Mr. BALL. Would you mind making a mark there with a pen? That is on F. Draw on Exhibit F, draw an arrow. The arrow in ink on F shows the location? Mr. WEITZMAN. Down on the floor. Mr. BALL. Shows the location of the gun on the floor? Mr. WEITZMAN. Yes. Mr. BALL. Was there anything between the place the gun was found; were there any boxes between where the gun was found and the stairway? Mr. WEITZMAN. Yes, sir; there was a row of boxes between the stairway and the gun because we came up the stairway and we couldn't help but see it if it was in the open. Mr. BALL. Take E here and make a mark on E as to the location of the place where the gun was found. Mr. WEITZMAN. Same area. Mr. BALL. The same area and the arrow marks the place where the gun was found? Mr. WEITZMAN. Yes, sir. Mr. BALL. Off the record. (Off record discussion.) Mr. BALL. In the statement that you made to the Dallas Police Department that afternoon, you referred to the rifle as a 7.65 Mauser bolt action? Mr. WEITZMAN. In a glance, that's what it looked like. Mr. BALL. That's what it looked like--did you say that or someone else say that? Mr. WEITZMAN. No; I said that. I thought it was one. Mr. BALL. Are you fairly familiar with rifles? Mr. WEITZMAN. Fairly familiar because I was in the sporting goods business awhile. Mr. BALL. What branch of service were you in? Mr. WEITZMAN. U.S. Air Force. Mr. BALL. Did you handle rifles? Mr. WEITZMAN. Mostly Thompson machine guns and pistols. Mr. BALL. In the Air Force, what were you? Mr. WEITZMAN. I started out as a flying sergeant. Mr. BALL. You flew the plane? Mr. WEITZMAN. Yes, sir. Mr. BALL. How did you end up? Mr. WEITZMAN. I ended up flying them; ended up in a prison camp. Mr. BALL. Where? Mr. WEITZMAN. I was overseas in Japan. Mr. BALL. You also said at the time the rifle was found at 1:22 p.m., is that correct? Mr. WEITZMAN. I believe that is correct. I wouldn't commit myself there because I am not sure; I'm not positive that was it. Mr. BALL. In this statement, it says Captain Fritz took charge of the rifle and ejected one live round from the chamber. Mr. WEITZMAN. Yes, sir. Mr. BALL. He did eject one live round? Mr. WEITZMAN. Yes, sir; he did eject one live round, one live round, yes, sir. You said remove anything from the rifle; I was not considering that a shell. Mr. BALL. I understand that. Now, in your statement to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, you gave a description of the rifle, how it looked. Mr. WEITZMAN. I said it was a Mauser-type action, didn't I? Mr. BALL. Mauser bolt action. Mr. WEITZMAN. And at the time I looked at it, I believe I said it was 2.5 scope on it and I believe I said it was a Weaver but it wasn't; it turned out to be anything but a Weaver, but that was at a glance. Mr. BALL. You also said it was a gun metal color? Mr. WEITZMAN. Yes. Mr. BALL. Gray or blue? Mr. WEITZMAN. Blue metal. Mr. BALL. And the rear portion of the bolt was visibly worn, is that worn?
