Why would photographs that had been taken to aid Dr. James Humes in the autopsy NEVER be shown to him?
We know both color and black & white photographs were taken that showed “significant findings” due to it saying so in the Pathological Examination Report, a.k.a. CE 387, page 382. Here is what it says about the photographs.

Photography: Black and white and color photographs depicting significant findings are exposed but NOT developed. These photographs were placed in the custody of Agent Roy H. Kellerman of the U.S. Secret Service, who executed a receipt therefore (attached). (Emphasis mine)

We know from Humes’ WC testimony that the photographs were NOT shown to him.
Mr. SPECTER - Were the photographs made available then, Dr. Humes, when Exhibit 388 was prepared?
Commander HUMES - No, sir.
This again, is CE 388.

We see then the most important wound was drawn with Humes (and the others) having NOT seen the photographs of the head area! Why? He would tell us why in his WC testimony.
Representative FORD. May I ask what size are the pictures to which you refer?
Commander HUMES - We exposed both black and white and color negatives, Congressman. They were exposed in the morgue during the examination. They were not developed. The kodachrome negatives when developed would be 405. They were in film carriers or cassettes, as were the black and white. Of course, they could be magnified.
Representative FORD. Have those been examined by personnel at Bethesda?
Commander HUMES - No, sir. We exposed these negatives; we turned them over. Here I must ask the counsel again for advice to the Secret Service.
Mr. SPECTER - Yes; it was the Secret Service.
Commander HUMES - They were turned over to the Secret Service in their cassettes unexposed, and I have not seen any of them since. This is the photographs. The X-rays were developed in our X-my department on the spot that evening, because we had to see those right then as part of our examination, but the photographs were made for the record and for other purposes.
Representative FORD. But they had never been actually developed for viewing.
Commander HUMES - I do not know, sir.
So let me get this straight, they took photographs of JFK’s body to assist Humes, and the other prosectors, and then they NEVER HAD THEM DEVELOPED AND NEVER SHOWED THEM TO THE PROSECTORS? Why?
