| Description: | Chair, Mr. STOKES, recognizes committee member FLOYD J. FITHIAN, Fithian wants to know if bullet fragments were left in Governor JOHN CONNALLY - Baden answers that it is questionable whether bullet hit Connally's rib or the cavity circle following bullet caused rib to break, however there were no fragments found in his chest (14:34:55) Fithian asks is fragments found in Connally's thigh or wrist - Baden responds a pin head sized fragment was seen in an X-ray of hip but not recovered but that a fragment was recovered from Conally's wrist (14:36:03) Baden tells the court fragments found could be accounted for as missing pieces of bullet 399 (14:38:00) Fithian asks about the claim that foreign material was found in JFK's brain (14:38:12) Exhibit of brain appears on the exhibit easel (14:38:47) Close up of brain exhibit with Baden using pointer to indicate where foreign material thought to be seen in photos and images of brain, an oblong blue discoloration, which he discounts as displaced blood vessels - X-rays of the brain detected no metal objects (14:39:20) Chair recognizes EDGAR to question Baden, he requests 3 exhibits be displayed (14:41:20) Shot returns to exhibit easels and Edgar asks if different reactions of JFK's chest and head to bullets fired from the same gun is a normal response - Baden answers yes, the head cavity is different from the chest cavity, hard tissue vs. soft tissue (14:42:00) Chair recongizes Representative HAROLD S. SAWYER to question Baden, Sawyers asks Baden if he noticed JFK move his hands to his throat before Connally had reacted at all and if this can be discounted - Baden answers that yes he notices the hands move but that there is no way to compare how people react to injury, JFK's spinal cord may have been shocked by the shot thus causing the quicker reaction (14:45:30) | |
