Mr. Latona. The easiest points visible here, right offhand, point No. 11 which is a black line that goes upward and its relationship to point No. 10. This is known as the short ending ridge as is seen here. Its relation to point No. 8. Point No. 11 is a black line going upward. Point No. 8 is a black line going downward and there are one, two, three, ridges which are between the two. Over here in the latent print you find No. 11 which is a black line going upward. It is a short line to the other end of the point No. 10, and three ridges intervene between that and point No. 8, which is going downward.
One ridge to the right and going in an upward direction is point No. 7—7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
Mr. Dulles. And you identified 11 points of similarity?
Mr. Latona. That is right.
Mr. Dulles. Between the inked palmprint of Lee Harvey Oswald and this palmprint taken from this cardboard carton?
Mr. Latona. That is right.
Mr. Dulles. What is this white line that goes up through each?
Mr. Latona. This is a crease in the center of the palm, a flexure crease of that area.
Mr. Dulles. The palm did not touch the carton at that point?
Mr. Latona. That is right.
