.J page 8 daily nebraskan friday, december 5, 1975 Cohen: more than one shot at RFK 4 i. r A New information obtained by former Los Angeles County prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi shows that more than one person fired shots in the hotel pantry where Robert F. Kennedy was killed, according to Jeff Cohen, spokesman for the Assassin ation Information Bureau. Cohen told an audience at the Nebraska Union Thursday that two Los Angeles policemen have admitted to Bugliosi that a photograph 'taken of them shortly after the shooting shows them pointing to two or more bullet holes in a door. Those bullet holes, Cohen said, show that more than eight bullets were fired as Kennedy left a celebration following his California primary election victory in 1968. Held eight bullets Cohen said the gun fired by Sirhan Sirhan, convicted of killing Kennedy, held only eight bullets. Los Angeles County Coroner Thomas Noguchi has said the fatal shot was fired from about two inches behind Kennedy. Cohen said eyewitnesses have testified that they saw Sirhan firing a gun, but got no closer than one and one-half feet from Kennedy. He said Allard Lowenstien, former New York congressman and presently an aide to California Governor Jerry Brown, is attempting to have spectrographic and molecular analysis done on all bullets re covered from the shooting scene to deter mine if they were identical. Ballistics tests performed thus far on the bullets have been inconclusive, Cohen said. Reopen investigation He said the Assassination Information Bureau supports attempts in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to re open investigations into the deaths of Kennedy, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr President John Kennedy and the attempted assassination of Alabama Gov. Georee Wallace. 5 Cohen said he is not sure that there has been a conscious coverup of events surrounding Robert Kennedy's death, but that the official version of President John F. Kennedy's assassination is false. He said the recent CBS news docu mentary on Kennedy's death pointed out some unanswered questions, but ignored others. "Fluffed" efidence The CBS documentary "fluffed over" evidence provided by Abraham Zapruder's film of the shooting and other photo graphic evidence, he said. That evidence, according to Cohen, shows that while the President and Texas' Gov. John Conally should both be react ing to wounds caused by a single bullet, if the Warren report is to be believed, Connally shows no reaction and Kennedy has obviously been hit much earlier. Cohen said the CBS report and the War ren report back the contention that a bullet could have passed through Kennedy, through Connally's torso, breaking two ribs, and shattering his wrist, and finally lodging in the thigh to be found at Parkland hospital with its copper jacket completely intact. Cohen said he believes the two were shot by as many as three gunmen, perhaps including Lee Harvey Oswald, and as a re sult of a conspiracy partially disclosed by former New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison. mmuHW''" 1 $ Regent advised 'do not comment, i i s Photo by Td Kirk Jeff Cohen, of the Assassination Information Bureau, Thursday pre sented new information on the Robert F.
