Mr. Day.

I explained to him that I was still working with the prints, but I thought I could carry it down without disturbing the prints, which I did.
We waded through the mob with me holding the gun up high. No one touched it. Several of the newsmen asked me various questions about what the gun was at that time. I did not give them an answer.
When I went back to the office after Marina Oswald viewed the gun, they still were hounding me for it. I told them to check with the chief's office, he would have to give them the information, and as soon as I got back to my office I gave a complete description, and so forth, to Captain King on the gun.

Mr. Belin.

Were you there when Marina Oswald was asked whether or not she could identify it?

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir. But I didn't understand what she said. I was standing across the room from her where I couldn't understand. The interpreter said something to her and said something to Captain Fritz. I didn't catch what was said. I mentioned that because there was some talk about a Mauser and 30-06 at the time and various other things, that is the reason I mentioned it.

Mr. Belin.

You just refused to answer all questions on that, is that correct?

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir. It wasn't my place to give them that information. I didn't know whether they wanted it out yet or not.

Mr. Mccloy.

There was never any doubt in your mind what the rifle was from the minute you saw it?

Mr. Day.

No, sir; It was stamped right on there, 6.5, and when en route to the office with Mr. Odum, the FBI agent who drove me in, he radioed it in, he radioed in what it was to the FBI over the air.

Mr. Belin.

What else did you do, or what was the next thing you did after you completed photographing and inspecting the rifle on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository Building for whatever prints you could find, what did you do next?

Mr. Day.

I took the gun at the time to the office and locked it up in a box in my office at Captain Fritz' direction.

Mr. Belin.

Then what did you do?

Mr. Day.

I went back to the School Book Depository and stayed there. It was around three that I got back, and I was in that building until about 6, directing the other officers as to what we needed in the way of photographs and some drawing, and so forth.

Mr. Belin.

What did you do when you got back, what photographs did you take?

Mr. Day.

We went, made the outside photographs of the street, we made more photographs inside, and did further checking for prints by using dust on the boxes around the window.

Mr. Belin.

I hand you what has been marked as "Commission Exhibit 722" and ask you to state if you know what this is.

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir. This is a view of Houston Street looking south from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository Building.

Mr. Belin.

Do you know when that was taken?

Mr. Day.

About 3 or 3:15, somewhere along there, on November 22, 1963.

Mr. Mccloy.

You say from the sixth floor; was it from the farthest east window?

Mr. Day.

The south window on the east end of the building.

Mr. Belin.

You don't mean that. State that again. What side of the building was the window on?

Mr. Day.

It was on the south side of the building, the easternmost window.

Mr. Belin.

At the time you took Exhibit 722 had any boxes been moved at all?

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Here is Exhibit 724, and I will ask you to state if you know what that is.

Mr. Day.

This is a view from the same window looking southwest down Elm Street. Actually this is the direction the shots were fired. When this picture was made----

Mr. Belin.

When you say this picture you are referring to---I think I have skipped a number here.
