Mr. Ball. What I want to ask you is what you did at that time. Can you tell me something about yourself, where you were born, where you went to school, and what your training is?
Mr. Studebaker. I was born in Niles, Mich., and attended several schools and have been in Dallas and I have been in the Air Force and came to Dallas in 1950, and have been in the Police Department since February 8, 1954, and right now I am a detective in the Crime Scene Service Section of the ID Bureau of the Dallas Police Department.
Mr. Ball. What sort of training did you have for the crime lab work that you are doing?
Mr. Studebaker. It's just on-the-job training—you go out with old officers and learn how to dust for prints and take pictures and fingerprints.
Mr. Ball. Have you had any special training in identification fingerprints?
Mr. Studebaker. No, sir; we don't classify prints too much where we are. We just compare them.
Mr. Ball. What is the technique of lifting a print, as you call it?
Mr. Studebaker. Well, it's just using the regular dusting powder that we have and if you find something that you want to dust, you dust for the print. We used on this special case up there on those boxes and things, we have a special powder that we used on that.
Mr. Ball. Then you take a picture of the print—a photograph?
Mr. Studebaker. Of this area, we just taped it to preserve it. We just lift the print and then tape it to preserve it.
