(Testimony of Robert Studebaker Lee)

Mr. Studebaker.
said you wanted it. It is in one of those pictures---one of the shots after the duplicate shot.
Mr. Ball.
Let's mark this picture "Exhibit F."
(Instrument marked by the reporter as "Studebaker Exhibit F," for identification.)
Mr. Ball.
Do you know who took that picture?
Mr. Studebaker.
No; I don't.
Mr. Ball.
Do you recognize the diagram?
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Did you draw the diagram?
Mr. Studebaker.
I drew a diagram in there for the FBI, somebody from the FBI called me down--I can't think of his name, and he wanted an approximate location of where the paper was found.
Mr. Ball.
Does that show the approximate location?
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
Where you have the dotted lines?
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
Now, there is something that looks like steam pipes or water pipes in the corner there?
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
Where was that with reference to those pipes--the paper wrapping?
Mr. Studebaker.
Laying right beside it--right here.
Mr. Ball.
Was it folded over?
Mr. Studebaker.
It was doubled--it was a piece of paper about this long and it was doubled over.
Mr. Ball.
How long was it, approximately?
Mr. Studebaker.
I don't know--I picked it up and dusted it and they took it down there and sent it to Washington and that's the last I have seen of it, and I don't know.
Mr. Ball.
Did you take a picture of it before you picked it up?
Mr. Studebaker.
No.
Mr. Ball.
Does that sack show in any of the pictures you took?
Mr. Studebaker.
No; it doesn't show in any of the pictures.
Mr. Ball.
Was it near the window?
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Which way from the window?
Mr. Studebaker.
It was east of the window.
Mr. Ball.
Over in the corner?
Mr. Studebaker.
Over in the corner--in the southeast corner of the building, in the far southeast corner, as far as you can get is where it was.
Mr. Ball.
You say you dusted it?
Mr. Studebaker.
With that magnetic powders.
Mr. Ball.
Did you lift any prints?
Mr. Studebaker.
There wasn't but just smudges on it---is all it was. There was one little ole piece of a print and I'm sure I put a piece of tape on it to preserve it.
Mr. Ball.
Well, then, there was a print that you found on it?
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes; just a partial print.
Mr. Ball.
The print of a finger or palm or what?
Mr. Studebaker.
You couldn't tell, it was so small.
Mr. Ball.
But you did dust it and lift some print?
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
When you say you taped it, what did you do, cover it with some paper?
Mr. Studebaker.
We have it's like a Magic Mending Tape, only we use it just strictly for fingerprinting.
Mr. Ball.
Let's stick with the paper.
Mr. Studebaker.
Well, on the paper I put a piece of 1 inch tape over it--I'm sure I did.
Mr. Ball.
After you dusted the print, you put a 1 inch tape over it?
Mr. Studebaker.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Now, did you also lift a print off of the box?
