Limo cleaning and skull fragments

[Walt Cakebread]

The affidavit of Johnny Brewer makes no mention of Oswald having a gun, let alone trying to shoot an officer with one. Strange detail to leave out of an affidavit?

Johnny Brewer's affidavit:  https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth339626/m1/1/

Notice that Brewer's affidavit is dated December 6 , 1963.....  Two weeks after the event....  That affidavit isn't worth spit.

However Brewer did make a couple of interesting statements in his affidavit....  He said that he followed the man up the street to the Texas Theater....This is in sharp contradiction to his testimony.....in which he said he saw the man go out of sight in the foyer of the theater and then he went back into his shoe store ....In reality Brewer could not have known if the man had actually entered the theater ......Another glaring cntradiction is he said that he had heard on the radio at 1:30 that a police officer had been shot.   He made that up....  Because there were no radio reports of the Tippit shooting as early as 1:30.

Brewer said that he saw a man (LHO) at the rear of the theater stand up when the lights in the theater came on and the man remained standing until  officer Nick Mc Donald approached ....   

Brewers last sentence says that he noticed the man looking in the window of his shoe shop was because he was nervous and therefore he thought the man might have been the man who shot the policeman.    This last sentence is pure BS....  Brewer never knew about Tippit being shot at the time the man was looking in his shop window.

I believe the later date for the affidavit makes it even more interesting that old Johnny doesn't mention seeing a gun of any kind.

As far as knowing about the Tippet shooting, I believe I remember him saying in an interview that he had his radio on and heard about a policeman being shot near his store.

There were no radio broadcasts of the Tippit shooting prior to 1:30.....  The news of the ambush of JFK was taking complete precedence .....

I'm just repeating what I heard from Mr. Brewer. Tippet was shot and killed at 1:06 according to their chief witness and verified by others.

Arresting police officer said so.

Which arresting police officer said so?

At least none that anybody has been able to find.

And I'm telling you that researchers have searched for any radio report of the Tippit shooting prior to 1:30...and Nobody has found any broadcast of Tippit's murder prior to 1:30.  And I could be wrong but as I recall Brewer said that he was listening to Radio station KLIF ..... And a search of the records revealed no broadcast about a policeman being shot in Oakcliff.    As a matter of fact, If I recall correctly, Johnny  Brewer is on record as saying that he didn't know that a policeman had been shot at the time that he saw the police car speeding past his store with the siren wailing.

In Nov of 1996 Ian Griggs interviewed Brewer and Griggs published the interview in his book "No Case To Answer"....  It's obvious that by 96 ( 33 years) that Brewer had plenty of time to embellish and fill in information that he should have presented in his affidavit in December of 63.

And In 96 he told Griggs that he saw Lee Oswald pull out a pistol and attempt to shoot McDonald.   ...As you Mr Kania have pointed out It damned strange that Brewer never mentioned this very startling and riveting action in his affidavit.    IMO Brewer was lying to Griggs.....He never saw Lee pull a gun on Mc Donald....As a matter of fact I believe the official tale has Lee reaching for his waist band and McDonald grabbing him..... I believe a movie goer said that the pistol first appeared in the hand of someone who was wearing a short sleeve shirt.
