(Testimony of W. E. Barnes)

Mr. Belin.
The two that the patrolman gave you were the ones that you put this identification mark on the inside of?
Mr. Barnes.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
What instrument did you use to place this mark?
Mr. Barnes.
I used a diamond point pen.
Mr. Belin.
You put it on Q-74 and Q-75?
Mr. Barnes.
It looks like there are others that put their markings in there too.
Mr. Belin.
Did you have anything to do with identifying either the slugs that were eventually removed from Officer Tippit's body, or the pistol?
Mr. Barnes.
No.
Mr. Belin.
You never put any identifying marks on those. Is there anything else that you did out at the crime scene?
Mr. Barnes.
We made a crime sketch of the scene.
Mr. Belin.
You made a crime sketch of the scene?
Mr. Barnes.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else?
Mr. Barnes.
No; not that I can recall at this time.
Mr. Belin.
What did you do with those cartridge case hulls, Q-74 and Q-75?
Mr. Barnes.
We placed them in our evidence room, and turned them over to the FBI. I believe Special Agent Drain of the FBI was the agent that took them.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else that you can think of that might be relevant with regard to your work at the Tippit scene?
Mr. Barnes.
None. Not at this time.
Mr. Belin.
Well, when did leave there?
Mr. Barnes.
I don't know the exact hour that I left there, that I got through.
Mr. Belin.
Where did you go?
Mr. Barnes.
I went on a major accident at Veterans Drive and Ledbetter.
Mr. Belin.
Where did you go after that?
Mr. Barnes.
Back to the city hall.
Mr. Belin.
Did you make any other pictures that day?
Mr. Barnes.
I don't believe I did.
Mr. Belin.
Did you make any pictures with regard to the investigation of the President's assassination or the murder of Officer Tippit at any other time on either Saturday the 23d or Sunday the 24th up to the time of the shooting of Oswald by Jack Ruby?
Mr. Barnes.
No.
Mr. Belin.
Did you make any pictures of the Texas Theatre?
Mr. Barnes.
I did.
Mr. Belin.
When did you do those?
Mr. Barnes.
I did that the afternoon of November 22, as soon as I finished with the Tippit car pictures.
Mr. Belin.
Would you include that as part of the Tippit investigation?
Mr. Barnes.
Yes; that was in the same part.
Mr. Belin.
Let me backtrack a minute. You may have misunderstood my question. When you finished up at East 10th and Patton Streets, you took pictures, you got shells, you said you tried to get fingerprints. Did you try to do anything else at East 10th and Patton?
Mr. Barnes.
No.
Mr. Belin.
Then where did you go from East 10th and Patton?
Mr. Barnes.
The Texas Theatre.
Mr. Belin.
Before you got to the Texas Theatre, did you stop at the spot where you say this jacket was found?
Mr. Barnes.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Did you take a picture there?
Mr. Barnes.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
All right, did you take any other pictures between East 10th and Patton and the Texas Theatre?
Mr. Barnes.
I took two photos of the place where the jacket was found.
