Mr. Specter. Did you see where the stretcher was then placed?
Mrs. Nelson. Yes, it was put into trauma room 2.
Mr. Specter. Where was President Kennedy's body at that time?
Mrs. Nelson. It was in—it had been placed in a casket in trauma room 1.
Mr. Specter. And was the casket on any sort of an object or was it on the floor or what?
Mrs. Nelson. It was on a form of roller-type table.
Mr. Specter. And did—do you know what President Kennedy's body was in, if anything, at that time?
Mrs. Nelson. Yes, one of the nurses, Miss Hutton, came out and said that the President was having extensive bleeding from the head and they had wrapped four sheets around it but it was still oozing through, so I sent her to the second floor to obtain a mattress cover, a plastic mattress cover, to put in the casket prior to putting his body in the casket, so the mattress cover was placed in the casket and I did not see this happen, but this is how it was explained to me by the nurse, and the plastic was placed on the mattress cover and the cover was around the mattress.
Mr. Specter. Which nurse explained that to you?
Mrs. Nelson. Miss Bowron and Miss Henchliffe.
