Mr. Chairman, I have now placed the opposite side of the rifle to the floor, and may the record show that the package is much flatter. The rifle when inserted firstly was turned on the side of the bolt which operates the rifle which forced it up higher.
Now does the package look more familiar to you, Mrs. Paine?
Mrs. Paine. I recall it as being more like this, not as lumpy as the other had been.
Mr. Jenner. More in the form it is now?
Mrs. Paine. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. Now directing your attention to the rifle itself, which is Commission Exhibit 139, when did you first see that rifle, if you have ever seen it?
Mrs. Paine. I saw a rifle I judge to have been the same one at the police station on the afternoon of November 22, I don't recall the strap.
Mr. Jenner. You don't recall at the time you saw it on the 22d of November in the police station that it had a strap?
Mrs. Paine. It may well have had one but I don't specifically recall it. I was interested in the sight.
Mr. Jenner. Had you ever seen this rifle prior to the afternoon of November 22?
