The Head Wounds Revisited

[Albert Rossi]

If I remember correctly David,it was brought to the attention of the ARRB.Possibly by a relative or maybe even a friend.

I wish that I could remember who stated it.

Mike, is this what you are thinking of? From V. Palamara, THE JFK MEDICAL REFERENCE, pt IV (2006):

254)-255) Janie B. Taylor, biologist at the National Institute of Health (NIH), across the street from Bethesda Naval Hospital, and [fnu] Israel, one of 2 African-American orderlies allegedly present during the autopsy: a) 11/24/95 ARRB interview of Taylor [see also "High Treason III" (1998), pp. 439, 492-493]--- "A man named Clarence Israel (deceased) of Rockville, MD told Taylor that his brother (deceasd and no name given) was one of two African- American orderlies present in the autopsy room of the Medical Center the day of the autopsy. Israel said his brother had not mentioned the story to anyone in- cluding his wife & daughter who his brother outlived. His brother wanted to insure that his story was known because he was verbally threatened by a guard at the time of the autopsy. Taylor said that African-Americans during that time period were often ignored and that non-African-American workers in many workplaces would assume that an African-American's presence did not count. She believed that activities were often done in their presence with the perception that the activities would never be reported. Israel told her the orderlies saw one doctor was in the autopsy room at the Medical Center who was waiting for some time prior to the arrival of the body and any other physicians. When the body arrived, many people were forced out of the room and the doctor performed some type of mutilation of three bullet punctures to the head area. The doctor was working at a very "hurried" pace and was done within a few minutes, at which point he left the autopsy room. " [see Dr. Michael Miller, below];
