Mr. HILL. Now that I know where to look, I can find it. It is going to
be Q-79.
It has the initials CK. That is distinguishable on it. It has two X's
near the identification number that are legible.
And it has other markings that is R something or "R-" that is
apparently on some of the others.
Mr. BELIN. Do you see your name on that?
Mr. HILL. My name is also on this, on the metal jacket portion of the
shell.
Mr. BELIN. What kind of bullet is that?
Mr. HILL. This is another Western .38 special with a copper-colored
coating on the lead inside the bullet.
Mr. BELIN. Handing you Q-78.
Mr. HILL. This is a .38 caliber Western shell with the identification
mark Q-78, with the other markings of JH and CK on it, and also on the
shell casing near the rear of the bullet is the name H-i-l-l, with
which I marked it.
Mr. BELIN. Handing you Q-80.
Mr. HILL. Okay. This is an R.-P. .38 shell with the identification
number Q-80.
The initials CK and JH near the "Q" number on the jacket of this one.
Also is the name H-i-l-l scratched into the metal, which I placed on
it. And this one also is a plain lead shell.
Mr. BELIN. Handing you Q-81, do you see Q-81, on there?
Mr. HILL. This is an R and P shell with the identification number Q-81,
with the initials CK and JH scratched near the "Q" number.
On the side of this shell also is the word H-i-l-l, which was placed on
this shell by me.
This is a .38 lead slug.
Mr. BELIN. What is the fact as to whether or not all of these slugs
were removed from this gun which has been marked as Exhibit 143?
What is the fact as to whether or not all of those six were removed?
Mr. HILL. All six of the slugs that were identified immediately
previous to this point were removed from the gun, identified as
Commission Exhibit 143, by me.
Mr. BELIN. What is the fact as to whether or not from the time this gun
was handed to you until the time you removed these six bullets, this
gun was in your possession?
Mr. HILL. The gun remained in my possession until it, from the time
it was given to me until the gun was marked and all the shells were
marked. They remained in my personal possession. After they were
marked, they were released by me to Detective T. L. Baker of the
homicide bureau. He came to the personnel office and requested that
they be given to him, and I marked them and turned them over to him at
this point.
Mr. BELIN. All right, now, I want to return to the car, Sergeant Hill.
