Mr. DAY. That was retained. That is the hull that was retained by
homicide division when the other two were originally sent in with the
gun.
Mr. BELIN. You are referring now to Commission Exhibit 543 as being the
one that was retained in your possession for a while?
Mr. DAY. It is the one that I did not see again.
Mr. BELIN. It appears to be flattened out here. Do you know or have you
any independent recollection as to whether or not it was flattened out
at the small end when you saw it?
Mr. DAY. No, sir; I don't.
Mr. BELIN. Now, handing you what has been marked as Commission Exhibit
544, I will ask you to state if you know what this is.
Mr. DAY. This is the second hull that was in the envelope when I marked
the two hulls that night on November 22.
Mr. BELIN. I have now marked this envelope, which was formerly a part
of Commission Exhibits 543 and 544 with a separate Commission Exhibit
No. 717, and I believe you testify now that Commission Exhibit 544 was
the other shell that was in the envelope which has now been marked as
Commission Exhibit No. 717.
Mr. DAY. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Does that cartridge case, Exhibit 544, have your name on it
again?
Mr. DAY. It has my name on the small end where the slug would go into
the shell.
Mr. BELIN. Are all of the three shells of the same caliber?
Mr. DAY. Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Is there any other testimony you have with regard to the
cartridge cases themselves?
Mr. DAY. No, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Can you explain how you processed these shells for
fingerprints?
