However, before the postmortem examination was begun, anterior, posterior and lateral X-rays of the head, and of the torso were made, and identification type photographs, I recall having been made of the full face of the late President. A photograph showing the massive head wound with the large defect that was associated with it. To my recollection all of these were made before the proceedings began.
Several others, approximately 15 to 20 in number, were made in total before we finished the proceedings.
Mr. Specter. Now were those X-rays or photographs or both when you referred to the total number?
Commander Humes. By the number I would say they are in number 15 to 20. There probably was ten or 12 X-ray films exposed in addition.
Mr. Specter. What time did this autopsy end?
Commander Humes. At approximately 11 p.m.
Mr. Specter. What wounds did you observe on the late President, if any?
Commander Humes. The wounds which we observed on the President were—excuse me, at this point might I use the charts which I have prepared?
Would that be appropriate?
Mr. Specter. Yes; would you like to start with the neck wound?
