Mr. Eisenberg.

No. 13, I see that there is another picture shown on that exhibit, apart from the one as to which you testified.

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Can you describe that?

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes. That is a Post Office Department Form 1093, application for post office box, and the post office box number is 6225, and it is signed, "Lee H. Oswald."

Mr. Eisenberg.

And why is that included on the picture with Cadigan Exhibit No. 13, or rather on the picture with Commission Exhibit No. 791? Is that because they were both from----

Mr. Cadigan.

relate to box 2915.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Did you have any particular reason for printing that up with the photograph of Exhibit No. 791?

Mr. Cadigan.

No. I think it may have been part of another exhibit which has not as yet been introduced.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Does your identification of Exhibit No. 791 in any way depend upon that photograph?

Mr. Cadigan.

No; not at all.

Mr. Eisenberg.

So we can disregard it for our purposes?

Mr. Cadigan.

If you want to, I can take it out.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Well, it is in.

Mr. Cadigan.

I mean I can just cut it along here.

Mr. Eisenberg.

I would rather leave it in, since it is in the record.

Mr. Cadigan.

All right.

Mr. Eisenberg.

I just wanted to make sure that it didn't need to be discussed as part of the identification of Exhibit No. 791, and I take it it does not?

Mr. Cadigan.

Mr. photograph thereof, which is Cadigan Exhibit No. 14, did you attempt to determine Whether Commission Exhibit No. 793 had been prepared by Lee Harvey Oswald?

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes.

Mr. Eisenberg.

The photograph of which is Cadigan Exhibit No. 14. And what was your conclusion on that?

Mr. Cadigan.

Again, that Commission Exhibit No. 793 was written by Lee Harvey Oswald, again based upon finding the same combination of individual handwriting and hand printing characteristics in both the questioned writing and the known standards.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Could you discuss some of those common characteristics?

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes. Here, again, the entire word "Dallas" and the word "Texas" is made in a very characteristic manner which I have described before, and which appears on Cadigan Exhibits Nos. 9, 6, 7, and 8.
The signature "Lee H. Oswald" was found to have the same characteristics as the known signatures, although here I noted that in the ending "d" .in "Oswald" the stroke was less cursive than the ending "d" in Cadigan Exhibit No. 13, in that the writer makes a rather narrow loop and does not cross the staff of the letter "d." I noted this characteristic, also, in Cadigan Exhibits Nos. 9 and 10. I would like to point out that here, again, the writer varies his individual characteristics, which is entirely normal and expected, and actually it adds weight to the characteristic to find that it does vary to some degree. All writing, particularly signatures, are never exactly duplicated and some variation is normally expected, and finding the same variations in both questioned and known signatures increases the value of it, so that, again, the presence of the same combination of handwriting and hand printing characteristics in Cadigan Exhibit No. 14 in the known exhibits enabled me to reach the opinion that Commission Exhibit No. 793 was written by Lee Harvey Oswald.

Mr. Eisenberg.

You used the term "cursive" in respect to this. Can you explain the meaning of that term?

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes; the ending "d" stroke is made with a flourish or a sweeping motion on Cadigan Exhibit No. 13, and on Cadigan Exhibit No. 14 the stroke ends abruptly at the staff of the letter.
