Mr. Oswald. Page 3, the sixth line, the word that was crossed off or out of the contract was the word "gifts."
Mr. Jenner. And was that done in the course of the discussion and preceding the execution of the document?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; that is correct.
Mr. Jenner. So the document is in the same condition it was when executed?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Would you identify the next exhibit, Mr. McKenzie?
Mr. McKenzie. The next exhibit is a photocopy of an investment agency agreement. It is Commission Exhibit No. 278. This exhibit bears the date of December 30, 1963, and is an agreement by and between John M. Thorne and James H. Martin, co-trustees, of Dallas County, Tex., referred to in the exhibit as principal, and the First National Bank of Fort Worth, Tex., referred to in the exhibit as agent.
The exhibit consists of 3 pages, together with a schedule A and a letter addressed to the Trust Department of the First National Bank of Fort Worth, Tex.
This exhibit is a photocopy of a photocopy of a duplicate original.
I have seen the duplicate original upon which it had the names, handwritten names of John M. Thorne, co-trustee, and James H. Martin, co-trustee, as principal, on page 3, and Preston A. Utterbach, Vice President and Trust Officer of the First National Bank of Fort Worth, Tex.
