Mr. EISENBERG. That is the ulnar portion?
Mr. MANDELLA. Pardon?
Mr. EISENBERG. Is that sometimes called the ulnar portion?
Mr. MANDELLA. Yes; the ulnar side, or the small-bone side; yes.
Mr. EISENBERG. Did you make any other identifications?
Mr. MANDELLA. Yes; I did.
Mr. EISENBERG. Could you give the next one, please?
Mr. MANDELLA. The photo marked "brown bag wrapping paper" Exhibit
No.----
Mr. EISENBERG. That is Exhibit 659, and that exhibit contains two
photographs which I now hand you, which are marked 659-A and 659-B?
Mr. MANDELLA. Yes.
Mr. EISENBERG. And did you identify the prints in those photographs?
Mr. MANDELLA. Yes; on photograph No. 1----
Mr. EISENBERG. Could you refer to the print on the back, 659-A or B?
Mr. MANDELLA. On 659-B, as I called it, photo 1, is the No. 7 finger
which is the left index finger of Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. EISENBERG. And do you have a note on the back of that picture?
Mr. MANDELLA. Yes; I do.
Mr. EISENBERG. Can you read us that?
Mr. MANDELLA. "Left index, Oswald brown bag wrapping paper."
Mr. EISENBERG. And that is in your handwriting?
Mr. MANDELLA. Yes; it is.
Mr. EISENBERG. Can you say what portion of the left index finger of Lee
Harvey Oswald that is?
Mr. MANDELLA. It is the bulb of the finger, a little to the right.
Mr. EISENBERG. That is, by bulb you mean the central portion of the
distal phalanx?
Mr. MANDELLA. The central portion to the right.
Mr. EISENBERG. Of the distal phalanx?
Mr. MANDELLA. Yes; the flesh joint; yes.
Mr. EISENBERG. And 659-A?
Mr. MANDELLA. Commission Exhibit No. 659, as I call it, photo No. 2, is
a palmprint and I identified this as the right side of the right palm
of Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. EISENBERG. The right side would again be the ulnar?
Mr. MANDELLA. It would be the ulnar side, yes.
Mr. EISENBERG. The little finger side?
Mr. MANDELLA. Yes.
Mr. EISENBERG. That also has writing on the back of it, does it?
Mr. MANDELLA. Yes; it does.
Mr. EISENBERG. Can you read that to us?
Mr. MANDELLA. "Right palm, Oswald brown bag wrapping paper."
Mr. EISENBERG. And that is in your own handwriting?
Mr. MANDELLA. Yes; it is.
Mr. EISENBERG. Was there any handwriting when you got any of these
prints, by the way?
Mr. MANDELLA. No; there wasn't.
Mr. EISENBERG. All the prints were blank on the reverse side?
Mr. MANDELLA. They were blank on the reverse side. There was
handwriting within the photographs but not----
Mr. EISENBERG. That is on the face of the photographs?
Mr. MANDELLA. Yes.
Mr. EISENBERG. Would you proceed, Mr. Mandella?
Mr. MANDELLA. Box A, photo No. 25.
Mr. EISENBERG. That is Commission Exhibit 656, and I will hand you
photo No. 25.
Mr. MANDELLA. What was that number, 656? Numbers 25 and 34.
Mr. EISENBERG. I now hand you Nos. 25 and 34. Could you identify No. 25
first Mr. Mandella?
