Dr. Shaw. It is caused by the striking at the end of the rib.
Mr. Specter. Fine. What else then is discernible from the viewing of the X-ray, Dr. Shaw?
Dr. Shaw. There is a great amount of, we would say, obscuration of the lower part of the right lung field which we know from subsequent examination was due to blood in the pleural cavity and also due to a hematoma in the lower part of the right lower lobe and also a severe laceration of the middle lobe with it having lost its ability to ventilate at that time. So, we have both an airless lung, and blood in the lung to account for these shadows.
Mr. Specter. Is there anything else visible from the X-ray which is helpful in our understanding of the Governor's condition?
Dr. Shaw. No; I don't think so.
Mr. Specter. Would it be useful—As to that X-ray, Dr. Shaw, will you tell us what identifying data, if any, it has in the records of Parkland Hospital, for the record?
Dr. Shaw. On this X-ray it has in pencil John G. Connally.
Mr. Specter. Is that G or C?
Dr. Shaw. They have a "G" November 22, 1963, and it has number 218-922.
Mr. Specter. Were those X-rays taken under your supervision?
