Commander Humes. No, sir; I did not.
(A short recess was taken.)
The Chairman. Gentlemen, the Commission will be in order. We will continue with the examination.
Mr. Specter. Doctor Humes, as to points of entry on the body of the late President, how many were there in total?
Commander Humes. Two, sir, as depicted in 385-C and 388-A.
Mr. Specter. And to points of exit, how many were there?
Commander Humes. Two, sir, as depicted in 385-D and the vicinity of 388-B. I make the latter remark as was developed earlier, in that the size of the large defect in the skull was so great and the fragmentation was so complex that it was impossible to accurately pinpoint the exit of the missile in the head wound.
Mr. Specter. Now as to that last factor, would the X-rays be of material assistance to you in pinpointing the specific locale of the exit?
Commander Humes. I do not believe so, sir. The only path that the X-rays show in any detail are of the minor fragments which passed from point A to point B.
Mr. Specter. Now that you have finished your major descriptions of the wounds, can you be any more specific in telling us in what way the availability of the x-rays would assist in further specifying the nature of the wounds?
