(Instrument referred to marked as "Stovall Exhibit B," for

Mr. BALL. Now, at that time did you find any snapshots that appeared to
be Oswald in the photograph?
Mr. STOVALL. Yes, sir; Rose did, and when he looked at them, he said,
"Look at this." At the time he said that--he showed us the snapshots
and the negatives to me.
Mr. BALL. Did they show you what appeared to be Oswald in the snapshots?
Mr. STOVALL. Yes.
Mr. BALL. He had the negatives and snapshots?
Mr. STOVALL. Yes.
Mr. BALL. And he showed Oswald--what was significant about the
photograph?
Mr. STOVALL. He was in a standing position just outside of the house
holding a rifle in one hand and he was wearing a pistol in a holster on
his right hip and he was holding two papers in the other hand.
Mr. BALL. Did you take the snapshots?
Mr. STOVALL. Yes, we took the snapshots.
Mr. BALL. And the negatives?
Mr. STOVALL. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Where are they listed on this exhibit--this Exhibit B?
Mr. STOVALL. I believe we listed them where we've got "Miscellaneous
photographs and maps." There were several other photographs that we
took when we were there.
Mr. BALL. They were in the garage, were they?
Mr. STOVALL. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. And where were they in the garage that you saw?
Mr. STOVALL. As well as I remember, they were in a brown cardboard box
about, I guess, 2 feet by a foot and a half or something like that.
Mr. BALL. What was in the box with them?
Mr. STOVALL. There were, as well as I remember, a few books in there
and letters and papers and photographs.
Mr. BALL. Now, you also found some bags, didn't you?
Mr. STOVALL. Yes, sir; there were some seabags.
Mr. BALL. What color?
Mr. STOVALL. One of them was--I think both of them were a kind of an
Army color--olive drab, whatever you call it.
Mr. BALL. And suitcases?
Mr. STOVALL. Yes, sir; there were some blue suitcases and I think a
brown one.
Mr. BALL. Made out of what kind of material?
Mr. STOVALL. It appeared to be a leather material.
Mr. BALL. You said there were three--you've mentioned blue and brown,
is there any other color?
Mr. STOVALL. There was, as well as I remember--one of the brown ones
was a leather appearing suitcase and the other was more of a--some kind
of a paper or cardboard suitcase, as well as I remember that thing. It
was partially torn, I mean, it had been well used and was coming apart.
Mr. BALL. And were there three?
Mr. STOVALL. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. And what was the color of the third one?
Mr. STOVALL. I believe it was brown also.
Mr. BALL. Leather or paper or cardboard?
Mr. STOVALL. No; this was paper--it was some kind of a paper deal or
cardboard.
Mr. BALL. Now, you also found a magazine advertisement from Klein's
Department Store, Klein's in Chicago?
Mr. STOVALL. Yes, sir; that was in the same box with the photographs.
Mr. BALL. Just for illustration of your testimony, I would like to have
marked as an exhibit to the deposition your report of the search of
November 22, 1963, as your Exhibit No. C, and your report of the search
of November 23, 1963, of the Paine residence as Exhibit No. D.
(Instruments referred to marked by the reporter as "Stovall Exhibits C
and D," for identification.)
Mr. BALL. You mention in there a map--what kind of map or maps did you
find there?
Mr. STOVALL. I don't recall just what kind of maps they were.
Mr. BALL. What time did you leave there that day?
Mr. STOVALL. Must have been around 4:30 or 5, I believe.
Mr. BALL. Did Mrs. Paine or Mr. Paine say anything more to you than you
have already told us?
Mr. STOVALL. No, sir; as well as I recall, Mr. and Mrs. Paine were both
gone from the house when we left there.
Mr. BALL. You took these materials with you that you have on this list?
Mr. STOVALL. Yes.
Mr. BALL. You took them down to where?
Mr. STOVALL. We took them down to our office.
Mr. BALL. And you made a list of them that day, did you?
Mr. STOVALL. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Now, did you do anything else on this investigation?
Mr. STOVALL. No, sir; that's all I can recall that I did on the
investigation. I might add, there was--well, you have that on the
list--some property.
Mr. BALL. What is that?
Mr. STOVALL. When we took this identification off of Lee Oswald that
had this selective service card, the name Hidell, and he also had his
own identification--at the time we were in the garage we found some
negatives out there that appeared that he had make a snapshot of a
selective service card, and on the back of the negatives it was where
the name would have been typed in--there was some stuff on the back of
the negatives to block out the name when it was reprinted, and there
were some selective service cards that he had printed himself out there
from a negative that were blank and which appeared to be the same that
he had on him at the time, on the 22d of November, that had the name of
"A. Hidell" typed in on it.
Mr. BALL. Did you appear at any showups of Oswald?
Mr. STOVALL. No, sir.
Mr. BALL. Were you at any of the interrogations of Oswald?
Mr. STOVALL. No, sir.
Mr. BALL. Well, I think that's all, Mr. Stovall. Thank you very much
for coming over here.
Mr. STOVALL. Okay, thank you.
Mr. DAVIS. Thank you so much, Mr. Stovall, we appreciate your coming by.
Mr. STOVALL. I hope it was of some help to you.
