  • Would recommend reading US News interview of Specter 1966. He makes the admission that the WC based conclusions on probabilities. It is shocking that the guy who came up with the single bullet theory and was a key member of the WC staff seemed to not know what the FBI and WC actually saw in terms of evidence? In 1966 no less.
    one conclusion you can make is that the WC was clearly limited by time as were the Parkland Doctors. Specters words.
    A President is assassinated and you come up with the excuse you don't want to start WW3 ? Didn't JFK snuff that idea during the Cuban Missile Crisis?
    Oh we had enough time !! Yet here we are today waiting to review 80000 Assassination documents witheld for over 60 years?
    Sure I'm going to trust Specter and the WC where every member hated JFKs guts.. Not a chance, its not done yet.

    • THE MIINOX CAMERA part 3
      Several weeks after the assassination, the FBI also contacted Dallas Police property manager H. W. Hill, who complied with their request and made the notation on the property invoice. It is that altered copy that appears in the Warren Commission exhibits.
      On January 30, 1964, J. Edgar Hoover sent a memorandum to the Dallas SAC ordering an investigation into the matter of the missing Minox. It was the official position of the bureau that no Minox was recovered from the Paine house.
      Yet, there is developed Minox film. undeveloped film, a leather case and chain. The light-meter is a particularly foolish substitution by the FBI. This spy camera designed with the purpose of taking pictures of documents, contents of safe, etc. A Minox light meter is developed for low light use. No flash. this easily clandestine camera.
      The picture developed from the Minox camera of Oswald, the standing Marine posing with his rifle in Atsugi Japan easily dismissed this WC & FBI contention that the camera belongs to Micheal Paine. No attempt is made to explain why Mr Paine was taking pictures of LH Oswald in a foreign county in 1959. Hint: Paine wasn't. The Minox camera was owned and used by Oswald. The FBI Minox camera & Minox light meter swticheroo is illustrative of how the Hoover pursues desired outcomes. The HSCA was NOT under the thumb of Hoover, and did a superior job of exposing this lie.

        As to what happened to them, there are plenty of possibilities that don't require an inept Conspiracy. Perhaps they were given to the Kennedy family. Perhaps they weren't released because a color image was considered more shocking than black and white. Perhaps they were just left in a file folder and forgotten.

          FBI also presents a photocopy as an original evidence. The Oswald money order only exists as a photograph copy .​
          The actual money order was used as evidence, not a photocopy of it. Phtotos were taken of the money order so it could be included in the printed report.

          Mr. EISENBERG. Mr. Cole, I now hand you an item consisting of a U.S. postal money order in the amount of $21.45, payable to Klein's Sporting Goods, from "A. Hidell, P.O. Box 2915, Dallas, Texas." For the record I will state that this money order was included with the purchase order in Exhibit 773 which has just been identified, and was intended and used as payment for the weapon shipped in response to the purchase order, 773. I ask you, Mr. Cole, whether you have examined this money order for the purpose of determining whether it was prepared by the author of the standards?
          Mr. COLE. Yes, sir.
          Mr. EISENBERG. What was your conclusion, Mr. Cole?
          Mr. COLE. It is my conclusion that the handwriting on this money order is in the hand of the person who executed the standard writing.
          Mr. EISENBERG. Mr. Chairman, may I have this money order admitted as 788?
          Representative FORD. It may be admitted.
          (The document was marked as Commission Exhibit No. 788, and was received in evidence.)
          Mr. EISENBERG. Have you prepared a photograph of that Exhibit 788, the money order?
          Mr. COLE. Yes; I have.
          Mr. EISENBERG. And you have produced that photograph for me just now, Mr. Cole?
          Mr. COLE. Yes.
          Mr. EISENBERG. Was this prepared by you or under your supervision?
          Mr. COLE. Yes, sir.
          Mr. EISENBERG. Is it an accurate photograph of 788?
          Mr. COLE. It is.
          Mr. EISENBERG. May this be admitted as 789, Mr. Chairman?
          Representative FORD. It may be admitted.


          Mr. EISENBERG. Mr. Cadigan, I now hand you Commission Exhibit No. 788, and ask you if you have examined that exhibit?
          Mr. CADIGAN. Yes; I have.
          Mr. EISENBERG. For the record, that is the money order which was included with the purchase order to Klein's. Have you prepared a photograph of that exhibit, Mr. Cadigan?
          Mr. CADIGAN. I have.
          Mr. EISENBERG. That will be Cadigan Exhibit No. 11.
          (The document referred to was marked Cadigan Exhibit No. 11.)
          Mr. EISENBERG. And this was taken by you or under your supervision?
          Mr. CADIGAN. Yes.
          Mr. EISENBERG. And is it an accurate photograph of the money order, Exhibit No. 788?
          Mr. CADIGAN. It is.
          Mr. EISENBERG. Did you compare Exhibit No. 788 with the standards to determine whether Exhibit No. 788 had been written by Lee Harvey Oswald?
          Mr. CADIGAN. Yes.
          Mr. EISENBERG. What was your conclusion?
          Mr. CADIGAN. That the postal money order, Cadigan Exhibit No. 11, had been prepared by Lee Harvey Oswald.
          Mr. EISENBERG. The postal money order is Commission Exhibit No. 788 and your picture is Cadigan Exhibit No. 11, is that correct?
          Mr. CADIGAN. That is correct.​


          Mr. KLEIN - At this time would you please be seated, Mr McNally. I would now direct your attention to exhibit JFK F-504, which is a microfilm reproduction of an order form to Klein's Sporting Goods Co. for a rifle, plus the envelope in which the order form was sent; and JFK F-509, which is a money order made out to Klein's Sporting Goods Co., both of which documents have the name Hidell on them.
          Mr. MCNALLY - I have both of them.
          Mr. KLEIN - JFK F-504 and F-509; do you recognize those documents?
          Mr. MCNALLY - I do.
          Mr. KLEIN - Did the entire panel have an opportunity to examine those documents?
          Mr. MCNALLY - They did.
          Mr. KLEIN - Did the panel reach a conclusion with respect to those documents?
          Mr. MCNALLY - They did.
          Mr. KLEIN - What was that conclusion?
          Mr. MCNALLY - That JFK exhibit F-504 and F-509 were written by the same person, again with the caveat. JFK exhibit F-504 is a photo reproduction of a microfilm.
          Mr. KLEIN - The document, which is marked F-509, the money order, is an original document; is it not?
          Mr. MCNALLY - It was; yes.
          Mr. KLEIN - And your conclusion is they were written by the same person who wrote the other documents?
          Mr. MCNALLY - That is right.​

          • [QUOTE=Fiver;n850654]

            The Dallas Times Herald article said "Dr. Perry added, "It is conceivable it was one wound, but there was no way for me to tell. It did however appear to be the entrance wound at the front of the throat." The article makes it clear that the two wounds that might be from the same bullet are "Wounds in the lower front portion of the neck and the right rear side of the head."

            Why would the FBI, or anyone else, for that matter, insert the idea that the head wound and the neck wound were from the same bullet?

            [/QUOTE
            "Neck Wounds Bring Death to President"
            Wounds in the lower front portion of the neck and right rear side of the head ended the life of President John F. Kennedy, say doctors at Parkland Hospital. Whether there were one or two wounds was not decided. The front neck hole was described as an entrance wound. The wound at the back of the head, while the principal one, was either an exit or gangential entrance wound. A doctor admitted that it was possible there was only one wound.​ (A lie inserted by her editor as demanded by the FBI>

            Connie Kritzberg wrote SECRETS from the Sixth Floor Window in 1994.
            Later Connie and a photographer. took a walking tour of downtown Dallas and commenting on the sullen quiet building and citizens in shock. The published story is titled:City in Shock In the process of this walk, Connie and the photographer notice a red painted C L O S E D sign on a nightclub door, wThe letters were written quickly and the sign posted but the paint is wet and drips when the sign is pasted on the door, The dripping blood red paint sign seemed worthy of a picture. They did not realized that they were outside the Carousel Club--why would they care? Oswald was alive.

            Why would the FBI ...? You ask? It is rather charming that you are looking for reasons why the FBI can't get "conspiracy" right.
            This is November 22nd. I don't understand your concerns that the FBI is thinking about an autopsy at this time. They want the wounds from the back.
            The FBI is very active on day one, The FBI doesn't know what it doesn't know. They do know whatever Hoover wants he gets.

