Mr. Cadigan.

No; I did examine the "Alek J. Hidell" signature appearing as the signature of registrant, but the known writings available of Lee Harvey Oswald were not sufficiently comparable with the signature to reach a definite opinion. I did note, however, some similarities in the letter "A" and in the last name, the letter "H" and the ending "1." But these were not of sufficient weight nor of sufficient number nor of sufficient combination to warrant a definite opinion.

Mr. Eisenberg.

You say you compared this item, this signature with the known standards. Did you compare the signature with questioned documents which you already identified?

Mr. Cadigan.

No.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Cadigan, I wonder whether after this deposition would you compare this signature with those questioned signatures of "Alek J. Hidell" which you have now identified?

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes; certainly.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Cadigan, I now hand you Commission Exhibit No. 817, consisting of a portion of an application for a post office box 30061 in New Orleans, POD Form 1093, and ask you whether you have examined that item?

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes.

Mr. Eisenberg.

And have you attempted to determine whether that item, Commission Exhibit No. 817, was prepared by Lee Harvey Oswald, whose known writings we have introduced previously?

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes; I have.

Mr. Eisenberg.

And what was your conclusion?

Mr. Cadigan.

On Commission Exhibit No. 817 the hand printed names, "A. J. Hidell," and "Marina Oswald," and the signature "L. H. Oswald," were written by Lee Harvey Oswald, based on a comparison with his known standards of writing.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Have you prepared a photograph of Commission Exhibit No. 817?

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes.

Mr. Eisenberg.

And does that also include a photograph of another item, apparently another part of the application?

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Did your identification of the Commission Exhibit No. 817 depend in any way upon your identification of the other part of the item which is shown in your photograph?

Mr. Cadigan.

It did not.

Mr. Eisenberg.

I will mark the photograph Cadigan. Exhibit No. 22. (The document referred to was marked Cadigan Exhibit No. 22.)

Mr. Eisenberg.

Was this prepared by you or under your supervision?

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes.

Mr. Eisenberg.

And it is an accurate photograph?

Mr. Cadigan.

It is.

Mr. Eisenberg.

We haven't been going over that with all the other photographs, but is that true of all the photographs we have introduced so far?

Mr. Cadigan.

That is correct.

Mr. Eisenberg.

And any other photographs you may introduce during the balance of this deposition?

Mr. Cadigan.

That is true.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Cadigan, by use of that photograph and by use of the photographs of the standards, could you explain some of the points which led you to your conclusion concerning Commission Exhibit No. 817?

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes; here again, it is the presence of the same combination of characteristics in the hand printing and signature on Cadigan Exhibit No. 22 and on Cadigan Exhibits Nos. 4 through 10. For example, the word "Marina" on Cadigan Exhibit No. 22 can be compared with the same word or the same name on Cadigan Exhibit No. 10, the "M" being characterized by a rather long beginning stroke, the center of the letter is high, giving the letter somewhat the appearance of the numeral "3" tipped on its side. The "A" is similar to or made in the same way as previous "A's," with a pointed top, with the beginning
