(Testimony of J. C. Day)
Mr. Belin.
All right. So you now are saying Commission Exhibit 726 was on November 25----
Mr. Day.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
And there had been some movement of the boxes?
Mr. Day.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Generally did it depict the area as you saw it on November 22?
Mr. Day.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
I am handing you Commission Exhibit 727 and ask you to state if you know what that is.
Mr. Day.
727 is the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, taken looking east along the inside of the south wall.
Mr. Belin.
When was that taken?
Mr. Day.
November 25, 1963.
Mr. Belin.
Just by general means of identification, perhaps it might help to see when some pictures were taken and some pictures were not taken. I think you can see on Exhibit 727 that the shadows show that the sun would not as yet have reached a due south position is that correct?
Mr. Day.
That is correct. It was taken in the morning. This is the morning shadow.
Mr. Belin.
Handing you what has been marked 728, would you state if you know what this is?
Mr. Day.
This is the third aisle from the east side of the building, sixth floor, Texas School Book Depository.
Mr. Belin.
Was that taken on November 22 or November 25?
Mr. Day.
It was taken on November 22, 1963.
Mr. Belin.
Again you can note the shadows at this time, and it would appear as a southwesterly sun.
Mr. Day.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
I notice a pop bottle there. Do you know whether or not that pop bottle was there at the time you got to the scene?
Mr. Day.
It was, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Was it in the same relation as that two-wheeler cart, if you know?
Mr. Day.
To the best of my knowledge nothing had been moved there.
Mr. Belin.
Did you see anything else with the pop bottle when you were in that area?
Mr. Day.
There was a brown-paper sack, like a lunch sack.
Mr. Belin.
About how large?
Mr. Day.
It does not show in the picture.
Mr. Belin.
Where would the sack have been located?
Mr. Day.
Sir?
Mr. Belin.
Where would that sack have been located, if you know?
Mr. Day.
I don't remember.
Mr. Belin.
Would this have been at the third pair of windows counting from the east; when you meant the third aisle, did you mean the third set of windows also?
Mr. Day.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
You mentioned a sack that would have been at that third aisle. Was any kind of a sack found on the sixth floor, if you know?
Mr. Day.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
What other kind of a sack was found?
Mr. Day.
A homemade sack, brown paper with 3-inch tape found right in the corner, the southeast corner of the building near where the slugs were found.
Mr. Mccloy.
Near where the hulls were found?
Mr. Day.
Near where the hulls. What did I say?
Mr. Mccloy.
Slugs.
Mr. Day.
Hulls.
Mr. Belin.
I'm going to hand you what has been marked as Commission Exhibit 729 and ask you to state if you know what this is.
Mr. Day.
729 is a photograph of the inside wall, south and east walls, right at the corner of the building at the sixth floor of the Texas Book Depository.
