Mr. Belin.
Yes.
Mr. Johnson.
Other than I know we kept the lunch sack and the Dr. Pepper bottle.
Mr. Belin.
You did keep the lunch sack?
Mr. Johnson.
Sir?
Mr. Belin.
You did keep the lunch sack?
Mr. Johnson.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Where is it?
Mr. Johnson.
We turned it into the crime lab.
Mr. Belin.
You mean your police department crime lab?
Mr. Johnson.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Did you ever dust it for prints or not, or do you know?
Mr. Johnson.
Well, now, the lunch sack itself, sir?
Mr. Belin.
Yes.
Mr. Johnson.
I don't know whether they did or not. Now that sack we are talking about, it was dusted right there at the scene.
Mr. Belin.
That is the long paper sack you found in the southeast corner? I mean as far as the lunch sack is concerned?
Mr. Johnson.
No, the lunch sack, I don't know. We turned it in, but I never did hear after that what he did with it. I am pretty sure they did use it for something.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else you can think of that is relevant in any way whatsoever to the investigation of the assassination?
Mr. Johnson.
No; I don't remember anything else.
Mr. Belin.
Well, we surely want to thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Johnson.
You have the right, if you desire, to read the transcription of your testimony here and then sign the deposition, or you can waive the signing and have the court reporter send it to us directly in Washington. Do you care to read it, or do you want to waive the signing of it?
Mr. Johnson.
I'd better read it.
Mr. Belin.
All right, you will be contacted when it is ready.
