various members of the crew informed Eokner that the passenger,
Joseph Spach, had two dogs that were maintained in the freight
roonn which is located aft, directly below gas cell number 6-
Further, that this passenger was allowed to go back and tend to
these dogs at irequent intervals, either to feed them, water them,
or merely to pet them, and on various of these trips he Ins not _
accompanied by a member of the crew. Eckner also related to
Rosendahl that one of the stewards, who has since returned to
Gerany, mentioned the fact that Joseph Spach appeared to him to
be unsympathetic to the airship travel and impressed him as being
a peculiar type of passenger; also that this individual remained
aloof from the other passengers and was not at all responsive to
the explanations of the crew regarding the various technicalities
of the airship itself. Commander Rosendahl stated that the only
information he had on Joseph Spach there at Lakehurst was to the
effect that he was supposedly a United States citizen, using an
American passport and that he had been treated at the Fitkin
Memorial Hospital at Asbury fhrk, New Jersey immediately after
the accident; that he had been discharged shortly thereafter and
had left, as his forwarding address, Douglaston, Long Island,
New York. For further information concerning the present where-
abouts of Joseph Spach, it is believed by Rosendahl that this would
be in the possession of Er. Rauber, who is a German citizen affiliated
with the Hamburg-American Steamship Line in New York City, which isone of the passenger gents for the[§me§ican;Zeppelin ? ansportCompany, which is theTAmerica.n Zeppelin Agency for the fernxa
zéisiis Transport Company. Commander Rosendahl state that he
had talked it over with the Board of Inquiry, which is headed by
South Trimble of the Department of commerce, and it had been de- .
cidod that Commander Rosendahl was to get in touch with me at the
Newark Field Division and request that an investigation.be made of
Joseph Spach to ascertain his background, as well as a little per-
sonal history concerning his recent trip from Germany to the United
States aboard the dirigible Hindenburg.
I was also informed by Commander Rosendahl that Joseph
spach is supposed to be an acrobat by profession and in connection
therewith Rosendahl stated that it would take a fairly active man
to climb the rigging separating gas cells h and 5 in order to gain
access to the gas shaft thatseparates these two chambers from the
axial girder to the top keel. It is the opinion of Commander

Rosendahl, as well as certain members of the Board of Inquiry,
that it Ins entirely possible that Joseph Spaoh might have placed
either an inflamable substance in the gas shaft in close proximity
with the maneuvering valve, or placed a timing device which would
have ignited the mixture existing in the gas shaft at the time that
the gas is valved off for landing purposes.
Upon receiving this information, I telephonically
commnicated with Er. Foxworth, of the Bureau, and related to him
the above information. In connection therewith, H. Foxnorth stated
that he would confer with the Director in connection with the instant
netter and would communicate with me telephonically as to what pro-
cedure should be followed in connection therewith.
Shortly after 5=50 p. m., Daylight Saving Time, I again
had telephonic contact with Er. Foxworth, of the Bureau, at which
time he informed that it was the opinion of the Bureau that the
investigation requested by the Board of Inquiry, through Commander
Rosendahl, should be conducted and that action should be taken to
obtain the necessary information that would reveal the background
of the passenger Joseph Spach. Also, at this time, it was brought
to the attention of Er. Foxworth that I had further conference with
Commander Rosendahl, at w oh time he had informed me that he hadtalked with Captain ErnstPiehmann,shortly after the accident,at the
hospital in Lakewood, New Je say, and at this time lehmann had in!formed him that he and Antoqpittemann had received a warning. The
particulars of this warning were not divulged to Commander Rosendahlby either Captain Lehmann or Captaintwittemann, but they had indicated
that they had received a warning the something was going to happen
in the stern of the Hindenburg on her initial trip to the United
States in the Spring of this year. According to Commander Rosendahl,
evidently both Captain Wittemann and Captain Lehmann, who is now de-
ceased! had confided this information concerning the Warning to the
appropriate representatives of the German ambassador in the United
States. Commander Rcsendahl also stated that lehmann had made a
definite statement to the effect that he was of the opinion that
an "infernal machine" had been the cause of the accident and that
the accident would have happened, no matter whether they had utilized
helium gas or hydrogen gas in the super structure of the Hindenburg.

