Mr. Eisenberg.

I hand you Commission Exhibit No. 649, which consists of a piece torn off of a cardboard type of box, and appearing on that is a powder impression under a tape, of which you have seen actually a photograph, Mr. Mandella.

Mr. Mandella.

Yes.

Mr. Eisenberg.

If you had developed that impression, do you think you would testify as to relative freshness?

Mr. Mandella.

In this ceas, with this cardboard, in my own experience I assume the medium used here is powder----

Mr. Eisenberg.

Yes; I believe so.

Mr. Mandella.

To develop it. If it comes out this fresh, I would have to assume that it was left there recently. But how recently I can't pinpoint that.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Within 3 days?

Mr. Mandella.

Oh, definitely I would say within 3 days.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Within 2 days?

Mr. Mandella.

Yes; I would say within about a day, a day and a half, because the cardboard is very porous and it would normally draw the oils, the perspiration, and it would disappear.
However, we do have an impression here with powder. That means that it was quite fresh, in my own opinion anyway.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Mandella, I can see that you have taken notes, numerous notes on the fingerprints, including those you didn't identify. I wonder whether we could introduce those as a Commission exhibit, rather than going through those one by one. Would you part with those? We could supply you with a. copy later.
Lieutenant MOONEY. I have the rough. It will only take us a couple minutes to----

Mr. Dulles.

We would be very glad to give you a photograph copy of it.

Mr. Mandella.

That is all I need. That is fine. Yes.

Mr. Eisenberg.

You are handing me two pages, and these contain your original notes concerning the fingerprints?

Mr. Mandella.

Yes.

Mr. Eisenberg.

These contain your notes not only as to the fingerprints you identified, but those which you did not identify against a known print which you were given?

Mr. Mandella.

That is right. There were quite a few fingerprints that didn't belong to Oswald. However, they belonged to one another.

Mr. Eisenberg.

That is to say, you found two prints which were identical to each other?

Mr. Mandella.

That is right.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Two latents which were identical to each other?

Mr. Mandella.

That is right, but to whom they belong I have no idea.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Chairman, may I have these notes admitted as Commission Exhibit No. 662?

Mr. Dulles.

It shall be admitted as Exhibit 662.
(Commission Exhibit No. 662 was marked for identification, and received in evidence.)

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Mandella, is there anything you would like to add to your testimony here?

Mr. Mandella.

Nothing other than what I already mentioned.

Mr. Eisenberg.

I have no further questions.

Mr. Dulles.

We thank you then Mr. Mandella, very much. I didn't catch your name.
Lieutenant MOONEY. Lieutenant Mooney. Glad to have been of service.

Mr. Dulles.

Would you please express to the Commissioner on behalf of the Chief Justice and the Commission our grateful thanks to you for the work that you have done, and it is greatly appreciated, and also express on my own personal behalf---I know the Commissioner--my appreciation for the cooperation he has given to the Commission.
Lieutenant MOONEY Thank you, sir. We are glad to have been of service.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Chairman, may I say that these two gentlemen both interrupted their vacation to come here, and they have been working practically night and day in order to meet with our time demands for testimony.
