TIPPIT SHOOTING, 1:15
Mary Wright stated that she heard the shots and called the police immediately after the shooting. (With Malice, 2013, pg. 136)
Barbara Davis heard the shots and stated that, from the door, she saw a man walking across her front yard unloading a gun. She then heard Helen Markham across the street yelling that a police officer was shot and killed. Davis looked over and saw the police car. Immediately after seeing the police car, she went inside and phoned the operator and reported the shooting to the police. (affidavit, 11/22/63)
L.J. Lewis was at the Johnny Reynolds Motor Company, located one block south of the shooting. He called the police immediately after hearing the gunshots to report a shooting. (affidavit, 8/26/64)
Murray Jackson, the police radio dispatcher, received an alert at 1:16 from the "citizen using the police radio". Upon being told by the citizen that a police man had been shot and that it was near Marsalis, Beckley and Tenth Street, Jackson immediately calls out for "78". After getting no response, he again calls out for "78". Jackson is calling out for "78" because that is Tippit's call number and he knows Tippit was driving car number 10. On 11/22/63, Tippit was "78". That he calls out for Tippit after receiving the alert from the "citizen using the police radio" tells us that at 1:16, Jackson was made aware, for the very first time, that Tippit had been shot.
Since we know that Mary Wright, Barbara Davis and L.J. Lewis called the police almost immediately... and we know that Murray Jackson (the dispatcher) was unaware of the shooting until 1:16, it becomes painfully obvious that Wright, Davis and Lewis phoned in the shooting at a point in time just before the "citizen using the police radio" alerted Jackson. If these three witnesses had phoned in the shooting much earlier, then Jackson would have been already made aware of the shooting by his superiors and told to put an all-points bulletin. No all-points bulletin was put out by dispatch until AFTER dispatch (Jackson) was alerted at 1:16.

Murray Jackson doesn't call out for "78" if he's already aware that Tippit has been shot.

Mary Wright stated that she heard the shots and called the police immediately after the shooting. (With Malice, 2013, pg. 136)
Interestingly, Myers doesn’t bother to mention that at the same time, Mary’s husband Frank is watching a man standing right in front of the police car getting into a gray coupe and driving off.
Barbara Davis heard the shots and stated that, from the front door, she saw a man walking across her front yard unloading a gun. She then heard Helen Markham across the street yelling that a police officer was shot and killed. Davis looked over and saw the police car. Immediately after seeing the police car, she went inside and phoned the operator and reported the shooting to the police. (affidavit, 11/22/63)
Davis didn’t say immediately. For one thing, she put her shoes on first.
L.J. Lewis was at the Johnny Reynolds Motor Company, located one block south of the shooting. He called the police immediately after hearing the gunshots to report a shooting. (affidavit, 8/26/64)
But in an FBI report made 7 months earlier, Lewis says that he watched a man go down Patton and turn on Jefferson before going back into the office and calling the police.
Murray Jackson, the police radio dispatcher, received an alert at 1:16 from the "citizen using the police radio".
This timestamp all depends on the integrity of the extant dictabelt recordings, keeping in mind that the dictabelt was voice activated, not continuous, that there are at least three versions of the written transcripts of those recordings, that the recording could have been edited when transferred to tape, and that the accuracy of the dispatcher’s clock is merely assumed.
If these three witnesses had phoned in the shooting much earlier, then Jackson would have been already made aware of the shooting by his superiors and told to put an all-points bulletin.
How do you know how quickly Jackson would have been alerted?

CITIZEN: Got that?
CITIZEN: Hello, police operator. Did you get that?
DIS: Attention. Signal 19, police officer, 510 East Jefferson.
CITIZEN: Thank you.
Jackson called 78 before hearing car 10. Oak Cliff was not Tippit's assigned district that day. Jackson directed him and Officer RC Nelson to move into Oak Cliff at 12.45pm. Also car 56 (Parker) was at East Jefferson at this time.
At 12.34pm. 91 (Menzel) calls clear twice without acknowledgement from Jackson. Oak Cliff was Menzel's district. He supposedly went to lunch at this time on Jefferson not far from the Texas Theatre. Also Jackson tried to establish where Parker (56) was.
DIS: 56.
91: 91 clear.
DIS: 55.
10-4.
DIS: Anyone know where 56 is?
56: 56 clear for 5.
DIS: 56, your location.
56: East Jefferson.
12.45pm.
DIS: 87, 78, move into central Oak Cliff area.
78: I'm about Kiest and Bonnie View.
87: 87's going north on Marsalis at R. L. Thornton.
At 12.48pm
101: 87, I'm on south end Houston Street Viaduct.
DIS: 10-4.
Are the positions reported by Nelson, Menzel and Parker about the same distance to 1026 North Beckley as 10th and Patton?

And the original death certificate says time of death 1.15 p.m.

Notice that in this affidavit report that Helen Marsille ( Markham?) told the police that the gunman was wearing a brown jacket and dark pants. ..... But the Jacket that was allegedly found in the parking lot was "White"....

OK----I will give that beginning from the sidewalk of the house 1026 N. Beckeley at 1:00 PM [which is generous enough] and briskly walking ...using the shortest possible route... someone of average age and size could arrive at the northwest corner of 10th and Patton in 15 minutes.
However- this is the location where it was established that Mrs Markham stood at the time. J D Tippit's patrol car was parked across 10th and some 3 lots [120 ft] east of the intersection. The proposed murder allows no time for an encounter, a discussion at the side of the cruiser, an exit from the car and a subsequent shooting. It also allows no time for the alleged walker to have returned to the front of the rooming house from a reported bus stop some 120 ft north where Oswald was last seen by the housekeeper. So- again, this is like trying to squeeze 10 lbs of time into a 5 lb sack. It couldn't be done so it had to be faked.
In addition..as I have repeatedly pondered ---If this was supposed to be Oswald, where in hell was he going?

You've hit the nail on the head.....
I'd call your attention to officer Poe's affidavit.... Poe wrote;... "On Nov 22, 1963 at approximately 1:15 pm Officer J.W. Poe and L.H. Jez 1479 working squad 105 heard police officer involved in a shooting at 400 block of N. Tenth street"........
Notice the time....At approximately 1:15 .... Poe heard ( over the police radio ) that an officer had been involved in a shooting.....
This means that the shooting had to have happened several minutes prior to 1:15..... Helen Markham was adamant that the shooting occurred at 1:06, and TF Bowley, arrived on the scene at 1:10 and saw Tippit lying in the street near his squad car. Bowley used Tippit's radio to notify the police dispatcher of the shooting.
The Time that Bowley transmitted the information was approximately 1:15 ...Just as it says in Poe's affidavit.
JD Tippit was shot and killed at about 1:06pm.....Lee Oswald was seen standing in front of the rooming house at 1026 N. Beckley at 1:04pm..... The rooming house was a mile away from the scene of Tippit's murder.
-
It's obvious, by calling out for Tippit (78), that Murray Jackson had not previously been alerted by his superiors that Tippit had already been shot and killed. Therefore, Wright, Davis and Lewis didn't call the police to report the shooting much earlier than Jackson was made aware of it over the police radio by the citizen.

One can only guess where. My first guess, years ago, was to General Walker’s house to take care of unfinished business. But lately I’ve imagined that if he had not been so quickly apprehended, there just might have been an attempted hi jack to Cuba at Love Field.

As I posted earlier, would Jackson automatically assume Tippit, when Menzel, Parker and Nelson were all possibly around that location?

Walkers house? Love Field? Check your google map--this was 10-12 miles in the other direction.

The man who shot JD Tippit was NOT Lee Oswald..... So speculating about where he was going is just nonsense.
Commonsense dictates that he was going to the theater.....and he never was anywhere near 10th and Patton.
-

Yes, I know that. I don’t have supporting evidence, but I have read that there was a bus stop on a bus route which includes that section of the city that was in the direction LHO was heading when the encounter with Tippit occurred. It is all just conjecture anyway, so I haven’t taken the time to confirm the bus routes. Maybe someone that has that information handy will comment.
-

Totally agree Thumb1: Which leaves the speculation---What was Tippit and the man who shot him doing at that location?
Regarding the time of the shooting, in [With Malice] Dale Myers-another Warren defender-...completely ignores the reports of three people-- Helen Markham, Margie Higgins, and T F Bowley-- that they recall the shooting prior to 1:10.
See this chapter concerning Helen Markham.... http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/Weisberg%20Subject%20Index%20Files/T%20Disk/Tippit%20J%20D%20Murder/Item%2013.pdf
Even though there was a tape of her speaking on the phone with Mark Lane and it was played during her testimony before the Commission ...She denied that it was even her on the phone ???
Her statements concerning the shooting, the perpetrator, the lineup and every other incident were all over the place.
She was so off the wall that "the commission was just glad to get rid of her".
Consider a report from one researcher. As in her testimony, she had a son that lived with her. The boy had been in big trouble with the police [burglaries for the most part] Perhaps this had influenced her demeanor. We will never know for sure.
-

According to the housekeeper..she last saw Oswald near the bus stop at Zang and Beckley [about 2 lots north of the rooming house. So if someone was headed into downtown -they would have simply just waited for the bus right there.

If I remember correctly, the bus stop that he was heading in the direction of was on a different route than the one that stopped at Zang and Beckley. And that route reportedly included the areas north of downtown in which both Love Field and Walker’s residence are located.

If there was such a bus stop, it's most likely location would be on Jefferson, rather than on 10th Street. Tippit's killer was not walking in the direction of Jefferson.

Absolutely. The shooter was proceeding east [apparently] on 10th. No buses that way. Mrs Markham was on her way to catch her bus on Jefferson as stated. She was not waiting for her bus at the [10th and Patton corner] The bus stop by the Oswald rooms up on the east side of Beckley is the via downtown route. What do I know? I've only lived in Dallas all my life. But don't take my word for it...just look at the map :-\

There are present-day bus stops at the intersections of both Marsailis & Jefferson, and Tenth & Jefferson. I don’t know about these in 1963. But I would think that they existed back then also. Like I said before, this was reportedly a different route that included the area north of downtown.

What was Tippit and the man who shot him doing at that location?
We can only speculate.... Unless new evidence surfaces. It's obvious to me that Lee Oswald had been suckered into being the scapegoat, but he unwittingly threw a monkey wrench into the machinery when he wasn't on the sixth floor at the time of the murder. I firmly believe that the conspirators never intended for Lee to leave the TSBD alive. ... And if he had been on the sixth floor he probably would have been shot to death by an "alert cop" and the case would have been closed then and there. When he simply walked out of the TSBD and boarded a bus a couple of blocks away he created a panic for the conspirators, which required that they fall back to plan "B".... They knew that he would be in the Texas Theater because that was where they they had told him to meet his handler after they hoax attempt to shoot JFK. Lee thought that he would be whisked out of the country and accepted by Castro after the attempt to shoot JFK. ( The same basic MO that Lee used at Walker's residence in April.) So even though they never intended for Lee to leave the TSBD alive, they were prepared to get him shot in the Texas Theater...if he escaped the TSBD.
They planned for an angry cop to shoot him in the theater.... To stir up the police they had set Tippit up as a patsy to be shot by a man who would run to the Texas Theater. Then the irate cop would shoot Lee in the theater. It's entirely possible that Tippit may have been designated to be the "alert cop" in the TSBD so by appointing Tippit to be the hero who caught the fleeing assassin if he escaped the TSBD they suckered Tippit into being in a position to be shot and killed by a man who then fled to the Texas Theater....thus eliminating a link between them and the assassination and stirring up a swarm of angry cops who they thought would kill the armed Lee Oswald in the theater. But.....Lee inadvertently foiled their plan again when he didn't panic and remained calm in the theater. If he had jumped up and tried to escape ....he would have been killed....
This is what I believe was the scheme ..... and as I said now we can only speculate.....
But Based on the evidence and the facts, one thing that I have no doubt about is:.... Lee Oswald DID NOT shoot anybody in Dallas that day.....
-
As you can see there was no "draining of Oak Cliff" at 12.45pm as claimed by Jackson. Other than Dealey Plaza, there were more units available in that district than any other.
-
OK.The man who shot JD Tippit was Oswald.Much is made of the timing.Oswald couldn't get there on time etc. It's about a mile at the most from Oswald's rooming house to the crime scene. So if Oswald starts between 1.00 and 1.05 say and going at a brisk pace of 5mph he gets to the crime scene at between 1.12-1.17.
But who says he walked.He could've just as easily ran most of the way.In that case he would be moving at an average of 8MPH,In that case he could get to the crime scene between 1.08 - 1.13 or even earlier. It's just supposition to say he walked,It's also supposition to say he ran. If he did run then he is hardly going to tell Fritz that, as that would make it appear he was in flight.
So all this he didn't have time, is only supposition. So it was entirely possible for Oswald to have arrived within the time frame to kill JD. And there were numerous witnesses identified him as the cop killer.

Doesn't matter...he had to hurry up and get there so he could shoot that cop :-\

So show me clear evidence that the Dallas police did exhustive house to house enquiries along the whole route.Show me proof that they did call backs to every property were they got no answer. Show me clear proof that any person has to be spotted by people when he or she walks or runs a nominated mile.

Don't know if your being sarcastic..but I don't think the murder of a cop be it yesterday or 50 years ago is something to make mirth over.

So you're good at arithmetic... That's GREATTT!!...Because perhaps you'll be able to figger out the time elapsed between 1:04 and 1:05 or possible 1:06....
Lee Oswald was seen standing in front of 1026 N. Beckley at 1:04..( according to his landlady Mrs Roberts) and Mrs Markham saw a young man ( the man who shot JD Tippit) walking east on Tenth at about 1:05 ( Markham said she saw Tippit shot to death at 1:06)
How much time elapsed between 1:04 and 1:06??

You may well be right.On the other hand there are so many times being bandied about and with so many witnesses sketchy on times, that it's difficult to be sure. I'm simply making the point that if the killing happened on or after 1.08 it's conceivable that a fit able bodied person could've got from 1026 N.Beckley to be at the crime scene as early as 1.08. Depending obviously on his transport mode.Running,walking.And his time of departure from the rooming house.
I think the case for Oswald would need another witness corroboration of Mrs Markham timings. The poor lady was hysterical after the shooting and made quite a few mistakes.

