California Condor Eben McMillan 5 June 1964 At 2:12 P.M. today I called the Office of Kern County District Attorney regarding the present disposition of the Howard Bintley, Condor shooting incident. I was connected by phone with deputy Frank St. Clair who said he has been assigned to the case. Mr. St. Clair asked me how many witnesses were implicated; I told him five or six. He then asked if I would write him a letter in which I would give the names of all the witnesses. I then told Mr. St. Clair that investigator Taylor had this material already. He then asked if that would be Mr. Taylor of the Sheriffs department. I said no, it is Mr. Taylor of the District Attorney's Office. He seemed surprised at this information but said he would go over this afternoon and get what information Mr. Taylor had. I then asked if he were to handle the case. He said yes, he was. That the case is slated for June 12, 1964. Mr. St. Clair said he should get together with me a day or so before the trial.
