So why does Horne conclude that H&B illicitly removed (and altered) the brain
shortly after 6:35 PM,
before any X-rays were taken, and before the official autopsy
began? He here introduces two intriguing witnesses?the two R?s, namely Reed and
Robinson.
Edward Reed was assistant to Jerrol Custer (the radiology tech), while Tom
Robinson was a mortician. Rather consistently with one another, but quite independently,
both describe critical steps taken by H&B that no one else reports. (Horne documents
why no one else reported these events?almost everyone else had been evicted from the
morgue before this clandestine interlude.) After the body was placed on the morgue table
(and before X-rays were taken), [b]Reed briefly sat in the gallery.18 Reed states19 that
Humes first used a scalpel across the top of the forehead to pull the scalp back. Then he
used a saw
to cut the forehead bone, after which he (and Custer, too) were asked to leave the morgue.[b] (Reed was not aware that this intervention by Humes was unofficial.)
This
activity by Humes is highly significant because multiple witnesses saw the intact entry
hole high in the right forehead at the hairline. On the other hand, the autopsy photographs
show only a thin incision at this site, an incision that no Parkland witness ever saw. The
implication is obvious: this specific autopsy photograph was taken
after Humes altered
the forehead?thereby likely obliterating the entry hole.
