Mr. Ball. Did you put any marking of yours on the empty cartridge?
Mr. Fritz. On that loaded cartridge?
Mr. Ball. On that loaded cartridge.
Mr. Fritz. I don't know, I am not sure, I don't think so.
Mr. Ball. Was there any conversation you heard that this rifle was a Mauser?
Mr. Fritz. I heard all kinds of reports about that rifle. They called it most everything.
Mr. Ball. Did you hear any conversation right there that day?
Mr. Fritz. Right at that time?
Mr. Ball. Yes.
Mr. Fritz. I just wouldn't be sure because there were so many people talking at the same time, I might have; I am not sure whether I did or not.
