into the car on the .run, and was driven away. (VI H 266-267)
The Wounds Cry out Conspirady
.
Of course the wounds inflicted on persons in Dealey Plaza did not
inspire confidence in a lone-assassin killing. The President had been
hit in the back at a point which caused Secret Service Agent Glen A. Bennett,
who was stationed in the Presidential follow-up car to say that he saw a
shot "hit the President about four inches down from the right shoulder.
111
The President was further wounded in the anterior neck. Much of his head was
shattered and great avulsive wounds had resulted when pieces of skull were
driven out of his skull. Governor Connally suffered a wound in the back,
right chest, right wrist and left femur. A bystander, a third man, James
T. Tague, was wounded in Dealey Plaza. (W-116) Such carnagé, added to
damage to, the Presidential limousine apparently resulting from the shooting,
underscores the ominous and precipitous nature of the Pentagon's conclusion
the very aftemoon of the assassination that there was no conspiracy.
Let us for the moment consider the, tiny neck wound in the front of
the President and what should have been the natural action of an (innocent
government to that wound. The Commission made reference to the televised
statement of Dr. Malcolm 0. Perry with reference to the throat wound:
"Immediately after the assassination, many people reached
erroneous conclusions about the source of the shots because
of Dr. Perry's'observations to the press. Dr. Perry stated
merely that it was 'possible' that the neck wound was a
wound of entrence.' (W-90,91)
