Mr. DAY. On November 22.
Mr. BELIN. You are referring to Commission Exhibit 637?
Mr. DAY. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Is there any particular reason why this was not released on
the 22d?
Mr. DAY. The gun was being sent in to them for process of prints.
Actually I thought the print on the gun was their best bet, still
remained on there, and, too, there was another print, I thought
possibly under the wood part up near the trigger housing.
Mr. BELIN. You mean the remaining traces of the powder you had when you
got the lift, Exhibit 637, is that what you mean by the lift of the
remaining print on the gun?
Mr. DAY. Yes, sir. Actually it was dried ridges on there. There were
traces of ridges still on the gun barrel.
Mr. BELIN. Can you tell the circumstances under which you sent Exhibit
637 to the FBI?
Mr. DAY. We released certain evidence to the FBI, including the gun, on
November 22. It was returned to us on November 24. Then on November 26
we received instructions to send back to the FBI everything that we had.
Mr. BELIN. Did you do that?