I assume that you mean the case for Lee's innocence would need another witness.... Well it just so happens that your wish for corroboration of Helen Markham's sworn statement that Tippit was shot at 1:06 was verified by a man named TF Bowley. Mr Bowley arrived at the murder scene at 1:10 ( according to his sworn affidavit) And saw officer Tippit lying on the street near the left front wheel of his squad car. Obviously Tippit had been shot a few minutes before Bowley arrived at 1:10....

It’s also entirely possible that it wasn’t Oswald.
And there were numerous witnesses identified him as the cop killer.
No there weren’t.
-
There’s also Margie Higgins who placed the shooting at 1:06. And Tippit’s death certificate that said he was DOA at the hospital at 1:15.

So you're good at arithmetic... That's GREATTT!!...Because perhaps you'll be able to figger out the time elapsed between 1:04 and 1:05 or possible 1:06....
Lee Oswald was seen standing in front of 1026 N. Beckley at 1:04..( according to his landlady Mrs Roberts) and Mrs Markham saw a young man ( the man who shot JD Tippit) walking east on Tenth at about 1:05 ( Markham said she saw Tippit shot to death at 1:06)
How much time elapsed between 1:04 and 1:06??
Looking at Mrs.Markhams testimony, sworn testimony. She states that she was walking South towards Jefferson.When asked about the time she said "It was a little after 1.." and " I wouldn't be afraid to bet it wasn't 6 or 7 minutes after 1". Looks like, at this point she had not arrived at the bus stop area so that testimony is not very clear on timings. And she doesn't actually put a precise time on the shooting. She said "yes,this man shot the Policeman" There does not appear to be any reference to the actual time of the killing.
-
I think the case for Oswald would need another witness corroboration of Mrs Markham timings
I assume that you mean the case for Lee's innocence would need another witness.... Well it just so happens that your wish for corroboration of Helen Markham's sworn statement that Tippit was shot at 1:06 was verified by a man named TF Bowley. Mr Bowley arrived at the murder scene at 1:10 ( according to his sworn affidavit) And saw officer Tippit lying on the street near the left front wheel of his squad car. Obviously Tippit had been shot a few minutes before Bowley arrived at 1:10....
But that doesn't corroborate Mrs.Markham. It simple says TF Bowley, according to his watch, arrived at the crime scene at 1.10. He also stated that another person at the scene said "lets catch him" This could indicate the gunman had only left the scene shortly before TF Bowley arrives. So it's actually very difficult to put a precise time on the actual killing.
Which could put in doubt any claim that a gunman would not have time to be at the crime scene as the time of the actual murder is not clear.

I have tried this serveral times in the past, but so far no LNr has even tried to come up with a plausible scenario for Markham still being at 10th/Patton at 1:14 or 1:15 when she testified she left home "a little after 1" and the one block walk from her home on 9th street to the corner of 10th street and Patton would have taken her only 2, perhaps 3 minutes. Markham estimated in her testimony that she took the 1.15 bus to work every day. And before you go there, yes I know that according to the bus schedule (which btw nobody has ever been able to show me) there was a bus at 1.12 and one at 1.22. It actually doesn't matter which bus Markham was talking about, because a walk of two blocks to the bus stop would have taken her no more than 6 minutes. So, if she left home "a little after 1" she would have easily been at the bus stop at around 1.15 and thus not at 10th/Patton. In other words, Tippit must have been shot earlier than 1.15, most likely around 1.06, because otherwise Markham could not have witnessed it.
The same thing goes for Bowley. He arrived after Tippit was killed. In his affidavit he said he picked up his daughter at R.L. Thornton School in Singing Hills at "about 12:55". School bells, in my experience, have a tendency to ring at the correct time every day! Now, let's also not forget that, after picking up his daughter, Bowley was also going to pick up his wife from work, to go on a family holiday and thus had every reason to be on time and be aware of the time! The drive from the school to 10th/Patton is about 7 miles long and takes roughly 13 minutes, depending on the route, making it absolutely possible and plausible for him to arrive at 10th street at 1.10 pm, like he said he did in his affidavit.
But even if we are kind to the LNs and accept that Bowley didn't pick up his daughter on time (leaving her waiting for 5 minutes or longer) and did not leave the school until 1 PM, he still would have arrived at 10th/Patton at 1:13, which of course would have been prior to the shooting of Tippit at 1:15, as the WC narrative claims.
These two timelines alone justify, IMO, the conclusion that Tippit was in fact shot before 1:10 pm, which makes it nearly impossible for Oswald to have been there. But perhaps the LNs can provide a plausible scenario for these two timelines to be wrong...? I'll wait and see, but I won't hold my breath.

Fairly selective. What about the other witnesses? Davis sisters (in law), Scoggins, Benavides et al.
Ignoring them?

No, but none of the other witnesses had a reason to be acutely aware of the time.
Markham needed to catch the bus to go to work and Bowley had to pick up his daughter from school and his wife from work.
Selective or not, the combination of Markham's testimony and Bowley's affidavit provides a solid timeline which also fits perfectly with Tippit being declared DOA at the hospital at 1.15.
-
The LN scenario goes something like this:
Markham’s washateria clock was chronically 6 or 7 minutes slow and she had no other timepiece so she always thought that her 1:22 bus was a 1:15 bus. Therefore, when she said she left at 6 or 7 minutes after 1:00, it was actually 1:12-1:13 and she got to 10th & Patton just in time for Tippit’s shooting at 1:16.

And the hospital clock where Tippit was taken must have been slow as the correct times on the sheets were altered subsequently. There must have been a problem over the whole of Dallas that morning causing all these clocks and watches to be slow. :D

Part of the LN scenario is also that Bowley's watch was also 5 minutes slow. Never mind that this would mean that he left his daughter waiting 5 minutes at school, without noticing it
And the hospital clock where Tippit was taken must have been slow as the correct times on the sheets were altered subsequently. There must have been a problem over the whole of Dallas that morning causing all these clocks and watches to be slow. :D
The Tippit murder was a local crime. So, why was the FBI constantly phoning the hospital about the time of death?
-
Yeah they had a rash of almost equally slow timepieces in Oak Cliff that day.
The police dispatcher’s time checks on the possibly edited, non-continuous dictabelt dubs, though, you can take to the bank.
-
Don't know if your being sarcastic..but I don't think the murder of a cop be it yesterday or 50 years ago is something to make mirth over.
Apparently, the point is not the only thing you seem to be missing.

Mrs Markham saw a young man ( the man who shot JD Tippit) walking east on Tenth at about 1:05 ( Markham said she saw Tippit shot to death at 1:06) How much time elapsed between 1:04 and 1:06??

As I recall ...Mrs Markham was on the telephone talking to her daughter when she noticed that the clock in her apartment indicated that it was about 1:00 pm. She told her daughter that she needed to hang up and go to catch the bus . Since she wanted to verify the clock in her apartment was correct she looked at the washateria clock as she walked through that laundry room.... She was acutely aware of the time when she reached the intersection of 10th & Patton....and she said in her sworn affidavit that the time was 1:06 when she saw officer Tippit shot by a young man who had bushy hair, was wearing a jacket that was darker colored than the jacket displayed to her as the jacket of the killer, white shirt and black trousers.
At the theater Lee Oswald was wearing a tawny gray colored shirt, ( Not a white shirt) and gray trousers......
Mr. BALL. Did he have a jacket or a shirt? The man that you saw shoot Officer Tippit and run away, did you notice if he had a jacket on?
Mrs. MARKHAM. He had a jacket on when he done it.
Mr. BALL. What kind of a jacket, what general color of jacket?
Mrs. MARKHAM. It was a short jacket open in the front, kind of a grayish tan.
Mr. BALL. I have here an exhibit, Commission Exhibit 162, a jacket. Did you ever see this before?
Mrs. MARKHAM. No; I did not.
Mr. BALL. Does it look like, anything like, the jacket the man had on?
Mrs. MARKHAM. It is short, open down the front. But that jacket it is a darker jacket than that, I know it was.
Mr. BALL. You don't think it was as light a jacket as that?
Mrs. MARKHAM. No, it was darker than that, I know it was. At that moment I was so excited--
Mr. BALL. I show you a shirt here, which is Exhibit 150. Did you ever see a shirt the color of this?
Mrs. MARKHAM. The shirt that this man had, it was a lighter looking shirt than that.
Mr. BALL. The man who shot Tippit?
Mrs. MARKHAM. Yes, sir; I think it was lighter.

Fairly selective. What about the other witnesses? Davis sisters (in law), Scoggins, Benavides et al.
Ignoring them?
Four firearms experts testified that the empty cartridge cases, found near the crime scene, were fired from the Smith & Wesson 38 special caliber revolver taken from Oswald, when he was arrested at the theatre.And they declared that the four cartridges were fired from this weapon, to the exclussion of all others.
A total of 12 witnesses saw the man with the revolver.Six had picked Oswald out from line ups as the man at the crime scene .Three other identified him from photographs.Two others said he resembled the man at the crime scene. Not claiming this is being ignored.
There is an issue with the time in relation to Oswald getting from his rooming house at around the 1.02+ in time to get to the crime scene to commit murder. But that doesn't rule out Oswald. The eye witnesses and the ballistic evidence are to strong to be dismissed. And both those strong lines of evidence place Oswald at the crime scene.

Correction: cartridges that were handed to police by civilians (two of which were missing the policeman’s initials placed thereon) were matched to a revolver that Gerald Hill pulled out of his pocket 2 hours after Oswald’s arrest.
A total of 12 witnesses saw the man with the revolver.Six had picked Oswald out from line ups as the man at the crime scene .Three other identified him from photographs.Two others said he resembled the man at the crime scene. Not claiming this is being ignored.
Unfair, biased lineups are unreliable. Also, seeing a man with a handgun a block or two away from a crime scene isn’t evidence that the man shot anybody.

You make bold statements but can never back them up with actual evidence.... Why is that?
the Smith & Wesson 38 special caliber revolver taken from Oswald
Taken from Oswald? Really? And you know this, how?
As far as I know the chain of custody for the revolver started at the police station about two hours after Oswald was arrested, when Hill got some guys (some who had not even been at the arrest) to put a mark on a revolver he just presented to them. Since when do police officers walk around with a suspect's gun for two hours before turning it in to the evidence locker?
The eye witnesses and the ballistic evidence are to strong to be dismissed
Too strong? Really?
Eye witness testimony is the least reliable kind of evidence and there is no ballistic evidence to link the bullets recovered from Tippit's body to any weapon.
And both those strong lines of evidence place Oswald at the crime scene.
Actually, wishful thing does....
Why don't you try to provide a credible alternative to the Markham/Bowley timeline instead of ignoring it.
A fair minded person would accept that if Oswald physically couldn't have been there at around 1.06, when - as the actual evidence shows - Tippit was really shot, it could mean that the witnesses were wrong. But, I guess, hell needs to freeze over twice before you are willing to go there, right?

A lot of the timings are approximate so nothing is really clear on that front. Also nobody knows if Oswald ran,walked or what. If he thought that it would only be a matter of time till the police arrived at his rooming house it stands to reason he wants to get himself away as quickly as possible. So it's quite possible that he ran flat out part of the way. In any case the eye witnesses and the ballistic evidence place him at the crime scene.

Yes, but not the timings of Markham, who needed to catch a bus, and Bowley, who needed to collect his child from school.
Also nobody knows if Oswald ran,walked or what.
Yeah right... Earlene Roberts saw him at the bus stop just after the one o'clock news came on television. The combined testimony/affidavit of Markham and Bowley make a solid case for Tippit being shot at 1.06. There is no way that anybody could have walked or ran the distance to get there in 5 minutes or less. So, your next claim is going to be "perhaps somebody drove him"?..... Just ask yourself why would anybody drive a guy, allegedly in a hurry to escape, to a go nowhere location like 10th street?
In any case the eye witnesses and the ballistic evidence place him at the crime scene.
Actually, no it doesn't. There is no ballistic link whatsoever between the bullets recovered from Tippit's body and the shells or revolver they claim they took of Oswald. As for the eye witnesses, as I said before, that's the weakest kind of evidence you can get. Scoggings, for example, couldn't identify Oswald from a photo to the FBI only a day after the line up. And Markham... "was there a number 2 man" would have been destroyed on cross examination, as would have been several others.
But I take it that all this means that you can not knock down the logic of the combined Markham/Bowley evidence, right?

He 'trotted' away from the murder scene, according to a witness or two. Try trotting yourself... It's a very efficient method of covering ground in a timely manner w/o straining. A little faster than brisk walking, I found. Also appears less rushed than fast jogging and certainly all-out sprinting... in case of 'eyes on'

According to Hugh Aynesworth, she initially had a completely different account:
From Hugh Aynesworth interview by Larry A. Sneed in his book: “No More Silence.”
“She told me that day that Oswald came running in while she was watching television and that she tried to talk to him about the President being killed. He didn’t want to talk, so he went in, changed his jacket and ran out. She then saw him run off the porch to the left and that was the last time that she saw him.”

Hiding behind Aynesworth's quotes makes you a coward! And, no, Hugh could not answer my question, which is if you agree with him!
Let me think, should I believe your claim?:
“Yeah right... Earlene Roberts saw him at the bus stop just after the one o'clock news came on television.”
Or should I believe Hugh Aynesworth?
Hmm...

Hugh Aynsworth has always been a Warren report supporter, so take anything he says with a large dose of salt.

Some more of Hughe’s words from that interview:
“So Larry Grove, a reporter for the News, and I started working on escape route stories. Five days later we did a massive story about how he had gotten out of the Book Depository, where he was, what he did, the bus, etc. We didn’t get any tremendous detail, but we disclosed for the first time the bus driver, the cab driver, and all the people that he encountered along the way. That was in the paper before the Warren Commission was ever formed, and it stood up quite well.”

It was not my claim, it was what Earlene Roberts said. Nothing what Hugh Aynesworth said in the book is in conflict with what Earlene Roberts said.

What is the logic behind this mind numbing claim? It's difficult to understand why we should take a reporter's version of events "with a large dose of salt" simply because he believes Oswald is guilty. Maybe he came to that conclusion based on the evidence. He was there on the scene. Are you suggesting he intentionally lied for some reason? Was he part of the frame up, for example?

