30. Comparison of the latent prints developed on Exhibits previously identified,
with the record prints submitted revealed:
a. Exhibits P thru T - No matching impressions.
b. Exhibit U-1 - The latent footprint was made by Mrs. C. MacDONALD's
left foot.
c. Exhibit U-2 - One latent fingerprint was made by Mrs. C. MacDONALD.
One latent palm print was made by Cpt J. MacDONALD.
d. Exhibit U-3 - Eight latent fingerptints were made by Mrs. C. MacDONALD.
Two latent palm prints were made by Mrs. C. MacDONALD and
one latent palm print was made by Cpt J. MacDONALD.
e. Exhibit U-4 - Two latent fingerprints were made by Mrs. C. MacDONALD.
One latent palm print was made by Cpt J. MacDONALD.
f. Exhibit U-5 - Seven latent fingerprints were made by Cpt J. MacDONALD
and two latent fingerprints were made by Mrs. C. MacDONALD.
One latent palm print was made by Cpt J. MacDONALD.
g. Exhibit U-6 - One latent fingerprint was made by an investigator.
31. The remaining latent prints were not identified. However, due to lack of
complete clarity in some areas of the record finger and palm prints of Cpt and
Mrs. MacDONALD, a complete elimination/identification could not be made.
32. The foot impression, appearing on Exhibit D-215, matches in general shape,
outline, and size the record footprint of Cpt J. MacDONALD. However, due to
absence of individual ridge characteristics in the photographs taken of this
Exhibit, a positive identification could not be made by the examiners.
