Ok, I tried making a discord server for JFK assassination debate. Invite: https://discord.gg/Zx8E5tV

Maybe assassination research is overdue for a discord server!

What subjects will be in there?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiOmXYdft7w 3 minutes into this video, Dr. McClelland claims that Grossman was indeed there.

BTW, I don't know why Weisberg tried to theorize that a scalpel was used to cut the clothing, to me it seems equally likely the defects on the front of the clothing could've been made with scissors.

Those "burn marks" are probably just a chemical used by the FBI to test for metallic residue, right?

BTW Cliff, what is your stance on the defects on the front of JFK's clothing?

There's actually a part in Humes' WC testimony where Allen Dulles himself points out the extreme sharp angle for the head shot shown in the Rydberg drawings.

I searched "Clay Bertrand 1950-1963" on newspapers.com. Apparently there was a boxer in Louisiana named Clay Bertrand who made the papers a few times.

Carrico did say that he thought it was likely that the slits in the shirt and the nick in the tie were caused by the cutting of the clothing. He didn't say it was done with a scalpel, though.

Where can we see this? It's existed in it's finished form for well over 2 years, hasn't it?

I tried searching through Weisberg's information on Carrico and Livingstone's info on Bowron, neither one ever specifically said a scalpel was used to cut the clothing.

Where did Bowron say this? I tried looking in *Post Mortem*, but couldn't find anything specific.

Where did the cremation story come from? Anyone?

Dr. Carrico had one interview where he indicated that scissors were used to cut off the clothing.

Thank you for these invaluable scans. BTW are you going to make digital copies of all of Livingstone's medical interviews?

Do you think Lipsey or Karnei were ever there?

Just smoking a cigar, or not there at all?

Huber was quoted in an article which appeared in Philadelphia Sunday Bulletin on 11/24/1963. The article reads: “The President was lying on a rubber-tired table when I came in,” Father Huber said. He was standing at his head. Father Huber said the President was covered by a white sheet which hid his face, but not his feet. “His feet were bare,” said Father Huber... He said he wet his right thumb with holy oil and anointed a Cross over the President’s forehead, noticing as he did, a “terrible wound” over his left eye. However, in a 1964 letter to Salandria, Shirley Martin wrote "Father Huber says he never told this to the press. However, he supposes that someone to whom he spoke may have relayed it to the newsmen" Salandria wrote an early article mentioning Huber, but he himself did not interview Huber, he wanted Mrs. Martin to do it because she was already planning to take her family to a mass in Dallas on the first anniversary. Never seen the Manchester papers, I don't know why anybody hasn't already swooped in to the Wesleyan University library and scanned them (the ones that aren't sealed until 2067). Vince Palamera copied some of them, but I don't know if he did for all of them.

Huber used the word "left" when talking to Shirley Martin (with her family present), Mark Lane, and Lawrence Schiller. The transcripts don't show him being specifically asked, but it wouldn't be too unreasonable to infer that he meant anatomical left. But also, Shirey's daughter Teresa said in a 6/16/2000 email to John Kelin "I remember him touching his forehead in describing Kennedy's wound. He was an animated little guy".

I am working on a megapost listing all of the evidence for small wound(s) in the front of Kennedy's head. Huber was taking about the anatomical left. He said that, at the very least, he saw a "blotch of blood" on the left forehead which he thought looked like a wound. If you want, I can link and quote more details.

http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/pdf/lane_interviews/huber.pdf Found it. Thank you.

This is unrelated, but it wouldn't let me send you a PM. This is from your online book: A year and a half later, while interviewing Father Huber for his movie Rush to Judgment, Mark Lane followed up on Martin's questions, and received a similar response. (The transcript to this interview was made available by the Wisconsin Historical Society.) Huber told Lane "Well, his face was covered with blood and there was a blotch of blood on the left forehead, which I, at the time, thought possibly could be a bullet wound, but I learned later that it was not, that I was entirely mistaken, because he had been shot in the back of the head. I did not see really any wounds on him, because I only uncovered his face to the tip of his nose. I learned later that the bullet came out, perhaps at the jaw, I don't know." I'm trying to compile information on alleged wounds in the front of the head. By any chance do you have a copy of this transcript to share?

You might've already known this, but Dr. Finck's 1965 report to General Blumberg contains the out-of-place phrase "black fouling": "...In my opinion, the oval wound in the right posterior superior aspect of the chest of Kennedy was an ENTRY. The edges were fairly regular and there was black fouling of the edges" (ARRB MD 28). According to scientific literature on gunshot wounds, "fouling" refers to the residue of burned gunpowder and soot spread from the discharge of a firearm at very CLOSE RANGE (JCLC, 1948; AJCP, 1953; CSLR, 1964; AJCP, 1969). Officially, Finck's reference to "black fouling of the edges" can only be interpreted as a mistake.
