CONNALLY TAKES BULLET FRAGMENTS INTO GRAVE

Before former Texas Gov. John Connally was buried Thursday, his family rejected a request from the FBI that bullet fragments be removed from his body in an effort to learn more about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, according to a government official.

Longtime critics of the Warren Commission's finding that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in assassinating Kennedy say the fragments lodged in Connally's body could prove that more than one assailant fired on the limousine carrying Kennedy and Connally. - Hearst Newspapers