            This manipulating the press, does it happen often? We do not know.
            Certainly Hoover has power over any public figure, given his ability to damage a person. Example, Roosevelt wanted the OSS to carry on after WWII.
            Hoover had many articles published with headlines like American Does't Need A Gestapo

            Consider the Minox Camera, isn't "logical" either. Light Meter, HA.
            It suits Hoover to put as much "blame " on the Dallas Police.

            and as for this ongoing question, what the fudge kind of conspiracy is this?
            You ask this question as if there are only two options: Lee Oswald is lone communist did it by his lonesome Or is a group as big as a the Barnum & Bailey Circus.

            This exaggeration to make a point is very DVP of you. There are times I think your are him.

            • In a normal criminal trial, the prosecution would be required to establish an item as evidence BEFORE a judge would allow it to be submitted as an exhibit.
              Before a chain of possession could be established, the item would have to be identified by the first witness who came in contact with it in order to establish its relevance to the case. After such identification, the prosecution would then ask the court to accept the evidence as an exhibit.


              But in this case, although the Warren Commission's agenda was to present the evidence in such a way that Oswald "would have been convicted at trial", it did not follow normal judicial protocol.
              Instead, it accepted items as exhibits without so much as an identification from the person who found them. This could not have been an oversight, because they did this time and time again.


              Among those items which were accepted WITHOUT identification from the people who found them were:

              Commission Exhibit 139 - the C2766 rifle was never identified by the person who found it ( Dallas Deputy Sheriff Eugene Boone ) as the rifle he found on the sixth floor.

              Commission Exhibit 162 - the "tannish grey" jacket found under a car in a parking lot a block from the Tippit murder scene was never identified by the person who reported it found ( Off. J.T. Griffin ) as the jacket he reported.

              Commission Exhibit 399 - the alleged "stretcher bullet" was never identified by the person who found it ( Darrell Tomlinson ) as the bullet he found.

              Commission Exhibits 543, 544 and 545 - the three 6.5 rifle shells were never identified by the person who found them ( Dallas Deputy Luke Mooney ) as the shells he found on the sixth floor.

              Commission Exhibit 573 - the "Walker Bullet" was never identified by the person who found it ( B.G. Norvell ) as the bullet he found.

              Commission Exhibit 594 - the four shells found at the Tippit murder scene were never identified by the witnesses who found them ( Domingo Benavides and Barbara and Virginia Davis ) as the shells they found.

              All of these items were accepted by the Warren Commission as Exhibits without any positive identifcation from the people who found them.
              Had this case gone to criminal trial, without the positive identifcation from the people who found them, none of these items would have been admitted as evidence.





              But im sure all this was presented at Oswalds ''MOCK TRIAL'' ???? You know the one where he was found guilty of JFKs and Officer Tippets murder.!!!!!

              • The lies of the Warren Report.



                But the evidence said:
                sawyer-exhibit-A.jpg




                The discovery of a white jacket is corroborated by the testimony of Officer Thomas Hutson.






                But the evidence said:




                #3. ON EXAMINATION OF THE "PAPER GUNSACK" TO DETERMINE IF IT CARRIED A RIFLE:


                The Report concluded:
                The preponderance of the evidence supports the conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald.... carried the rifle ....concealed in the bag...... ( pg. 137 )


                But the evidence said:




                #4. ON WHETHER OR NOT JOHNNY CALVIN BREWER OBSERVED OSWALD PULL A GUN IN THE TEXAS THEATER:


                The Report concluded:
                "Johnny Brewer testified he saw Oswald pull the revolver..... " ( pg. 179 )


                But the evidence said:




                You can believe the lies of the Report or you can go by the evidence.
                To believe WC apologists, the witnesses all suffered from color blindness, being unable to tell the difference between white, blue, gray, and tan.

                Apparently, they couldn't read either.

                They couldn't tell a 7.65 Mauser from a "6.5" "made in Italy".

                They couldn't tell a ".38 auto" shell from a ".38 spl"

                They couldn't tell a 38" package from one that was 27".

                Even the smartest people in the city, the doctors, couldn't tell an entrance wound from an exit wound.

                They should have changed the name of the city from Dallas to "Dumbass" because they could never get the facts right the first time.

                It's amazing how stupidity could reign supreme in that city and yet they got the right man on the first try.



                Either they were the stupidest people who ever lived or they were Liars

                  Boone was not the only officer who saw the rifle before it was moved.

