he had been killed.
	46. Matthiessen, op. cit., p. 199. Bruce Ellison is in possession of a full-face picture of Killsright's
body taken by an FBI photographer some time after McKiernan's photos were taken; the FBI photo 
reveals the forehead shot which appears absent in the McKiernan pictures. In the FBI photo, Killsright's
head wound is remarkably clean, indicating it had either been cleaned of gore for the occasion, or that
it had been administered after the victim had died and blood drained from the body. No official
medical examination of the range at which the head shot was fired has ever been forthcoming, insofar as
no autopsy was performed; Killsright's body was handled by W.O. Brown,[handwritten underline]  the FBI retained Nebraska
pathologist who performed suspect autopsies[handwritten underline] on Pedro Bissonene and Anna Mae Aquash[handwritten underline] (see Chapter 7)
	47. Ibid., p. 187, According to the radio log of the Rapid City FBI office for June 16, 1975 (pp. 23-
24) "MP-1 [SAC Joseph Trimbach]" and his SWAT team were enroute from Minneapolis almost as soon
as the firing began. A memo, captioned deleted, from B.H. Cooke to Mr. Gebhart at FBIHQ on the follow-
ing day indicates proudly that the Minneapolis SWAT team was on-site at Oglala, under command of SA
David Price "by 4:25 p.m. on the 26th. Page 24 of the log indicates that high explosive rounds for M-79
grenade launchers were also being flown in from the Marine base at Quantico, VA. to Ellsworth Air Force
Base by Marine jet during the same afternoon. The speed with which these long-distance maneuvers
were executed strongly suggests that the FBI anticipated the firefight, as well as it's timing and location.

Ridge on June 27, 1975, he stopped to urinate alongside the road, about five miles south of Porcupine.
Over the ridge came an APC, accompanied by some 20 FBI and BIA police personnel, moving "on line"
carrying M-16s, and dressed in Vietnam-style jungle fatiques, boots and bush hats. Most of the group 
were also wearing military-issue flak-jackets. Needless to say, the whole scene afforded a sense of deja
vu to the viewer, given that he had spent a year.[handwritten underline] in Southeast Asia in combat.[handwritten underline]

to Mr. O'Connell at FBIHQ mentions that Richard G. Held, SAC Chicago, was contacted in Minneapolis
at "12:30 a. m." on the morning of June 26, 1975.  This clearly suggests that Held, who was slated to as-
sume overall command of the FBI's Pine Ridge operations in the wake of the firefight, had been pre-
positioned for this purpose. This again supports the thesis that provocation of a major incident on the....
