A. Yes, we’ve just been informed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, that they, the FBI, have the order letter from a mail order house, and the order was sent to their laboratory in Washington and the writing on this order was compared with known samples of our suspect, Oswald’s handwriting and found to be the same. Q. This order was for the rifle? A. This order was for the rifle to a mail order house in Chicago. It was [inaudible]. The return address was to Dallas, Texas, to the post office box under the name of A. Hidell, H-I-D-E-double L. This is the post office box of our suspect. This gun was mailed parcel post March 20, 1963. I understand he left Dallas shortly after this and didn’t come back until I think about two months ago. Q. Do you know again on what date this rifle was ordered and are you able to link it definitely as the rifle which you confiscated at the School Book Depository? A. That we have not done so far. If the FBI has been able to do it I have not been informed of it yet. We do know that this man ordered a rifle of the type that was used in the assassination of the President from this mail order house in Chicago and the FBI has definitely identified the writing as that of our suspect. Q. On another subject--I understand you have photographs of the suspect, Oswald, with a rifle like that used. Could you describe that picture? A. This is the picture of Oswald standing facing a camera with a rifle in his hand which is very similar to the rifle that we have in our possession. He also had a pistol strapped on his hip. He was holding two papers in his hand, with one of them seemed to be The Worker and the other says Be Militant--I don’t know whether that was headlines or the name of the paper. Q. How much did the gun cost from the mail order house? A. I understand the gun was advertised for $12.78, I believe. Q. Have you received any results on the ballistics test conducted on the gun and on Oswald? A. They’re going to be favorable. I don’t have a formal report yet. Q. But you are sure at this time they will be favorable? A. Yes. Q. Do you feel now that you have the case completely wrapped up, or are you continuing? A. We will continue as long as there is a shred of evidence to be gathered. We have a strong case at this time. Q. I believe you said earlier this afternoon that you have a new development which does wrap up the case--the first time you said the case definitely is secure. Is that correct? A. That was this morning. This additional evidence just makes a stronger case. Q. But this is not the same evidence you were referring to then? A. No, that’s true. Q. Would you be willing to say what that evidence was? A. No, sir. I don’t wish to reveal it. It might jeopardize our case.
