The Testimony of J.C. White ...Patrolman

[Charles Collins]

Yes -- but we know that he was on the south side.

We do? How do we “know” this?

[Marjan Rynkiewicz]

The McIntire photos can't speak to where Officer White was at an earlier time. It's also uncertain that White is visible in the photos.

I reckon that that is White's white cap -- or his face.

We do? How do we “know” this?

If he was on the north side of Main then he must have been hiding behind the pillar or on his knees peering tween the posts when McIntire took his pix.
And the usurper on the south side of Main must have been invisible to White.
But i feel sure that there is wordage saying so, somewhere.

White even marked his position on exhibit A.

And I believe that Holland said that White was right behind him the last time he looked, just before the motorcade arrived in Dealey Plaza.

 Perhaps an aerial view looking east might help--

Mr. BALL. First time you saw the President's car it was going underneath?
Mr. WHITE. Yes, 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. 

How could White have seen the president's car 'going underneath' if ---1. He was on the west side of the underpass and 2. If there was a train going by?
The train array must be 50 or 60 ft across and the limo was absolutely gassing it by the time it reached the west side ..so we are talking about 5-10 seconds not 5-10 minutes for a train to pass by.

Foster was behind Holland -- standing on a railways cabinet.



The cabinet was similar to this cabinet -- but closer to the camera here -- ie out of frame.

The tracks have been reconfigured but the width of the bridge has remained constant.

The vehicles around should give an idea of the area.

Mr. HOLLAND - Well, as well as I remember, one police officer was standing right behind me, or pretty close behind me.
Mr. STERN - Put a "2" where you believe he was standing.
Mr. HOLLAND - He was standing in close enough so that he could see, but he could also see the people, and the other policeman, I think, unless he left immediately before this happened--see, when they turned there, I didn't turn around and look back any more, but the last time I saw this policeman he was standing over here on this side, about [indicating].
Mr. STERN - Standing almost directly behind you?
Mr. HOLLAND - Yes.
Mr. STERN - But, on the other side of the overpass, facing west?
Mr. HOLLAND - Yes; all this way, across the tracks. See, these are all railroad tracks, and he was standing over here on this side immediately before this motorcade turned this. Now, after they turned, I don't know, but--because I was watching them.
Mr. STERN - Yes. Would you put a "3" where you believe he was standing and can you indicate on there where you believe the other 12 to 15 or 16 people were who were on the Overpass at this time.