Commander Rosendahl at this time suggested that it might be a good
idea for a representative of the Bureau to interview Captain
Wittemann, as he has been given to understand that all of.the members
of the German cren'would be ready and willing to cooperate with the
appropriate authorities of the Uited States in connection with the
sabotage theory.
Regarding the suggestion that_Captain Wittemann be inter-
viewed by a representative of the Bureau,Hr. Foxworth stated that
no action should be taken in connection therewith until further ad-
vice was received by me from the Bureau.
Special Agent Malone and myself again conferred with
Commander Rosendahl at Lakehurst at 5 p. m. on May 19, 1957, at
which time Commander Rosendahl stated that a further discovery
had been made that would help support the sabotage theory.
As has been related to the Bureau, in connection Idth
the instant case, in the communication dated May ll, 195?, forwarded
by Inspector E. J. Connelley, the authorities at Iakehurst had been
in communication with the Bomb squad of the New York Police Depart-
ment. For the information of the Bureau, Detective McCarthy of the
New York Bomb Squad, has been at Lakehurst and has conducted some
investigation of the ruins of the dirigible Hindenburg. Detective
KcCarthy has previously informed that

a fairly large quantity. Commander Rosendahl stated that it is the
intention of the Board of Inquiry to have a chemical expert test
this substance appearing on this valve head in order to definitely
ascertain whether or not it is sulphur or other like substance-
It will be recalled that the suggestion previously had
been made to Comander Rosennahl by Inspector E. J. Connelley that
it ndght be well for officials at Iakehurst to have an expert from
the Bureau of Standards come to Lakehurst and examine the ruins of
the dirigible in an effort to ascertain if any foreign substance were
present and if so, the nature of the substance. Commander Rosendahl
stated that a chemical expert was proceeding to lakshurst some time
during Bay 20, 1957 to conduct an examination of the foreign sub-
stance found by Doctor Duer on the valve head. It was not nnde
clear, at this time by Eommander Rosendahl, whether this expert was
proceeding from'Washington, D. C. and was a emloyee of the Govern-
ment, or whether he was an employee of the New York Police Depart-
ment who was being obtained by Detective McCarthy. Commander Rosen-
dahl stated that the finding of the foreign substance on the valve
head was a nutter of the utmost of confidence and that he did not
wish it to be known that he had allowed the Agents to view this piece
of evidence. In view of this fact, no further suggestions were made
to Commnder Rosendahl by Agent Helene and myself. Rosendahl stated
that it is Doctor Duer's opinion that the substance appearing on the
valve head is undoubtedly sulphur and if this is true, it would then
further lend credence to the fact that the cause of the accident
might have been sabotage, as in Doctor Duer's opinion, there was no
sulphur substance in the ship, and further that there was no substanc
that was yellow in color on board the ship-
For the informtion of the Bureau, at this time it is not
known whether the information concerning the passenger Joseph Spach
has been put in possession of the New York Police Department, nor
whether it is the general knowledge of the sub-committee that is
assisting the Board of Inquiry, of which Colonel Eartney is a
member. It will be recalled that Colonel hartney is a representa-
tive of the Copeland Investigating Committee at lakehurst and, as
such, has been appointed as a member of the sub-committee which is
supposed to function as technical advisers to the Board of Inquiry.
It is known, however, that the fact that this foreign substance has
been found on one of the valve heads has been put in possession of

