Mr. Eisenberg. So it corresponds to the difference in the right- and left-hand portions of 672?
Mr. Stombaugh. Yes; it would.
Now, the characteristics we look for in making a hair match. First would be the color.
The matches I found in Oswald's hairs. His hairs vary from light brown to a medium brown shade.
Mr. Eisenberg. Are you talking about the known samples now?
Mr. Stombaugh. This is his known sample. In this particular match the color was medium brown, and looking at the hair throughout its entire length, it ranged from a medium brown, and this color remained constant to the tip, where the color changed to a light brown and the very tip of it was transparent, it was clear, had no color at all. There were no color pigments in the tip of the hair.
Mr. Eisenberg. Are you referring now to the pubic hair which you illustrate on the right-hand side of 672?
Mr. Stombaugh. Yes; I am referring to the pubic hair.
This is the gross appearance. I looked at it under low power where I could see the entire length of the hair.
Next, the thickness of the hair, or the diameter of the hair shaft. I found this diameter to be rather narrow for pubic hairs. Pubic hairs ordinarily are rather thick. Oswald's hairs were relatively narrow. Pubic hairs also have what we term nobbiness. You can see a nob right here, it is twisted——
