Mr. Ball. You never made one before?
Mr. Hicks. Never before.
Mr. Ball. The other tests were always on the hands?
Mr. Hicks. Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball. Was there some reason for that?
Mr. Hicks. I had never had the occasion arise that I know of where anyone had that suggested, that a paraffin test be made of a cheek. On other occasions they were only interested in the hand.
Mr. Ball. Did you do anything else with respect to the investigation?
Mr. Hicks. I don't recall anything outstanding that I did in the investigation further there. Now, I know we were all pretty well busy there until about 2 or 2:30 in the morning but most of it was, I would imagine regular officework and just back and forth if someone had asked did we get a picture of this and picture of that; well, I can't recall any other particular item that I might have done.
Mr. Ball. Were you present when Oswald was arraigned in the identification bureau?
Mr. Hicks. No, sir; I left just a few minutes before that, I understand.
