The tie is tied in four-in-hand fashion but somewhat askew from the way a person would normally tie a four-in-hand knot.
Situated on the left anterior aspect of this knotted portion of the tie at a point approximately corresponding with the defects noted previously in the two layers of the shirt is a superficial tear of the outer layer only of the fabric of this tie which, I believe, could have been caused by a glancing blow to this portion of the tie by a missile.
Mr. Specter. Mr. Chief Justice, I move at this time for the admission into evidence of Exhibits 393 through Exhibit 396, the three articles of clothing and the photograph which we have just used.
The Chairman. They may be admitted.
(Exhibits Nos. 393 through 396 were received in evidence and may be found in the Commission files.)
Mr. McCloy. Commander, did you say left or right?
Commander Humes. No, sir. In fact, the way this bow is tied now it would appear to be on the left of this tie, but it is kind of twisted out of shape.
Mr. McCloy. Yes. It is twisted. It is not too clear.
Commander Humes. It is not too clear, it is not clear how that might have been in position with the shirt, sir.
Mr. Specter. Now, Doctor Humes, at one point in your examination of the President, did you make an effort to probe the point of entry with your finger?
