Summary  
The document contains testimony from witnesses involved in the investigation of Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination, detailing evidence collected at the Ambassador Hotel on June 5th, 1968. A witness described an Iver Johnson revolver with identification markings on the barrel, noting its use at a shooting range with 300-400 empty casings and references to "mini-magnesium" bullets, which split upon impact for improved accuracy compared to standard .22 caliber rounds. Grand Jury Exhibit 7 was identified as the weapon used in the assassination. Dr. V. Faustin Bazilauskas provided medical testimony about treating RFK and other casualties at Central Receiving Hospital, including a boy with a shin wound, Mrs. Evans (later identified as Elizabeth Evans) with a scalp injury, Paul Schrade, William Weisel, and Ira Goldstein (with a hip or thigh wound). Medical records, photographs of victims, and discussions about the shooting’s aftermath were referenced. Ambulance drivers Robert Hulsman and Max Behrmann transported RFK to Central Receiving Hospital after finding him unconscious near the Embassy Room. Paul Schrade was also taken to the hospital, while William Weisel was later transferred to Kaiser Hollywood Hospital. A search of a '56 Chrysler Sedan near the Ambassador Hotel uncovered evidence including a wallet with Sirhan Sirhan’s name, business cards for Lock and Barrel, keys, expended .22 caliber slugs, and a Super X rifle shell, documented in Grand Jury Exhibits 6-A through 6-D. A key marked "Chrysler products" with serial number 13308 was recovered from Officers White and Placencia and handed to Lieutenant Albin S. Hegge on June 5th, 1968.