the New York Police Department and th New York Police Department
has displayed a great deal of secret activity during the instant
date at Lakehurst, especially requesting private conferences with
the various naval personnel at Lakehurst in the presence of Agent
alone and nwself. _
For the Bureau's information, the investigation con-
cerning the ascertaining of the general background of the passenger
Joseph Spach is going forward and the Bureau will be kept advised
as to developments thereof.
At the_conc1usion of the interview with Commander Rosen-
dahl on the instant date, he informed that both he and his wife
had received confidential information from Mrs. lehmann, wife of
the deceased Captain lehmann, to the effect that 1ehmann's life
had frequently been threatened, as well as the destruction of the
German Zeppelin Transport Company. _Comnander Rosendahl informed,
in connection.with this, that he did not feel he should divulge
the information he had received from rs. lehmann unless it was
absolutely necessary, due to the fact that for him to do so would
be to violate a confidence.
For the Bureau's information there is being transmitted
herewith copies of a memorandum, dictated for the attention of
Inspector E. J. Connelley, by mself, dated May 16, 1957 and
hay 17, 1957, as well as a memorandum for the file which was sun-
mitted by Inspector E. J. Connelley under date of May 18, 193?.

This is to record the fact that on ay 11, 1937, I pro~
ceeded to Lakehurst, New Jersey, and contacted South Trimble, of the
Board of Inquiry representing the Department of Commerce, as well as
Commander Rosendahl, of the U. S. Navy. Neither of these inividuals
had anything on their mind insofar as this Bureau is concerned, and no
comment was made regarding the investigation being conducted of the catas-
trophe. I
on Hay 12, 1937, 1 proceeded to Lakehurst, New Jersey, in
company with Special Agent in Charge R. E. Vetterli. at approximately
11:00 a.m., we were approached by Colonel Hartney, investigator for the
Copeland Committee, and Hartney displayed a telegram which he had received
from Roger Williamson in Washington. Telegram requested that he, Hartney,
ascertain from Vetterli whether or not casts were made of the tracks in
the middle of the road on the western side of the reservation, and whether
or not they were traced from the fence on the western side of the reser-
vation he the marsh, eto., and suggesting that if this had not been done,
that it should be done immediately. Hartney also stated that he had
information from Commander Rosendahl that threw an entirely new light
on the accident, but that this information was confidential, and that it
had to do with the wife of a laborer who resides in the house located near
the old abandoned mooring mast. No comment was made to Hartney on this
occasion, other than the fact that we, as representatives of the Bureau,
were merely observing at this time.
Also, on may 12, conversation was had with South Trimble,
and he expressed the thought that he would appreciate the cooperation of
the Bureau insofar as having Agents of the Bureau interview the passengers
who were on board the ill-fated Hindenburg on Bay 6, and also take care
of any investigative activity growing out from these interviews. Mr.
Trimble was informed that this request would be conveyed to you and that
we would notify him as to the Bureau's reaction as soon as possible.

On Icy 13, we saw South Trimbls at 10:80 a.m., andi
informed hin that the Bureau was desirous of cooperating in every
way possible in matters that would be of mutual interest, and that
there could be made
him two Agents, and
work in cooperation
Trimble stated thatavailable for the investigation suggested by
that we would be glad to have these two Agents
with representatives c£_the Department cf Commerce.
after checking the situation, he found that there
were only four interviews left to be made and that the inspectors of
the Department of commerce could take care of this situation. He stated
he would let us know later in the day if any further assistance from the
Bureau was needed.
On May 12, at 2,00 p.m., Mr. Trimble stated to Vetterli
and myself that an examination of the wreckage had disclosed a broken
propeller in the middle of the ruins and that it indicated that this
propeller blade could have been thrown from the propeller shaft of
one of the motors into the superstructure of the ship and that this
could have caused the accident. He stated that they were contemplating
having the appropriate tests made of this propeller blade, in order to
ascertain if this theory could be verified.
He also said that he had witnesses that would testify
that there was a hole in the side of the Hindenburg before approaching
the mooring mast, etc.
on May 12, there were turned over to me by Colonel Hartney,
three letters that he requested to be o to cu. He stated that hehad shown the one letter signed by to General Von Beet-
tinger, who is representing the Ger ssa or, Hans Luther, at the
hearing, and that the General became quite excited and told him, Hartney,
that that was the right type of investigation to be made and that there
was undoubtedly sabotage connected with the accident. Copies of these
letters are attached hereto.

