Mr. Frazier. Yes; they could.
Mr. Specter. Did you have occasion to examine the trousers which have been heretofore identified in Commission hearings as those worn by Governor Connally on November 22, 1963?
Mr. Frazier. Yes, I did.
Mr. Specter. May the record show that Mr. Frazier has taken and is observing the trousers which have been identified in the record, through a picture of the front side, bearing Commission Exhibit No. 687 and a picture of the rear side bearing Commission Exhibit No. 688.
Now, referring to those trousers, what if anything did you observe in the nature of a defect or hole, Mr. Frazier?
Mr. Frazier. In the area which would be the left-knee area of the person wearing the trousers, there was a hole which is roughly circular in shape, and approximately one-quarter of an inch in diameter with some possible expansion of the hole due to slight tearing of the cloth at the outer margins of the hole.
Mr. Specter. Had the trousers been cleaned and pressed prior to your examination?
Mr. Specter. Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter. Were there sufficient characteristics available for you to formulate any conclusion as to the cause of that hole?
Mr. Frazier. No, sir; I can say that it had the general appearance of a bullet hole but I could not determine the direction of the bullet if, in fact, it had been caused by a bullet.