                  Mr. BALL - I show you a rifle which is Commission Exhibit 139. Can you tell us whether or not that looks like the rifle you saw on the floor that day?
                  Mr. BOONE - It looks like the same rifle. I have no way of being positive.​


                  Mr. BELIN. I am going to hand you what has been marked Commission Exhibit 139 and ask you to state if you know what this is.
                  Mr. DAY. This is the rifle found on the sixth floor of the Texas Book Store at 411 Elm Street, November 23, 1963.
                  Mr. BELIN. What date?
                  Mr. DAY. November 22, 1963.
                  Mr. BELIN. Does it have any identification mark of yours on it?
                  Mr. DAY. It has my name "J. C. Day" scratched on the stock.
                  Mr. BELIN. And on the stock you are pointing to your name which is scratched as you would hold the rifle and rest it on the stock, approximately an inch or so from the bottom of the stock on the sling side of the stock, is that correct?
                  Mr. DAY. Yes, sir.​


                  The rifle was also photographed before being moved.

                    Hello and thanks for your response. You almost got it
                    This is not a conversation about having a trial about a body. This is about what would be allowed as evidence in Dallas Texas where the trial would take place.. Because the chain of evidence is broken. No “evidence” obtained by the Bethesda autopsy would be accepted by a Texas court as it was performed out of state in Maryland. Texas has jurisdiction.
                    I posted multiple examples of quotes about jurisdiction and evidence. the last one from a conversation Wade has with Robert Oswald.

                    I didn’t say there couldn’t be a trial. Sure have a trial. If there was an autopsy performed in Dallas who has jurisdiction, all evidence from the legal autopsy is admissible. But because the body was NOT autopsied in Dallas, any “evidence “ from the body been contaminated.
                    (I am sure everyone remembers the defense in OJ trial concerning mishandled evidence.)
                    Dr Rose performed the Tippet autopsy. That is a legal procedure that produces evidence that can and would have used in a Dallas court to convict Oswald of Tippet’s murder. .
                    Hi scottnapa - I thought you did.

                    ''The body of John Kennedy was removed from Dallas before an autopsy was performed. Therefore, no murder happened legally in Texas, because the evidence had been tampered with by removing it from its jurisdiction. No body no crime.'' - your post #2688.

                    And

                    ''Once the body is removed, there can be no trial in Dallas for the death of the President.'' - your post 3647.

                    My expectation had Oswald lived is that the case against him would most definitely have gone to trial in Dallas and that the judge would have permitted evidence from all medical professionals as requested by prosecution or defence counsels, albeit with the jury being warned that usual medical and legal requirements for a Dallas autopsy had not been met and thus any medical bar for the prosecution to reach would be high.

                    That to me as an English legal professional (admittedly with no experience of American criminal law) seems fair and reasonable. Those insisting on an autopsy in the Dallas hospital were clearly in the legal right. However, in all the shocking circumstances, I consider it understandable that the Secret Service insisted upon transporting Kennedy's body and his widow back to Washington immediately.

                    It is probably impossible to be absolutely certain as to what the judge would have done as there almost certainly would have been no precedent for him to follow. I am assuming here that no other autopsy of a murder victim was ever held outside Dallas when the murder was committed there.

                    That all said, I strongly believe Oswald would have been confronted with a guilty verdict even if the judge had disallowed medical evidence from the prosecution. As particularly set out by Sir Herlock and Fiver, there is already more than ample evidence for a conviction (fingerprint, eyewitness, fraudulent documentation and other circumstantial).

                    Had Oswald lived to claim that there was a second shooter who actually killed Kennedy (and I doubt that was the case although it looks the best way of seeking to lessen his starring role), it wouldn't really have helped him much as he still would have been guilty of conspiracy to murder and facing the same ultimate penalty.

                        Lets look at the chain of custody.

                        * Parkland maintenance employee Darrell Tomlinson finds the bullet by complete luck. He gives the bullet to OP Wright. When shown CE 399, Tomlison says "it appears to be the same one" but he "cannot positively identify the bullet".
                        * Parkland personnel officer OP Wright gives the bullet to Richard Johnsen. When shown CE 399, Wright "stated that it looked like the one he gave to Johnsen on 11/22/63, but he could not positively identify it.​"
                        * Secret Service agent Richard Johnsen gives the bullet to James Rowley. When shown CE 399, Johnsen "stated that he could not identify that slug as the one he
                        received from Wright and gave to James Rowley​".
                        * Secret Service head James Rowley gives the bullet to Elmer Todd. When shown CE 399, Rowley "advised he could not identify this bullet as the
                        one he received from . . . Johnsen and gave to . . . Todd".
                        * FBI Agent ​Elmer Todd marks his initials on the bullet. Elmer Todd gives the bullet Robert Frazier. When shown CE 399, Todd positively identifies it "from initials marked thereon".
                        * FBI firearms expert Robert Frazier, when shown CE 399, positively identifies it because "It has Frazier’s mark on it."