letters, the same being attached hereto. On this occasion, I discreetly
copied these letters and returned the originals to him.
He stated that he was of the opinion greater efforts should
be made to conduct a thorough search of the field and further that he
had talked with Senator Copeland,the Senator being of a similar opinion,
and further, that the Senator was quite put out because this had not as
yet been done. Hartney informed that he told the senator that the F,B,I,
was "working like the devil on the case. I immediately informed the
Colonel that our position in the matter was still that of observer, and
that if there was any request for activity on our part, it should be made
through the Board of Inquiry representing the Department of Commerce,
inasmuch as they had full responsibility at the present time, and that
upon the receipt of such request, it would be given proper consideration.
Hartney informed that he understood perfectly, but that he thought he
had to tell the Senator something.
At this time, he also said that he was of the opinion that
an explosive bullet that would leave no tracer had been used in causing
the accident, and that it was probably through the utilization of a
curved out lead bullet in which phosphorus had been placed, and that
as the bullet struck the girder in the superetrueture, the phosphorus
would splatter on this metal and then with the air mixing with the hy-
drogen, it would be touched off by the phosphorus, and the explosion would
ensue.
He also made mention of a spotlight bullet, which is
explosive in nature, that had been tested by him on airplane fabric at
Mccook Field in Ohio, and that these tests taught him that an explosive
bullet could ignite a thing in the air immediately upon coming in contact
therewith=
He also stated that the Board of Inquiry did not appear to be
terribly interested in the sabotage theory, and that they intended to
discount the same. Ho comment was made by me on this occasion.
on Nay lf 1957, at 11:15 a.m-, I again conversed with
Colonel Hartney at Lakehurst, and was again accompanied by Special Agent
Malone, and at this time, I again reiterated our position in the matter,
namely, that we were merely observers, but that we were perfectly willing

Dear Oolonela
I am offering, that I believe, a logical reason for an in-
vestigation on a, perhaps, remote clue on what might be the cause oi the
Hindenburg explosion.
The Hindenburg has been coming to this country for years.
It was not extraordinary news. The day she arrived it was dark, dull
and rainy, and she hung up for a few hours to land, Iaiting until after
six o'clock. According to all the rules of human nature, mostppeople
wishing to take pictures of the ship would have left for home.
With all this, this accident was photographed from every
angle. As a mtter of met, I have never seen an event more prozsely
photographed .
To me, it seems a possibility that a bunch of photographing
racktetecrs would frame an accident of this kind, as they would any other

these photographs runs into large sums.
I also notice that some of the men who were notied to stay
off the ship were newspaper men. This may be caused by a distant friend-
ship i'or these men, by the ihot those involved had an acquaintanoeship
in the newspaper field.
I am offering this only as a lead which, 1 believe, is sup-
ported by good logic. I h_a~:ro no diroot ovideooe for ny oonclusions=

I was sorry to hear of the catastrophe. As I learned

the case I wish to in1brm.you that in ease the zeppelin flew
over How York about four o'clock, the 61:11 of lhy! .1-. um:
time I was driving with some people. Three boys, about 9 - 10
years of age, sat at the window. There was a small aeroplane
connected with e rope with the airship and flying up to her
or around!. The 3 boys said what does the little want there.
They have Been it and I have Seen it. We drive with the

Dear Sir;Q, iiw
Please, for the sake of Christian humanity, do not allow yourself
to become befuddled & confused, or frightened & intimidated by Jewish
arrogance 5 dominance in the attempts to side track the cause of the
Hindenburg disaster.
Jews, big and influential in
of ours, are determined to imitate the
their cunning brains are capable of to
with all kinds of phantastic theories,this Jewish-run Christian country
investigators with every scheme
concoct, & so camouflage the truth
intended to throw you off your
feet. Jews are experts at deceit. Their Talmud teaches them from child-
hood on the value of deceit against the gays Christians! & the hate for
those Christians-
gverything in logic, common sense and physchology - from the S.
3. Bremen incident & the La Guardia case, to the intense hate for Germany
the threatened success of a good will through the Hindenburg points to
Jewish sabotage. But if one must have
there to; witnesses testified that thefacts to be impressed, they are
fire started thru a comparatively
small tongue of flame which suddenly burst out of the hull of the ship -
showing conclusively, & above & beyond all side-tracking issues of phan-
tastic Jewish theories, that a flaming bullet cf which there may b?*a
hundred different simple devices! had been shot into the hull. Pure and
Simple, it was an act of Jewish sabotage, insgired by Talmud - preached
hate.

