Mr. Stombaugh. I examined the hairs found on the blanket and determined that most of them were limb and pubic hairs. In other words, they originated either from the leg or the arm or from the pubic area. I found several head hairs on the blanket also.
These hairs I compared with known hair samples from Lee Harvey Oswald. I found several of the limb hairs from the blanket and several of the pubic hairs from the blanket matched in all observable microscopic characteristics, and concluded these hairs could have come from Oswald.
Mr. Eisenberg. Where did you get the known sample, Mr. Stombaugh, of Lee Oswald's hair?
Mr. Stombaugh. These were obtained and were sent to the laboratory by the FBI office in Dallas.
I do not know whether the agent in Dallas personally took the samples or had a member of the Dallas Police Department take the samples.
Mr. Eisenberg. Were these hairs taken from one area or were they a representative sample?
Mr. Stombaugh. It was a fairly good representative sample.
Mr. Eisenberg. Could you review the microscopic characteristics which led you to your conclusion, Mr. Stombaugh?
Mr. Stombaugh. This chart contains a photomicrograph of Oswald's pubic hairs. This is just a very small area taken of a glass microscope slide containing the hairs. There were numerous other hairs. The photograph on the right shows one of the hairs I removed from the blanket, and one of the hairs from Oswald, showing, generally, the match.
Mr. Eisenberg. Now, did you take these photographs on the left and right side yourself?