It stood up quite well??? What an absurd notion..... Not a single element of that tale has stood up under scrutiny. The Bus Driver Mc Watters, was not referring to Lee Oswald in his recollections.... Whaley the cabbie said that he picked up a young man who was dressed in a a BLUE working man's uniform at 12:30....Which was the time the shots were being fired in Dealey plaza....So his passenger could not have bee Lee Oswald. And in fact Whaley's entire tale appears as nothing but BS.
-
It was not my claim, it was what Earlene Roberts said. Nothing what Hugh Aynesworth said in the book is in conflict with what Earlene Roberts said.
The conflict is that she told Aynesworth that “she saw him run off the porch to the left and that was the last time she saw him.” Versus your claim that: “she saw him at the bus stop just after the 1:00 news came on television.”
-

There is no conflict. Both claims can be correct. People aren't always accurate and 100% complete in their recollections, in every conversation.
Perhaps you would have had a valid point if the bus stop had been a mile or so away, but it wasn't. It was nearly in front of the roominghouse.
-
Yeah right... Earlene Roberts saw him at the bus stop just after the one o'clock news came on television.
According to Hugh Aynesworth, she initially had a completely different account:
From Hugh Aynesworth interview by Larry A. Sneed in his book: “No More Silence.”
“She told me that day that Oswald came running in while she was watching television and that she tried to talk to him about the President being killed. He didn’t want to talk, so he went in, changed his jacket and ran out. She then saw him run off the porch to the left and that was the last time that she saw him.”
changed his jacket
So, if we are to believe Aynesworth's account, Earlene Roberts told him basically that Oswald entered the house wearing a jacket?
You can not change a jacket if you aren't wearing one to begin with, right?
-
changed his jacket

This brings up something that Mrs Robert's said..... Mrs Roberts said that he was in his "shirt sleeves" when he arrived at the rooming house at 1:00pm.....
My grandmother used those same words when she was referring to a man wearing an undershirt....without another garment ( jacket or sleeved shirt)
It's possible that Lee had already removed his sport shirt and thus Mrs Roberts saw him wearing his undershirt when he arrived at the house.
-
Four firearms experts testified that the empty cartridge cases, found near the crime scene, were fired from the Smith & Wesson 38 special caliber revolver taken from Oswald, when he was arrested at the theatre.And they declared that the four cartridges were fired from this weapon, to the exclussion of all others.
A total of 12 witnesses saw the man with the revolver.Six had picked Oswald out from line ups as the man at the crime scene .Three other identified him from photographs.Two others said he resembled the man at the crime scene. Not claiming this is being ignored.
There is an issue with the time in relation to Oswald getting from his rooming house at around the 1.02+ in time to get to the crime scene to commit murder. But that doesn't rule out Oswald. The eye witnesses and the ballistic evidence are to strong to be dismissed. And both those strong lines of evidence place Oswald at the crime scene.
A total of 12 witnesses saw the man with the revolver. The eye witnesses and the ballistic evidence are to strong to be dismissed.
I agree....the ballistic evidence is to strong to be dismissed.
Virtually all of the witnesses who saw the gunman after the murder of Tippit said that he removed one spent shell at a time as he walked away from the scene. The killer removed one spent shell and tossed it away and then removed another and another as he walked along...Thus the shells were scattered over a large area.
The S&W revolver has an ejector mechanism that ejects all of the shells at once. ( This was demonstrated for the Warren Commission)
So if the killer had been using a S&W he could not have removed the shells one at a time as reported by the witnesses at the scene.
The man was NOT Lee Oswald and the gun was NOT a Smith & Wesson.......

It appears that in your world "she saw him run off the porch to the left and that was the last time she saw him" can also mean that "she saw him at the bus stop just after the 1:00 news came on television.” (By the way the bus stop is in front of the house to the right as you run off the porch.)
It appears that in your world left means right, and last time means last time other than the next time. If I remember correctly you are also the one who argued that even though Wesley Frazier told an untruth, that didn't mean that he lied.

“"in your shirtsleeves" means you are not wearing anything over your shirt”

That's probably true.... But back in the day... 50, or 60, or 70 years ago not everybody was well educated, and used a dictionary to learn the meaning of a word.... They used like "car" to mean any conveyance like a street car, or a carriage..... but not many folks today know that. The word "car" now means an automobile. And many folks used the "N" word to describe a negro.... There was nothing derogatory or obscene about the word. ( Remember "Huckleberry Finn?.. What did Jim call himself? ) ....
So old Mrs Roberts probably was referring to seeing Lee in his T shirt when he arrived at the rooming house.....IMO

Aynesworth wrote this about the single bullet theory and the WC (this is from his book "Eyewitness to History.")
"The only subject I woudn't touch [with Mark Lane] was one I still refuse to touch today. I do not know how to explain Kennedy's and Connally's wound. The Warren Commission might be correct or perhaps totally wrong about its much-maligned single bullet theory, the belief that a single bullet slammed through the president's back and throat and then into Governor Connally. I do know that I heard three distinct shots that afternoon."
For a supposed lifelong WC defender that's a pretty odd statement - "they might be correct or perhaps totally wrong" - about a key claim made by the commission.
It's funny that Aynesworth has been called a CIA asset by some in the "There was a conspiracy camp" (yeah, they call everyone who disagree with them that but never mind). He said that one of his biggest mistakes was giving Mark Lane his (Aynesworth's) work on the assassination. This included his notes and interviews and other material that he compiled BEFORE the Warren Commission was formed.
So why did this controlled CIA asset helped Mark Lane?
-
I don’t know why Aynesworth’s hearsay would be any more reliable than anyone else’s.
-
For a supposed lifelong WC defender that's a pretty odd statement - "they might be correct or perhaps totally wrong" - about a key claim made by the commission.
He might have realized how far out it was...
So why did this controlled CIA asset helped Mark Lane?
I'm sure Graves is ready to lecture you on why or why not this might be the case.
He might have realized how far out it was...
Eyewitness Charles Brehm said the following in his interview by Larry Sneed in his book “No More Silence.”
“Within hours after the knowledge was given to me that Connally was also wounded, I said the only thing that I could think of was that a bullet that went through the President had also obviously hit Connally because there were only three shots fired: one went wild and two hit the President. The question then was how could it have happened? At that time, it was very easy for me to open up my shirt and show the bullet wound in what was the solar plexus, to come over here and show the exit wound where it passed through my body and came out between my ribs; then the second part of the bullet, the damage, because the bullet was softened and out of shape, tore my arm apart. One bullet did that to me! Any questions that night about what a single bullet can do, my God, I was living proof of it that day!”
So apparently, Arlen Spector wasn’t the first one to think of that theory. And it isn’t that far out either.

Hugh Aynesworth had over thirty plus years of reporting which included hundreds, if not thousands, of articles (and several books). We are literally talking about tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of words. Thousands of interviews. It's a lot of work including not only the JFK assassination but the Waco siege, Ted Bundy and other horrible stories.
To my knowledge there hasn't been a single allegation of any unethical or improper reporting on his part. No one has claimed that he or she was misquoted, no stories were retracted, no allegations of inaccurate stories (although I'm sure over that time he got some facts wrong).
This is a serious, professional journalist. Not a hack.
Yet we're supposed to consider his "hearsay" as not being any more credible than anyone else's "hearsay"?
-
Earlene Roberts WC testimony
Mrs. Roberts: He went to his room and he was in his shirt sleeves but I couldn't tell you whether it was a long-sleeved shirt or what color it was or nothing, and he got a jacket and put it on---it was kind of a zipper jacket.

And Oswald was wearing a Tshirt that day, not an undershirt

Both claims can be correct.
It appears that in your world "she saw him run off the porch to the left and that was the last time she saw him" can also mean that "she saw him at the bus stop just after the 1:00 news came on television.” (By the way the bus stop is in front of the house to the right as you run off the porch.)
It appears that in your world left means right, and last time means last time other than the next time. If I remember correctly you are also the one who argued that even though Wesley Frazier told an untruth, that didn't mean that he lied.

Semantics.
As you have demonstrated so very well with this post, people simply do not get everything correct and 100% complete every time. In this instance you've got nothing right. Better luck next time....
If I remember correctly you are also the one who argued that even though Wesley Frazier told an untruth, that didn't mean that he lied.
Could it be your memory is playing tricks with your mind? What untruth did Wesley Frazier tell?
On the one hand we have the recollection of Aynesworth, as expressed by Larry Sneed, in his book published in 1998 and on the other hand we have an affidavit given by Earlene Roberts to the Secret Service on December 5th 1963 and you prefer to go with a 35 year old recollection over a statement by the witness herself only days after the murders. Go figure....
The funny thing is that none of it matters. The timeline established by the WC leaves very little room for Oswald's arrival at the rooming house sustantially earlier than 1 pm, making it physically impossible for a walking or running Oswald to be on 10th and Patton at 1.06 or 1.07, which IMO the best evidence shows is when Tippit was killed.

I have no intention of contacting Hugh Aynesworth. Here are more of his words from Larry Sneed’s interview, he is talking about the scene in Dealey Plaza immediately after the assassination:
“During that time span, I kept thinking, “He’s in that building!” I remember interviewing people that said that they saw certain things: some did, some didn’t. Even then there were people making up things. Even then! I remember interviewing a young couple where the guy was telling me that he had seen this and he had seen that, and his wife said, “You didn’t see that! We were back in the parking lot when it happened!” Even then! And, of course, we’ve seen that in abundance since.”

You used an Aynesworth quote to claim that Roberts changed her story in response to conspiracy theorists offering money to her. I merely questioned when this occurred as she was talking of "the police car outside the house" a week after the assassination.
Now you use a quote from him suggesting that after the shots people were mistaken and "made stuff up". No need for money or CTs now.
The logical progression is following.
After the shooting people were mistaken and described events that did not happen.
Roberts described events after the event so she must have made them up or was mistaken. QED?

I said previously that I am only reporting what Aynesworth said. Here is some more from Sneed’s interview:
“When you pay money, you get what you pay for. You word your questions the way that you want a response, and people are smart enough to know that if they disagree with you, you may not come back and you may not pay them again. Sadly, many people have made a lot of money out of this thing, and it’s contorted the whole story.”
And your generalizations are nonsense. Here are more of Aynesworth’s words (which immediately follow his account of his visit with Roberts):
“But this is the way with so many of these witnesses. If you got to them that day, they were stunned and told you what they really saw, although, as I’ve said, some of them were even making up stories then.”

"Some Types of Memory Improve or Stay the Same
A type of memory called semantic memory continues to improve for many older adults. Semantic memory is the ability to recall concepts and general facts that are not related to specific experiences. For example, understanding the concept that clocks are used to tell time is a simple example of semantic memory. This type of memory also includes vocabulary and knowledge of language. In addition, procedural memory, your memory of how to do things, such as how to tell time by reading the numbers on a clock, typically stays the same."

Aynesworth doesn’t elaborate on your questions in that interview. I suggest that you contact him if you really want to know.
I did re-read a short chapter in his book “Witness to History” titled: “The First Conspiracy Theorist: Mr. Stalls” though. Rodney Stalls was sitting on Aynesworth’s doorstep when he arrived home on the night of 11/22/63. He described a conspiracy involving the Russians and H.L. Hunt.
So, it didn’t take long at all for the conspiracy theorists to start showing up...

You've been on the Ruth Paine tour bus?
You saw his notes?
No, however Aynesworth was in Dealey Plaza on 11/22/63 as a casual observer (not on any assignment). When he began interviewing eyewitnesses immediately following the assassination, he didn’t have his normal pad and pencil. He gave a nearby kid a quarter for his fat school pencil. And he used some utility bill envelopes that he had in his pocket to make notes on. Furthermore, when I did speak to Aynesworth on the phone, to ask about some quotes of Henry Wade he had written about, he confirmed to me that those quotes were from his notes. So it appears to me that he typically does take notes and refers to them. And it stands to reason that he did so when he interviewed Roberts on 11/22/63. If you need to know for sure please contact Hugh Aynesworth and ask him yourself.

Correct. He's been an investigative reporter for more than three decades and has worked for major news organizations. He's written hundreds, probably thousands, of articles and interviewed countless - must be at least in the hundreds if not thousands - of witnesses. He's produced a lot of material on the assassination, Ted Bundy, the Waco siege and other stories. He was a serious reporter.
Nowhere have I read of a source/witness saying they were misquoted. If he had been we know these conspiracy advocates would be repeating them. Ad nauseam.
Can his critics cite where his reporting was wrong? No. Can they cite instances of him misquoting a witness? No. Can they cite him having to retract stories? No.
But because he presents evidence of Oswald's guilt, he has to be dismissed. Obviously people can choose to accept or ignore whatever evidence or claims they want. But rejecting Aynesworth solely because he reports things conspiracists and Oswald defenders don't like isn't a legitimate reason to do so.
-
So the tale goes.
He also considers Buell Frazier one of the must honest guys he's met (paraphrased).
Aynesworth is a total waste of time.

This is the same response I get when I mention Robert Caro on LBJ. Caro's spent twenty plus years investigating LBJ's life. From birth to death. And he's come up with no evidence that LBJ was behind/involved in the assassination.
So what's the Oswald defender response? Simply dismiss his work out of hand. Don't even consider it. Can he be wrong? Of course. But to just dismiss it out hand is not a legitimate response. Not in my opinion.
This is how it goes. We're dealing with a type of religious mentality or thinking here. They know there was a conspiracy, they know Oswald was framed, and that's it. Any evidence indicating otherwise is to be ignored.

Yes, that type of response is fairly common. However, I usually try to reason things out. If only for the benefit of anyone who has an open mind, that might be reading these posts. But there is a point where it becomes rather pointless...

Post #101 on page 11
Despite your selfserving cherry picking "pretty sure" comment, you agreed that Roberts was absolutely an unreliable witness.
I didn't agree that she was an unreliable witness
I agreed with the possibility that she was

"..to be ignored".---scrutinized

Can his critics cite where his reporting was wrong? No. Can they cite instances of him misquoting a witness? No. Can they cite him having to retract stories? No.
Did Aynesworth recall Roberts telling him that Oswald “changed his jacket”?
Do you believe that’s correct?

"Any evidence indicating otherwise is to be ignored"
The above quote sounds like a quip from deep within the bowels of the smoke filled back rooms of the Warren Omission.

Four firearms experts testified that the empty cartridge cases, found near the crime scene, were fired from the Smith & Wesson 38 special caliber revolver taken from Oswald, when he was arrested at the theatre.And they declared that the four cartridges were fired from this weapon, to the exclussion of all others.
A total of 12 witnesses saw the man with the revolver.Six had picked Oswald out from line ups as the man at the crime scene .Three other identified him from photographs.Two others said he resembled the man at the crime scene. Not claiming this is being ignored.
There is an issue with the time in relation to Oswald getting from his rooming house at around the 1.02+ in time to get to the crime scene to commit murder. But that doesn't rule out Oswald. The eye witnesses and the ballistic evidence are to strong to be dismissed. And both those strong lines of evidence place Oswald at the crime scene.

That's fine....Now please prove that those cartridges were the ones that were picked up at the scene, and tell us WHEN those cartridges were fired.
A total of 12 witnesses saw the man with the revolver.
Yes, that's true... And what did those witnesses say about the manner in which the man unloaded the revolver? Isn't it true that they all said that he unloaded the spent cartridges ONE AT A TIME as he walked away? The revolver that was allegedly taken from Lee Oswald at the theater was a Smith & Wesson.... Smith and Wesson revolvers are designed to eject the cartridges all at the same time with a single push of the ejector rod. This was demonstrated for the Warren Commission by an FBI agent who was using the revolver from the theater. He pointed out that all of the shells were ejected at the same time and his hand was liberally coated with burned gun powder when he ejected the shells.
The man who shot JD Tippit removed one shell at a time and tossed the shell aside as he walked away....Thus the shells were found scattered over a wide area. Obviously the man was NOT using the Smith & Wesson revolver that was allegedly taken from Lee Oswald at the theater.
There is an issue with the time in relation to Oswald getting from his rooming house at around the 1.02+ in time to get to the crime scene to commit murder. But that doesn't rule out Oswald.
So you recognize that Lee Oswald could not have traveled from the rooming house to the murder scene in about three minutes, but you still believe that that fact "doesn't rule out Oswald"..... Do I have that right?

And Tippit’s death certificate that said he was DOA at the hospital at 1:15.
Can you post this please?

I have tried this serveral times in the past, but so far no LNr has even tried to come up with a plausible scenario for Markham still being at 10th/Patton at 1:14 or 1:15 when she testified she left home "a little after 1" and the one block walk from her home on 9th street to the corner of 10th street and Patton would have taken her only 2, perhaps 3 minutes. Markham estimated in her testimony that she took the 1.15 bus to work every day. And before you go there, yes I know that according to the bus schedule (which btw nobody has ever been able to show me) there was a bus at 1.12 and one at 1.22. It actually doesn't matter which bus Markham was talking about, because a walk of two blocks to the bus stop would have taken her no more than 6 minutes. So, if she left home "a little after 1" she would have easily been at the bus stop at around 1.15 and thus not at 10th/Patton. In other words, Tippit must have been shot earlier than 1.15, most likely around 1.06, because otherwise Markham could not have witnessed it.
The same thing goes for Bowley. He arrived after Tippit was killed. In his affidavit he said he picked up his daughter at R.L. Thornton School in Singing Hills at "about 12:55". School bells, in my experience, have a tendency to ring at the correct time every day! Now, let's also not forget that, after picking up his daughter, Bowley was also going to pick up his wife from work, to go on a family holiday and thus had every reason to be on time and be aware of the time! The drive from the school to 10th/Patton is about 7 miles long and takes roughly 13 minutes, depending on the route, making it absolutely possible and plausible for him to arrive at 10th street at 1.10 pm, like he said he did in his affidavit.
But even if we are kind to the LNs and accept that Bowley didn't pick up his daughter on time (leaving her waiting for 5 minutes or longer) and did not leave the school until 1 PM, he still would have arrived at 10th/Patton at 1:13, which of course would have been prior to the shooting of Tippit at 1:15, as the WC narrative claims.
These two timelines alone justify, IMO, the conclusion that Tippit was in fact shot before 1:10 pm, which makes it nearly impossible for Oswald to have been there. But perhaps the LNs can provide a plausible scenario for these two timelines to be wrong...? I'll wait and see, but I won't hold my breath.
So you either believe that Tippit's body was lying in the street for almost ten minutes before someone attempted to report it over the police radio... or you believe the police tapes have been fudged. Which do you believe?
-
Correction: cartridges that were handed to police by civilians (two of which were missing the policeman’s initials placed thereon) were matched to a revolver that Gerald Hill pulled out of his pocket 2 hours after Oswald’s arrest.
Please explain the problem with the chain of custody of the two Davis shells.
-
Also, seeing a man with a handgun a block or two away from a crime scene isn’t evidence that the man shot anybody.
Markham saw the shooting.
Scoggins and the two Davis girls saw the same man seen by Markham.
Callaway and Guinyard saw the same man seen by Scoggins and the two Davis girls.
Reynolds, Patterson and Russell saw the same man seen by Callaway and Guinyard.
Therefore, witnesses "a block away from the crime scene" saw the killer.
-
There is no conflict. Both claims can be correct. People aren't always accurate and 100% complete in their recollections, in every conversation.
So it's now possible that Helen Markham left her house well past 1:00 and as a result, it's now possible that Markham was at Tenth and Patton well past 1:06.
Got it.

Has anyone ever considered that Oswald might have been on his way to finish off Walker - hence 'grabbing the pistol', the direction he 'supposedly' headed?
(100% speculation!)

Yes, I speculate that he was originally heading to Davis Street then was planning to turn west toward the Love Field bus route stop at Davis and Westmount Avenue (total of three miles from the rooming house). I suspect when Tippit saw him, and started following him, that he made a evasive turn or two to see if he was indeed being followed. And ended up going east on Tenth Street. I think that there is a good possibility that he could have been thinking of a hi jack to Cuba. Or, as you speculate, heading to Walker’s house. I don’t think that he was just aimlessly wandering around.

Got it.
Yes, people do not get everything 100% right all the time. It is also possible that Markham got the time (1:15) wrong for catching the 1:12 bus!
What is beyond dispute however is that Markham saw Tippit being shot prior to Bowley's arrival at 1:10, shortly after which Bowley saw Tippit's body loaded in to an ambulance which took him to the hospital where he was declared DOA at 1:15, in the presence - according to their report - by DPD officers Davenport and Bardin.
For Markham to be wrong about the time she left home, Bowley also needs to be wrong about his time of arrival (which implicitely means he left his daughter waiting for him after school) and the hospital also must have gotten the time of the DOA wrong.

This is interesting Martin... We know that TF Bowley arrived at 1:10 ( and there's no good reason to doubt that the time is reasonably accurate) And I believe he took a quick look at Tippit who was lying on the street, and then went to use Tippit's radio. That time could have been anywhere between 1:10 and 1:12...
You say that Tippit's body was removed just after Bowley arrived .... Is there verification for the time that the ambulance picked up Tippit's body? It's difficult to believe that the ambulance could have arrived at the hospital at 1:15. I wonder if the DOA of 1:15 was just a guess .... Perhaps the ambulance attendants told the doctor that Tippit was dead when they picked him up.
-
(https://harveyandlee.net/Tippit/images/Davenport.jpg)
See, this is what is confusing to me, is the phrase "AT 1:15pm, pronounced dead" which logically one would read as meaning that the clock time was 1:15pm when Oswald was pronounced DOA.
That means the ambulance must have arrived at 10th and Patton about 3 minutes approx earlier at about 1:12pm which is just about right after Bowley makes a call about 1:10, which somehow gets recorded in the DPD dispatch record as 1:16pm
I maybe mistaken, but I think I remember Bill Brown having a thread many years back, in which Bill suggested the 1:15pm time was the physicians ESTIMATE of the time of death made, and that the actual time of arrival of the ambulance to the hospital emergency room was 1:18pm based on some other record

Walt,
Bowley said in his affidavit to the DPD that he saw the ambulance arrive and pick up Tippit just after he had been on the radio.
The arrival of the ambulance at the hospital (which was not far away) and the DOA time is confirmed by the report of Davenport and Bardin, posted earlier in this thread.

I remember that Brown argued that the ambulance couldn't have been at the hospital at 1:15 because a time stamp card of the funeral home allegedly documented the departure of the ambulance from Jefferson as having taken place at 1:18. The problem with that argument is that nobody has ever been able to produce that time stamp card and the only reference to it being made (as far as I know) is a rather vague statement of a funeral home employee to the HSCA.
There's also another indicator that the ambulance's arrival at the hospital at 1:18 doesn't do Brown any favor. When you trace the fastest route between 10th street and the hospital on North Beckley, on Google map, the estimated drive time is 7 minutes. Had the ambulance arrived at 1:18, it would mean that it must have picked up Tippit - at best - 7 minutes earlier, at 1:11. Obviously, that's a far cry from the ambulance leaving the funeral home at 1:18. On the other hand, it is within a reasonable margin of error (of 3 minutes or so) in the Markham/Bowley/Ambulance/ Davenport scenario.
In any event; let's not forget that Markham saw Tippit being shot prior to the arrival of Bowley (at 1:10) and Bowley saw the ambulance pick up Tippit just after he made his radio call. Combined, this information means that Tippit must have been shot somewhere between 1:06 and 1:10.

I believe that it was Sgt Gerald Hill who said that he left the TSBD immediately after he heard the radio report that an officer had been shot in Oak Cliff.....And that report came over the radio just after the shells were found beneath the window. ( The shells were found at 1:06 ) Hill said that the ambulance carrying Tippit's body passed in front of them as they exited the Houston street viaduct. I believe that it would have taken less than five minutes to drive from the TSBD to the south side of the viaduct.

Or they are simply speaking in terms of rounding to the nearest fifteen minute interval versus being more precise. Look at the three times mentioned in that offense report... 1:15, 1:30, 3:30. Do you really believe all three of those events occurred at those exact times instead of the 15 minute rounding up/down?

Another speculative hit and run.....
Follow that reasoning and you either have Tippit being declared DOA at 1:15 or 1:30......
Hang on, didn't Davenport state in his report that he witnessed that they tried to revive Tippit before declaring him DOA and that at 1:30 a bullet was already being removed from Tippit's body. I guess that rules out 1:30 as DOA time, doesn't it?

"Date and time of death: 1:15 PM, November 22, 1963"
The actual death certificate says that he died at 1:15, but his injury occurred at 1:18. Go figure...

I take it this means you have no point.

Huh?, we're discussing your comparison of the speed of a car in 2019 to the speed of an Ambulance in 1963 and beyond your alluding to an unknown suburban lunchtime traffic jam, you're still no closer to proving your initial assumption. Try again.

JohnM
We were discussing nothing of the kind, nor did I allude to a suburban lunchtime traffic jam, and there was no assumption on my part.
All I said was that according to google maps the distance between 10th street and the Methodist hospital on North Beckley is 1,5 miles and about a 7 minutes drive.
All you have been doing is desperately trying to reduce the theoretical driving time of the ambulance....
It's beyond me how that relates to Bill Brown's initial claim that an elusive time stamp card from the funeral home at Jefferson, which never was produced, allegedly showed that the call for an ambulance was received by the funeral home at 1:18 or even his current suggestion that Tippit's ambulance arrived at the hospital, 1,5 miles away, at 1:18....

I seriously don't have a dog in this hunt but your comparison of a car in 2019 to an Ambulance in 1963 is truly absurd and proves that you're not serious about solving anything.

The hospital was only a mile away. Seven minutes? Hardly.
Maybe their sirens weren't working
And they got a flat tire

There is no comparison of a car in 2019 to an ambulance in 1963. The distance between the location of Tippit's murder on 10th street and Methodist hospital on Beckley is the same now as it was then; 1,5 miles.

Heavy traffic at lunchtime on a Friday after the president is assassinated and schools and businesses are closing down?
What a bizarre notion.
::)

Still no basis for this claim.
"fair line-ups". LOL.
John, You're simply an ornery contrarian ..... Why the hell would you insist that a poster prove that there was only one man involved in the shooting of Tippit...
Virtually ALL of the witnesses said that there was only the one man shooting.

John, You're simply an ornery contrarian ..... Why the hell would you insist that a poster prove that there was only one man involved in the shooting of Tippit...
Well, for one thing, at least two witnesses reported seeing two men, and/or an extra police car in the driveway between 404 and 410 E 10th.
Virtually ALL of the witnesses said that there was only the one man shooting.
Only one witness claimed to see anybody shooting. Guys standing halfway down Patton street just saw a guy "trotting". How could anyone possibly know they saw the same person Markham or Davis saw?

"VINNIE IT IS ROUND"
by Mark Lane
"The Commission claimed that Mrs. Markham identified Lee Harvey Oswald as the man who shot
the policeman at a line up on November 22 and that in testimony before the Commission, Mrs. Markham confirmed her
positive identification of Lee Harvey Oswald as the man she saw kill Officer Tippit. Captain Fritz - who needed that
identification real quickly -- testified that the lineup was hurriedly arranged at 4:30 that afternoon, less than three
and a half hours after Tippit's death and less than that after Oswald's arrest. Mrs Markham was "quite hysterical"
when she arrived at police headquarters. Her state and the atmosphere in the lineup room are best described by the
record of her testimony."
Q: Now when you went into the room you looked these people over, these four men?
Markham: Yes , sir.
Q: Did you recognize anyone in the lineup?
Markham: No, sir
Q: You did not? Did you see anybody-I have asked you that question before-did you recognize anybody from their face?
"Counsel wished to remind Mrs. Markham that when he had prepared her for her testimony, before
a record of her answers was made, the matter had been discussed. To prepare a witness for testimony may
be acceptable where adversary and hostile cross-examination is expected, and it is also a legitimate way of
preventing repetition and irrelevant conjecture. The record of the Warren Commission, however, reveals no
such cross-examination and was burdened to such a degree by repetition and irrelevance that the initial
preparation seems to have been for the purpose of leading the witness to give an appropiate answer."
Markham: From their face, no.
Q: Did you identify anybody in these four people?
Markham: I didn't know nobody.
Q: I know you didn't know nobody, but did anybody in that lineup look like anybody you had seen before?
Markham: No. I had never seen none of them, none of these men.
Q: No one of the four?
Markham: No one of them.
Q: No one of the four?
Markham: No, sir.
"At this point counsel, a teacher of criminal law and procedure at the University of Southern California and
a member of the U.S. Judical Conference Advisory Committee on Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, asked a
rather leading question. Mrs. Markham said that she recognized no one at the lineup; counsel tried five times for a
more acceptable answer. Then, departing a little from the legal procedure he teaches, he next asked his friendly but
disconcerting witness, "Was there a number two man in there?" Mrs. Markham replied, "Number two is the one I
picked." Counsel began another question: "I thought you just told me that you hadn't, but Mrs. Markham interrupted
to answer inexplicably, "I thought you wanted me to describe their clothing."
Counsel then inquired:
Q: You recognized him from his appearance?
Markham: I asked-I looked at him. When I saw this man I wasn't sure, but I had cold chills just run all over me.
"A mystical identification at best. However, the Commission was satisfied that its lawyer had at last
obtained the right answer: "Addressing itself solely to the probative value of Mrs. Markham's contemporaneous
discription of the gunman and her identification of Oswald at a police lineup, the Commission considers her
testimony reliable."

