PROCESS OF ELIMINATION cont. 67
Therefore, to retain any of these five as possibilities, one must
accept that Frazier was wrong in believing that only fragments were found in
the car; that he was vrong again in saying there was no evidence of penetra-
tion in the car; and that 399 was recovered from the car's interior and
placed on the stretcher at Parkland. In the case of JFK-lb, we must also
accept that 399 avoided distortion although piercing the President's skull.
An additional hurdle common to this group, but one which must be
surmounted in order to retain any of its nine alternatives, is the fact that
the Secret Service was in complete possession of the car from the time of
its arrival at Parkland until it was flowm from Dallas three hours later at
3:35 p.m. It follows, then, that if anyone recovered 399 from the car at
Parkland and placed it on a stretcher (or gave it to someone who did), it
almost certainly could have been no one but a member of that agency.
(At this point, it would be well to recall that it is most
unlikely that either of the two stretchers handled by Tomlinson could have
been used by President Kennedy 3 the Commission not only agreeing on this
point, but is unequivocal in excluding the possibility entirely. We have
also seen that there is at least a reasonable doubt that either stretcher
was used by Governor Connally -- despite the Commission's conclusion that
the one removed from the elevator by Tomlinson was indeed the Governor's.
This leads us to the near certainty that no more than one of the
twro stretchers on which Tomlinson could have "found" the bullet was con-
nected with either victim; and that it is entirely possible that neither
of them was so involved.
These conclusions, unaided by any other considerations, but fully
supported by the evidence, inevitably raise the possibility that 399 was
planted. However, since it is our purpose to find, if possible, a legitimate
