(Testimony of J. C. Day)

Mr. Belin.
You don't have any independent knowledge of that, do you?
Mr. Day.
No, sir; I did not collect that.
Mr. Belin.
I am going to hand you what has been marked "Commission Exhibit 740" and ask you to state if you know what that is. Do you have any further comments, by the way, of 738?
Mr. Day.
I can tell from this what it is.
Mr. Belin.
You are looking toward your own inventory and you are pointing to a picture of Exhibit 738?
Mr. Day.
Yes; it was a bullet fragment taken from the body of John Connally at Parkland General Hospital in Dallas. The slip was in connection with a fragment, the hospital slip previously mentioned.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else on 738?
Mr. Day.
That is all that is in the picture.
Mr. Belin.
All right. What about exhibit----
Mr. Day.
There was one other article released with this, an envelope containing the three negatives I made of the prints on the side of the magazine housing of that 6.5 rifle, which I did not definitely identify as belonging to Oswald.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else on 738?
Mr. Day.
That is all, sir.
Mr. Belin.
What about Exhibit 740?
Mr. Day.
740 is a photograph looking northeast toward the Texas School Book Depository. This shows Elm Street at the point at which the President was shot.
Mr. Belin.
Do you know when that was taken?
Mr. Day.
November 22, 1963, in the afternoon sometime after 3 o'clock.
Mr. Belin.
All right. I am going to hand you Exhibit 741 and ask you to state if you know what this is.
Mr. Day.
741 is a photograph of the lunchroom area on the second floor of the Texas School Book Depository taken November 25, 1963.
Mr. Belin.
Do you know what direction the camera is facing?
Mr. Day.
The camera is facing west looking toward the west door of the lunchroom.
Mr. Belin.
All right. I'm going to hand you what has been marked "Exhibit 742" and ask you to state if you know what this is.
Mr. Day.
That is the outside of the door shown in the picture on 741, which door----
Mr. Belin.
There appear to be two doors shown on 741. One door that is open and one door that is closed with the window in it.
Mr. Day.
This is outside of the door that is closed with the window in it. This picture looks east, made on the second floor of the Texas School Book Depository from a position near the stairway.
Mr. Belin.
That would be the stairway coming----
Mr. Day.
Stairway coming down from the third floor.
Mr. Belin.
I will hand you what has been marked "743" and ask you to state if you know what this is.
Mr. Day.
743 is a photograph of the stairway leading to the third floor from the second floor of the southwest corner of the Texas School Book Depository. Make a correction on that previous picture 742. I stated that was taken from a position of the stairway leading to the third floor. It should read taken from a position of the stairway leading to the first floor.
Mr. Belin.
Is there any other evidence pertaining to fingerprints or palm809prints that you have not discussed?
Mr. Day.
I can't think of any at the present time. I believe that pretty well covers my participation in this investigation.
Mr. Belin.
Is there any other evidence that you can think of pertaining to the rifle that you have not discussed that you can think of at this time?
Mr. Day.
Not that I can think of.
Mr. Belin.
Is there any other thing that you did pertaining to the investigation of the assassination of the President that you can think of at this time?
Mr. Day.
Under my direction they made paraffin casts of the hand of Lee Harvey Oswald in Captain Fritz' office.
