(Testimony of Alwyn Cole)

Mr. Eisenberg.
And was this taken by you or under your supervision?
Mr. Cole.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Eisenberg.
And is it a true and accurate photograph of 795?
Mr. Cole.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Mr. Chairman, may this be admitted as 799?
Senator COOPER. It will be admitted.
(The document referred to, previously marked as Commission Exhibit 799, was received in evidence.)
Mr. Eisenberg.
This is an additional photograph of the reverse side of 795?
Mr. Cole.
That is correct. The one last mentioned was also made with a very low angle of illumination raking the light across the document.
Mr. Eisenberg.
The "one last mentioned" being 797 or 798?
Mr. Cole.
799 was made with the low-angle illumination to bring out the indentation.
Mr. Eisenberg.
That is as opposed to 797, which is the reverse side of the photograph introduced as 795?
Mr. Cole.
Yes.
Mr. Eisenberg.
And that had a normal illumination?
Mr. Cole.
Yes; correct.
Mr. Eisenberg.
By use of this 799 photograph, could you read to us what was stenciled, insofar as possible?
Mr. Cole.
Opposite "Color of Eyes" there is discernible the indented type written letters "CT." This is just to the left of the visible letters "GR." Then opposite the "Color of Hair" there is an indentation of the word in capital letters "BROWN." Just above the visible "9" for the inch figures of height, there is a second indented "9" Opposite the word weight there is a small letter "i" as an indentation.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Is "i" the lower case of the figure in the typewriter which produces "1" in upper case?
Mr. Cole.
No; it is the lower case "1" which is used for the "1" on most typewriters. In the frame above the wording "Local Board Stamp" there is visible typewriting and indentations but I think this is probably all one typewriting act, the ink coming down from the ribbon only in a rather irregular fashion. Just outside the frame on the right side there is an indentation
of the abbreviation "ST."
Mr. Eisenberg.
Mr. Cole, did you have occasion to examine these cards at a subsequent time this card, I am sorry, the Selective Service notice of classification, or spurious Selective Service classification, 795?
Mr. Cole.
Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. Eisenberg.
At that time did you examine the negatives which I now hand to you?
Mr. Cole.
I did.
Mr. Eisenberg.
For the record, these are a set of negatives which were found at one of the premises inhabited by Lee Harvey Oswald. Mr. Chairman, may I have them admitted as 800? I would like these negatives which Mr. Cole examined and which were found in one of the residences of Lee Harvey Oswald to be received as 800.
Senator COOPER. It is so ordered.
(The negatives referred to were marked as Commission Exhibit 800 and received in evidence.)
Mr. Eisenberg.
Did you also examine this card which I now hand you, which for the record is a Selective Service System notice of classification in the name of Lee Harvey Oswald, found in the wallet of Lee Harvey Oswald following his apprehension after the assassination and the murder of Officer Tippit?
Mr. Cole.
I did examine this card.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Mr. Chairman, may this card, which is Oswald's actual Selective Service System notice of classification, be admitted as 801?
Senator COOPER. So ordered.
(The document referred to was marked as Commission Exhibit 801, and was received in evidence.)
Mr. Eisenberg.
Now what did your examination of the negatives and the
