DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. — Fingerprint experts and
other specialists examining the bodies of 912 victims of a mass suicide
and murder in Guyana said Monday it may take three weeks to
identify all the dead.
So far only 29 of the bodies, including that of the Rev. Jim Jones,
People’s Temple leader, have been identified.
A team of morticians and fingerprint experts worked to process the
bodies as hundreds of relatives called the base trying to find if their
family members are among the dead.
A C-141 cargo plane arrived Sunday from Georgetown, Guyana
with the last 183 bodies which were unloaded from the belly of the
plane and stacked inside the freezing warehouse.
Army Maj. Brigham Shuler said that with the arrival of the last
shipment of bodies from Guyana, “the major thrust of one of the most
obvious parts of this mission is over. ”
The identification process is being conducted mainly through
fingerprinting, Shuler said. So far, 532 bodies have been finger
printed as the mortuary team rushed to get prints before the bodies
decomposed too badly.
The irritable, overworked sol-
sb were dismayed by the time the
oumalists arrived Friday. They
learned only hours earlier that
grisly task would take twice as
as expected because they had
d more than double the 400
es initially reported by

DALLAS — The manager of the
Texas School Book Depository has
disputed a photo expert’s conten
tions that a recently discovered film
shows at least two persons — min
utes before the assassination of John
F. Kennedy — at the window from
which the fatal shots are generally
believe fired.
Roy S. Truly said any stranger
filmed in the sixth floor window
“would have no way of getting out of
the building unless he flew off the
roof. ”
Truly, discounting the findings of
Robert J. Groden, a staff consultant
on photographic evidence for the
House Assassination Committee,
hypothesized the film shot by
amateur photographer Charles L.
Bronson showed “reflections or
shadows moving or something like
that.”
Truly said he and a Dallas
policeman who rushed up the stairs
of the building to the seventh floor
would have seen any strangers at
tempting to leave.
Jesse Curry, Dallas’ chief of
police at the time of the assassina
tion, declined comment Sunday.
But Curry, in an interview with the
British Broadcasting Company last
December, said he had doubts
about the Warren Commission’s
single-gunman theory and that he
believed a conspiracy was still a pos
sibility.
Neither the mother nor brother of
Lee Harvey Oswald was excited
about the recent disclosure.
“I am so sick and tired of all this, ”
Marguerite Oswald said in Fort
Worth. “There’s supposed to be
images back in the bushes and this
and that. And nothing has mate
rialized.”
Oswald’s brother, Robert, of
Wichita Falls, declined comment.
Hundreds of persons visited the
assassination site in downtown Dal
las Sunday, many discussing the
film that was uncovered nearly 15
years after Kennedy’s death.
