Inexplicable Wounds made by Special Bullets

[Herbert Blenner]

Okay, now that you've had time to digest all of that, here is a real humdinger for you.

We had an entrance wound that was 1.5 cm. on its longest dimension on Connally's back, a narrow tunnelling wound indicative of a non-tumbling bullet and a whopping 5 cm. (2 inch) exit wound just below and to the left of Connally's right nipple.

Guess what size and shape the bullet hole in the front of Connally's coat was?

Remember our friend from the FBI, SA Robert A. Frazier, the one who couldn't do math very well and told all the fibs about CE 399 to the WC? Well, it seems that Connally's suit coat, after being dry cleaned to remove any real evidence, was given to Frazier for examination. He reported to the WC he found a ROUND hole 3/8 inch or .95 cm. in diameter in the front of this coat. .95 cm.?!?! For those who don't know Metric, that is 9.5 mm, only 2.7 mm bigger than a Carcano bullet. (for those unfamiliar with Metric, the bullet hole in the coat was about 1/10th inch larger than the diameter of a Carcano 6.5mm bullet)

I'd sure like to know just when and where this bullet was actually tumbling.

And how, coming through the coat straight and true, it managed to hit Connally's wrist travelling sideways, leaving a 2.5 x .5 cm. entrance wound.

Mr. SPECTER. What did your examination reveal with respect to the back side of the coat?
Mr. FRAZIER. There was found on the coat by me when I first examined it, near the right sleeve l l /8 inches from the seam where the sleeve attaches to the coat, and 7 1/4 inches to the right of the midline when you view the back of the coat, a hole which is elongated in a horizontal direction to the length of approximately five-eights of an inch and which had an approximate one-quarter inch height.
