Mr. Belin.

extended questions and answers as contrasted with just asking you to tell me about certain areas as to what happened? I mean, I questioned you, of course, but was it more along the lines of just asking you to tell me what happened, or more along the lines of interrogation, the interrogation we are doing now?

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Which one?

Mr. Day.

Wait a minute now. Say that again. I am at a loss.

Mr. Belin.

Maybe it would be easier if I just struck the question and started all over again.

Mr. Day.

I remember you asking me if I marked them.

Mr. Belin.

Yes.

Mr. Day.

I remember I told you I did.

Mr. Belin.

All right.

Mr. Day.

I got to reviewing this, and I got to wondering about whether I did mark those at the scene.

Mr. Belin.

Your testimony now is that you did not mark any of the hulls at the scene?

Mr. Day.

Those three; no, sir.

Mr. Belin.

I believe you said that you examined the three shells today?

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

While you were waiting to have your testimony taken here?

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir; that is what confirmed my thinking on this. The envelope now was marked.

Mr. Belin.

And the shells were in the same envelope that it was marked?

Mr. Day.

Yes.

Mr. Belin.

Now, I am going to ask you to state if you know what Commission Exhibit 543 is?

Mr. Day.

That is a hull that does not have my marking on it.

Mr. Belin.

Do you know whether or not this was one of the hulls that was found at the School Book Depository Building?

Mr. Day.

I think it is.

Mr. Belin.

What makes you think it is?

Mr. Day.

It has the initials "G. D." on it, which is George Doughty, the captain that I worked under.

Mr. Belin.

Was he there at the scene?

Mr. Day.

No, sir; this hull came up, this hull that is not marked came up, later. I didn't send that.

Mr. Belin.

This was----

Mr. Day.

That was retained. That is the hull that was retained by homicide division when the other two were originally sent in with the gun.

Mr. Belin.

You are referring now to Commission Exhibit 543 as being the one that was retained in your possession for a while?

Mr. Day.

It is the one that I did not see again.

Mr. Belin.

It appears to be flattened out here. Do you know or have you any independent recollection as to whether or not it was flattened out at the small end when you saw it?

Mr. Day.

No, sir; I don't.

Mr. Belin.

Now, handing you what has been marked as Commission Exhibit 544, I will ask you to state if you know what this is.

Mr. Day.

This is the second hull that was in the envelope when I marked the two hulls that night on November 22.

Mr. Belin.

I have now marked this envelope, which was formerly a part of Commission Exhibits 543 and 544 with a separate Commission Exhibit No. 717, and I believe you testify now that Commission Exhibit 544 was the other shell that was in the envelope which has now been marked as Commission Exhibit No. 717.

Mr. Day.

Yes.

Mr. Belin.

Does that cartridge case, Exhibit 544, have your name on it again?

Mr. Day.

It has my name on the small end where the slug would go into the shell.

Mr. Belin.

Are all of the three shells of the same caliber?

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir.