Letter as follows,
The Disaster to the Eindenburg.- I do not believe - was caused
here - For this reason. It would have been much safer to have fired an
incendiary bullet - later in the night. because if the first one missed -
they could repeat - until success - and it is reasonable to suppose that
the wrecking of the craft would be the only thing sought. If murder was
sought - it would have been tried minutes before - as no one knew that
the end would be so sudden.
My theory is that, if it was not an accident, - it was planned
before the ship left Germany that is, a time device was installed then,
so timed that it would work after the ship was anchored - they figured
on a normal crossing which wE'x'IIZT'have the ship anchored about three hours
earliers - But as she was late as I understand the schedule! it was the
Blast! in a sense, premature.

peer senator;
1n once oi the yesterday Lepplin disaster at Lekehurst,
3, J, as well as the disasters of Shenloeh, Akron, gscon, may I inform you
that zepplin competitions in America against my airship invention are
now out 6? my way.
1 am.the inventor of s reel American dirigible patented
1914 in Wash. but which was refused for adoption at the lighter than
air competition in 1928 by the Gov't. experts in esh. The result
of this refusal was that both adopted Zepplin inmitaticns hed a
short life. If you Honorable, are an ardent furtherer of a reel
& good American invention of original construction in that line,
I hope you will reccommend it for construction, such disasters es
in the pest will neter happen in the future.

MEMORANDUM FOR INSPECTOR E. J. CONHELDEY
On the morning of lay 17, 1957, Special Agent Lee F.
Malone and myself proceeded to Lakehurst, New Jersey, to attend
the hearing regarding the Hindsnburg disaster of Hay 6. It at-
tended the morning hearing and in complicanoe with telephonic
instructions received Bron Special Agent in Charge Vetterli, I
left with the Board of Inquiry the address and telephone number
of the Newark Field Divisionand informed them that other commit-
ments necessitated my returning imediately to xewark, ew Jersey,
and that if there were any developments in connection with the
investigation being conducted by the Department of Commerce re-
garding the Hindenhurg disaster wherein the Bureau could he of any
service, that if the Board would contact the Newark Field Division
and make a request for any activity on the pert of the Bureau, that
this request would receive due consideration and that they were to
feel that the Bureau wished to cooperate in every practical manner.
I was informed by Major Schroeder and ur. Mulligan, of
the Board, that thus far there was no indication of a violation
in which this Bureau would be interested, but that if anything
arose that they felt would be of interest to the Bureau or that
they felt the Bureau could be of assistance to the Board in com-
pleting their investigation, they would feel free to communicate
with this Field Division. They both informed me that they appre-
ciated very much our presence at Lskehurst. Further, that they
had a great deal of confidence in the Bureau and that if there
was any indication of sabotage or the like they would probably
want to contact this division. I also left the address and tele-
phone number of this division with Captain Rosendahl, commander of
the Naval Base at Lakehurst and gave him the same explanation that
I gave the Board of Inquiry. Rosendahl also stated that thus far
there was no evidence of sabotage or of a criminal violation, but
that he certainly had appreciated the presence of representatives
of the Bureau at the Naval Base and that he would appreciate very
moh our contacting him periodically so that he could keep us in-
formed as to any developments. No further connmnt was made by In
regarding the remarks of either the Board or Rosendahl.

