FIRST REPORTS OUT OF DALLAS
THE FORT WORTH STAR TELEGRAM,11/23/63

In a statement, Shaw (Dr. Robert W.) added: "Connally is fully 
conscious and responding to questions.  The bullet is STILL in his 
leg.  It hasn't been removed.  This is very insignificant.  There is no 
injury to the left thigh."

Witnesses heard three shots.  Two hit the President, one in the head 
and one in the neck.  The third shot wounded Governor Connally in 
the side.

Six shells which fitted the RIFLE were found in Oswald's pocket, 
police said.  But authorities were having a hard time connecting the 
weapon with Oswald or obtaining any fingerprints from it.

Police also found a pistol holster in Oswald's room, apparently the 
one which held the .38 caliber pistol which he allegedly used in 
slaying a Dallas police officer.

...Fritz said six witnesses, all men, had placed the suspect near the 
textbook distributing company at 12:30 p.m., the time of the 
assassination.

"I saw a policeman rush in the front door," Truly (R.S.) said.  "I 
followed him and went directly to the top floor (the seventh floor) 
and onto the roof."
