(Testimony of William J. Waldman)

Mr. Belin.
Is there anything which indicates in what form you received the money?
Mr. Waldman.
Yes; below the amount is shown the letters "MO" designating money order.
Mr. Belin.
Now, I see the extreme top of this microfilm, the date, March 13, 1963; to what does that refer?
Mr. Waldman.
This is an imprint made by our cash register indicating that the remittance received from the customer was passed through our register on that date.
Mr. Belin.
And to the right of that, I see $21.45. Is that correct?
Mr. Waldman.
That's correct.
Mr. Belin.
Is there any other record that you have in connection with the shipment of this rifle other than the particular microfilm negative frame that we are looking at right now?
Mr. Waldman.
We have a--this microfilm record of a coupon clipped from a portion of one of our advertisements, which indicates by writing of the customer on the coupon that he ordered our catalog No. C20-T750; and he has shown the price of the item, $19.95, and gives as his name A. Hidell, and his address as Post Office Box 2915, in Dallas, Tex.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else on that negative microfilm frame?
Mr. Waldman.
The coupon overlays the envelope in which the order was mailed and this shows in the upper left-hand corner .the return address of A. Hidell, Post Office Box 2915, in Dallas, Tex.
There is a postmark of Dallas, Tex., and a postdate of March 12, 1963, indicating that the order was mailed by airmail.
Mr. Belin.
Can you see the actual cancelled stamp in the upper right-hand corner?
Mr. Waldman.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
And the stamp itself says "United States Airmail"?
Mr. Waldman.
That's correct.
Mr. Belin.
And underneath that, someone has written "airmail"; is that correct?
Mr. Waldman.
That's true.
Mr. Belin.
And someone has written it addressed to you; is that correct?
Mr. Waldman.
That's right.
Mr. Belin.
And is it possible on this machine to make prints of these negatives?
(Whereupon, it was attempted to make copies of said documents.)
Mr. Belin.
I think the record should show that all of this testimony has been taken upstairs with the court reporter present in front of the actual microfilm machine itself; is that correct?
Mr. Waldman.
That's correct.
Mr. Belin.
Now, let us adjourn to your office and continue the taking of this testimony, please.
(Whereupon, the following proceedings were had at the office where the deposition originally commenced)
Mr. Belin.
Mr. Waldman, I'm going to mark what has FBI Exhibit D-77 on it as Waldman Deposition Exhibit No. 6, being the container with your initials and the microfilm record itself, which you placed on the microfilm reader and about which you have just testified upstairs.
Now, I'm going to hand you what has been marked as Waldman Deposition Exhibit No. 7 and ask you to state if you know what this is.
Mr. Waldman.
This is a cops made from our microfilm reader-printer of Dallas, Tex. I want to clarify that this is not the order, itself, received from Mr. Hidell, but it's a form created by us internally from an order received from Mr. Hidell on a small coupon taken from an advertisement of ours in a magazine.
Mr. Belin.
This Waldman Deposition Exhibit No. 7 is a print from the micro- film negative which we just viewed upstair; is that correct?
Mr. Waldman.
That's correct.
Mr. Belin.
And Waldman Deposition Exhibit No. 8 is also a print from the
