Mr. Day. If I had the proper equipment I think I could do it here. I don't have very good equipment for making comparisons here. I need two fingerprint glasses.
It was my understanding the prints had been identified by the FBI. I don't have official word on it.
Mr. Belin. Is there any other thing that you did with regard to the rifle that you haven't discussed this far that you can remember right now?
Mr. Day. No, sir; I released it to the FBI then, and they took possession of it.
Mr. Belin. Did you ever hear this rifle referred to as a 7.65 Mauser or as any type of a Mauser?
Mr. Day. Yes, sir; it wasn't referred to as that. Some of the newsmen, when I first carried the rifle out, asked me if it was a .30-06, and at another time they asked me if it was a Mauser. I did not give them an answer.
Mr. Belin. Were there newsmen on the sixth floor at the time the rifle was found, if you know?
Mr. Day. I think there was.
Mr. Belin. Did you ever describe the rifle as anything but a 6.5-caliber with regard to the rifle itself?
Mr. Day. I didn't describe the rifle to anyone other than police officers.
