Mr. Belin. In that discussion did I in any way tell you what to say, or did you just tell me what you did in the nature of the proceedings here?
Mr. Barnes. I told you just what I did. I haven't been prompted by no one.
Mr. Belin. Now, what did you do when you took the palm print?
Mr. Barnes. We took them back upstairs to the ID bureau for comparison purposes.
Mr. Belin. At the time you carried back the paraffin casts?
Mr. Barnes. No. We came back and got the palm prints after I delivered the paraffin tests upstairs.
Mr. Belin. Again, would this be normal procedure to take a palm print in Captain Fritz' office as opposed to your own laboratory?
Mr. Barnes. No; it would be something different. Usually we have them coming up to our identification bureau for that purpose.
Mr. Belin. Any particular reason that you know of why Lee Harvey Oswald wasn't brought up to your identification bureau?
Mr. Barnes. Yes.
