Mr. BALL. Where were you with reference to Elm. Main or Commerce as they go underneath the overpass?

Mr. BALL. Did you see the President's car come into sight?
Mr. WHITE. No, sir; first time I saw it it has passed, passed under the triple underpass.
Mr. BALL. You were too far away to see it, were you?
Mr. WHITE. There was a freight train traveling. There was a train passing between the location I was standing and the area from which the procession was traveling, and-a big long freight train, and I did not see it.
Mr. BALL. You didn't see the procession?
Mr. WHITE. No, sir.

Mr. BALL. What did you do after that?
Mr. WHITE. As soon as the train passed I went over and on the northwest side of the Depository Building. On the northwest side of the book store up there with the rest of the officers and after about 30 minutes they told me to go out and work traffic at Main and Houston, and I stood out there and worked traffic.
Mr. BALL. All right, now, you heard no sound of no rifle fire or anything?
Mr. WHITE. No, sir.

The problem I have with Patrolman White's testimony [aside from his apparent lack of interest in viewing the motorcade]...
is that in viewing the photograph taken at the precise moment of his declared observation, I fail to see the cop at his stated location...
or this freight train that he mentions passing at that exact moment.
Odd that White never mentioned that he was given any information about the incident...just only told to go work traffic.

I never noticed that big "Old Charter" advert before in the background. "Old Charter" is a whiskey apparently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Charter

The guy doesn't exactly sound like Eliot Ness since he didn't even hear the shots.  I don't really see why any of this is important, though.  Is there some point you are trying to make or just a curiosity?

That small  white thing on the south side of Main is White's white cap -- he is not seen on the north side of Main in any photos or footage.

So how do you know that the item mentioned is White's cap and what would he be doing way over there?

Thats what i said. He aint at his stated location.
And there was no train at about 12:30.
The worst witness might have been Jacki, followed by Mrs Connally -- & followed by all of the cops.

Elementary Watson..You bring the point even more in focus.
Patrolman White [submitted] that [outside of his imaginary freight train]- like Sgt Schultz...
He saw nothing...He heard nothing...Witnessed nothing at all...Appears to not even be there!
He offered absolutely zilch to the case so why did they even bother to take his testimony?
