3 x 5 Index Card that is item # 14 On the List

[John Iacoletti]

Oh. no. Johnny.....That's not What I'm saying........The length of the card is about 1.7 times the width of the card.  So if we assign the width to be 3 inches and multiply that by 1.7 ...We find the length to be 5.1 inches... and comparing the width of the tape  with the width of the card.  We find the the card is roughly three times as wide as the tape ...which means the tape is 1 inch wide....

Sure, Mervin, and if we “assign” the width to be 6 inches, the the length is 10 inches and the tape is 2 inches.

Isn’t math fun?

PS.....  I could be wrong, but I believe that it was you who first assigned the 3 X 5 dimensions to the card.... As I recall you referred to it as a 3 X 5 index card.

Yes, you are wrong.

So you think that a 6" X 10" card would be called "SMALL"  ?


Mr. EISENBERG. I now hand you a small white card marked with certain initials and with a date, "11-22-63." There is a cellophane wrapping, cellophane tape across this card with what appears to be a fingerprint underneath it, and the handwriting underneath that tape is "off underside of gun barrel near end of foregrip C 2766," which I might remark parenthetically is the serial number of Exhibit 139. I ask you whether you are familiar with this item which I hand you, this card?
Mr. LATONA. Yes; I am familiar with this particular exhibit.
Mr. EISENBERG. Can you describe to us what that exhibit consists of, that item rather?
Mr. LATONA. This exhibit Or this item is a lift of a latent palmprint which was evidently developed with black powder.

How should I know? I’m not Eisenberg.

No, I guess you're not ...And you're no "Einstein" either

For a person with commonsense ......They would conclude that 6" X 10" would not be a "small white card"
Jerry Organ posted a photo of the bottom of the stock of a model 91 /38 Mannlicher Carcano.  The bayonet slot is clearly visible , and unless there is something drastically wrong with your eyesight you should be able to see that the so called "palm print" lift on the small white index card was lifted from that area of the WOODEN stock.   It was NOT lifted from the metal barrel.

There you go again, appealing to your “eyesight” and your “commonsense” instead of evidence.

I’m not convinced that this came from the C2766 rifle at all.
