Mr. Ball. What time were the paraffin casts made?
Mr. Sims. I don't have any idea—it was sometime after 8:55.
Mr. Ball. Can you give me an outside limit on it?
Mr. Sims. Well, sir, they started the fingerprinting at 8:55, I guess—that would take—just a rough guess, 10 or 15 minutes to do that, and they had to heat their wax first and make the preparations then for the paraffin tests.
Mr. Ball. Would you say that the paraffin tests were made not later than 10 o'clock that day?
Mr. Sims. Not later than 10?
Mr. Ball. Yes, sir.
Mr. Sims. No, sir; I couldn't say. I know that they were in the office there all this time making these paraffin casts of his hands and his face.
Mr. Ball. Then what happened?
Mr. Sims. Well, at 11:30 p.m., Barratt and I made out the arrest sheets on Oswald.
