Mr. Dulles. Air dried, artificially?
Mr. Frazier. I couldn't say whether any outside heat had been applied but it did not appear that any heat had been applied to the blood.
Mr. Specter. Proceed.
Mr. Frazier. On the hole on the back of the coat although it had the general appearance and could have been a bullet hole, possibly because of the cleaning and pressing of the garment. I cannot state that it actually is a bullet hole nor the direction of the path of the bullet, if it were a bullet hole.
Mr. Specter. Is the nature of the opening consistent with being a bullet hole?
Mr. Frazier. Yes, sir; it is.
Mr. Specter. And is it consistent with a bullet hole caused by a missile traveling from the back to the front of the wearer of the garment?
Mr. Frazier. I could not determine that.
Mr. Specter. You couldn't determine that it was, but could it have been?
Mr. Frazier. It could have been, yes; either way.
