Mr. McCloy. Yes.
Dr. Shaw. Yes.
Mr. McCloy. Now, you have indicated, I think, that this bullet traveled along, hit and traveled along the path of the rib, is that right?
Dr. Shaw. Yes.
Mr. McCloy. Is it possible that it could have not, the actual bullet could not have hit the rib at all but it might have been the expanding flesh that would cause the wound or the proper contusion, I guess you would call it on the rib itself?
Dr. Shaw. I think we would have to postulate that the bullet hit the rib itself by the neat way in which it stripped the rib out without doing much damage to the muscles that lay on either side of it.
Mr. McCloy. Was—up until you gave him the anesthetic—the Governor was fully conscious, was he?
Dr. Shaw. I would not say fully, but he was responsive. He would answer questions.
Mr. McCloy. I think that is all I have.
The Chairman. I have no questions of the doctor.
