Mr. Eisenberg.

Could you show us, Mr. Latona, on 641, where the fingerprint impression that you have just identified is?

Mr. Latona.

That appears on one of the ends of the box indicated by a red arrow.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Could you mark that arrow, "B"?

Mr. Latona.

Marked "B."

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Dulles, would you care to take a look at that?

Mr. Latona.

Here you are going to see several clear prints but it is only one that we have identified, and that is the one directly under the arrow.

Mr. Dulles.

I see four there, or five.

Mr. Latona.

It is the little one here in the middle, right here.

Mr. Dulles.

Is it this one here, right there?

Mr. Latona.

No; the one next to it.

Mr. Dulles.

That one there?

Mr. Latona.

That is right.

Mr. Dulles.

What are all these other fingerprints?

Mr. Latona.

They are all other fingerprints.

Mr. Eisenberg.

There were a total of 13 identifiable prints on the box, did you say?

Mr. Latona.

That is right. Those are not Oswald's prints.

Representative Boggs.

Those may have been other people opening the box?

Mr. Dulles.

The box was carried around probably.

Mr. Latona.

Yes.

Mr. Dulles.

When it was first put there and moved.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Could you put your finger on that box, Mr. Latona, in the way that the finger was placed?

Mr. Dulles.

How do you think he was carrying that box?

Mr. Latona.

I don't know.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Is your finger now placed in the way the finger was placed to create the impression? It is pointing with the fingernail towards the arrow and in the same line as the arrow, with just the tip of the finger on the box.

Mr. Dulles.

Everybody seems to have held that box.

Mr. Latona.

It is a little one right there.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Murray, do you want to take a look?

Representative Boggs.

You have not identified any of these others?

Mr. Latona.

No.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Let the record show that Commissioners Dulles and Boggs and Mr. Murray are looking at that fingerprint, and have apparently satisfied themselves----

Mr. Murray.

The portion shown to me appears to be part of a fingerprint.

Mr. Eisenberg.

They have satisfied themselves that the print is on the box.
Now, therefore, to recapitulate: You found on this carton 641 the left palmprint and the right index fingerprint of Lee Harvey Oswald?

Mr. Latona.

That is correct.

Mr. Eisenberg.

One other thing. Getting back to the palmprint, marked "A," could you show us how a hand would lie to produce that print?

Mr. Latona.

In the position of the palm pointing towards the arrow.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Pointing towards the arrow, that is, in the opposite direction that the arrow points?

Mr. Latona.

That is right.

Mr. Eisenberg.

But in the same line as the arrow. Your hand is parallel with the line but covering that completely?

Mr. Latona.

Yes.

Mr. Eisenberg.

And although it covers it, I would say that the arrow would fall in the midline of the palm, is that right?

Mr. Latona.

That is right.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Now, Mr. Latona, did you prepare a chart showing some of the points which led you to the conclusion that the latent palmprint found on 641 was identical with the inked palmprint submitted to you by the Dallas police?

Mr. Latona.

I had charts prepared; yes.

Mr. Eisenberg.

These were prepared under your supervision?