                        Obviously, the Parkland employees didn't know the way to be able to positively identify an object was to make a distinctive mark on it in a way that does not interfere with lab examination of the evidence. I don't have enough information to tell if the Secret Service should have, The FBI did.

                        And as repeatedly pointed out, the stretcher bullet (CE 399) was conclusively matched to the bullet fragments taken from Connally's wrist (CE 842).​

                          Mooney was not the only person to see the shells before they were moved and they were photographed.

                          Mr. BALL - Those were empty shells?
                          Mr. MOONEY - Yes, sir.
                          Mr. BALL - They were turned over to Captain Fritz?
                          Mr. MOONEY - Yes, sir; he was the first officer that picked them up, as far as I know, because I stood there and watched him go over and pick them up and look at them. As far as I could tell, I couldn't even tell what caliber they were, because I didn't get down that close to them. They were brass cartridges, brass shells.​


                          Mr. BELIN. Lieutenant Day, you took some two pictures of those shell casings. Let me first get you through all the pictures you took. Where did you next take pictures on the sixth floor after you took the pictures of the shell casing; what did you do then?
                          Mr. DAY. I went, after these were taken--after your number.
                          Mr. BELIN. 715 and 716.
                          Mr. DAY. Were taken, I processed these three hulls for fingerprints, using a powder. Mr. Sims picked them up by the ends and handed them to me. I processed each of the three; did not find fingerprints. As I had finished that, Captain Fritz sent word for me to come to the northwest part of the building, the rifle had been found, and he wanted photographs.
                          Mr. BELIN. All right. You have mentioned these three hulls. Did you put any initials on those at all, any means of identification?
                          Mr. DAY. At that time they were placed in an envelope and the envelope marked. The three hulls were not marked at that time. Mr. Sims took possession of them.
                          Mr. BELIN. Well, did you at any time put any mark on the shells?
                          Mr. DAY. Yes, sir.
                          Mr. BELIN. All right. Let me first hand you what has been marked as "Commission Exhibit," part of "Commission Exhibit 543-544," and ask you to state if you know what that is.
                          Mr. DAY. This is the envelope the shells were placed in.​

                            Mr. BELIN. Lieutenant Day, did you ever try to make any ballistic identification of the bullet slug that was removed from the residence of General Walker?
                            Mr. DAY. No, sir. I don't do that work. We have a laboratory in Dallas that we ask to do that. Wait a minute now, you said identification? My answer should be no, sir.
                            Mr. BELIN. I will ask you this. Have you ever seen Commission Exhibit 573 before, if you know?
                            Mr. DAY. Yes, sir; I have.
                            Mr. BELIN. Could you tell us what 573 is?​

                            Mr. DAY. This slug was gotten from the home of former General Edwin Walker, 4011 Turtle Creek, April 10, 1963, by Detective B.G. Brown, one of the officers under my supervision. He brought this in and released it to me.
                            Mr. BELIN. You are reading now from a report that is in your possession, is that correct?
                            Mr. DAY. Yes, sir. Those are the official records of my office.
                            Mr. BELIN. Was that prepared under your supervision?
                            Mr. DAY. Yes, sir.
                            Mr. BELIN. In the regular course of your duties at the Dallas Police Department?
                            Mr. DAY. Yes, sir. The slug has my name "Day" scratched in it.​

                              It's not a problem if you read the actual evidence.

                              Mr. HILL. Then we went back over to the house next door, which would have been the first one east of this one, and made sure it was securely locked, both upstairs and downstairs. There was no particular sign of entry on this building at all. At this point we came back out to the street, and I asked had Owens received any information from the hospital on Tippit.
                              And he said they had just told him on channel 2 that he was dead. I got back in 105's car, went back around to the original scene, gave him his car keys back, and left his ear there, and at this point he came up to me with a Winston cigarette package.
                              Mr. BELIN. Who was this?
                              Mr. HILL. This was Poe.
                              Mr. BELIN. You went back to the Tippit scene?
                              Mr. HILL. Right.
                              Mr. BELIN. You went back to 400 East 10th Street?
                              Mr. HILL. Right. And Poe showed me a Winston cigarette package that contained three spent jackets from shells that he said a citizen had pointed out to him where the suspect had reloaded his gun and dropped these in the grass, and that the citizen had picked them up and put them in the Winston package.
                              I told Poe to maintain the chain of evidence as small as possible, for him to retain these at that time, and to be sure and mark them for evidence, and then turn them over to the crime lab when he got there, or to homicide.

