You are advised that I conferred with Special Agent in Charge John H.

Faulding which would cause him to believe that Jack Morgan was an addict or a user of any kind of narcotics I so interviewed Wm. Fleet Palmer, Assistant U.S. district Attorney, who handled this case before the U.S. Grand Jury and he, likewise, stated that no evidence was presented which would indicate that Jack Morgan was a marihuana user.
