Mr. Belin.

And the remainder of the writing was put on that night at the Dallas Police Department, is that right?

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir; about the same time that I marked those two hulls.

Mr. Belin.

Could you tell us what exactly you did in testing those hulls for fingerprints?

Mr. Day.

I used fingerprint powder, dusted them with the powder, a dark powder. No legible prints were found.

Mr. Belin.

After you did this, you dusted the prints and you put them in the envelope, 717, and then what did you do?

Mr. Day.

I released them to Detective Sims or rather he took them.

Mr. Belin.

And then what did you do?

Mr. Day.

At that time I was summoned to the northwest corner of the building.

Mr. Belin.

Then what did you do?

Mr. Day.

Sir?

Mr. Belin.

Then what did you do?

Mr. Day.

I met Captain Fritz. He wanted photographs of the rifle before it was moved.

Mr. Belin.

Do you remember if Captain Fritz told you that the rifle had not been moved?

Mr. Day.

He told me he wanted photographs before it was moved, if I remember correctly. He definitely told me it had not been moved, and the reason for the photographs he wanted it photographed before it was moved.

Mr. Belin.

I am going to hand you what the reporter has marked or what has been marked as Commission Exhibit 718, and ask you to state, if you know, what this is.

Mr. Day.

This is a photograph made by me of the rifle where it was found in the northwest portion of the sixth floor, 411 Elm Street, Dallas.

Mr. Belin.

I am going to hand you what has been marked as Commission Exhibit 719 and ask you to state if you know what that is.

Mr. Day.

It is a picture of the portion of the northwest floor where the rifle was found. This is a distance shot showing the stack of boxes.

Mr. Belin.

Is Commission Exhibit 718 a print from the same negative as Commission Exhibit 514?

Mr. Day.

The same negative?

Mr. Belin.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Day.

No, I don't think so. This is a copy of this picture.

Mr. Belin.

You are saying 514 was made, I assume, as a copy of 718. By that you mean a negative, a second negative, was made of 718 from which 514 was taken?

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Otherwise it is the same?

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

718 appears to be a little clearer and sharper.

Mr. Day.

You can tell from looking at the two pictures which is the copy.

Mr. Belin.

Was any other picture of that rifle made in that position?

Mr. Day.

Nos. 22 and 23 were both made.

Mr. Belin.

Your pictures which you have marked No. 22 and No. 23 were both made, one was made by you, is that Commission Exhibit 718----

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

And the other was made by----

Mr. Day.

Detective Studebaker.

Mr. Belin.

Whose knee appears?

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir; showing. Identical shots, we just made both to be sure that one of us made it and it would be in focus.

Mr. Belin.

For this reason I am introducing only 718, if that is satisfactory.

Mr. Mccloy.

Very well.

Mr. Belin.

How did you stand to take the picture, Exhibit 718?

Mr. Day.

I was on top of a stack of boxes to the south of where the gun was found.

Mr. Belin.

I wonder if you could put on Exhibit 719 the location with an "X" where you stood to take the picture, 718.
