Representative Ford. Have we shown any place in the record that that print or a negative came from a camera——
Mr. Eisenberg. That is what I was going to proceed to do, sir.
Mr. Chairman, may we have this admitted as Exhibit 749?
Mr. McCloy. Admitted.
(Commission Exhibit No. 749 was marked and received in evidence.)
Mr. Eisenberg. I asked you before whether you could say whether this negative, which is now 749, had been used directly or indirectly to make the print 133B?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. That is correct.
Mr. Eisenberg. Could you say whether it had been used either directly or indirectly?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. It is my opinion that it was used directly to make the print. However, I cannot specifically eliminate the possibility of an internegative or the possibility of this photograph having been copied, a negative made by copying a photograph similar to this from which this print was made.
I think this is highly unlikely, because if this were the result of a copied negative, there would normally be evidence that I could detect, such as a loss of detail and imperfections that show up due to this added process.
