United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. SPECTER. What is on first floor?
Miss STANDRIDGE. No patients--only classrooms and administrative
offices--business offices.
Mr. SPECTER. What is on third floor?
Miss STANDRIDGE. The delivery room--it opens up into the delivery room
and then the post mortem wards.
Mr. SPECTER. Do you have anything you would like to add which you think
might be helpful to us in any way?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Well, not that I can think of other than that I have
already stated.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you see President Kennedy's stretcher at any time?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Yes; I was in the room--I took the mop in. The
orderlies mopped the floor and we cleaned the wall, the blood off of
the walls and so forth, to get it presentable before Mrs. Kennedy came
back in.
Mr. SPECTER. And was President Kennedy in the room at that time?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you see him there?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. And you identified him from what you knew he looked like?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. And how was he clothed at that time?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Well, as far as from his waist up--was all that was
uncovered and they were trying to protect his head with a sheet--it was
wrapped around his head.
Mr. SPECTER. What clothing did he have on from the waist down?
Miss STANDRIDGE. It was just a sheet cover--I don't know of anything
under the cover, whether there was or not. I assumed he was all
unclothed, which we do routinely.
Mr. SPECTER. He was all unclothed?
Miss STANDRIDGE. I said I assumed he was--I don't know.
Mr. SPECTER. What did he have from the waist up?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Nothing.
Mr. SPECTER. What was he on at that time?
Miss STANDRIDGE. A stretcher cart.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you see what happened to that stretcher afterward?
Miss STANDRIDGE. I didn't notice. They moved it from the room.
Mr. SPECTER. Do you know what happened to the sheets that were on the
President's stretcher?
Miss STANDRIDGE. No; I don't.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you and I meet previously before I started to take
the deposition here today and talk about the procedures for the
investigation by the Warren Commission?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. And have you and I been discussing here, with me asking
questions and you making answers all the things which we talked about
before the court reporter came in?
Miss STANDRIDGE. I believe so.
Mr. SPECTER. Have you ever talked to any other representative of the
Federal Government?
Miss STANDRIDGE. The Secret Service--yes, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. And did you talk with them once or more than once?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Well, I talked with them one time in Mr. Wright's
office and another time just briefly--he came to see the layout of the
emergency room.
Mr. SPECTER. Whose office--Mr. Wright?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Personnel manager here.
Mr. SPECTER. What did the Secret Service men ask you about on those
occasions?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Well, just the same thing we have gone over today.
