Dr. Jones. If this were the course of the missile, it probably—possibly could have accounted for it, although I would possibly expect it to do a tremendous amount of damage to the vertebral column that it hit and if this were a high velocity missile would also think that the entrance wound would probably be larger than the one that was present at the time we saw it.
Mr. Specter. Did you observe whether or not there was any damage to the vertebral column?
Dr. Jones. No, we could not see this.
Mr. Specter. Did you discuss this theory with any other doctor or doctors?
Dr. Jones. Yes; this was discussed after the assassination.
Mr. Specter. With whom?
Dr. Jones. With Dr. Perry—is the only one that I recall specifically, and that was merely as to how many times the President was shot, because even immediately after death, within a matter of 30 minutes, the possibility of a second gunshot wound was entertained and that possibly he had been shot more than once.
Mr. Specter. Did you observe any wound on the President's back?
Dr. Jones. No.
Mr. Specter. Was the President ever turned over?
