(Testimony of Robert Studebaker Lee)
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
You lifted a print off of a box?
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
Where was the box?
Mr. Studebaker.
The box was due north of the paper that was found, and it was, I believe, we have it that it was--I can read the measurements off of one of these things--how far it was.
Mr. Ball.
Fine, do that.
Mr. Studebaker.
It was 16 1/2 inches from the from this wall over here (indicating).
Mr. Ball.
Which wall are you talking about?
Mr. Studebaker.
It was from the south wall of the building.
Mr. Ball.
Did you take a picture of that box in place before it was moved?
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
The box from which you lifted the prints?
Mr. Studebaker.
This box never was moved.
Mr. Ball.
That box never was moved?
Mr. Studebaker.
That box never was moved.
Mr. Ball.
And you took a picture of it?
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
And that was the location of it when you lifted the print of it?
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
And may I have that, please, and we will mark it Exhibit G.
Mr. Studebaker.
I was with them in the corner all the time they were with me, rather, I guess Captain Fritz told them to stay with us and help us in case they were needed.
Mr. Ball.
Johnson and Montgomery?
Mr. Studebaker.
Johnson and Montgomery--they were with me all the time over in that one corner.
Mr. Ball.
Now, we have here a picture which we will mark "G."
(Instrument marked by the reporter as "Studebaker Exhibit G," for identification.)
Mr. Ball.
This is your No. 26, and that shows the box, does it?
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
And that was its location with reference to the corner?
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes, sir; that's the exact location.
Mr. Ball.
Can you draw in there showing us where the paper sack was found?
(Witness Studebaker drew on instrument as requested by Counsel Ball. )
Mr. Ball.
That would be directly south?
Mr. Studebaker.
That would be directly south of where the box was.
Mr. Ball.
You have drawn an outline in ink on the map in the southeast corner. Now, that box is how many inches, as shown in this picture?
Mr. Studebaker.
It is 16 inches from the south wall.
Mr. Ball.
You say you lifted a print there off of this box?
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
And now, is that shown in the picture?
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
What shows in the picture, can you tell me what shows in the picture? Describe what you see there.
Mr. Studebaker.
Well, there is a box with a partial print on the it would be the northwest corner of the box.
Mr. Ball.
Was that a palm print or a fingerprint?
Mr. Studebaker.
A palm.
Mr. Ball.
It was a palm print?
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
And does it show the direction of the palm?
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
Which way?
Mr. Studebaker.
West.
Mr. Ball.
It would be made with the hand----
Mr. Studebaker.
With the right hand sitting on the box.
Mr. Ball.
And the fingers pointed west, is that it?
