Mr. DAY. At 1:23 p.m.
Mr. BELIN. And the remainder of the writing was put on that night at
the Dallas Police Department, is that right?
Mr. DAY. Yes, sir; about the same time that I marked those two hulls.
Mr. BELIN. Could you tell us what exactly you did in testing those
hulls for fingerprints?
Mr. DAY. I used fingerprint powder, dusted them with the powder, a dark
powder. No legible prints were found.
Mr. BELIN. After you did this, you dusted the prints and you put them
in the envelope, 717, and then what did you do?
Mr. DAY. I released them to Detective Sims or rather he took them.
Mr. BELIN. And then what did you do?
Mr. DAY. At that time I was summoned to the northwest corner of the
building.
Mr. BELIN. Then what did you do?
Mr. DAY. Sir?
Mr. BELIN. Then what did you do?
Mr. DAY. I met Captain Fritz. He wanted photographs of the rifle before
it was moved.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember if Captain Fritz told you that the rifle had
not been moved?
Mr. DAY. He told me he wanted photographs before it was moved, if I
remember correctly. He definitely told me it had not been moved, and
the reason for the photographs he wanted it photographed before it was
moved.
Mr. BELIN. I am going to hand you what the reporter has marked or what
has been marked as Commission Exhibit 718, and ask you to state, if you
know, what this is.
Mr. DAY. This is a photograph made by me of the rifle where it was
found in the northwest portion of the sixth floor, 411 Elm Street,
Dallas.
Mr. BELIN. I am going to hand you what has been marked as Commission
Exhibit 719 and ask you to state if you know what that is.
Mr. DAY. It is a picture of the portion of the northwest floor where
the rifle was found. This is a distance shot showing the stack of boxes.
Mr. BELIN. Is Commission Exhibit 718 a print from the same negative as
Commission Exhibit 514?
Mr. DAY. The same negative?
Mr. BELIN. Yes, sir.
Mr. DAY. No, I don't think so. This is a copy of this picture.
Mr. BELIN. You are saying 514 was made, I assume, as a copy of 718. By
that you mean a negative, a second negative, was made of 718 from which
514 was taken?
Mr. DAY. Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Otherwise it is the same?
Mr. DAY. Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. 718 appears to be a little clearer and sharper.
Mr. DAY. You can tell from looking at the two pictures which is the
copy.
Mr. BELIN. Was any other picture of that rifle made in that position?
Mr. DAY. Nos. 22 and 23 were both made.
Mr. BELIN. Your pictures which you have marked No. 22 and No. 23 were
both made, one was made by you, is that Commission Exhibit 718----
Mr. DAY. Yes, sir.
