The above-mentioned handwriting specimens were obtainedfrom HAMPTON while he was being interviewed in connection withinstant case and the letter was in his possession at that timeand is being forwarded inasmuch as it is believed that it presentsa better specimen for comparison since HAMPTON appeared to be tryingto disguise his handwriting while writing the specimens l -¢ 8b.It is requested that the Laboratory compare the handwriting sub- 'mitted herewith the the handwriting appearing on specimens Q1,Q2 a;q1&qQ,3 submitted in co ection with this case formerly entitled,"J0 OGERS; Mrs. mAm mS, Victim; EXTORTION Bureau File9-7088!" referred to in Isaboratory report #39,'705 dated January 9,1941.

or spelling was indicated to him any way except as hereinafternoted. It might also be noted that HAMPTON in preparing thesespecimens wrote rather slowly and shakily and that in specimen #1HAIQZPTON was told to capitalize Europe the second time it was writtenand was told to write out the "President" in President ROOSEVELT.
After writing specimens #1 and #2, HAMPTON -was interviewed furtherbefore writing specimens #3a and #3b and it was noted during thedictation of #38. and #3b that HAMPTON hesitated after writing ~"Dec." before writing "5"; that he questioned the use of "this"in the phrase "this blind guides"; that he questioned the meaningof the word "rornicator"; that he said the letter read like thespeeches of Senators NYE and WHEELER; that he attributed the .writing of the letter to one ISAAC KIBSER upon hearing the passageabout the engineers in New York City; that when -the end of theletter mentioning JOHN ROGERS was dictated, he then attributedthe letter to ROGERS. In the dictation of #8b it should be notedthat the passage "but by the engineers in NYC" was dictated exactlythat way, rather than as "New York City." S
It should be noted that subject HAMPTON is apparentlyinsane to some extent and was committed on April 18, 1941, toBellevue Hospital for observation and that he is presently under$1,000.00 bond in instant case. A
There is also transmitted herewith a copy of the finger-prints of HAMPTON, and it is requested that the single fingerprintsection compare these with the latent fingerprints available in _instant case.
It might be noted further that the New York field -division is now in possession of handwriting specimens and 'fingerprints of JOHN ROGERS of Bellmore, L. I. who formerly wasconsidered as a suspect in instant case, but in view of HAliPTON'sapparent responsibility, these handwriting specimens and finger-rprints are not being forwarded to the Bureau at thepresent timeand are being placed in New York file 9-581.
When the two�page letter and envelope addressed toMARGARET E. CUHMINS have served their purpose, these items and thecalling card of HAMPTON should be returned to the New York division.
i Very truly yours,