Testimony Of Domingo Benavides
Mr. BELIN - Where were you when your vehicle stopped?
Mr. BENAVIDES - About 15 foot, just directly across the street and maybe a car length away from the police car.
~snip~
Mr. Belin: Let me ask you now, I would like you to relate again the action of the man with the gun as you saw him now.
Mr. Benavides: As I saw him, I really--I mean really got a good view of the man after the bullets were fired he had just turned. He was just turning away........
~snip~
Mr. BENAVIDES - I remember the back of his head seemed like his hairline was sort of--looked like his hairline sort of went square instead of tapered off. and he looked like he needed a haircut for about 2 weeks, but his hair didn't taper off, it kind of went down and squared off and made his head look fiat in back.
~snip~
A photo below of Ozzie in custody the same day Benavides observed and described Tippit's killer.
He's obviously not the person he saw at murder scene.

Thank you, Gary, It's such a pleasure to read posts from intelligent, reasonable, and rational people.
I'd like to add a bit more positive information.... Virtually all of the witnesses said the man removed the spent shells ONE AT A TIME as he walked away from the scene. The gun that was allegedly taken from Lee Oswald was a Smith & Wesson revolver . Smith & Wesson revolvers are not unloaded by extracting one shell at a time .... The Smith & Wesson is designed to remove all the shells at once with a single push of the extractor rod. And the user hand is usually covered with burned gun powder. Clearly the killer was NOT using a Smith and Wesson revolver.....So Lee Oswald could not have been the murderer.....
-

Unfair, biased lineups are unreliable.

Bull. Only one witness saw a shooter at all.
How could anyone possibly know they saw the same person Markham or Davis saw? They saw the gun in his hands..... How many men were at the scene or trotting up Patton carrying a gun?
How should I know? Seeing a guy holding a gun (or in some cases not even holding a gun) at a different location is not the same as seeing a shooter.
-
Why would they need to know what anybody else saw.
Because Bill Brown claimed that they all saw the same man.

Let me simplify that question for you....Were there reports of more than one man at the Tippit murder scene who was seen with a gun in his hand?
The man ( Singular) with the gun was the killer.

There's no reason to think so. But that's completely irrelevant. The point of posting that document was that it's yet another document that shows an earlier time for Tippit's death. Try to focus.

Bill Brown is fully capable of answering for himself. In the meantime, Bill Chapman has actually been paying attention and the question is why did you deflect to Bill Brown when my ask was focussed on prying an answer out of you regarding why you think any witnesses would need to know what other possible witnesses saw or described what they saw.
And tell us why you so conveniently left out that in your non-reply:

There's also another indicator that the ambulance's arrival at the hospital at 1:18 doesn't do Brown any favor. When you trace the fastest route between 10th street and the hospital on North Beckley, on Google map, the estimated drive time is 7 minutes. Had the ambulance arrived at 1:18, it would mean that it must have picked up Tippit - at best - 7 minutes earlier, at 1:11.
The hospital was only a mile away. Seven minutes? Hardly.
Actually, it's about 1,5 miles
Check out google maps and find out for yourself.
I did check it out and I got 1.1 miles. Am I missing something?
Either way, you somehow believe it takes an ambulance, sirens blaring, seven minutes to go a mile and a half? (though I don't believe it's that far)
Please explain.
-
Sure they do, depending on traffic..... So, what is your point?
In the past, Bill Brown argued that a time stamp card from the funeral home at Jefferson showed that the call was received at 1:18.
Now he seems to go with 1:18 as the time Tippit arrived at the hospital, 1,5 miles away....
When you tell lies, your point loses validity.

What evidence do you have that the shells known as "the two Davis shells" were ever at the crime scene?
Both sisters each recovered one of Oswald's shells, but I suppose these are just more "women" liars, is there any "females" who gave evidence against Oswald that are believable or do you just hate women!
Jeanette found a empty shell [sic] that the man had unloaded and gave it to the police. After the Police had left I found a empty shell [sic] in our yard. This is the same shell I gave to Detective Dhority [sic]. The man that was unloading the gun was the same man I saw tonight as number 2 man in a line up.http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/vdavis.htm

On June 18, 1964, Special Agents Kenneth R. AIbert and Paul E. Wulff, Federal Bureau of Investigation, contacted Mrs. Troy (Barbara Jeanette) Davis at her residence, Kirk's Store, Route 2, Palestine Highway, Athens, Texas, at which time Special Agent Wulff exhibited to her four .38 Special cartridge cases, C47 - C50. Mrs. Davis stated on November 22, 1963, she resided at 400 East 10th Street, Dallas, Texas, and at approximately 2:00 PM or shortly thereafter she found a similar cartridge case in the front yard of her former residence. At the time she found the cartridge case, an unknown Dallas police officer was standing approximately five feet from her and she immediately gave the cartridge case to him. She cannot identify the cartridge case she found as being one of those exhibited to her.

Tippet shot at 1:06pm
shooter leaves scene by 1:07
Benevides waits "couple of minutes" after shooter has left scene= 1:09
Bowley arrives 1:10, operates radio just after Benevides got to car and was trying to use radio.
DPD dispatcher call about 1:10:30, calls ambulance
Ambulance takes about 1.5 minutes to arrive at 10th and Patton at 1:12
1 minute to load body into ambulance at 1:13
1.5 minute back to hospital= 1:14:30
30 sec to unload and rush body into emergency room =1:15pm
AT 1:15pm, Dr Ligouri pronounces Oswald Tippit dead
This time line seems to work rather well and it does not require any extra explanation like "1:15 was really just an estimate made by the doctor as to when he thought the death might have occured earlier", nor does it require suggesting that Bowley, and Markam were both mistaken about their times.
The only thing it does not work with is the DPD time stamp of the dispatch record of 1:16 for a call from 10th and Patton. But 1:10 could have easily been changed to 1:16 just like that 1:06 was typed over with 1:15pm

Ambulance takes about 1.5 minutes to arrive at 10th and Patton at 1:12
1 minute to load body into ambulance at 1:13
1.5 minute back to hospital= 1:14:30
30 sec to unload and rush body into emergency room =1:15pm
AT 1:15pm, Dr Ligouri pronounces Oswald DOA
This time line seems to work rather well and it does not require any extra explanation like "1:15 was really just an estimate made by the doctor as to when he thought the death might have occured earlier", nor does it require suggesting that Bowley, and Markam were both mistaken about their times.
The only thing it does not work with is the DPD time stamp of the dispatch record of 1:16 for a call from 10th and Patton. But 1:10 could have easily been changed to 1:16 just like that 1:06 was typed over with 1:15pm
AT 1:15pm, Dr Ligouri pronounces Oswald DOA.... :D
If Oswald was DOA at 1:15... was he resurrected so he could be in the Texas Theater at 1:50 ??

Wow that's some really neat speculation but the Elephant in the Room is that Oswald was positively identified and Oswald was arrested with the murder weapon and no amount of time manipulation can change those basics.
Mr. BELIN - What did you see then?
Mr. BENAVIDES - I then pulled on up and I seen this officer standing by the door. The door was open to the car, and I was pretty close to him, and I seen Oswald, or the man that shot him, standing on the other side of the car.
Mr. BELIN. Did you see anything else as you heard her screaming?
Mrs. V DAVIS. Well, we saw Oswald. We didn't know it was Oswald at the time. We saw that boy cut across the lawn emptying the shells out of the gun.
Mr. BALL. Did you recognize anyone in that room?
Mrs. B DAVIS. Yes, sir. I recognized number 2.
Mr. CALLAWAY. No. And he said, "We want to be sure, we want to try to wrap him up real tight on killing this officer. We think he is the same one that shot the President. But if we can wrap him up tight on killing this officer, we have got him." So they brought four men in.
I stepped to the back of the room, so I could kind of see him from the same distance which I had seen him before. And when he came out, I knew him.
Mr. BALL. You mean he looked like the same man?
Mr. CALLAWAY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Then what did you do?
Mr. GUINYARD. I was looking--trying to see and after I heard the third shot, then Oswald came through on Patton running---came right through the yard in front of the big white house---there's a big two-story white house---there's two of them there and he come through the one right on the corner of Patton.
Mr. LIEBELER. Let me show you some pictures that we have here. I show you a picture that has been marked Garner Exhibit No. 1 and ask you if that is the man that you saw going down the street on the 22d of November as you have already told us.
Mr.REYNOLDS. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Four? Did any one of the people look anything like strike that. Did you identify anyone in the lineup?
Mr. SCOGGINS. I identified the one we are talking about, Oswald. I identified him.
RUSSELL positively identified a photograph of LEE HARVEY OSWALD, New Orleans Police Department # 112723, taken August 9, 1963, as being identical with the individual he had observed at the scene of the shooting of Dallas Police Officer J.D. TIPPIT on the afternoon of November 22, 1963, at Dallas, Texas.
Mr. BALL. What about number two, what did you mean when you said number two?
Mrs. MARKHAM. Number two was the man I saw shoot the policeman.
Btw Weidmann presented evidence that the ambulance trip would taken a lot longer.

Actually, no I didn't. That's just one of your typical misrepresentations of the evidence. You just can't help yourself, can you now?
It's a telling sign when a die hard LN finds himself confronted with information he can not counter with credible arguments. They will try every trick in the book, ranging from outright dismissal to ridicule, from trying to change the subject to muddy the waters and pretending not to understand and so on.
There's just one thing they will never ever do; enter into an open and honest discussion about the information that has been presented.

Mr. BENAVIDES - I remember the back of his head seemed like his hairline was sort of--looked like his hairline sort of went square instead of tapered off. and he looked like he needed a haircut for about 2 weeks, but his hair didn't taper off, it kind of went down and squared off and made his head look fiat in back.
Lee Oswald's mug shot on 11 /22/63 shows that the back of his head DID NOT appear to be flat.... His hair was totally different than the man who shot Tippit.

Influenced by the media?.... Are you forgetting that Benavides had seen Lee Oswald lynched while in the custody of the DPD. He had told the DPD on 11/22/63 that he got a really good look at Tippit's killer and he's seen the pictures of Lee Oswald on TV that afternoon , and he didn't think that Lee Oswald was the man he'd seen with the smoking gun at the Tippit murder scene. Of course the cops didn't want to hear that so they didn't want him at any line up. Benavides was smart enough to chose his words carefully .... He had no desire to become an" accident" victim.....

First, explain to me why you're misquoting me. I've never said that the ambulance arrived at Methodist at 1:18. Why are you attributing that to me?
-
First, explain to me why you're misquoting me. I've never said that the ambulance arrived at Methodist at 1:18. Why are you attributing that to me?
Where did I say that? If I did, I must have made a mistake, because I don't recall you ever said that.
You said that a time stamp card of the funeral home shows that the call for an ambulance was received at 1:18 PM.
You were going to find that time stamp card but you never produced it so I guess you did not find it.
So, let's (again) try to go back to basics;
Can you come up with a plausible scenario for Markham still being at 10th/Patton at 1:14 or 1:15 when she testified she left home "a little after 1" and the one block walk from her home on 9th street to the corner of 10th street and Patton would have taken her only 2, perhaps 3 minutes. Markham estimated in her testimony that she took the 1.15 bus to work every day. And before you go there, yes I know that according to the bus schedule (which btw nobody has ever been able to show me) there was a bus at 1.12 and one at 1.22. It actually doesn't matter which bus Markham was talking about, because a walk of two blocks to the bus stop would have taken her no more than 6 minutes. So, if she left home "a little after 1" she would have easily been at the bus stop on Jefferson at around 1.15 and thus not at 10th/Patton. In other words, Tippit must have been shot earlier than 1.15, most likely around 1.06, because otherwise Markham could not have witnessed it.
The same thing goes for Bowley. He arrived after Tippit was killed. In his affidavit he said he picked up his daughter at R.L. Thornton School in Singing Hills at "about 12:55". School bells, in my experience, have a tendency to ring at the correct time every day! Now, let's also not forget that, after picking up his daughter, Bowley was also going to pick up his wife from work, to go on a family holiday and thus had every reason to be on time and be aware of the time! The drive from the school to 10th/Patton is about 7 miles long and takes roughly 13 minutes, depending on the route, making it absolutely possible and plausible for him to arrive at 10th street at 1.10 pm, like he said he did in his affidavit.
Bowley also said in his affidavit that he saw the ambulance arrive and pick up Tippit's body just after his radio call (which he made within a minute or so after arriving on the scene). Hospital records show that Tippit was declared DOA at 1:15 at Methodist Hospital, on North Beckley, about 1,5 miles from the scene of the crime. DPD officer Davenport says in his report that, while en route, he saw and followed the ambulance to the hospital where he witnessed Tippit being declared dead at 1:15.
Markham's and Bowley's timelines alone justify, IMO, the conclusion that Tippit was in fact shot before 1:10 pm, which makes it nearly impossible for Oswald to have been there. But perhaps you can provide a plausible scenario for these two timelines to be wrong...? I'll wait and see, but I won't hold my breath.
Care to explain how this evidence relates to the DPD dispatcher's time calls from clocks which, according to Bowles, could be two minutes ahead or behind "official time" (whatever that means) and recorded on voice actived devices?

