That's a very short statement....wonder why the date and 1940 Made in Italy needed to be written in ? In addition, Day looks to be in a 2nd colored pen. That's a lot of work for a short description.The DPD, in particular Curry, were NOT HAPPY with the FBI. I can post a film if necessary where Curry is telling newsman in the hall that he understands the FBI knew info and didn't share it with DPD. Also that in the past the FBI had always worked with them. He is CLEARLY Po'd with the FBI for about 2 mins.or so. There is a news clip describing 3 gun descriptions...a British gun and the 3 shells as being 303, a MC and a 7.65 Mauser. Lt. Day with a magnifying glass and Fritz pointing out writing on the gun should have had an almost immediate ID.
Day took the gun to the lab about 7:30 that evening for evidence search. (Don't know what he was doing for over 6 hours between the 6th floor finding and that evening). Think around 6:30 he had the gun hoisted for media. There is film/pictures of him holding the gun by the trigger handle (unreal).I think the FBI took over all the evidence/the case (LBJ where he had control) and hence Curry's frustration with the FBI.
