Mr. Day.

They are the fingerprints of Lee Harvey Oswald, whose palmprints appear in 735 and 736.

Mr. Belin.

Lieutenant Day, did you ever try to make any ballistic identification of the bullet slug that was removed from the residence of General Walker?

Mr. Day.

No, sir. I don't do that work. We have a laboratory in Dallas that we ask to do that. Wait a minute now, you said identification? My answer should be no, sir.

Mr. Belin.

I will ask you this. Have you ever seen Commission Exhibit 573 before, if you know?

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir; I have.

Mr. Belin.

Could you tell us what 573 is?

Mr. Day.

This slug was gotten from the home of former General Edwin Walker, 4011 Turtle Creek, April 10, 1963, by Detective B.G. Brown, one of the officers under my supervision. He brought this in and released it to me.

Mr. Belin.

You are reading now from a report that is in your possession, is that correct?

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir. Those are the official records of my office.

Mr. Belin.

Was that prepared under your supervision?

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

In the regular course of your duties at the Dallas Police Department?

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir. The slug has my name "Day" scratched in it.

Mr. Belin.

Do you know whether or not any ballistic identification was made of this slug with regard to any rifle it may have been fired from?

Mr. Day.

No, sir. I released that to the FBI agent B. D. Odum on December 2, 1963, at 4:10 p.m.

Mr. Belin.

Has that ever been back in your possession since that time?

Mr. Day.

Not since that time.

Mr. Belin.

Prior to that time do you know whether or not any positive ballistic identifications were made of Exhibit 573 with regard to the rifle from which it might have been fired?

Mr. Day.

It had not been compared with any rifle, to the best of my knowledge.

Mr. Belin.

At this point we would like to offer and introduce in evidence Commission Exhibits Nos. 715 through 734, inclusive.

Mr. Mccloy.

They have all heretofore been identified?

Mr. Belin.

Yes, they have; and I think 715 is the first one, and if there have been any prior to 715 I would offer to introduce that also.

Mr. Mccloy.

They may be admitted.
(Commission Exhibits Nos. 715 through 734 inclusive, were received in evidence.)

Mr. Belin.

I am also going to introduce 735 and 736. These are the Xerox copies of those cards, of those palmprint cards, that I believe you had, sir. Am I correct in that, and according to my records, the next number for introduction of exhibits is 737.

Mr. Mccloy.

They may be admitted.
(Commission Exhibits Nos. 735 and 736 were received in evidence.)

Mr. Belin.

I am now going to hand you No. 737 and ask you to state if you know what this is.

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir. This is the rifle found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository November 22, 1963.

Mr. Belin.

Who took that picture?

Mr. Day.

I took it myself.

Mr. Belin.

When?

Mr. Day.

About 9 or 9:30 p.m., November 22, on the fourth floor of the City Hall in my office.

Mr. Belin.

I am going to now hand you what has been marked as 738 and ask you to state if you know what this is.

Mr. Day.

Yes, sir. This is a photograph of most of the evidence that was returned to the FBI the second time on November 26, 1963. It was released to Agent Vince Drain at 2 p.m., November 26.
