Mr. Day. Yes, sir. Actually it was dried ridges on there. There were traces of ridges still on the gun barrel.
Mr. Belin. Can you tell the circumstances under which you sent Exhibit 637 to the FBI?
Mr. Day. We released certain evidence to the FBI, including the gun, on November 22. It was returned to us on November 24. Then on November 26 we received instructions to send back to the FBI everything that we had.
Mr. Belin. Did you do that?
Mr. Day. Yes, sir; and at that time I sent the lift marked——
Mr. Belin. 637.
Mr. Day. Yes. The gun was sent back again, and all of the other evidence that I had, including cartons from Texas Bookstore, and various other items, a rather lengthy list.
Mr. Belin. Had the FBI in the interim returned the gun to you then after you sent it to them on November 22?
Mr. Day. Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin. When the rifle was photographed, as I understand it, you were the one who lifted it out of there, is that correct?
