Major W.G. Moore,

Superintendent Metropolitan Police,

Washington, D.C.

 

Dear Sir:

 

In accordance with your letter of May 3^rd I beg to report that a careful microscopical and chemical examination has been made of the stain on the shoe which was left with me this morning by one of your detectives. The result of these examinations prove that these are not blood stains.

 

Very respectfully,

 

Walter Reed

Surgeon, U.S. Army

Curator

 

Tune in tomorrow for the Police response.
