Motorcycle policemen Bobby Hargis and B. J. Martin, at the
left rear of the Presidential limousine, were splattered with
brain matter and bloody water.
Bobby Hargis (motorcycle policeman on the left rear fender of the Presidential
limousine), November 23, 1963: “As the President straightened back
up, Mrs. Kennedy turned toward him, and that was when he got hit in
the side of the head, spinning it around. I was splattered with blood.
Then I felt something hit me. It could have been concrete or something,
but I thought at first I might have been hit.” [Daily News report]
B. J. Martin, April 3, 1964:
(Mr. Ball: “You had a white helmet on?”)
Mr. Martin: “Yes.” (Mr. Ball: “Did you notice any stains on your helmet?”)
Mr. Martin: “Yes, sir; during the process of working traffic there, I noticed
that there were blood stains on the windshield on my motor and then I
pulled off my helmet and I noticed there were blood stains on the left side
of my helmet.” (Mr. Ball: “To give a more accurate description of the left
side, could you tell us about where it started with reference to the forehead?”)
Mr. Martin: “It was just to the left—of what would be the center
of my forehead—approximately halfway, about a quarter of the helmet
had spots of blood on it.” (Mr. Ball: “And were there any other spots of
any other material on the helmet there besides blood?”) Mr. Martin: “Yes,
sir; there was other matter that looked like pieces of flesh.” (Mr. Ball:
“What about your uniform?”) Mr. Martin: “There was blood and matter on
my left shoulder of my uniform.” (Mr. Ball: “You pointed to a place in
front of your shoulder, about the clavicle region?”) Mr. Martin: “Yes, sir.”
(Mr. Ball: “Is that about where it was?”) Mr. Martin: “Yes.” (Mr. Ball: “On
the front of your uniform and not on the side?”) Mr. Martin: “No,sir.”
(Mr. Ball: “That would be left, would it?”) Mr. Martin: “Yes; on the left
side.” (Mr. Ball: “And just below the level of the shoulder?”) Mr. Martin:
“Yes, sir.” (Mr. Ball: “And what spots were there?”) Mr. Martin: “They
What Happened on Elm Street? 62 The Eyewitnesses Speak
were blood spots and other matter.” (Mr. Ball: “And what did you notice
on your windshield?”) Mr. Martin: “There was blood and other matter on
my windshield and also on the motor.” (Mr. Ball: “Was the blood noticeable—
were there large splotches?”) Mr. Martin: “No; they weren’t large
splotches, they were small—it was not very noticeable unless you looked
at it.” (Mr. Ball: “Was the discoloration on your helmet noticeable?”)
Mr. Martin: “Not too much—no—as a matter of fact, there were other
people around there and two more officers there and they never noticed
it.” (Mr. Ball: “At that time were you with Mr. Hargis?”) Mr. Martin: “No,
sir; I don’t believe that he went to the went to the hospital with us. I believe
he stopped there at the scene of the shooting.” (Mr. Ball: “And did
you ever see his helmet or his uniform or the windshield of his motorcycle?”)
Mr. Martin: “No, sir—I never recall seeing him again until the next
day.” (Mr. Ball: “Now, was this blood on the outside or the inside of your
windshield?”) Mr. Martin: “It was on the outside of my windshield.”
(Mr. Ball: “Was it on the right or left side.”) Mr. Martin: “It was on the
outside of my windshield.” (Mr. Ball: “And what about the fender of the
motorcycle?”) Mr. Martin: “It was just in the front—right on the front just
above the cowling on the motorcycle.” [Warren Commission testimony:
