James Barthold MacDonald,
          and Judith MacDonald Alvey, footprints of Jeffrey Robert
          MacDonald and naming Pat Comisky, FBI #16345H, for com-
          parison.

                    Seventy latent fingerprints, twenty-eight latent
          palm prints, one latent footprint, and six latent impressions
          of value appear in 213 negatives and 245 photographs.  Seven
          of the latent fingerprints are from tips, sides, or lower
          joint areas of fingers.  Four of the latent impressions are
          either fingerprints or partial palm prints and two of the
          impressions are either fingerprints, partial palm prints, or
          footprints.  No latent impression of value appear in the
          remaining negatives and photographs.  The above totals
          include the latent prints of value previously reported in
          our Latent Fingerprint Section reports dated August 26, 1970,
          and September 10, 1970.

                    Seven of the aforementioned latent fingerprints
          were previously identified as fingerprints of Jeffrey Robert
          MacDonald as set forth in our reports of August 26, 1970,
          and September 10, 1970.  See an attached page for the results
          of the comparisons of thirteen additional latent fingerprints
          and three latent palm prints with finger and palm prints of
          Jeffrey Robert MacDonald.

                    Fifteen latent fingerprints, two latent palm prints,
          and one latent footprint have been identified as fingerprints,
          palm prints, and a foot impression of Colette S. MacDonald
          as follows:

                    One footprint, exhibit 1x1
                    Two fingerprints, exhibit 2x2
                    One fingerprint, exhibit 2x6
                    One palm print, exhibit 3x13
                    Two fingerprints, exhibit 3x22 and 23
                    Two fingerprints, exhibit 3x24
                    Two fingerprints, exhibit 3x25

                    One fingerprint, exhibit 3x26
                    One fingerprint, exhibit 3x27
                    One fingerprint, exhibit 5x16
                    One fingerprint, exhibits 5x17 and 5x19
                    One fingerprint, exhibit L-19
                    One fingerprint, exhibit L-23
                    One palm print, exhibit L-26

                    Two latent palm prints appearing exhibit 2x3 have
          been identified as palm prints of James Warner Paulsen, Jr.
          One latent fingerprint appearing exhibit 3x2 has been
          identified as a fingerprint of Richard Dennis Tevere.  One
          latent palm print appearing exhibit 3x3 has been identified
          as a palm print of David Harlan Dickerson.  Two latent palm
          prints appearing exhibits 3x7 and 8 have been identified as
          palm prints of Donald Rinzo Jeffery.  One latent finger-
          print appearing exhibit 6x1 has been identified as a finger-
          print of William Francis Ivory.  One latent fingerprint
          appearing exhibit 6x2 has been identified as a fingerprint
          of Hogan A. Rossi.  One latent fingerprint appearing exhibit
          L-13 and one latent fingerprint appearing exhibit L-25 have
          been identified as fingerprints of Ronald Howard Harrison.

                    The thirty remaining latent fingerprints, eighteen
          latent palm prints, and six latent impressions appearing
          exhibits 1x2, 2x5, 2x34, 3x1, 3x4, 3x6, 3x10, 3x12, 3x20,
          5x12, 5x14, 5x18, 6x4, 6x5 and 6, 6x7, 6x9, 7x1, 7x2, J ,
          L-24, P, S-1, S-2, M, Q, and Z were compared with the
          available inked prints of Jeffrey Robert MacDonald, Collette
          S. MacDonald, and with the available inked prints of 125
          individuals, whose names appear on the attached list, but
          no identifications were effected.  Conclusive comparisons
          could not be made in some instances because the inked prints
          are not fully recorded, including tiops, sides, lower joint
          areas of fingers and palm prints, and some of the copies of
          prints are not completely legible.

          Captain Brian M. Murtagh             February 12, 1975


                    Seven of the unidentified latent fingerprints and
          one latent impression were searched in our single fingerprint
          file, but no identification was effected.  The remaining
          unidentified latent prints lack sufficient pattern area
          necessary for search in this file.  Searches were not con-
          ducted in our main fingerprint file, inasmuch as the prints
          contained in this file are filed according to a classification
          formula derived from all ten of an individuals fingers.

                    Photographs of the unidentified latent prints
          have been prepared for our files and will be available for
          any additional comparison you may desire.

                    Should you desire the assistance of one of the
          FBI's fingerprint experts in the trial of this case, we
          should be notified in ample time to permit the necessary
          arrangements.  This report should be used, however, if
          legal considerations permit, in lieu of the appearance of
          our expert in any pre-trial action such as a preliminary
          hearing or grand jury hearing.  Our representative cannot
          be made available to testify if any other fingerprint
          expert is to present testimony on the same point, that is,
          that the impressions in question are identical.

                    Negatives of the inked prints of Jeffrey Robert
          MacDonald have been prepared and are being retained in our
          files.  The original inked prints are being returned and
          should be retained for possible use in the trial of this
          case.

                    The inked prints submitted by FBI, Charlotte,
          New York, and Albuquerque are being forwarded to FBI,
          Charlotte for retention.  The remaining specimens, together
          with the notes and correspondence pertaining to this case,
          which were also submitted, are being retained in the Latent
          Fingerprint Section until called for by a representative of
          your department.

                    The request to furnish transparencies, as well as
          the disposition of the photographic materials submitted with
          FBI, Charlotte communication dated November 13, 1974, was
          included in our laboratory communication to FBI, Charlotte
          dated December 14, 1974

                    The inked prints of Chaplain and Mrs. Kenneth
          Edwards mentioned in FBI, Charlotte communication dated
          November 1, 1974  have not been received to date.
