Geneva Hine

[John Iacoletti]

Oh yes there is. She directly associates the "lights going out" with "the phones going dead" because "no one was calling." And the same sentence implies that the lights going out was expected. You lost the ability to read, kid?

The "association" is all in your mind.  "The lights went out AND the phones became dead".  Two different clauses.

By the way, there were a number of others within the Depository at the time of the assassination: Williams, Jarman, Norman, Eddie Piper, the Scott-Foresman girls on the fourth floor, etc. How many of them reported experiencing the building power being cut or lights in the building going out?

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

That's exactly what Hine said: "the phones became dead because the motorcade was coming near us and no one was calling." And when the calls trailed off and disconnected, the line busy indicator on the phones would go out.

How do you even know there was a "line busy indicator" on Hine's phone?

Did any other eyewitnesses say the lights went out?

Because I remember what multi-line phones were like back in the day.



She noted that at some point after the motorcade roared away "the telephones were beginning to wink." You think they had eyes and were getting fresh or something?

So you saw Geneva Hine's phone "back in the day"?

Did any other eyewitnesses say the lights went out?

Did any other witness claim that Oswald was in the 6th floor window aiming a rifle?

Like I said, I remember what multi-line phones were like then. In 1963, the phone you used was still the one that Ma Bell gave you. The multi-line ones every business had were like the one in the photo, unless you were a really big company that had it's own private branch.

BTW, I'll ask again, since you not only declined the first time but deleted the question:

Hine noted that at some point after the motorcade roared away "the telephones were beginning to wink." You think they had eyes and were getting fresh or something?
