Mr. Liebeler. Now I understand that you and your father saw a man out there firing in the booth next to you?

Mr. Wood. Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler. Can you tell us what happened right there at the rifle range that day?

Mr. Wood. Yes, sir; I came out there. I had been shooting for about 10 or 15 minutes and he came up next to me and started shooting, and he only shot about 8 or 10 times and I noticed every time he got through shooting he would take the breech and open it up and put the shell in his pocket. We went down to check our target and I remembered that his was almost always in the bull's-eye. And as we came back to shoot again, I talked to him and I said, "Sir, is that a 6.5 Italian carbine?" And he said, "Yes, sir."

Mr. Liebeler. Why did you ask him that question?

Mr. Wood. Because I read gun books and I was pretty sure that was a 6.5 Italian carbine and I wanted to make sure.

Mr. Liebeler. Have you told your father about this, that that was an Italian carbine?

Mr. Wood. Yes.

Mr. Liebeler. How did you express it?

Mr. Wood. I said, "Daddy, it looks like a 6.5 Italian carbine," and I asked him if it was a four-power scope, because it was funny looking, it wasn't American, and he said, "Yes, it was."
