On 12/1/71 SA [REDACTED] contacted [REDACTED] at [REDACTED] in which [REDACTED] has an interest.

[REDACTED] was exhibited two pictures of ALLEN and one each of BURNWORTH and [REDACTED] with seven throw down photographs.

[REDACTED] viewed these pictures from 9:11 pm to 10:12 pm and eliminated them all.

After the initial viewing, [REDACTED] went back and studied the pictures of ALLEN 12 times (the old King County Sheriff's Office photograph No. 61308) and the Washington State Driver's License picture (expires 9/25/72) three times; the picture of BURNWORTH five times and that of [REDACTED] times.

He commented that ALLEN's face from the upper lip upwards bore some resemblance to the unsub; BURNWORTH's jaw line, cheeks and nose bore some resemblance, and [REDACTED] hairline bore a close resemblance. He commented the picture of [REDACTED] was "too severe." He eliminated all three suspects.
