After he stood at the desk for q
few minutes, he was asked what he
wanted by Elton Fox, one Of the
desk clerks. Current inquired for the
reservation under his name. Fox 10
said to have gone over to the files,
and after looking "for a very short
while" went into a small room next
to the desk and did not return.
both Nelson and Schultz
expressed the opinion that Fox had
found the reservation and removed
II from the fles.)

by n Mr.. Yellman. nm assistant
manager Of the hotel who had
also been working nj the desk.

iiOn under his name, showing

take"
