PRESIDENT'S COMMISSION
ON THE ASSASSINATION OF
PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY
STATE OF TEXAS,
_County of Dallas, ss_:
Before me, Mary Rattan, a Notary Public in and for said County, State
of Texas, on this day personally appeared Lt. J. C. Day, Dallas Police
Department, who, after being by me duly sworn, on oath deposes and says:
When testifying before the President's Commission, I stated I did
not remember who returned the two spent 6.5 hulls and envelope to my
possession on the night of November 22, 1963. Since returning to Dallas
Detective C. N. Dhority has called my attention to the fact he brought
the three hulls in the envelope to me and asked me to check them again
for fingerprints even though I had checked them when they were picked
up on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository about 1:20
p.m. November 22, 1963 by Detective R. M. Sims and myself and placed in
a manila envelope. Since talking to Dhority I remember now that he was
the one who returned the shells to me about 10:00 p.m. and stated that
his office wanted to retain one. He left me two shells and the envelope
that Detective Sims and I had previously marked. It was then that I
scratched my name on the two shells that were released at 11:45 p.m. to
Agent Vince Drain along with the rifle and other evidence.
Signed this 7th day of May 1964.
(S) J. C. Day,
