(Testimony of Alwyn Cole)
Mr. Eisenberg.
"A. Hidell," and the purchase order, which is included in the photograph, is order also addressed to Klein's from "A. Hidell," and I ask you whether you have examined this photograph.
Mr. Cole.
I have.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Mr. Chairman, may I have this admitted into evidence as Commission Exhibit 773?
The Chairman.
It may be admitted.
(Commission Exhibit No. 773 was marked and received in evidence.)
Mr. Eisenberg.
For the record, this photograph was produced from a roll of microfilm in the possession of Klein's, a Chicago firm which sells weapons of various types, and which sold the assassination weapon.
Now, Mr. Cole, I am going to hand you a group of documents which I will identify for the record.
The first is an application form to Cosmos Shipping Co., Inc., signed Lee H. Oswald, and containing handprinting and cursive writing. Have you examined that document, Mr. Cole?
Mr. Cole.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Eisenberg.
May I have this admitted as Commission Exhibit 774, Mr. Chairman?
The Chairman.
It may be admitted.
(Commission Exhibit No. 774 was marked and received in evidence.)
The Chairman.
I wonder if it might not be better to put the tab on the document itself because someone in handling it might take it out of the envelope.
(Discussion off the record.)
Mr. Eisenberg.
The second document is a letter addressed to the American Embassy, entitled "Affidavit of Support," and signed Lee H. Oswald.
Mr. Cole.
I have examined this document.
Mr. Eisenberg.
I would like that admitted as 775, Mr. Chairman.
The Chairman.
It may be admitted.
(Commission Exhibit No. 775 was marked and received in evidence.)
Mr. Eisenberg.
The third is a group of checks made payable to the order of Lee H. Oswald, and the company listed on the top of the check is Jaggars-Chiles-Stovall, Inc. These checks are endorsed on the back "Lee H. Oswald," and I ask you whether you have examined these documents?
Mr. Cole.
I have examined these documents.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Mr. Chairman, may these be admitted as 776?
The Chairman.
They may be admitted.
(Commission Exhibit 776 was marked and received in evidence.)
Mr. Eisenberg.
Here I would like to mark the envelope.
The fourth item is a library card for the New Orleans Parish, or the Orleans Parish, and the signature is Lee H. Oswald.
Mr. Cole.
I have examined this document.
Mr. Eisenberg.
May I have this admitted as 777?
The Chairman.
It may be admitted.
(Commission Exhibit No. 777 was marked and received in evidence.)
Mr. Eisenberg.
The next item consists of photographs of two letters to the Department of State, both concerning payments on loans, repayments of loans, and both signed "Lee H. Oswald," and I ask whether you have examined these documents?
Mr. Cole.
I have examined these photographs.
Mr. Eisenberg.
May these be admired as 778?
The Chairman.
They may be admitted.
(Commission Exhibit No. 778 was marked and received in evidence.)
Mr. Eisenberg.
Next are two pages of writing on lined and holed paper entitled "The Communist Party of the United States Has Betrayed Itself!" and numbered "1" and "2," with some discoloration. Mr. Cole, have you examined those?
Mr. Cole.
I have examined these. The discoloration mentioned was on the documents when I first saw them.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Mr. Chairman, may these be admitted as 779?
The Chairman.
Admitted.
(Commission Exhibit No. 779 was marked and received in evidence.)
