Mr. Wood.

I said that was not the one. It didn't have this background in it. It's a picture that he showed me.

Mr. Liebeler.

This is not the same picture the FBI showed you?

Mr. Wood.

No, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Well, now, the FBI did show you a picture of a rifle?

Mr. Wood.

Yes; it was an enlarged picture.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you tell them that that was the rifle that the man you think is Oswald had, or was not the rifle?

Mr. Wood.

I told them that was not the rifle.

Mr. Liebeler.

You told them that was not the rifle?

Mr. Wood.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

The rifle in this picture, is this the same rifle? Can you tell, or a different rifle that was in the picture that the FBI showed you?

Mr. Wood.

You mean to say--I don't know what you said.

Mr. Liebeler.

The FBI agent showed you a picture of a rifle?

Mr. Wood.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Is the rifle that he showed you, the picture that he showed you, the picture of the same rifle as is in the picture we have here on the desk, or were they different rifles or can you tell?

Mr. Wood.

I think they were the same rifles, except the rifle that he showed me didn't have that scope. I told them that that wasn't the scope.

Mr. Liebeler.

That is what you told me just now?

Mr. Wood.

Yes; so it would be a different rifle.

Mr. Liebeler.

My question is this. Note that I am not asking you now whether • this rifle is the same as the one that the fellow at the rifle range had, or whether or not the rifle that the FBI showed you, or the picture that the FBI showed you, was a picture of the same rifle that Oswald had on the rifle range---I just want to know now whether you can tell me whether the picture that I am showing you now is a picture of the same rifle as the FBI showed you. Mr. Wood. Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

It is?

Mr. Wood.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

And you still say now that the scope on this rifle doesn't-look like the scope the guy at the rifle range had?

Mr. Wood.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

But this is the same scope as in the picture that the FBI showed you?

Mr. Wood.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did the FBI ask you about the sling mount on the rifle?

Mr. Wood.

I think they did.

Mr. Liebeler.

What did you tell them about that?

Mr. Wood.

I think I told them it was mounted on the underneath, I am not too sure. I wasn't too positive then when I told them that.

Mr. Liebeler.

And you are not sure now?

Mr. Wood.

I am not sure now, because I didn't have that long of glance.

Mr. Liebeler.

How did the FBI agent talk to you? Did he try to convince you that it wasn't the same rifle, or just show the picture and let you tell?

Mr. Wood.

Let me tell.

Mr. Liebeler.

He didn't try to convince you one way or the other?

Mr. Wood.

No, sir; he didn't try to force me one way or the other.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now the scope that we have here on this rifle is enlarged at the forward end, is it not?

Mr. Wood.

It is big towards the muzzle of the rifle; yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Is that the way the scope was on the rifle that you saw at the rifle range, too?

Mr. Wood.

Yes, sir; but it was the same size as that, and it got smaller as it came to a point, but it was a big point.

Mr. Liebeler.

Well, now, this one here is big at the back and it gets smaller in the middle, and then gets bigger at the front end. Now, tell me the difference between this one and the one that you saw at the rifle range?

Mr. Wood.

This was bigger and it got smaller as it went along.
