(Commission Exhibit No. 750 was marked and received in evidence.)
Mr. Eisenberg. When did you receive the camera, Mr. Shaneyfelt?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. It was—I can't pinpoint the date exactly, I don't have the notes here for that. It was, I would say, the latter part of February, not too long after it had been recovered on February 24.
Mr. Eisenberg. Was it in working order when you received it?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. No; it had been slightly damaged.
Mr. Eisenberg. Could you explain that?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. In order to be able to make a photograph with the camera, I had to make slight repairs to the shutter lever, which had been bent. I straightened it and cleaned the lens in order to remove the dirt which had accumulated. These were the only things that had to be done before it was usable to make pictures with it.
Mr. Eisenberg. Did you clean the inside or the outside of the lens?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. The outside of the lens.
Mr. Eisenberg. And the shutter lever you are referring to is the little red-tipped lever protruding at the outside of the camera?
