He was among the team of doctors that tried to resuscitate President Kennedy in Trauma Room One. Less than forty-eight hours later, Jones was part of the surgical team that treated Lee Harvey Oswald. Dr. Jones owned two identical white lab coats at the time of the assassination, donating both to the Museum.
