Mr. Belin.
Were you so employed on or about November 22, 1963?
Mr. Scibor.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Were you at any time on that date contacted by any law enforcement agency with regard to a particular rifle, Serial No. C-2766?
Mr. Scibor.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
And could you tell us the circumstances surrounding this?
Mr. Scibor.
I got a call Friday evening, November 22, asking if it would be possible to get at the records---at our records to see if that gun had been in our possession or sold by us. I got permission from one of the executives to open the store and view our records, and I came down here somewhere between 10 and 11 o'clock.
Mr. Belin.
And what did you do when you got down here?
Mr. Scibor.
We went in with the Government men and--just before we went in, Mr. Waldman came down and we came in and he took over as far as getting-- trying to find the information that we needed.
Mr. Belin.
How did you try to find that information?
Mr. Scibor.
By looking in our microfilm records of sales of merchandise for that particular gun.
The FBI furnished us with information stating that we had received the gun from Crescent Firearms.
Mr. Belin.
Well, did you look at the microfilms of your purchasers or your sales or what?
Mr. Scibor.
Yes; we used two machines and looked at the microfilms of our sales until we had found that particular gun with the serial number.
Mr. Belin.
You were upstairs when Mr. Waldman was looking at the microfilm of which a printed copy is Waldman Deposition Exhibit No. 7; is that correct?
Mr. Scibor.
Correct.
Mr. Belin.
And on Waldman Deposition Exhibit No. 7, there is a Serial No C-2766?
Mr. Scibor.
Correct.
Mr. Belin.
Was this serial number on Waldman Deposition Exhibit No. 7 the first contact you had on Friday evening that led you to believe that you had shipped this particular rifle?
Mr. Scibor.
That's correct.
Mr. Belin.
When did you discover or find out this information, if you know--strike the question.
I believe you said you got down here about 10 o'clock that night?
Mr. Scibor.
Between 10 and 11.
Mr. Belin.
And then you started going through your microfilm records?
Mr. Scibor.
Right.
Mr. Belin.
About when did you actually find the microfilm of which Waldman Deposition Exhibit No. 7 is a print?
Mr. Scibor.
About 4 o'clock in the roaming, as far as I can remember.
Mr. Belin.
You then turned this information over to the FBI?
Mr. Scibor.
Mr. Waldman did.
