(Testimony of Margaret M. Henchliffe)Miss HENCHLIFFE. Oh, gee. Let's see---there was Dr. Baxter, Dr. Perry, and you want all of them that were in the room? Miss HENCHLIFFE. Dr. Kemp Clark, Dr. Jenkins, Dr. Peters, Dr. Crenshaw, and there was some woman anesthetist that I don't know which--who it was. Mr. SPECTER. What did you observe to be the President's condition when you first saw him? Miss HENCHLIFFE. I saw him breathe a couple of times and that was all. Miss HENCHLIFFE. Yes; he was very bloody, his head was very bloody when I saw him at the time. Miss HENCHLIFFE. When I first saw him---except his head. Miss HENCHLIFFE. Yes; in the neck. Miss HENCHLIFFE. It was just a little hole in the middle of his neck. Miss HENCHLIFFE. About as big around as the end of my little finger. Miss HENCHLIFFE. Yes. Miss HENCHLIFFE. An entrance bullet hole it looked to me like. Miss HENCHLIFFE. I have never seen an exit bullet hole I don't remember seeing one that looked like that. Miss HENCHLIFFE. It was just a little round---just a little round hole, just a little round jagged-looking---jagged a little bit. Mr. SPECTER. What experience have you had in observing bullet holes, Miss Henchliffe? Miss HENCHLIFFE. Well, we take care of a lot of bullet wounds down there--I don't know how many a year. Miss HENCHLIFFE. Oh, no; nothing except my experience in the emergency room. Miss HENCHLIFFE. In the emergency room is all. Mr. SPECTER. What was done to the President after he arrived at the emergency room? Miss HENCHLIFFE. Well the first thing, his endotracheal tube was inserted. Miss HENCHLIFFE. Except when I left out to get blood. Miss HENCHLIFFE. Oh, about 3 minutes or so--3 or 4 minutes. Miss HENCHLIFFE. Yes, sir. Mr. SPECTER. What was done with the President's body after he was pronounced to be dead? Miss HENCHLIFFE. Well, after the last rites were said, we then undressed him and cleaned him up and wrapped him up in sheets until the coffin was brought. Miss HENCHLIFFE. He was placed in the coffin. Miss HENCHLIFFE. An emergency room cart. Miss HENCHLIFFE. A stretcher---yes. Mr. SPECTER. Would you describe what this stretcher looked like?
