Mr. DULLES. The right index finger.
Mr. EISENBERG. That will be 644.
Mr. DULLES. Admitted.
(The fingerprint referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 644, and
received in evidence.)
Mr. EISENBERG. You also have a photograph of a 10-finger card showing
that print encircled?
Mr. LATONA. I do.
Mr. EISENBERG. It is a red circle, and you are handing that to me now?
Mr. LATONA. Yes.
Mr. EISENBERG. May I have that admitted, Mr. Chairman, as 645?
Mr. DULLES. It may be admitted.
(The photograph referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 645, and
received in evidence.)
Mr. EISENBERG. What portion of the finger of Lee Harvey Oswald does
that print represent?
Mr. LATONA. It represents what is referred to as the distal phalanx of
the right index finger.
Mr. EISENBERG. That is the phalanx or the tip furthest away from the
wrist?
Mr. LATONA. The palm.
Mr. EISENBERG. Or from the palm?
Mr. LATONA. That is right.
Mr. EISENBERG. Is that a full or partial print of the distal phalanx?
Mr. LATONA. That is a partial print.
Mr. EISENBERG. And does it take on the center, or the ulnar or the
radial portion of the phalanx?
Mr. LATONA. No, that takes actually the central portion of the print.
Mr. EISENBERG. The central portion?
Mr. LATONA. The so-called pattern area is disclosed by the latent print.
Mr. DULLES. Off the record.
(Discussion off the record.)
Mr. EISENBERG. Could you show us, Mr. Latona, on 641, where the
fingerprint impression that you have just identified is?
Mr. LATONA. That appears on one of the ends of the box indicated by a
red arrow.
Mr. EISENBERG. Could you mark that arrow, "B"?
