Mr. STOMBAUGH. I have made several thousand hair examinations and about twice as many fiber examinations. Mr. EISENBERG. Have you testified in court? Mr. STOMBAUGH. Yes, sir; I have testified in approximately 28 States, both federal and local courts, as an expert. Mr. EISENBERG. Mr. Chairman, I would like permission to examine the witness as an expert in this area. The CHAIRMAN. The witness is qualified. Mr. EISENBERG. Mr. Stombaugh, I now hand you Commission Exhibit No. 140, which for the record consists of a blanket which was found in the garage of Mr. and Mrs. Paine, and a piece of string marked Paine Exhibit No. 2, and I ask you whether you are familiar with these items? Mr. STOMBAUGH. Yes, sir; I am. My mark is here on the blanket, and when this was received in the FBI laboratory this string was around a portion of it. Mr. EISENBERG. Could you tell us what your mark is exactly, Mr. Stombaugh? Mr. STOMBAUGH. Due to the fact this was a piece of fabric and hard to mark, I put a piece of evidence tape on the blanket, stapled it to the blanket, and put my initials "PMS" with the date 11-23-63 thereon. Mr. EISENBERG. When did you receive this blanket, Mr. Stombaugh? Mr. STOMBAUGH. This was approximately 7:30 a.m., on the morning of November 23, 1963. Mr. EISENBERG. Can you describe the shape of the blanket and the position of the string, Paine Exhibit 2, when you received it? Mr. STOMBAUGH. May I use this? Mr. EISENBERG. What you are holding up is a piece of paper which--will you describe it, please? Mr. STOMBAUGH. This is a piece of kraft paper approximately the same shape as this blanket. When I received the blanket, it had been folded together with both ends even; a slight triangle had been folded into one corner of the blanket, and another fold had been taken into the blanket thus. Mr. EISENBERG. When you say "thus," you are folding the piece of kraft paper, and is the paper now folded into approximately--in a manner approximating the way the blanket was folded when you received it? Mr. STOMBAUGH. That is correct. Mr. EISENBERG. Mr. Chairman, may I have permission to introduce the piece of paper which the witness has so folded? The CHAIRMAN. It may be so admitted. Mr. EISENBERG. That will be Commission Exhibit 663. (Commission Exhibit 663 was marked and received in evidence.) Mr. EISENBERG. There is a safety pin inserted into Exhibit 663, Mr. Stombaugh. Was there an equivalent safety pin on the blanket? Mr. STOMBAUGH. Yes, sir; there was a much larger safety pin attached to the blanket in approximately the same place as the small pin in the piece of paper. Mr. EISENBERG. Now, the blanket is folded so as to approximate approximately a right angle triangle, and the safety pin is at one angle of that triangle opposite the right angle, is that correct? Mr. STOMBAUGH. The safety pin would be at the vertex of the right angle---- Mr. EISENBERG. Now---- Mr. STOMBAUGH. Of the triangle.
