SE 164-81

---

[REDACTED] stated that the photograph above OJ2-1 on page 107 bore a close resemblance to the subject, especially if chin KF3-15, page 83, were substituted. Photograph, OJ2-1, resembled the subject closely from the upper lip upwards.

---

The subject's hair was jet black, greasy, had a patent leather sheen, marcelled, combed almost straight back, but with a slight angle toward the right side of the head and had a slight part on the left.

---

He felt the subject might have been a Mexican- American with possibly some American Indian blood.

---

[REDACTED] who has been in [REDACTED] for a number of years, [REDACTED] which he stated matched the color of the subject's suit coat.

---

[REDACTED] was also exhibited an artist's composite sketch of the subject. He stated the sketch closely resembled the subject, but suggested the following changes:

---

The hair should be as it appears in the sketch, not photograph, at the top of page 104 in the above-mentioned catalog; it should be marcelled, with a slight part on the left, with a patent leather sheen.

The mouth's lower lip is too full. Mouth KE 1-16, page 61, should be substituted.

The chin is too broad and chin KF 3-22, page 83, should be substituted.

The cheeks should be as in cheeks KJ 3-1, page 108.

---

SA [REDACTED] penciled in a narrower lower lip, narrowed the chin and shaded the area on either side of the chin in the artist's sketch. [REDACTED] stated that with these changes the resemblance was closer, but that the entire face should be longer. The sketch, as it originally existed resembled a "clean cut American" too much.
