This uniform is also in my possession.The detectives investigating the case reported that there were no tears in my uniform and the only thing they noticed on my clothing was a dirty grease smear on the right shoulder of my shirt.“There is no dirty gx-ease smear on the right shoulder. There are small holes and a great deal of quarry dirt on the shoulder.Scars on Holster “It would have been impossible for these detectives to examine my clothing at the scene because there was insufficient light for such close scrutiny.At the hospital my uniform wa« removed and immediately taker home by my wife.
