Henry Wade. - Stephen Fagin, Curator","Fred Bieberdorf was a senior medical student at Southwestern Medical School when, as a part-time first aid attendant at the Dallas city jail, he became the first person with any medical background to examine Lee Harvey Oswald after he was shot by Jack Ruby. A few minutes later, when a station wagon ambulance arrived, Bieberdorf climbed in the back with Oswald and detective Jim Leavelle and rode to Parkland Memorial Hospital. However, as he recalled in his 2007 oral history with the Museum, he immediately got a ride back to Dallas police headquarters as soon as Oswald was taken into Parkland's Emergency entrance. Upon his return, Bieberdorf was given the task of conducting an examination of Jack Ruby. Bieberdorf explained, \"They thought Ruby might be suicidal, so they had me talk to him for a while.... And they also requested that I do a rectal examination on him to make sure he had not secreted some means of committing suicide, some Strychnine or something in his rectum.... He seemed perfectly calm and relaxed at that time. I didn't ask him why he did this or any such thing as that. And he didn't volunteer anything, other than he didn't like the rectal exam I gave him.\" - Stephen Fagin, Curator","The late WNEW Radio reporter Ike Pappas was among the closest bystanders to the Oswald shooting in the basement of Dallas police headquarters. In his 1993 oral history with the Museum, he provided one of the most vivid eyewitness accounts of that historic moment: \r\n\"I say, 'Do you have anything to say in your defense?' And just as I said 'defense,' boom!  [Jack Ruby] jumps out, shoots him right in front of me, you know. I heard footsteps and then, boom, and then I saw this flash on his black sweater and Oswald moaned, and he went down. All I saw was a black streak in front of me, too. I didn't know who that was. That was just some guy who jumped right out and shot him. And I felt the impact of the bullet as it creased the air. I felt this explosion of the weapon. I was that close. And I went like that [jumping back], and all these things are going on in my head very, very, very rapidly. And I said to myself, 'Did I get shot? Am I shot?' You know, and I looked down... I had read where sometimes you could get shot and not even know it, you know.\" - Stephen Fagin, Curator"]},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"66160"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"11 3/8 × 8 5/8 × 1 1/8 in.
