INQUIRY
VOLUME IV, NUMBER 11 JUNE 22, 1980
THE INVISIBLE MAN _._by Mr. & Mrs. Raymond E. Ritchie
Randolph, Maine
Until the release of the U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations
(HSCA) volumes dealing with the assassination of President John F.
Kennedy it was accepted as fact by critics of the Warren Report that the
"magic bullet" (CE399) was found by Darrell C. Tomlinson on a stretcher^
located in a corridor of the Parkland Memorial" Hospital, Dallas. •'• The
basis of this "fact" was the testimony of Tomlinson and various memoranda.
With the publication of HSCA-JFK Volume VII, the public was informed,
for the first time, that Tomlinson was not alone when he discovered CE399.
As the Committee phrased it:
At approximately 1:55 p.m. on November 22, a virtually
intact bullet was found on a stretcher in the emergency
I are of Parkland Memorial Hospital by Nathan Burgess Pool,
an employee of Otis Elevator Co., and D.C. Tomlinson,
power plant engineer of Parkland Hospital."'
The only authority for this revelation is a "HSCA deposition of Nathan
B. Pool, July 12, 1978 (JFK Document 010022)."^
Mr. Pool's failure to appear anywhere in the Tomlinson's Warren
Commission testimony conceivably could be explained by Tomlinson's
desire not to share the limelight. However, that seems hard to square
with his forthright answers to Arlen Specter's confused questioning.
Tomlinson reveals in his testimony that he had previously been interviewed
by both Secret Service and FBI agents. It would be instructive to com- ,
pare these reports with his later testimony to see if Mr. Pool appeared.
However, as pointed out by Raymond Marcus, the memos are not included
in any of the Warren Commission volumes.°
