Mr. Eisenberg. Was this prepared by you or under your supervision?
Mr. Cole. Yes, sir.
Mr. Eisenberg. Is it an accurate photograph of 788?
Mr. Cole. It is.
Mr. Eisenberg. May this be admitted as 789, Mr. Chairman?
Representative Ford. It may be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 789, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Eisenberg. Mr. Cole, before you discuss your conclusion, the handwriting on 788 seems to have a slight blur in some parts. Could you explain that in any way?
Mr. Cole. Yes; it is my view that this document has been in contact with moisture which affected the ink of the handwriting. Such contact might have been through an effort to develop fingerprints.
Mr. Eisenberg. Was it or is it discolored at this point at all, do you think?
