Mr. Cadigan. I know I saw Exhibit No. 788 before it was treated for fingerprints. As to Exhibits Nos. 801 and 802, I don't know at this time.
Mr. Eisenberg. Are the photographs which you produced photographs of the items before they were treated for fingerprints or after?
Mr. Cadigan. Yes; before they were treated for fingerprints. In other words, it is regular customary practice to photograph an exhibit before it is treated for latents for exactly this reason, that in the course of the treatment there may be some loss of detail, either total or partial.
Mr. Eisenberg. Did you take the photographs?
Mr. Cadigan. No.
Mr. Eisenberg. Are you referring to the photographs which you produced at an earlier point?
Mr. Cadigan. The photographs that I have produced here today, the various enlargements, were made from negatives. These negatives, in turn, were made at the time the original exhibits were photographed, and this would be before latent fingerprint treatment.
Mr. Eisenberg. I asked you when I introduced those exhibits whether they had been prepared by you or under your supervision?
Mr. Cadigan. That is true.
Mr. Eisenberg. You meant, then, that they were prepared under your supervision, or did you mean that they were prepared by you in the sense that you made the enlargement from the negative?