RE: HNDENBURG
On May 11, 1957, in a telephone conversation with Ir.
Tam as to the requests previously made apparently by Roger
Williamson to Commander Roeendahl that a search be made of the
field where the Hindenburg fell which he, Williamson, suggested
that we should supervise, Hr. Ta.mm' advised we should indicate to
Commander Rosendahl that we necessarily cannot act upon requests
for investigation by a senatorial committee inasmuch as this
would possibly place us in a position to be criticized, but that
should the ca-atittee investigating the disaster of the Hindenbnrg
or Hr. Rosendahl have some ideas for investigation, this might make
a difference as to what we would do in the situation inasmuch as
this would possibly place before us some situation coming within
our investigative jurisdiction. Reference is made to my previous
indication that if a search were to be made, this could just as
well be made in any of the area over which the Hindenburg circled
for approximately two hours before it made its landing at the
Naval Air station. It was indicated, at that tine, that we were
entily friendly end agreeable eith both ccc'.nander Roaenahl and
Hr. Trimble of the Commerce Department Investigating Committee, but,
however, they had made no request of us, as yet, for investigation.
On Hay 12, 1937, as a result of the request made by
Hr. Trimble to Agents Vetterli and Devereemx, this information was
oonnmmicated to Hr. Tamm at 6;1l p. 11.; that Hr. irimble indicated
that it would be desirable possibly for us to check, or to check in
cooperation with their Inspectors, the various passengers who arrived

at the field to meet them and thereafter interview these latter
persona for any of their observations while at the field.

wised in accordance with the above situation and at this time he
advised Agonts Vetterli and Devereaux that they had checked out most
or these passengers and at this time they had none that they desired
us to check, but that they would call upon us for any assistance if
they desired it and they have not, as yet, suggested to us any inquiry,
although we have indicated to them that we were very desirous of
rendering any and all possible assistance to them and that we would
consider any request for investigation they made and if same was proper,
in accordance with what we should handle, we would be glad to @e-
diately make the necessary inquiry.

Re: DESTRUCTION AIRSHIP HINDEHBURG
Dear Sir:
On may 20, 1937 at 6=00 P.M., Commander c. E. Rosendahl,
of the Naval Air Station at lakehurst, New Jersey, contacted Special
agent in Charge Devereaux by telephone and advised that a chemist
associated with the Bureau of 1-fines and Explosives who receives com-
pensation from the Association of Railroads in the eastern part of
the United States, had made an examination of the gas valve which had
been located by Dr. Ludwig Duer§ Chief Construction Engineer of the
German Zeppelin Transport company, and had determined that the foreign
substance present on the valve head was not sulphur or any active acid.
The chemist advised Comander Rosendahl that to really determine what
composed the deposited substance, a detailed, minute examination would
have to be made, and suggested that the e:qs.minatiQIL_lp:.=._ma_de_g_t1l_e __Bureau of Standards at Washington D. Cs Q / l '*" innooimmn f /fI.-.1

Re: Hindenburg
7% I called SAC Devereaux at the Hewark Division and told him
that the Director had approved the conduct of the interview with
Captain Wittemsnn, who is supposed to he-w knowledge oi the
warning alleged]; received by officials of the Hi_nden'burg.
llr. Devereaux stated that since Dr. Eckener's testimony, the
attitude at the hear:Lngs_hsd changed somewhat, Dr. Eckener having
testified he believed the accident was due to static electricity.
Ir, Devereaux stated that accordingly he felt he should talk to
Commoder Rosendahl before conducting this interview, to be sure
7 that the Commander still desired it. I told him that was atisfactory.

