It is felt that the three yellowish, 7reen nylon fibers gemoved from Payr Shorts could have origi 2d from the carpet in Williams’ bedrouu. Numerous light violet acetate fibers were recovered from Payne's shorts. These acetate fibers, although somewhat lighter in shade, are similar to violet acetate fibers present in the composition of a bedspread removed from Williams' bedroom, item 189, in microscopic characteristics and optical properties. These light violet acetate fibers from Payne's shorts exhibit the same microscopic characteristics and same optical properties as light violet acetate fibers recovered from vacuum sweepings from the 1970 Chevrolet station wagon driven by Williams. It is felt that these Light violet acetate fibers from Payne's shorts could have originated from Williams’ bedspread. Additional examinations are presently being conducted in an attempt to explain the apparent "bleaching" of the yellowish green nylon fibers and the light violet acetate fibers removed from Payne's shorts. Si te ee ee SO shorts. These rayon fibers exhibit the same microscopic characteristics and same optical properties as present in the composition of a fabric sample taken from a yellow blanket located under the bed in Williams' bedroom, item 94. Accordingly, these rayon fibers from Payne's shorts could have originated from the blanket from which item 94 was obtained. Numerous yellow rayon fibers were also removed from Payne's One blue acrylic fiber was removed from Payne's shorts. This acrylic fiber exhibits the same microscopic characteristics and same optical properties as fibers present in the composition of a fabric sample that was taken from a blue rug located in the back porch area of Williams’ home, item 73. This blue acrylic fibec could have originated from the same source as item 73. Several fine white to light brown animal hairs were removed from Payne's snorts. One fine white to light brown animal hair was also present in debris recovered from the victim at the Medical Examiner's Office, item 4C. These animal hairs exhibit the same microscopic characteristics as present in hairs taken from the dog located at Williams* home, item 97 and item 154. Accordingly, these hairs from Paynz's shorts and in item 4C could have originated from the same source as item 97 and item 154. It is pointed out that animal hairs do not possess sufficient unique microscopic characteristics to positively associate an animal hair with a particular animal. No hairs like those in the head and pubic hair samples from Williams, items 97 through 103, were recovered from the victim’s shorts or his body. Additional Laboratory examinations are still in progress and will be the subject of a separate report.
