United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. EISENBERG. And is it in all respects identical to the first?
Mr. LATONA. The fingerprints appearing on this card are exactly the
same as those that appear on the card which you have previously
referred to as Commission Exhibit 627.
Mr. EISENBERG. Mr. Latona, do you have a copy of the second submission?
Mr. LATONA. No; I do not.
Mr. EISENBERG. I wonder whether you could supply one to us at a later
date.
Mr. LATONA. Yes; I could. If you feel it necessary, you can take this
one.
Mr. EISENBERG. Well, it is up to you. We will accept a copy.
The CHAIRMAN. If you wish, you may substitute a copy for it later.
Mr. LATONA. All right.
The CHAIRMAN. And then you may withdraw it.
Mr. EISENBERG. May I mark that as 630, with the understanding that it
can be substituted for by a copy?
The CHAIRMAN. Yes.
(The item referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 630 and
received in evidence.)
(At this point, Representative Ford entered the hearing room.)
Mr. EISENBERG. Mr. Latona, could you tell us what portion of the palm
of Lee Harvey Oswald was reproduced on the paper bag, Exhibit 626?
Mr. LATONA. The portion of the palm which was identified was of the
right palm, and it is a portion which is sometimes referred to as the
heel. It would be the area which is near the wrist on the little-finger
side. I have a photograph here which has a rough drawing on it showing
the approximate area which was identified.
The CHAIRMAN. Which hand did you say?
Mr. LATONA. The right hand.
Mr. EISENBERG. That little finger, is that sometimes called the ulnar
side?
Mr. LATONA. The ulnar side; yes, sir.
Mr. EISENBERG. Is this a true photograph made by you?
Mr. LATONA. This is a true photograph of one of the exhibits you have
received.
Mr. EISENBERG. That is to say, the exhibit showing the right palmprint,
which is marked 629?
Mr. LATONA. That's correct.
Mr. EISENBERG. Mr. Chairman, may I have this photograph admitted into
evidence as 631?
The CHAIRMAN. It may be admitted.
(The item referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 631 and
received in evidence.)
Mr. EISENBERG. Do you have another photograph there?
Mr. LATONA. I have here a photograph which is a slight enlargement of
the latent palmprint developed on the bag. It has a red circle drawn
around it showing the palmprint which was developed.
Mr. EISENBERG. Is that a true photograph made by you?
Mr. LATONA. This is. It is approximately a time-and-a-half enlargement
of the palmprint which I developed on the paper bag.
Mr. EISENBERG. May I have that admitted, Mr. Chairman, as 632?
The CHAIRMAN. It may be admitted by that number.
(The item referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 632 and
received in evidence.)
Mr. EISENBERG. Having reference to the paper bag, Exhibit 626, Mr.
Latona, could you show us where on that bag this portion of the palm,
the ulnar portion of the palm, of Lee Harvey Oswald was found?