                              Mr. POE. I talked to a Spanish man, but I don't remember his name. Dominique, I believe.
                              Mr. BALL. Domingo Benavides?
                              Mr. POE. I believe that is correct; yes, sir.
                              Mr. BALL. What did he tell you?
                              Mr. POE. He told me, give me the same, or similar description of the man, and told me he was running out across this lawn. He was unloading his pistol as he ran, and he picked the shells up.
                              Mr. BALL. Domingo told you who was running across the lawn?
                              Mr. POE. A man, white man.
                              Mr. BALL. What was he doing?
                              Mr. POE. He was unloading his pistol as he run.
                              Mr. BALL. And what did he say?
                              Mr. POE. He said he picked the two hulls up.
                              Mr. BALL. Did he hand you the hulls?
                              Mr. POE. Yes, sir.
                              Mr. BALL. Did you put any markings on the hulls?
                              Mr. POE. I couldn't swear to it; no, sir.
                              Mr. BALL. What did you do with the hulls?
                              Mr. POE. I turned the hulls into the crime lab, which was at the scene.​

                              Mr. BARNES. I photographed the scene; yes. There was a couple of hulls that was turned over to me.
                              Mr. BELIN. Do you mean empty shell casings?
                              Mr. BARNES. Empty .38 caliber hulls was turned over to me at the scene by patrolman--I believe I would be safe in saying Poe, but I am not sure about that.
                              Mr. BELIN. How do you spell that?
                              Mr. BARNES. P-o-e, I believe is the way he spells it.
                              Mr. BELIN. You think he was the one that turned over some shells?
                              Mr. BARNES. I believe it is. I am not too sure right now, but I believe that is what is on the report. I would have to check it to be sure.​

                              Mr. BELIN. Sergeant, I will ask you to examine Commission Exhibits Nos. Q-74, Q-75, Q-76, and Q-77, and ask you to state whether or not there appears to be any identification marks on any of these exhibits that appear to show that they were examined or identified by you?
                              Mr. BARNES. I placed "B", the best that I could, inside of the hull of Exhibit 74---I believe it was Q-74 and Q-75, as you have them identified.
                              Mr. BELIN. Now all four of these exhibits appear to be cartridge case hulls, is that correct?
                              Mr. BARNES. .38 caliber.
                              Mr. BELIN. .38 caliber pistol?
                              Mr. BARNES. Yes.
                              Mr. BELIN. They are kind of silver or chrome or grey in color? You can identify it that way?
                              Mr. BARNES. Yes.
                              Mr. BELIN. How many of these hulls, to the best of your recollection, did you identify out there?
                              Mr. BARNES. I believe that the patrolman gave me two, and Captain Doughty received the third.
                              Mr. BELIN. The two that the patrolman gave you were the ones that you put this identification mark on the inside of?
                              Mr. BARNES. Yes.
                              Mr. BELIN. What instrument did you use to place this mark?
                              Mr. BARNES. I used a diamond point pen.
                              Mr. BELIN. You put it on Q-74 and Q-75?
                              Mr. BARNES. It looks like there are others that put their markings in there too.
                              Mr. BELIN. Did you have anything to do with identifying either the slugs that were eventually removed from Officer Tippit's body, or the pistol?
                              Mr. BARNES. No.
                              Mr. BELIN. You never put any identifying marks on those. Is there anything else that you did out at the crime scene?
                              Mr. BARNES. We made a crime sketch of the scene.
                              Mr. BELIN. You made a crime sketch of the scene?
                              Mr. BARNES. Yes.
                              Mr. BELIN. Anything else?
                              Mr. BARNES. No; not that I can recall at this time.
                              Mr. BELIN. What did you do with those cartridge case hulls, Q-74 and Q-75?
                              Mr. BARNES. We placed them in our evidence room, and turned them over to the FBI. I believe Special Agent Drain of the FBI was the agent that took them.
