Were you aware of the fact that your son indicated that the picture that the FBI showed them was not the same rifle that was in possession of this man at the rifle range?
Dr. WOOD. I am not aware of that. I am aware of the fact that he--he thinks he said that the rifle they first showed him was the rifle, but the scope was not the same scope that he showed them. I think that is what my boy said. I don't know for sure whether they showed him two different pictures or not, but one time they came out, the FBI come and stayed a very short while and said is this the scope. That is the way I understood my wife to say, and my boy said no, that is not the scope.

Mr. Liebeler.

I want to show you some pictures that have previously been marked as Commission Exhibits 451 and 453 through 456, and ask you if any of the pictures I show you resemble the men who you saw at the rifle range?
Dr. WOOD. I pick out someone nearest resembling--is that what you are asking me? Or is the likeness of either of these to him?

Mr. Liebeler.

Yes, is this the fellow you saw at the rifle range, do you think? Are any of these pictures of the man you saw at the rifle range?
Dr. WOOD. May I ask this, that the profile that I got of the man, as I told the FBI, was not a profile like this. It was a lateral side profile, because I was facing in this angle, and I said I could only describe him from a lateral view and from the shoulder up, even though I walked down to the rifle range to the target with him. I did not pay a bit of attention to him.

Mr. Liebeler.

So would the picture here, Commission Exhibit 454, be a lateral view of the type you describe.
Dr. WOOD. No, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

That is too much from the front?
Dr. WOOD. Well, now, that is a right lateral view. I assume his was a left lateral view. But still I would say that wasn't.

Mr. Liebeler.

You would say what?
Dr. WOOD. That was not the man that I saw.

Mr. Liebeler.

That was not the man you saw?
Dr. WOOD. Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

I show you a photograph that has been previously marked as Pizzo. Exhibit 453-A and ask you if you recognize any of the individuals in that photograph as the man you saw in the rifle range?
Dr. WOOD. Yes. The man holding the paper facing me with a green mark above his head.

Mr. Liebeler.

With the green mark, with two marks above him? There are two different marks and you indicated the----
Dr. WOOD. The green marking above this fellow right here [pointing].

Mr. Liebeler.

That has an "X"-shaped mark.
Dr. WOOD. Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

I show you another picture which has been marked Pizzo Exhibit 453-B, and ask you if any of the individuals there appear to be the same as the man you saw at the rifle range?
Dr. WOOD. Yes. The man with one green marking above the top of his head is the--I would identify as the man.

Mr. Liebeler.

I show you another picture that has been marked as Pizzo Exhibit 453-C, and ask you if you recognize that individual as the man you saw at the rifle range?
Dr. WOOD. I do.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you have any doubt about it?
Dr. WOOD. In my mind there is no doubt. If I just had to swear on a Bible, I couldn't, but in my mind, it is him.

Mr. Liebeler.

.Well, of course, you realize that you are testifying under oath.
Dr. WOOD. I know he is a dead man and all that, but I must say in my own mind it is him, I am positive.
