(Testimony of Sebastian F. Latona)

Mr. Dulles.
May I ask for my information here, Mr. Eisenberg, were all of these cartons, including the last two admitted in evidence, were they found in the general area of the sixth floor of the building from which it is believed the shot was fired?
Mr. Eisenberg.
Yes; Mr. Chairman. I believe that the two boxes which were just admitted into evidence as 653 and 654 were two of the three boxes which were apparently used as a rest by the assassin. They were apparently either the two bottom boxes, or there might have been an arrangement such as that one was stacked on top of the other, and the box earlier admitted into evidence was some evidence of that.
Mr. Dulles.
And in any event, does our evidence indicate that these boxes were moved from their normal position on the sixth floor to a new position near the window?
Mr. Eisenberg.
Again I believe it does indicate that at least the 10 Rolling Reader carton was moved. There was some other movement of boxes that morning, and I think they are still in the process of tracing down all of the movements.
Mr. Dulles.
Thank you.
Mr. Eisenberg.
I have a letter, Mr. Latona, from Mr. Hoover to Mr. Rankin, the general counsel of our Commission, setting forth the names of the employees of the TSBD whose prints were compared in this recent attempt you mentioned. Would you recognize the names?
Mr. Latona.
Yes; I would because I believe that report is based on my report.
Mr. Eisenberg.
If I read the name could you verify whether these individuals were the ones whose prints you checked out against the latents?
Mr. Latona.
Yes.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Haddon Spurgeon Aiken?

Yes.

Troy Eugene West?
Mr. Latona.
Correct.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Now as I understand it, these employees were not selected because any particular suspicion fell on them, but merely because of all the employees, those were the ones whose cards you knew you had in your files?
Mr. Latona.
That is right.
