Mr. Liebeler. He told you what he said to the fellow after the assassination. Now you mentioned previously that when you warned your son to be careful of that rifle because of your fear that it would blow up and that your son had told you, don't worry, it is an Italian carbine, is that correct?
Dr. Wood. Well——
Mr. Liebeler. And that is substantially what he had mentioned to you at the range, that it was Italian?
Dr. Wood. Yes.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you know whether or not your son spoke to this man before he told you it was an Italian carbine, or not?
Dr. Wood. I feel sure he did not speak to the man before.
Mr. Liebeler. Your son's statement was based only on his observation of the rifle, is that correct?
Dr. Wood. On his observation of the rifle and what he knows about guns, which is quite a bit. He studies about guns a lot.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you think your son would be qualified to make a statement in this regard?
Dr. Wood. I feel sure more so than I am. I know very little about guns, but he knows quite a bit.
