Mr. Specter. Now, did you observe, during the course of the autopsy, bullet fragments which you might describe as little stars?
Mr. Kellerman. Yes, of the numerous X-rays that were taken mainly of the skull, the head. The reason for it was that through all the probing which these gentlemen were trying to pick up little pieces of evidence in the form of shell fragments, they were unable to locate any. From the X-rays, when you placed the X-ray up against the light the whole head looked like a little mass of stars, there must have been 30, 40 lights where these pieces were so minute that they couldn't be reached. However, all through this series of X-rays this was the one that they found, through X-ray that was above the right eye, and they removed that.
Mr. Specter. How big a piece was that above the right eye, would you say?
Mr. Kellerman. The tip of a matchhead, a little larger.
Senator Cooper. Let me ask a few questions. Mr. Kellerman, from what you have just said, I think it would be correct that from the time you began to assist in removing President Kennedy from his car to the time you left him in the emergency room that you never saw any bullet on a stretcher, either his stretcher or Governor Connally's stretcher?
Mr. Kellerman. I never saw any bullet, sir.
Senator Cooper. I believe you testified that, at the time you heard this first report, the President's car was approaching a viaduct?
Mr. Kellerman. Approaching, yes, but quite a little distance from it, sir.
Senator Cooper. Can you make any estimate as to how far away it was.
Mr. Kellerman. I don't know the footage, Senator Cooper.