Where did I say that? If I did, I must have made a mistake, because I don't recall you ever said that.
You've said it more than once over the past few days.
In the past, Bill Brown argued that a time stamp card from the funeral home at Jefferson showed that the call was received at 1:18.
Now he seems to go with 1:18 as the time Tippit arrived at the hospital, 1,5 miles away....
-
You've said it more than once over the past few days.
Ah, so it's you who is cherry picking and misrepresenting what I said;
I replied to a post by Zeon Mason;
I maybe mistaken, but I think I remember Bill Brown having a thread many years back, in which Bill suggested the 1:15pm time was the physicians ESTIMATE of the time of death made, and that the actual time of arrival of the ambulance to the hospital emergency room was 1:18pm based on some other record
my - complete - reply was;
I maybe mistaken, but I think I remember Bill Brown having a thread many years back, in which Bill suggested the 1:15pm time was the physicians ESTIMATE of the time of death made, and that the actual time of arrival of the ambulance to the hospital emergency room was 1:18pm based on some other record
I remember that Brown argued that the ambulance couldn't have been at the hospital at 1:15 because a time stamp card of the funeral home allegedly documented the departure of the ambulance from Jefferson as having taken place at 1:18. The problem with that argument is that nobody has ever been able to produce that time stamp card and the only reference to it being made (as far as I know) is a rather vague statement of a funeral home employee to the HSCA.
There's also another indicator that the ambulance's arrival at the hospital at 1:18 doesn't do Brown any favor. When you trace the fastest route between 10th street and the hospital on North Beckley, on Google map, the estimated drive time is 7 minutes. Had the ambulance arrived at 1:18, it would mean that it must have picked up Tippit - at best - 7 minutes earlier, at 1:11. Obviously, that's a far cry from the ambulance leaving the funeral home at 1:18. On the other hand, it is within a reasonable margin of error (of 3 minutes or so) in the Markham/Bowley/Ambulance/ Davenport scenario.
In any event; let's not forget that Markham saw Tippit being shot prior to the arrival of Bowley (at 1:10) and Bowley saw the ambulance pick up Tippit just after he made his radio call. Combined, this information means that Tippit must have been shot somewhere between 1:06 and 1:10.
You then replied to my post;
The hospital was only a mile away. Seven minutes? Hardly.
I then replied to a post by John Mytton about the speed of ambulances and sirens;
Sure they do, depending on traffic..... So, what is your point?
In the past, Bill Brown argued that a time stamp card from the funeral home at Jefferson showed that the call was received at 1:18.
Now he seems to go with 1:18 as the time Tippit arrived at the hospital, 1,5 miles away....
"Now he seems to go with 1:18 as the time Tippit arrived at the hospital" is a far cry from misquoting you..
I can not misquote you when you never said it. So why do you say I lie, when in fact I have argued that Zeon's recollection was wrong?
I see you are still playing word games rather than dealing with the content of posts. I seriously doubt that our renewed conversation will have a long life if that continues.

If someone can get away with killing a cop in front of eyewitnesses and while leaving the scene is seen fiddling with his weapon, and shells are seen dropped which are exclusively linked to the weapon he is arrested with and who leaves his jacket under a car and who enters a dark theatre without buying a ticket and who punches a cop and then tries to kill more cops, then I'd hate to think how much evidence would be needed?, would a live video even be enough evidence?
But I guess;
A dozen people simply picked Oswald to be sent to his death because they were all too stupid.
and the shells that the Davis women picked up proved they were also involved.
and Brewer was mistaken
and the ticket seller Postal was mistaken.
and the Police officers at the theater were also involved or mistaken or too stupid.
Btw the Police easily could have killed Oswald in the theater, Oswald was carrying a gun for goodness sake and in a relatively dark theater would be the perfect time to kill him but instead let him live to blab to the world. Some conspiracy.

But I guess;
A dozen people simply picked Oswald to be sent to his death because they were all too stupid.
and the shells that the Davis women picked up proved they were also involved.
and Brewer was mistaken
and the ticket seller Postal was mistaken.
and the Police officers at the theater were also involved or mistaken or too stupid.
Btw the Police easily could have killed Oswald in the theater, Oswald was carrying a gun for goodness sake and in a relatively dark theater would be the perfect time to kill him but instead let him live to blab to the world. Some conspiracy.

You really should leave pathetic strawman arguments to Richard Smith, John. He's far more experienced in it than you.

Influenced by the media?.... Are you forgetting that Benavides had seen Lee Oswald lynched while in the custody of the DPD. He had told the DPD on 11/22/63 that he got a really good look at Tippit's killer and he's seen the pictures of Lee Oswald on TV that afternoon , and he didn't think that Lee Oswald was the man he'd seen with the smoking gun at the Tippit murder scene.
No he didn’t. That’s a Walt fabrication. He just said that he couldn’t make a positive ID.

Judge Johnny Court Now in Session
Callaway: I heard shots and saw Oswald from 12-15 feet away, carrying a gun
Judge Johnny: Did you see him shoot anybody?
Callaway: No
Judge Johnny: Case dismissed. Mr. Oswald, you can go.
Is this your way of acknowledging that Callaway didn’t see a crime committed?
“12-15 feet away”. LOL.

Still not one serious attempt by an LNr to deal with the combined information below and provide even a weak argument to counter it.
Let's give it one more try;
Can anybody come up with a plausible scenario for Markham still being at 10th/Patton at 1:14 or 1:15 when she testified she left home "a little after 1" and the one block walk from her home on 9th street to the corner of 10th street and Patton would have taken her only 2, perhaps 3 minutes. Markham estimated in her testimony that she took the 1.15 bus to work every day. And before you go there, yes I know that according to the bus schedule (which btw nobody has ever been able to show me) there was a bus at 1.12 and one at 1.22. It actually doesn't matter which bus Markham was talking about, because a walk of two blocks to the bus stop would have taken her no more than 6 minutes. So, if she left home "a little after 1" she would have easily been at the bus stop on Jefferson at around 1.15 and thus not at 10th/Patton. But even if she left home later than she said, how would she be able to see Tippit being shot at 1:14 or 1:15 when she was catching her regular bus to work on Jefferson at that same time? In other words, Tippit must have been shot earlier than 1.15, most likely around 1.06, because otherwise Markham could not have witnessed it.
The same thing goes for Bowley. He arrived after Tippit was killed. In his affidavit he said he picked up his daughter at R.L. Thornton School in Singing Hills at "about 12:55". School bells, in my experience, have a tendency to ring at the correct time every day! Now, let's also not forget that, after picking up his daughter, Bowley was also going to pick up his wife from work, to go on a family holiday and thus had every reason to be on time and be aware of the time! The drive from the school to 10th/Patton is about 7 miles long and takes roughly 13 minutes, depending on the route, making it absolutely possible and plausible for him to arrive at 10th street at 1.10 pm, like he said he did in his affidavit.
If one argues that Markham saw Tippit being killed at 1:14 or 1:15 it inescapebly means that Bowley's arrival at 10th/Patton also needs to be pushed back to - at the earliest - 1:17 or 1:18. This in turn would not only mean that he left his daughter waiting for him at school for some time, which is a foolish notion by itself, but it also does not square with his alleged radio call at 1:16 or the arrival of the ambulance shortly after he made that radio call.
Bowley also said in his affidavit that he saw the ambulance arrive and pick up Tippit's body just after his radio call (which he made within a minute or so after arriving on the scene). Hospital records show that Tippit was declared DOA at 1:15 at Methodist Hospital, on North Beckley, about 1,5 miles from the scene of the crime. DPD officer Davenport says in his report that, while en route, he saw and followed the ambulance to the hospital where he witnessed Tippit being declared dead at 1:15.
Markham's and Bowley's timelines alone justify, IMO, the conclusion that Tippit was in fact shot before 1:10 pm, which makes it nearly impossible for Oswald to have been there. But perhaps somebody can provide a plausible scenario for these two timelines to be wrong...? I'll wait and see, but I won't hold my breath.
Also, does anybody care to explain how this evidence relates to the DPD dispatcher's time calls from clocks which, according to Bowles, could be two minutes ahead or behind "official time" (whatever that means) and recorded on voice actived devices?
I bet you, not one LN is going to be willing or able to honestly discuss this timeline.

WILLIAM ARTHUR SMITH, age 20, 328 1/2 East 8th Street, was interviewed at the residence or his brother-in-law, TIMMIE ANZALDUA, 1831 Idaho Street, Dallas. He advised that he observed Officer TIPPIT when he was being shot by an unknown white male but he did not report it to the police because he claimed he had been on two year's probation for auto theft and he thought he might get in trouble with the police. He said he was too far away from the individual to positively identify him but he said he was a white male, about 5' 7" to 5'8", 20 to 25 years of age, 150-160, wearing a white shirt, light brown jacket and dark pants.

The timeline....
TIPPIT SHOOTING, 1:15
Mary Wright stated that she heard the shots and called the police immediately after the shooting. (With Malice, 2013, pg. 136)
Barbara Davis heard the shots and stated that, from the door, she saw a man walking across her front yard unloading a gun. She then heard Helen Markham across the street yelling that a police officer was shot and killed. Davis looked over and saw the police car. Immediately after seeing the police car, she went inside and phoned the operator and reported the shooting to the police. (affidavit, 11/22/63)
L.J. Lewis was at the Johnny Reynolds Motor Company, located one block south of the shooting. He called the police immediately after hearing the gunshots to report a shooting. (affidavit, 8/26/64)
Murray Jackson, the police radio dispatcher, received an alert at 1:16 from the "citizen using the police radio". Upon being told by the citizen that a police man had been shot and that it was near Marsalis, Beckley and Tenth Street, Jackson immediately calls out for "78". After getting no response, he again calls out for "78". Jackson is calling out for "78" because that is Tippit's call number and he knows Tippit was driving car number 10. On 11/22/63, Tippit was "78". That he calls out for Tippit after receiving the alert from the "citizen using the police radio" tells us that at 1:16, Jackson was made aware, for the very first time, that Tippit had been shot.
Since we know that Mary Wright, Barbara Davis and L.J. Lewis called the police almost immediately... and we know that Murray Jackson (the dispatcher) was unaware of the shooting until 1:16, it becomes painfully obvious that Wright, Davis and Lewis phoned in the shooting at a point in time just before the "citizen using the police radio" alerted Jackson. If these three witnesses had phoned in the shooting much earlier, then Jackson would have been already made aware of the shooting by his superiors and told to put an all-points bulletin. No all-points bulletin was put out by dispatch until AFTER dispatch (Jackson) was alerted at 1:16.

It's not so much that I don't understand your argument. I also understand the counter argument and quite honestly I simply do not have enough information to make a well balanced, objective and factual determination either way. I try to only have opinions about things I know enough about. That's why I stayed clear of the conversation after asking the questions I wanted answers for.
Lee Oswald's prints have never been found on the carcano
The FBI did indeed not find any prints on the rifle on 11/23/63. They could not even find a trace of a print having been lifted from the rifle, which, in mind, calls into question the tale Day came up with.
But Henry Wades lie was instrumental in duping the dumb pissants (LBJ's name for us citizens) and leading them to believe that Lee was guilty of murdering JFK.
Actually, I'm not so sure about that. Wade's lie (that prints belonging to Oswald had been found on the rifle, when they weren't) is just one of many false and incorrect statements made by law enforcement officials in the first days. I don't think any particular falsehood or error would have been decisive in convicting Oswald in the court of public opinion.

And btw the singular "Oswald" doesn't really define Lee Harvey Oswald, the name Oswald applied to perhaps hundreds or even thousands of people across America.

Still not one serious attempt by an LNr to deal with the combined information below and provide even a weak argument to counter it.
Let's give it one more try;
Can anybody come up with a plausible scenario for Markham still being at 10th/Patton at 1:14 or 1:15 when she testified she left home "a little after 1" and the one block walk from her home on 9th street to the corner of 10th street and Patton would have taken her only 2, perhaps 3 minutes. Markham estimated in her testimony that she took the 1.15 bus to work every day. And before you go there, yes I know that according to the bus schedule (which btw nobody has ever been able to show me) there was a bus at 1.12 and one at 1.22. It actually doesn't matter which bus Markham was talking about, because a walk of two blocks to the bus stop would have taken her no more than 6 minutes. So, if she left home "a little after 1" she would have easily been at the bus stop on Jefferson at around 1.15 and thus not at 10th/Patton. But even if she left home later than she said, how would she be able to see Tippit being shot at 1:14 or 1:15 when she was catching her regular bus to work on Jefferson at that same time? In other words, Tippit must have been shot earlier than 1.15, most likely around 1.06, because otherwise Markham could not have witnessed it.
The same thing goes for Bowley. He arrived after Tippit was killed. In his affidavit he said he picked up his daughter at R.L. Thornton School in Singing Hills at "about 12:55". School bells, in my experience, have a tendency to ring at the correct time every day! Now, let's also not forget that, after picking up his daughter, Bowley was also going to pick up his wife from work, to go on a family holiday and thus had every reason to be on time and be aware of the time! The drive from the school to 10th/Patton is about 7 miles long and takes roughly 13 minutes, depending on the route, making it absolutely possible and plausible for him to arrive at 10th street at 1.10 pm, like he said he did in his affidavit.
If one argues that Markham saw Tippit being killed at 1:14 or 1:15 it inescapebly means that Bowley's arrival at 10th/Patton also needs to be pushed back to - at the earliest - 1:17 or 1:18. This in turn would not only mean that he left his daughter waiting for him at school for some time, which is a foolish notion by itself, but it also does not square with his alleged radio call at 1:16 or the arrival of the ambulance shortly after he made that radio call.
Bowley also said in his affidavit that he saw the ambulance arrive and pick up Tippit's body just after his radio call (which he made within a minute or so after arriving on the scene). Hospital records show that Tippit was declared DOA at 1:15 at Methodist Hospital, on North Beckley, about 1,5 miles from the scene of the crime. DPD officer Davenport says in his report that, while en route, he saw and followed the ambulance to the hospital where he witnessed Tippit being declared dead at 1:15.
Markham's and Bowley's timelines alone justify, IMO, the conclusion that Tippit was in fact shot before 1:10 pm, which makes it nearly impossible for Oswald to have been there. But perhaps somebody can provide a plausible scenario for these two timelines to be wrong...? I'll wait and see, but I won't hold my breath.
Also, does anybody care to explain how this evidence relates to the DPD dispatcher's time calls from clocks which, according to Bowles, could be two minutes ahead or behind "official time" (whatever that means) and recorded on voice actived devices?
I bet you, not one LN is going to be willing or able to honestly discuss this timeline.

You do not know the exact time that Oswald starts his journey.You do not know at what speed Oswald was travelling at. Therefore you cannot make any statements that in any way say Oswald couldn't be at the crime scene in the timeframe. Markham could be at her position at about 1-06 to catch the 1.12 bus. And Oswald could've been at the crime scene at 1-08 or slightly later. Numerous witnesses I'd Oswald as being at the scene. You can't say he wasn't there.You can only guess as you do not know how long it took Oswald to travel to the crime scene. And how can I discuss the timeline as you do not know at what speed Oswald was travelling at.
I say he did have time to get from his rooming house to get to the crime scene. And nobody can prove he didn't have time.

