(Testimony of Roy H. , Special Agent, Kellerman)

Mr. Specter.
you just mentioned which would have any bearing on the number of shots fired in this assassination?
Mr. Kellerman.
No, but it would be one shell, one shot.
Mr. Specter.
That would be your conclusion?
Mr. Kellerman.
That would be my conclusion.
Mr. Specter.
That it would take one shot to have separated that portion of skull?
Mr. Kellerman.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
You mentioned a missile found on a stretcher in Dallas. Will you elaborate on what you were referring to there?
Mr. Kellerman.
This was given, I believe, in your statements there, to a Special Agent Johnsen. I haven't seen this missile.
Mr. Specter.
Are you referring there to the missile which was found on the stretcher and to the sequence of events from which it was traced back to one of the two victims of this shooting?
Mr. Kellerman.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Do you have any more knowledge about that other than that which you have already mentioned?
Mr. Kellerman.
No; I do not.
Mr. Specter.
You mentioned a missile which was not removed from Governor Connally. Specifically, what did you refer to there?
Mr. Kellerman.
There was in the early--this was on the day in Parkland Memorial Hospital, and this information comes from Dr. George Burkley, the President's physician, when, I believe, I asked him the condition of Governor Connally, and have they removed the bullet from him.
Mr. Specter.
What did Dr. Burkley say?
Mr. Kellerman.
Dr. Burkley said that to his knowledge he still has the bullet in him.
Mr. Specter.
And at what time on November 22 was that?
Mr. Kellerman.
This was after we got into the hospital after the shooting, sir, between then and 2 o'clock.
Mr. Specter.
So that the operation on Governor Connally had not been completed at that point?
Mr. Kellerman.
That is correct, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Do you have any additional knowledge about any bullet in Governor Connally?
Mr. Kellerman.
I do not.
Mr. Specter.
Have you now told us about all of the facts which you took into account in your conclusion that there were more than three shots?
Mr. Kellerman.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Do you have anything to add, Mr. Kellerman, by way of explanation or elaboration, to tell us which might be helpful with respect to your conclusion based on all of these items which you have described to us that there were more than three shots?
Mr. Kellerman.
Gentlemen, I think if you would view the films yourself you may come up with a little different answer.
Mr. Specter.
Well, have you viewed the films, Mr. Kellerman?
Mr. Kellerman.
I have; yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Was there something special in your viewing of the films which led you to believe that there were more than three shots?
Mr. Kellerman.
No: it doesn't point out more than three shots, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Which films are you referring to?
Mr. Kellerman.
These are the colored ones that were taken on the right side.
Mr. Specter.
Taken by Mr. Abraham Zapruder?
Mr. Kellerman.
I don't know.
Mr. Specter.
You are not familiar with the photographer?
Mr. Kellerman.
No; I am not.
Mr. Specter.
Well, can you describe the view you say is from the right-hand side of the automobile?
Mr. Kellerman.
That is right.
Mr. Specter.
So that would be on the side of the road where the Texas School Book Depository Building was?
