Mr. Latona.

They were.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Chairman, may I have that chart admitted as 646?

Mr. Dulles.

It will be admitted.
(The chart referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 646, and received in evidence.)

Mr. Eisenberg.

What is the magnification?

Mr. Latona.

Approximately eight times.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Is the magnification equal on both sides?

Mr. Latona.

Both sides; the inked palmprint and latent palmprint both the same.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Is that true of all of the charts that you have submitted and will be submitting this morning?

Mr. Latona.

That is true.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Latona, could you point out some of these points? I think in the interest of time it would be better if you took several of the points instead of all 13 points you have marked.

Mr. Latona.

I believe you will find this will be a little bit more difficult to see in view of the fact that the ridge formations are cut up a little bit more. However----

Mr. Dulles.

Would you put that over there. You have identified 13 points of similarity?

Mr. Latona.

Yes; 13 have been drawn but there are quite a few others.

Mr. Eisenberg.

You have marked 13 in other words, is that it, Mr. Latona?

Mr. Latona.

Sir?

Mr. Eisenberg.

You have marked 13?

Mr. Latona.

Yes.

Mr. Dulles.

On this exhibit?

Mr. Latona.

That is right. Here, for example, is an easy one to show up, this point No. 1 as compared to point No. 1 here, and its relationship to point No. 2, the relationship of point No. 2 to point No. 3.
Looking over here we find that there is a relationship between points Nos. 1 and 2, one, two, three, four, five, one, two, three, four, five.
Then there's a relationship of one ridge between point l--or rather between point 2 and point 3, both points going in the same general direction.
Point No. 3 is below point No. 2. Also the point No. 2 is what is referred to as a short ending ridge. We look over here and we see that point No. 2 is a short ending ridge.
Point No. 3 is below that. Then we notice that there is another point which is one point removed---one ridge removed--from point No. 3 which we have not charted, which shows up very definitely in that position there. Then there is point No. 4, which is another piece of a ridge, point No. 4 here.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Latona, when you testify in court do you generally discuss every marked point?

Mr. Latona.

No.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Just the more salient points?

Mr. Latona.

Just to give a general idea as to how the comparisons are made, more or less for demonstration purposes, because the actual comparison is the same, the relationship is a determination of the relationship with the others, and just by an examination, that would be borne out if each and every point was gone into in detail.

Mr. Eisenberg.

With you permission, Mr. Chairman, I would like to move on to the next chart since we do have witnesses waiting who have to return to New York.

Mr. Dulles.

Right.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Did you prepare a chart, Mr. Latona, of the fingerprint----

Mr. Latona.

Yes.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Which was found on the carton 641?

Mr. Latona.

Here is the chart, which is of the right index fingerprint of Lee Harvey Oswald.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Was this prepared by you or under your supervision?

Mr. Latona.

They were. The enlargement here is approximately 10 times both in the inked print and in the latent print.
