Commander Humes. Yes, sir.
Mr. McCloy. And amongst them was the shirt.
Commander Humes. Yes, sir.
Mr. McCloy. From your examination of the wounds, of the defects, I guess you would call it in the shirt——
Commander Humes. Yes, sir.
Mr. McCloy. Would you from examining the tissues of that shirt have any conclusions as to how that wound, how that missile passed through the shirt? Was it from the rear to the front, or from the front to the rear?
Commander Humes. As I examined that exhibit today, sir, the threads are fragmented and distorted in such a fashion which would indicate to me that the missile passed through the shirt from the rear to the front.
