Mr. Day. Captain Fritz took possession of it. I retained possession of the rifle.
Mr. Belin. Did you process this live round at all for prints?
Mr. Day. Yes, sir; I did. I did not find any prints.
Mr. McCloy. Before Captain Fritz ejected the live cartridge, did you dust the rifle for fingerprints?
Mr. Day. Not before.
Mr. Belin. Did you dust the bolt for fingerprints?
Mr. Day. Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin. Before the live round was ejected?
Mr. Day. No, no; the only part that Captain Fritz touched was the round nob. I looked at it through a glass and decided there was not a print there, and it would be safe for him to open the bolt.
Mr. Belin. You did this before it was ejected, before the live round was ejected?
