Commander Humes. Yes, sir; had it only been one it might have been difficult to ascertain whether it was.
Mr. McCloy. Shelving or not?
Commander Humes. Yes, sir; in or out, but it encompassed both tables, sir.
Mr. Dulles. Is the angle of declination that you—one sees there from in and out approximately the angle you think at which the bullet was traveling at the time of impact and exit?
Commander Humes. That is our impression, sir.
Mr. Dulles. So then the shot would have been fired from some point above the head of the person hit?
Commander Humes. Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter. Dr. Humes, would you elaborate a bit on the differences in the paths, specifically why the bullet went in one direction in part and in part in the second direction, terminating with the fragment right over the right eye?
Commander Humes. Yes, sir.
I will make a drawing of the posterior portion of the skull showing again this beveling which we observed at the inner table of the skull.
