louse-panel testimony
4 shots fired at JFK?
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Elaborate
of recordings made in Dallas
lay President John F. Kennedy
i| slain lead to the “possible con-
3 * i! P on that four shots were fired at
e motorcade, a sound expert told
Cliil
1 Igress today.
That tentative finding runs
ounter to the Warren Commission
■\0riieport on the Nov. 22, 1963, assas-
nation. The commission said in
frl the consensus of eyewitnesses
the shooting was that three shots
fe fired hy Lee Harvey Oswald.
... lonspiracy theorists have
city ■.ged that four shots at the
Uorcade would have been too
many for one man to take in the al-
loted time frame with the suspected
murder weapon, a bolt action re
peating rifle.
The explanation about the four
shots came from acoustics expert
Dr. James E. Barger before the
House Assassinations Committee
hearing on the Kennedy murder.
Graphs and tapes were used in
the presentation of evidence and the
accounts of 178 eyewitnesses were
evaluated. The study, conducted by
the firm of Bolt, Beranek and New
man of Cambridge, Mass., repor
tedly cost more than $60,000.
At the end of an elaborate and ex
tremely complicated analysis of the
recording taken from an open police
microphone, and compared with
sound tests taken last month at
Dealey Plaza, Barger was asked by a
staff member:
“Is it accurate to say there is evi
dence of four shots?”
“Yes,” the expert calmly replied,
“it is a possible conclusion. ”
Earlier, committee chairman
Rep. Louis Stokes, D-Ohio, had
warned that the results of acoustical
and other tests presented today
“will be troubling to some.” But he
cautioned against too quickly draw
ing “sensational conclusions from
this evidence.”
