(Testimony of J. C. Day)

Mr. Belin.
Who took that picture, if you know?
Mr. Day.
I beg pardon?
Mr. Belin.
Who took that picture?
Mr. Day.
I took this picture.
Mr. Belin.
I am going to now hand you what has been marked as Commission Exhibit 739 and ask you to state if you know what this is.
Mr. Day.
Yes, sir; this is a view of the Texas School Book Depository made from about a half block south looking north on Houston Street on November 22, 1963.
Mr. Belin.
Now, returning for the moment to Exhibit 738, do you recognize any items in there as items that you turned over to the FBI?
Mr. Day.
All of these items were released to the FBI.
Mr. Belin.
Which ones are there now?
Mr. Day.
There is a shirt.
Mr. Belin.
This is the same shirt that has been marked Commission Exhibit 150?
Mr. Day.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
All right. What else?
Mr. Day.
A revolver.
Mr. Belin.
Did you put any initials on the revolver or not?
Mr. Day.
No, sir; I don't think I did.
Mr. Belin.
All right. What else?
Mr. Day.
A blanket.
Mr. Belin.
Is that the blanket that has been marked "Commission Exhibit 140" here?
Mr. Day.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
All right. What else?
Mr. Day.
A live round.
Mr. Belin.
Is that the live round that you earlier identified as what Captain Fritz ejected from the rifle?
Mr. Day.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
What else?
Mr. Day.
Two spent hulls, and an envelope in which they were in.
Mr. Belin.
Those are the ones you have earlier identified, is that correct?
Mr. Day.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
What else?
Mr. Day.
One piece of cardboard with a palmprint on it that has been identified as that of Oswald.
Mr. Belin.
That is the piece of cardboard that you tore off this cardboard box, the cardboard box being Commission Exhibit No. 648, is that correct?
Mr. Day.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
What else?
Mr. Day.
Two----correction, one .38 caliber slug, and a button off a policeman's uniform.
Mr. Belin.
Is that slug, do you know where that came from?
Mr. Day.
I didn't personally collect that. It was in the stuff that was given to Vince Drain.
Mr. Belin.
All right. Anything else, if you know?
Mr. Day.
There is a plastic box, I don't remember what was in it, a slip of paper reading "Dallas County Hospital District," laying with the box, and there is an envelope laying with the live round with information stating that it is a live round from the gun found on the sixth floor of the Texas Book Depository.
Mr. Mccloy.
Did you refer to the paper sack?
Mr. Day.
Yes; I didn't mention that. Also one homemade paper bag previously identified as the bag found in the southeast corner of the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository.
Mr. Mccloy.
What is the revolver that you previously mentioned, where did it come from?
Mr. Day.
I understand that was the one that was in Oswald's possession, reportedly the one used to shoot the officer.