His Landlady (Mrs Roberts) at 1026 N. Beckley said that she saw Lee standing on the side walk in front of the rooming house at about 1:04. ( Mrs Roberts said that Lee arrived at 1:00 pm and the WC confirmed that time of arrival. Mrs Roberts said that lee was in his room several minutes and then departed. ( Time about 1:04) Mrs Markham said that she saw the man who shot Tippit walking east on 10th street a couple of minutes before she witnessed the man shoot Tippit at 1:06.
These are FACTS Mr Hardaker..... And here's another Fact....
The witnesses said that Tippit's killer walked away while unloading his revolver ONE SHELL AT A TIME....
The Smith and Wesson revolver is not unloaded ONE SHELL AT A TIME..... The S&W is unloaded by swinging thw cylinder out of the frame ans unloading all six chambers AT ONCE..... Tippits killer was NOT using a S&W revolver. The revolver that allegedly was taken from Lee at the Theater was a Smith & Wesson.....
Deal with reality Mr Hardaker.....

So, all you are really interested in is keeping Oswald inside the timeframe, regardless of facts or reason?
You do not know the exact time that Oswald starts his journey.You do not know at what speed Oswald was travelling at.
True, but I think I can safely say that it wasn't at super sonic speed or the speed of sound, just in case you ever want to go there.
Therefore you cannot make any statements that in any way say Oswald couldn't be at the crime scene in the timeframe.
Get your fact straight. I did not say that Oswald couldn't be there. I actually said; "which makes it nearly impossible for Oswald to have been there". There is a difference!
But I'll answer your misguided comment anyway, with some facts (you know what they are, right?). The actual distance between the two locations requires a certain minimal amount of walking time at a normal human walking pace. Gary Mack once did a trial (it's on Youtube), and concluded that the fastest route required a minimum of 11 minutes. So, if Tippit, as the combined timeline in my previous post suggests, was indeed killed before 1.10, Oswald would have had to have left the roominghouse at the latest, at around 12:58, which is - if Earlene Roberts is to be believed - impossible as she said Oswald walked in just before the 1 o'clock news came on the television. So, yeah, even if I didn't, I could indeed make that statement. You may not like it, but there it is, nevertheless!
Markham could be at her position at about 1-06 to catch the 1.12 bus.
Indeed, and that's exactly what my argument is, except she said she normally catched the bus at 1.15. But go from there and everything else in the timeline I provided falls into place. Once we agree that Tippit was most likely killed before 1:10 we can start discussing who could have been there at that time or not!
And Oswald could've been at the crime scene at 1-08 or slightly later.
With a minimal walking time of 11 minutes and not leaving the roominghouse until after the 1 o'clock news came on? No, he couldn't!
But that's just my opinion. Why don't you provide your argument that shows that Oswald could have been at 10th/Patton at 1.08 or slightly later? Can you do that?
Numerous witnesses I'd Oswald as being at the scene.
At an unfair biased line up and under massive police pressure and media exposure? Any law enforcement officer will tell you that witness testimony is the least reliable type of evidence. And very often witness testimony is proven wrong when it is established that a suspect could not have been at the crime scene at the time of the crime. The circular argument of "Oswald was there because Oswald was there" doesn't fly. It's not a logical fallacy for nothing!
None of the Tippit witnesses have ever been cross-examined under oath. Had they have been, they would IMO have been completely destroyed by a competent defense lawyer. Yet, you are so fair and balanced ;) that you take their words as gospel. Why is that?
Can't you stand the idea of possibly being wrong? Mark Twain once said; "It's easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled". Does that perhaps apply to you as well?
You can't say he wasn't there.
I didn't say he wasn't (although I do indeed believe it is likely that he wasn't). I said it's nearly impossible for him to be have been there if Tippit was indeed killed before 1:10.
You can only guess as you do not know how long it took Oswald to travel to the crime scene.
No guess work needed as (1) Gary Mack's time trial showed a minimum of 11 minutes required and (2) I walked the distance myself several times. No matter how much you argue, you will never convince me that Oswald could have walked the distance in under 11 minutes!
And how can I discuss the timeline as you do not know at what speed Oswald was travelling at.
The timeline I provided in my previous post has actually very little to do with Oswald. It has to do with the most likely time Tippit was actually killed, which you have not addressed at all. All you seem to be concerned with is getting Oswald at the scene on time to be there to do the deed. What's next; are you going to argue he flew there?
I say he did have time to get from his rooming house to get to the crime scene. And nobody can prove he didn't have time.
So, this is the the classic "I'm right unless you can prove me wrong" LN fallacy again, is it? If you are so sure Oswald did in fact have the time to get from the rooming house to the crime scene, why don't you just shut me up by providing a plausible argument to support your position?

Don't be silly.... I doubt that any of the witnesses who identified Lee Oswald as the killer were "lying" ..... Apparently there was a resemblance between the killer and Lee Oswald, so they could easily have been mistaken in there identification. But the one person who saw the killer face to face (Domingo Benavides) DID NOT Identify the man as Lee Oswald. As a matter of FACT..... Benavides DESCRIBED the killer's hair cut..... and Lee Oswald did NOT have his hair cut in the fashion described by Benavides. And what's more....virtually all of the witnesses at the scene described the killer as walking away and unloading his revolver ONE SHELL AT A TIME. A Smith & Wesson revolver is NOT unloaded in the fashion described by the witnesses.

That much alone is a good question because the shooter didn't just vanish. The cops were searching a library or church[?] where a suspect was reported entering but then they were called off for some reason. What ever happened to that guy? There were other observers not mentioned in the police reports who saw a shooter or at least a fleeing suspect. Their descriptions were either not helpful or not wanted.

Let's assume that Mrs Robert's was correct when she said that she saw Lee leaving the rooming house and he was donning a jacket as he left.
The next time that we see Lee Oswald ( positive ID) is when he is dragged from the theater....He has no jacket. But isn't it logical that he would remove his Jacket in the theater? It was reported that he moved from seat to seat prior to the start of the movie.... Could he simply have left his jacket in the seat next to his when he changed seats and forgot to take it with him when he changed seats?

Yes....Unless you can PROVE that Brewer saw Lee Oswald enter the theater....You're simply assuming.....
I'd accept your statement IF Brewer KNEW Lee Oswald...... So do you have any information that Brewer knew and recognized Lee Oswald??

Tell us why the shoe salesman would have to know the name of the funny-looking guy he saw in his store window--and followed to TT--at that point. Brewer himself testified that the guy was the one he saw at his store.

Yes.... And Helen Markham said that Lee was the man that she saw shoot Tippit, and she knew that because when she saw him in a line up with three other men who couldn't possibly pass for 23 years old, she felt cold chills run all over her.... Soooo ...How did Brewer KNOW that Lee Oswald was the man?....He'd been through the theater twice looking for the man and he had to have seen Lee Oswald ...but when he reported back to Julia Postal he told her after looking for the man " he just wasn't there"...

John,
Should Brewer have said, "I watched him walk into the recessed area in front of the theater where he disappeared from my view. When I got there a few seconds later, he wasn't there, so I assumed he'd gone inside"?
-- MWT ;)

Brewer didn't go immediately to the theater.....He went back inside his shoe store and told some associates that he was going to the theater and was going to lock the shoe store..... For all Brewer knew the man could have left the foyer of the theater and never actually entered the theater.... Recall that Butch Burroughs said that nobody came into the theater ......Burroughs was right there and he saw nobody enter....

When?? When?? I say WHEN....Did Brewer first identify Lee Oswald as the man that he said was window shopping at his Shoe store?
Brewer went through the theater( twice) searching for the man and he then told Julia Postal that man was not in the theater. ..... Brewer couldn't have missed seeing Lee Oswald when he searched the theater and yet he told Postal that the man who had ducked into the theater foyer was NOT in the theater.

Exactly. Although I don’t think he locked the shoe store. He left it in the good hands of his “IBM men” who hung out there.

Brewer didn’t even claim that he saw someone enter the theater.
True.... in 1996 Brewer told Ian Griggs that after the man who was window shopping at his shoe store left his foyer he ( Brewer) stepped out onto the sidewalk to see where the man was going. Brewer said that he saw the man enter the foyer of the theater and then he went back inside his store to lock up. A couple of minutes later he asked "Julie" if she had sold the man a ticket....and she replied"what man?" She had been distracted by the police cars and never even noticed a man in the foyer. And Furthermore Butch Burroughs said that nobody had entered the theater during the few minutes prior to Brewer bursting into the lobby acting like Dick Tracy....
-
Exactly. Although I don’t think he locked the shoe store. He left it in the good hands of his “IBM men” who hung out there.
Brewer told Ian Griggs that he returned to the shoe store and his IBM friends had locked up the store.... ( I don't believe it....He had been gone from the store for only a couple of minutes, and his pals locked up the store?? Did they have the keys to the store?? ) I've read somewhere that Brewer said that he returned to the store and put up a "closed" sign and locked the store......
-
Exactly. Although I don’t think he locked the shoe store. He left it in the good hands of his “IBM men” who hung out there.
One of the most incredible parts of Brewer's tale concerns the size of Lee Oswald.... Brewer described him as a "little guy" of about 5' 9" and 150 pounds ...And Brewer told ian Griggs that had known officer Nick Mc Donald for about six months, and Mc Donald "was no little Guy" ....( we all seen photos of Mc Donald so we know that he was at least 4 inches taller than Lee Oswald, and outweighed him by at least a hundred pounds ...And yet Brewer tells us that the scrawny little guy provoked a fight with the not so jolly giant, by punching at him when Mc Donald confronted Lee in the theater. Watta whopper!.... Brewer himself said that Lee was telling everybody in the theater that he was not resisting arrest.... If Lee had punched at McDonald that most certainly would have constituted "resisting arrest"... and Lee would probably been unconscious and unable to protest that he wasn't resisting arrest.... This bit a pugilism is nothing but a figment of Brewer's imagination.....

Walter,
Going from memory, here, but didn't Butch say he was kneeling down, attending to the inventory under the counter for a couple of minutes, and that he may have missed someone sneaking in so late?
-- MWT ;)
-
And Brewer told ian Griggs that had known officer Nick Mc Donald for about six months,
So it’s not at all surprising that Brewer would back up his buddy McDonald’s story. Quite possibly they discussed what happened in the theater in the intervening months.

Yes.... They have made a point to make it appear that Burroughs was busy behind the concession counter and didn't notice the man sneak by him... BULL STUFF!
The "scared man" of Brewer's account never entered the theater.... And as I recall Burroughs said that he sold Lee Oswald a bag of popcorn about the time the movie was starting...
-
So it’s not at all surprising that Brewer would back up his buddy McDonald’s story. Quite possibly they discussed what happened in the theater in the intervening months.
Yes indeed....Can you imagine the scrawny 131 pound Lee Oswald hitting the 250 pound police officer, Nick Mc Donald and knocking him back?
What utter nonsense.... But that's what Brewer said happened... But ....Keep in mind that Johnny Brewer also said that he had heard about the shooting of a police officer on the radio before 1:30pm.... So his words should be taken with at least a pinch of salt....

Mr. BREWER - Well, I saw this policeman approach Oswald, and Oswald stood up and I heard some hollering. I don't know exactly what he said, and this man hit Patrolman McDonald.
Mr. BELIN - You say this man hit Patrolman McDonald. Did you know it was Patrolman McDonald?
Mr. BREWER - I didn't know his name, but I had seen him quite a few times around Oak Cliff. But I didn't know his name.
Mr. BELIN - Then you later found out this was Patrolman McDonald?
Mr. BREWER - Yes.

Mr. Ball.
Do you have any idea what you were doing when he came in?
Mr. Burroughs.
Well, I was----I had a lot of stock candy to count and put in the candy case for the coming night, and if he had came around in front of the concession out there, I would have seen him, even though I was bent down, I would have seen him, but otherwise I think he sneaked up the stairs real fast.
-
Ian Griggs - So they grab you, put a gun on you and what did you do? You tell them what?
Johnny Brewer - Basically, that I'm on your side. The person that you're here for is out there. I knew Officer McDonald. I'd known him for several months.

If Oswald had "sneaked up the stairs real fast", he would have been in the balcony. Right?

He was looking to ID the guy he saw at the store.

Chap, Are you so naive that you actually believe this? Question.... IF you actually believe LHO had actually punched Mc Donald.... Perhaps you can think of a reason that Lee would have wanted to commit suicide by cop..... But I'd remind you that at the same time that Lee was allegedly punching a 250 pound police officer he was declaring that he was NOT RESISTING ARREST. Do you see any conflict here?

Burroughs didn't see the guy
Burroughs didn't see the guy
That's correct.... And the reason Burroughs didn't see the guy was because the "scared man" did not enter the theater.....Brewer saw him enter the theater foyer and then he went back to the shoe store....
But Burroughs said that he had sold Lee a bag of popcorn at about the time the movie started which would have been about 15 or 20 minutes before Brewer saw the scared man enter the foyer.
-
Yes.... They have made a point to make it appear that Burroughs was busy behind the concession counter and didn't notice the man sneak by him... BULL STUFF!

Mr. Brewer: I heard a noise outside, and I opened the door, and the alley, I guess it was filled with police cars and policemen were on the fire exits and stacked around the alley, and they grabbed me, a couple of them and held and searched me..
Where did they 'put a gun' on Brewer..
I'll go with what Brewer said under oath 3-4 months after the fact rather than decades later

Timeline
======
1:16 PM: LHO shoots Officer J.D. Tippit and continues fleeing.
1:22 PM: Police broadcast a description of the suspect in the Tippit murder.
1:40 PM: LHO enters the Texas Theater.
1:50 PM: After a struggle with police, LHO is captured.
Not only did the DPD solve the case in 1.25 hrs, but they apprehended LHO only 34 mins after he shot Tippit. But the most impressive feat was how LHO shoots Tippit, flees the scene and suddenly a cop shows up, checks on Tippit to confirm that he is dead, interviews a witness for the suspect's description, gets on the horn and broadcasts the description to the rest of the force...wait for it...all in 6 minutes!!!
Damn, those DPD must have been supercops!

1st off.... Tippit was shot at 1:06....NOT 1:16.....
2nd.... The description of Tippit's killer did NOT fit Lee Oswald well enough to select him from about 1000 other young men in Dallas....
3rd....Lee DID NOT enter the theater at about 1:40..... He was already in the theater when the movie started..... Burroughs sold him a bag of popcorn when the movie was just starting (about 1:15 )

"My fondest dreams are shattered because of a petty official; because of bad planning. I planned too much! 7.00 P.M. I decide to end it. Soak wrist in cold water to numb the pain. Then slash my left wrist. Then plug wrist into bathtub of hot water. I think "when Rima comes at 8 to find me dead, it will be a great shock." Somewhere, a violin plays, as I watch my life whirl away. I think to myself, "how easy to die" and a sweet death, (to violins)."

