Conspiracy of the Three Stooges

[Colin Crow]

A month after the last interviews with Williams and Jarman the following "story" appeared in the Fort-Worth Star Telegram

Much of what was reported clearly points to Williams as the "witness" who could identify Oswald as the assassin.

It seems that almost immediately the FBI and SS responded to a TV report at 8.30pm on Feb 9th of the news story above that appeared the next day in print.......

[Colin Crow]

March 14th.....the Ruby Trial Concludes.


Next in the chronology is March 18th 1964. On that day Williams is sent an air mail special delivery letter to appear before the Warren Commission on March 24th.

Willens, Ball and Belin fly to Dallas to lay the groundwork for the field investigation.

Also an internal WC memo was sent from Joseph Ball and David Belin to Howard Willens. Ball and Belin were tasked with determining the "Identity of the Assassin" for the WC.

The memo is also dated March 18th 1964 and amongst a series of queries, statements and questions to Willens, the following appears on pages 3 and 4;

"Chicken Bone Story

Bonnie Ray Williams stated that he ate his lunch near the windows on the south side of the sixth floor.

His lunch consisted of a chicken sandwich and a bottle of Dr. Pepper.

The report is that chicken bones were found near a window on the sixth floor.

Have Williams describe the contents of his lunch.

The place where he ate his lunch.

Did he bring his lunch in a sack?

Did he see anyone on the sixth floor while he was eating his lunch.

What time did he go down to the fifth floor?

Note: Was the sack ever found? If the sack was found, were there fingerprints on the sack?

See Ball-Belin memo pp 23-24."

Also in that memo is the following question with the obvious error.

Was Oswald on the sixth floor when Billy Lovelady (sic) returned to eat his lunch."

I assume that the last reference is to a previous memo to Willens. If anyone has that memo please send a link.

Merely presenting events in the order that they happened Walt. The story did appear. How is it apparent to you that I believe it from what I posted?

Colin, I've heard and read dozens of these absurd tales over the years.....  If they are as obviously nonsense as this tale is, I don't give them a second thought, I and I sure as hell wouldn't add them to the pile of crap that many irrational readers will pick up and accept and refuse to cast aside as BS......Like the Mauser tale that many continue to believe.

IOW Why repeat the BS..... Unless your goal is to add to the mountain of confusion, of which there is already waaaaay to much

My goal should be apparent from the OP. The story appeared 3 months after the shooting and six weeks before the three appeared before the WC. Others have queried already in this thread why wasn't some pressure exerted on Williams to say he saw Oswald. From the available evidence JohnM thinks that Williams saw him. I have suggested that the three planned to deceive the investigation because Williams was in the SN about 5 minutes before the shots. This is self evident in the consistency of Norman and Jarman and the changes to Williams' account over time prior to their appearance before the WC in late March '64.

Ball and Belin clearly see issues from the various statements and laid out questions listed above.

Specifically......

The place where he ate his lunch.

Did he see anyone on the sixth floor while he was eating his lunch.

What time did he go down to the fifth floor?


I would also have asked...

Why he vacated the 6th floor.


and

Why his story changed.
