Warren Commission (06 of 26): Hearings Vol. VI (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Miss STANDRIDGE. F-u-e-i-s-h-i-e-r (spelling), and Dr. Duke, and there
was a couple of other doctors--I don't remember who they were, but they
were up at the head, Dr. Fueishier and Dr. Duke, and Dr. Shaw came in
before they got the Governor's clothes off.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you notice any object in Governor Connally's clothing?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Not unusual.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you notice a bullet, specifically?
Miss STANDRIDGE. No.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you hear the sound of anything fall?
Miss STANDRIDGE. I didn't.
Mr. SPECTER. Were there other noises going on in the room at that time?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Yes, there were.
Mr. SPECTER. Was Governor Connally completely undressed in the
emergency room?
Miss STANDRIDGE. I believe so, to the best of my knowledge he was, I
think everything was taken off.
Mr. SPECTER. And what was done with Governor Connally following the
completion of his being undressed?
Miss STANDRIDGE. He was immediately carried to the elevator--emergency
elevator.
Mr. SPECTER. And in what way was he carried to the emergency elevator?
Miss STANDRIDGE. On the emergency cart that he came into emergency room
on.
Mr. SPECTER. Is that also describable as a stretcher?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. You say "Yes"?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you assist in pushing him into the elevator?
Miss STANDRIDGE. I started and then there was enough doctors pushing
him and I went back to get his clothing and by the time I came back up
again--I went just as quickly as I could walk back to trauma room 2
and got the clothing, I ran back up to catch him, and the elevator was
closing with him on it.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you actually see Governor Connally being wheeled into
the elevator?
Miss STANDRIDGE. No, the door was closing as I got back around. I
started with him down the hall and then before I got back, they had put
him into the elevator.
Mr. SPECTER. Who assisted in pushing him out of the emergency room and
down the hall--is it a little ways?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Well, it's through the OB and GYN section.
Mr. SPECTER. Is that "Obstetrics and Gynecology" section?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Yes; you go through that section to get to this
elevator from the major surgery section.
Mr. SPECTER. How far did you help push him from the major surgery
section?
Miss STANDRIDGE. About from the door that went into OBGN.
Mr. SPECTER. About how far is that?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Oh, about 20 feet, I guess, and they had about another
20 feet to go before they turned to the left to get to the elevator,
which is about 6 or 8 feet.
Mr. SPECTER. So, you left him and went back to the emergency room to
get his clothes, and when you came back, did you see any part of the
stretcher?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Well, I could just see--I could see the
stretcher--yes; and the doors and everybody in the elevator and the
door was closed in.
Mr. SPECTER. Could you see Governor Connally on the stretcher?
