Was it on the underside of the rifle, was it between the rifle and the stock or where was it as you recall?
Mr. Wade. Specifically, I couldn't say because—but he said they had a palmprint or a fingerprint of Oswald on the underside of the rifle and I don't know whether it was on the trigger guard or where it was but I knew that was important, I mean, to put the gun in his possession.
I thought we had that all the time when I took the complaint on the thing.
Let me see what else they had that night. Well, they had a lot of the things they found in his possession. They had the map, you know, that marked the route of the parade. They had statements from the bus driver and the taxicab driver that hauled him somewhere.
I think they varied a little as to where they picked him up but generally they had some type of statement from them.
That is generally what they gave me now.
Mr. Rankin. That is all you recall as of that time?
Mr. Wade. Yes, sir.
Mr. Rankin. Did you give any report to the press then about——
Mr. Wade. No; I will tell you what happened then.
