Mr. Day. I don't remember.
Mr. Belin. Could you locate with an arrow on Exhibit 719 the place where the rifle would have been?
Mr. Day. Here.
Mr. Belin. You have so noted with an arrow on 719. Was the rifle resting on the floor or not?
Mr. Day. Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin. It was?
Mr. Day. The rifle was resting on the floor.
Mr. Belin. What else did you do in connection with the rifle at that particular time?
Mr. Day. Captain Fritz was present. After we got the photographs I asked him if he was ready for me to pick it up, and he said, yes. I picked the gun up by the wooden stock. I noted that the stock was too rough apparently to take fingerprints, so I picked it up, and Captain Fritz opened the bolt as I held the gun. A live round fell to the floor.
Mr. Belin. Did you initial that live round at all?
