So Markham is a dingbat/oddball/whatever according to you lot, yet has perfect memory when it comes to remembering precise times.Pssst Crapman.... Mrs Markham didn't need to be a genius to know what time that she was required to be at the restaurant and ready to go to work. So she knew what time the bus arrived ( 1:12) to get her to the restaurant on time. Markham wanted to be at that bus stop a few minutes before it's scheduled arrival time (1:12) Thus she was on her way to the bus stop at 1:06 when she saw officer JD Tippit shot by a young man who was wearing a tan jacket with a WHITE shirt beneath the jacket and black slacks. But prior to the murder she had watched Tippit tailing the young man who was walking east on the south side of 10th street. At the very time that she was watching Tippit stop and call the young man over to his cruiser Mrs Roberts was observing Lee Oswald standing at a bus stop in front of the rooming house at 1026 N Beckley....Which was a mile away from 10th and Patton.....

That's right, John.The witnesses attending the lineups were NOT asked which man of the four most resembled the man they saw at the scene. No.The witnesses were asked if the man they saw at the scene was any of the four men placed before them.
Mrs. MARKHAM. Well, let me tell you. I said the second man, and they kept asking me which one, which one. I said, number two. When I said number two, I just got weak. Asking her ?which one which one? is equivalent to asking her to pick the one who most resembled the man she saw.
Even if he left the roominghouse at 1pm and covered the distance in 11 minutes he would still arrive after Bowley did. And Bowley did have a watch!
But one thing they both saw was Oswald at-the-trot.
...and we all know that watches in 1963 were always accurate. Right?Gimme a break.
Isn?t it amazing that they were all equally slow when they?re needed to be.
