Mr. Day.

They were taken before anything was moved, to the best of my knowledge. I was advised when I got there nothing had been moved.

Mr. Belin.

Who so advised you?

Mr. Day.

I believe it was Detective Sims standing there, but I could be wrong about that.

Mr. Belin.

Now, turning again to Exhibit 715, I notice that there is a box in a window which is partially open. I am going to first ask you to state what window this is.

Mr. Day.

This is the south window closest to Houston Street or, in other words, it is the easternmost window on the south side of the building on the sixth floor.

Mr. Belin.

Was this window in about the same location with respect to how far it was open at the time you got there?

Mr. Day.

That is the position it was in when I got there.

Mr. Belin.

All right. I notice boxes throughout the picture, including the box in the window. To the best of your knowledge, had any of those boxes been moved prior to the time the picture, Exhibit 715, was taken?

Mr. Day.

No, sir; they had not.

Mr. Belin.

Now, I am going to show you a picture which has been identified previously in Commission testimony as Commission Exhibit 482, which purports to have been a picture taken by a newspaper photographer shortly after the assassination, showing the easternmost windows on the south side of the fifth and the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository Building.
You will notice there are two Negro males looking out of the lower pair of windows, which would be the fifth-floor windows, and above that there is one window which appears to be open with a box or boxes in it.
I am going to first ask you to state whether or not the boxes in that picture, Exhibit 482, appear to be in the same location as you saw them when you first got on the crime scene.

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir; I believe they are.

Mr. Belin.

Now, as you face the picture, the box to the right, which would be to the east, has a corner sticking out, or just a corner of the box shows. Is that the same box that appears to be resting on the window ledge in Exhibit 715?

Mr. Day.

In my opinion, it is.

Mr. Belin.

I also note there is another box that appears to be in the window on Exhibit 482. Is this box shown at all on either Exhibit 715 or 716, if you know?

Mr. Day.

No; I don't think it is.

Mr. Belin.

What do you think happened to this other box in the window on Exhibit 482?

Mr. Day.

I think the box you see through the window is to the west of the box you see here.

Mr. Belin.

You are pointing out that the box you see in the window, and you are now pointing to Exhibit 482----

Mr. Day.

I think that is east of the four boxes shown in your No. 715. Well, there are----

Mr. Belin.

Let me give you another question. On Exhibit 715 there is only one box shown in the window actually resting on the ledge, which is the box that you identified the corner out of in the eastern part of the window shown on 482.
Now, what is the fact as to whether or not this other box on 482 would have been resting on the ledge, or is it a pictorial view of something that actually was in back of the window?

Mr. Day.

I think this is one of the boxes 2 feet 11 inches back from the wall. There were two stacks of them, one behind the window sill that you see here.

Mr. Belin.

You are pointing to the window sill between the pair of windows on Exhibit 482?

Mr. Day.

That you can't see in this picture. This one is the other one I am trying to say, this stack here there are two stacks of boxes here. This one is behind here. You can't see it.
