[Specimens/evidence] Available at the Bureau:

Q43 Photocopy of three U. S. twenty-dollar bills bearing serial numbers L 54984730 A, L 33528727 A and L 20160877 A

Specimens received from FBI, Seattle 4/27/72:

K4 One roll of microfilm of ransom money

ALSO SUBMITTED: Three photocopies made from microfilm of ransom bills bearing serial numbers L 54984730 A, L 33528727 A and L 20160877 A

Result of examination:

The bills represented by Q43 were compared with corresponding bills represented by K4. In the comparison, photographic overlays of the Q43 bills showed the serial numbers on these bills to be out of register with the serial numbers on the K4 bills.

The examination definitely determined that the Q43 bills are not a part of the ransom money represented by the K4 microfilm.

K4 is returned herewith. Appropriate photographs made from K4 and the ALSO SUBMITTED items are retained.
