I lave had the three caliber .30 cerbine~ in connection with the above-entitled case examined dvises ne that the firing pin inpreeeione in these eee not bear enfficient Iicroecopic nerke for determining whether net these three epeoinene were fired in the one weepon or for Iith teat epecinene. This in eleo true of the heed of the cartridge Iith respect to breech face nu-ke and ejector nerke. There ere on these three cartridge cases e fee extractor marks, however, the nerke ere not sufficiently dieti.nct to identify these three epecinene ee having been extracted from the some Ienpon. The nerke on one of thu ere entirely inadequate for comparison and only a fer einileritiee were found between the extractor aarke on the other two epeoieene There is e poeaibdlity that the extractor marks on the letter specimens could be identified with those on test cartridge caeee fired from the same weapon -an-lull-v mi? r Io OF 1 M '>c ml 9 I 12.o»w**