RE: ussmr BINDENBURG;
gpvsnma_1=.:1g'g ,aEs_sRvqrIou il;;f1'TEB.
Dear Sir:
Shortly after the Hindenburg disaster, Rogergillismson,
Clerk of the Investigating Committee of the Senate committee on
Air Commerce, headed by senator Copeland, advi sed that there were
certain footprints leading on to the reservation at Lskehuret,
New Jersey, and Roger Williamson had come to the conclusion that
these footprints were made by some unknown party who entered the '
reservation, and according to a theory advanced by Roger Williamson,
possibly fired ineendiary enlist into the Hindmhnrg and thus
caused its disaster. Incidentally, there is nothing so far to
substantiate his contention or theory.
as e. result of this report, on Sunday, Hay 9, 193?,
Special Agents in Charge W. S. Dove:-eaux and R. E. Fetter-11, at
Lakehurst, New Jersey, on the Government Reservation, photographed
footprints that were fbund and pointed out by Roger Williamson.
One small photograph, together with appropriate descriptive date.
iffized thereto, and properly r.'...o.'"*ered s1phabetios.."1y, togetmr

Dear Sandy:
Qn display in the window of e restaurant -
e., Haw
York City is e charred triangular girder ssction.whieh is labeled
as being part of the indenburg wreckage. It is about ten inches
across each of the 5 sides and about tdo feet long and the ends show
that a hack saw was used to out it off.
On account of the Department's present control of the wreckage
and constant guard maintained fro the crash period I thought this
information would be helpful in locating the parties who took the
wreckage pert away from Lakehurst before the investigation was co-
pleted. '

Dear Sir!-
The enclosed anonymous comunication stating that the
destruction of the dirigib1e5hHindenburg" was caused by a bomb placedby Captain92Lehman of that ves§el¥E§7FEEEived at this Division today.
I am not familiar with the extent of the Bureau's
participation in the investigation being held to determine the cause
of the destruction of the "Hindenburg" but in view of the possibility
that this anonymous communication might be of value, I am forwarding
it for the purpose of examination for latent prints, if this 18 deemed
desirable. -
9292
In opening the mail, this letter has been handled by
Miss Pauline Shoobs, stenographer in this Division, and by Assistant
Special Agent in Charge T. J. Donegan. cThere is a remote possibility
that this anonymous commuication was forwarded by one of the members
of the crew, and it might be deemed advisable to compare any latent
prints foud thereon with the fingerprints of the survivors.
A copy of this communication is being forwarded to
the Newark Division.

for laboratory examination.
Nichols of the Bureau of Airomerce of theDepartment of Commerce phomg and asked if he could bring
over certain exhibits in th r laboratory '
examination. He wanted to bring the exhibits over personally
and I told him that this would be all right but I suggested
that he direct a letter to the Bureau making a. formal request
for the examination in order that it might properly be of

Dear Sir:
The Board of Inquiry convened by order of
Secretary Roper to inquire into the circumstancesattending the destruction of thd@airshipc*Hindenberg
at Lakehuret on Hay 6 has procured tio pieces of dural
which were found some 4,000 feet from the wreckage.
It has been suggested that there is a probability
that some explosion or concussion other than hydrogen gas
may have caused these pieces to be blown through the air
for such a distance.
It is requested that your laboratory make a thoroughinvestigation and examination of exhibits No. 52 and 53 for
evidence of chemical content or traces of explosive matter
which may or may not be present.
1 statement from your laboratory as to your findings
will be of considerable value to the Board of Inquiry.
Cordially yours, H

The above investigation was oonduoted by Specie]. Agent
Lee F. y-.1655 of the Newark Field Office. It is suggested that
as the Board of Inquiry oi the Department of commerce, heeded by
south Trimble, is now in Washington, D. C. compiling their report
with reference to the destruction of the airship Hindenburg, that
the above information be conveyed to them for the purpose of de-
termining whether they desire any further investigation to be eon-
duoteri as to Joseph Spseh.
p It is noted, for the information of the Bureau, tint
although e. request for an investigation of "30eeph,,S,[i_e.,eh was made
by Cmmmnder Rosenclahl, U. s. Navy, he conveyed this request as e
representative of the Board oi Inquiry of the Department of Somme roe
and the Board of Inquiry is the proper authority to pass on any
further investigation with reference to Joseph Spaeh. However,
Commander Rosendehl will be contacted in the near xture with ref-
erence to additional leads which are to be referred to him, as set
out in Bureau letter of June 3, 1937.
