Senator Cooper. Did it have a sling?
Mr. Boone. Yes, it did. Because Captain Fritz picked it up by the sling when he removed it from its resting place.
Senator Cooper. Looking at Exhibit 483, which represents the floor plan of the sixth floor, you have marked on there the place where you found the rifle. Is that near the stairwell?
Mr. Boone. Yes, sir; this is the stairwell right here in the northeast corner.
Senator Cooper. Also near the elevators?
Mr. Boone. Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin. Pardon me, Senator Cooper, I think you said northeast.
Mr. Boone. Northwest—I beg your pardon.
Senator Cooper. Do you remember whether Officer Mooney came up after you found the rifle?
Mr. Boone. I don't recall. There were officers, both city and county officers, and constables officers up in the area on the floor. Now, whether he was among the crowd there, I do not know.