Using this timeline.....If Lee Oswald had been the man who murdered JD Tippit..... It took him 12 minutes to travel more than a mile from the rooming house past the Tippit murder site and double back and then shoot Tippit after talking through the car window for a couple of minutes. ( A period of time when he would have had no reason to be dashing down the streets)
But AFTER the shooting ( a period when he would want to put as much distance between himself and the murder site as possible ) It took him 24 minutes to travel less than half the distance that had taken him 12 minutes to travel......
I think you need to rethink the scenario.....

False premise and very silly. You have no idea what Oswald was doing between the time he shot Tippit and entered the TT or what route he took to get there. Maybe he ducked into a someplace and hid for a few minutes. Who knows? Certainly not you.
Again, what is the point of this endless nitpicking? Witnesses put Oswald at his boarding house, the Tippit scene, and the Texas Theatre. There is no doubt that he was at each of these places which is conclusive that he had sufficient time to reach them.

Coercing witnesses with unfair and biased lineups is not the same thing as "no doubt".

From Dale Myers:
A third eyewitness, Mrs. Donald R. Higgins, also claimed – albeit belatedly – that the Tippit shooting occurred earlier than thought by officials.
In 1963, Donald and Margie Higgins managed several rented apartments in a home at 417 E. Tenth – 150 feet east of and across the street from the shooting scene.
In 1968, five years after the shooting, Mrs. Higgins told an independent researcher that she was watching television when she heard shots. She jumped up, ran to the front door, and saw a police officer lying in the street and a man with a pistol running away from her toward Patton Street.
Asked how she could be so certain of the time, Mrs. Higgins said, “Well, I was watching the news on television and for some reason the announcer turned and looked at the clock and said the time was ‘six minutes after one.’ He said it just like that, ‘six minutes after one.’ And you know how you always do, you hear the time and you automatically check your own watch. So, I just looked up at the clock on my television to verify the time and it said 1:06. At that point I heard the shots.”
When Margie Higgins first told this story, there was no easy way to check her claim against archival video tapes of the three networks that were broadcasting that day. Remember, this was long before the days of cable television and streaming video services, with hundreds of channels available. In 1963, you had three choices, and fortunately all three were recording what they were broadcasting for posterity.
Myers: I checked those archival tapes in 2013 and the results don’t favor Mrs. Higgins. As it turns out, none of the three networks broadcasting that afternoon in Dallas gave a time check at 1:06 p.m. as she claimed:
• Jay Watson, program director at the local ABC affiliate, WFAA-TV, did look off camera (presumably at a clock) and make a similar statement at 1:03 p.m.
• Two networks – ABC and CBS – gave a time check at about 1:15 p.m. (the official time of the Tippit shooting), although the phrasing they used was different from Mrs. Higgins’ recollection.

It's possible that she was actually listening to the radio and just recalled incorrectly that it was the television. It's also possible that she remembered the time-check time incorrectly though. But Higgins, Markham, Bowley, and Methodist Hospital all corroborate an earlier time.

Bowley is most convincing in my opinion. He was picking up his wife from work and then going on vacation. Plenty of reason to pay attention to the time.

Stop calling it my BS timeline you fool. In my original post I was citing the LNers timeline and testing its implications. I never claimed it was correct, I was attempting to debunk it. Comprende?
I just wanted you to modify the times relative to the events I described so we can all be on the same page. Instead you replaced them with your own 8 minute timeline, which you still haven't cited your source(s) for. The most important thing anyone can do here is to establish a timeline by forming a consensus re the time of events from the moment the 1st bullet struck JFK (12:33PM) to LHO's arrest in the theater (1:30PM?). Once we agree on that, then you can call BS all you like....without being obstinate, if possible.

Umm, maybe she heard radio. The 1:06 is pretty precise. Not 1:05. Not 1:07.
So... if she was listening to the radio, how did she recall that:
“for some reason the announcer turned and looked at the clock”

Stop calling it my BS timeline you fool. In my original post I was citing the LNers timeline and testing its implications. I never claimed it was correct, I was attempting to debunk it. Comprende?
I just wanted you to modify the times relative to the events I described so we can all be on the same page. Instead you replaced them with your own 8 minute timeline, which you still haven't cited your source(s) for. The most important thing anyone can do here is to establish a timeline by forming a consensus re the time of events from the moment the 1st bullet struck JFK (12:33PM) to LHO's arrest in the theater (1:30PM?). Once we agree on that, then you can call BS all you like....without being obstinate, if possible.
Nevermind. I lost my appetite.
I would NEVER endorse the very first entry....1:06 PM: LHO shoots officer JD Tippit .... Lee DID NOT shoot Officer Tippit.....

You were NOT THERE...so you do not know who did or didn't shoot Officer Tippit.

Lee was seen by his landlady, Mrs Roberts, STANDING ON THE SIDEWALK in front of the roominghouse at 1:04 PM..... Mrs Markham swore that she saw oficer Tippit shot at 1:06.....
Now all you have to do is show me how Lee could have traveled from the rooming house to the murder scene that was over a mile away in less than two minutes.....

Here's my timeline: Oswald leaves rooming house shortly after 1.00pm
Mrs.Markham sees Oswald shoot officer Tippit at approx 1.09PM...(she doesn't know exact time) positively identified by Markham and 4 other witnesses.
Oswald flees the scene...spotted and identified by several witnesses
TF Bowley arrives at approx 1.10/1.11...assesses situation as best he could and then uses Officer Tippit radio to call in.
The big problem with this scenario appears to be the time it takes to get from the rooming house to the scene of the Tippit murder. Another problem is nobody involved in this episode seems to be clear on the timing. But the fact remains that Oswald was identified as the gunman. Some of the I'd's are a bit sketchy but others are much more believable.

Well you have to show me proof that Mrs.Roberts was exact with her timing and also how Mrs.Markham was exact with her timing and also show corroboration of both claims.

Mrs Roberts said that Lee arrived at 1:00PM ( this time was confirmed by the WC.) She said that Lee was in his room for a few minutes and then left...She last saw him standing on the sidewalk in front of the rooming house ..... A few minutes .... 3 or 4 minutes is entirely reasonable because he changed his clothes.....

Some people act like an identification in a biased, unfair lineup is some unassailable truth.
Why do you think Henry Wade had at least 19 of his convictions overturned?

Indeed. Gary Mack did a time trial once and found that it would take a minimum of 11 minutes to walk the fastest route. So, even if Markham saw Tippit being killed at 1:09, it would mean that Oswald must have been there at least two minutes earlier, as he was seen walking, being stopped by Tippit and talking to him through the passenger window prior to the shooting. If we accept that Earlene Roberts said that Oswald walked into the roominghouse as she was switching the television on to watch the 1 o'clock news and if we assume that he left again two minutes later, we end up with a timeframe of 1:02 to 1:07 for Oswald to walk the distance between the roominghouse and 10th/Patton, which is a physical impossibility.
Another problem is nobody involved in this episode seems to be clear on the timing.
That's not completely true. Earlene Roberts saw Oswald walk in just prior to the 1:00 news. Markham said she left home just after 1 pm, to catch her regular bus, and it could have been 1:06 or 1:07 when she got to the location of the shooting. Bowley said he arrived at 1:10, at which time Tippit had already been shot. The combined evidence of Markham and Bowley, as well as Tippit being declared DOA at Methodist Hospital at 1:15, witnessed and confirmed by Detective Davenport, gives a fair and good indication of the actual time line. The mere fact that other witnesses made assumptions about the time doesn't alter that fact.
You may not realize it but you actually provided confirmation of the timing in your own post.
Bowley arrived after Tippit had been shot. He looked at his watch and it said 1:10. By the time he got there Benavides was already trying to get the police radio to work and the killer had left the scene. We know from Benavides that he did not get out of his truck until the killer had disappeared behind the house on the corner of 10th and Patton. So, working backwards from Bowley's arrival time, Tippit must have been shot at least two minutes earlier, which computes exactly with what Markham said in her testimony.
But the fact remains that Oswald was identified as the gunman. Some of the I'd's are a bit sketchy but others are much more believable.
Witnesses can be wrong and often are. In fact, witness testimony is the least reliable kind of evidence. Witnesses can be manipulated or unduly influenced. A police investigation is - or should be - all about the elimination of suspects and if it can be established that a particular individual couldn't have been at the crime scene at the time of the murder, that person is eliminated as a suspect.
The argument that even if he didn't have the time to get there, Oswald was there anyway because witnesses said so is simply not sound.
Btw, on November 3rd I replied to your post and since you seem to have ignored that, here is my post again;
You do not know the exact time that Oswald starts his journey.You do not know at what speed Oswald was travelling at. Therefore you cannot make any statements that in any way say Oswald couldn't be at the crime scene in the timeframe. Markham could be at her position at about 1-06 to catch the 1.12 bus. And Oswald could've been at the crime scene at 1-08 or slightly later. Numerous witnesses I'd Oswald as being at the scene. You can't say he wasn't there. You can only guess as you do not know how long it took Oswald to travel to the crime scene. And how can I discuss the timeline as you do not know at what speed Oswald was travelling at.
I say he did have time to get from his rooming house to get to the crime scene. And nobody can prove he didn't have time.
So, all you are really interested in is keeping Oswald inside the timeframe, regardless of facts or reason?
You do not know the exact time that Oswald starts his journey.You do not know at what speed Oswald was travelling at.
True, but I think I can safely say that it wasn't at super sonic speed or the speed of sound, just in case you ever want to go there.
Therefore you cannot make any statements that in any way say Oswald couldn't be at the crime scene in the timeframe.
Get your fact straight. I did not say that Oswald couldn't be there. I actually said; "which makes it nearly impossible for Oswald to have been there". There is a difference!
But I'll answer your misguided comment anyway, with some facts (you know what they are, right?). The actual distance between the two locations requires a certain minimal amount of walking time at a normal human walking pace. Gary Mack once did a trial (it's on Youtube), and concluded that the fastest route required a minimum of 11 minutes. So, if Tippit, as the combined timeline in my previous post suggests, was indeed killed before 1.10, Oswald would have had to have left the roominghouse at the latest, at around 12:58, which is - if Earlene Roberts is to be believed - impossible as she said Oswald walked in just before the 1 o'clock news came on the television. So, yeah, even if I didn't, I could indeed make that statement. You may not like it, but there it is, nevertheless!
Markham could be at her position at about 1-06 to catch the 1.12 bus.
Indeed, and that's exactly what my argument is, except she said she normally catched the bus at 1.15. But go from there and everything else in the timeline I provided falls into place. Once we agree that Tippit was most likely killed before 1:10 we can start discussing who could have been there at that time or not!
And Oswald could've been at the crime scene at 1-08 or slightly later.
With a minimal walking time of 11 minutes and not leaving the roominghouse until after the 1 o'clock news came on? No, he couldn't!
But that's just my opinion. Why don't you provide your argument that shows that Oswald could have been at 10th/Patton at 1.08 or slightly later? Can you do that?
Numerous witnesses I'd Oswald as being at the scene.
At an unfair biased line up and under massive police pressure and media exposure? Any law enforcement officer will tell you that witness testimony is the least reliable type of evidence. And very often witness testimony is proven wrong when it is established that a suspect could not have been at the crime scene at the time of the crime. The circular argument of "Oswald was there because Oswald was there" doesn't fly. It's not a logical fallacy for nothing!
None of the Tippit witnesses have ever been cross-examined under oath. Had they have been, they would IMO have been completely destroyed by a competent defense lawyer. Yet, you are so fair and balanced ;) that you take their words as gospel. Why is that?
Can't you stand the idea of possibly being wrong? Mark Twain once said; "It's easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled". Does that perhaps apply to you as well?
You can't say he wasn't there.
I didn't say he wasn't (although I do indeed believe it is likely that he wasn't). I said it's nearly impossible for him to be have been there if Tippit was indeed killed before 1:10.
You can only guess as you do not know how long it took Oswald to travel to the crime scene.
No guess work needed as (1) Gary Mack's time trial showed a minimum of 11 minutes required and (2) I walked the distance myself several times. No matter how much you argue, you will never convince me that Oswald could have walked the distance in under 11 minutes!
And how can I discuss the timeline as you do not know at what speed Oswald was travelling at.
The timeline I provided in my previous post has actually very little to do with Oswald. It has to do with the most likely time Tippit was actually killed, which you have not addressed at all. All you seem to be concerned with is getting Oswald at the scene on time to be there to do the deed. What's next; are you going to argue he flew there?
I say he did have time to get from his rooming house to get to the crime scene. And nobody can prove he didn't have time.
So, this is the the classic "I'm right unless you can prove me wrong" LN fallacy again, is it? If you are so sure Oswald did in fact have the time to get from the rooming house to the crime scene, why don't you just shut me up by providing a plausible argument to support your position?

I think it's important to point out that there is more time elapsed than the mere time it takes to walk from the rooming house to the murder scene. Mrs Markham said that the man who shot Tippit was walking EAST on 10th and was WEST of the intersection of 10th & Patton, and the murder scene when she first saw Tippit tailing the man.....THEN she said that the man talked to Tippit through the patrol car window for a couple of minutes prior to Tippit getting out of the car......

The point was intended for Mr Hardaker ..... and anybody else who doesn't realize that there would have been more time involved than the mere time of walking from the roominghouse to the murder scene...... If it takes 11 minutes ( I walked it in 12 minutes) to cover the distance, then additional time needs to be added to allow the walk PAST the intersection , and then double back, and then the conversation through the car window.....

Agreed Thumb1:
The official time line has Tippit being killed at 1.14 or 1.15, but even that would be a very tight squeeze indeed when one figures in the additional time that passed prior to the shooting.
Obviously, Bowley wasn't ignored by WC for nothing!

No one can say that Oswald didn't combine walking, sprinting, jogging, or trotting
Bottom line is that Oswald was Johnny-on-the-spot

There is no reason for claiming that. If you claim Oswald was there, you need to show he could have gotten there on time to kill Tippit, prior to 1.10. Well can you?

Indeed. Gary Mack did a time trial once and found that it would take a minimum of 11 minutes to walk the fastest route.
It was manipulated. The Mack test looked like some guy who was walking to the store to get some beer...not a guy on the run. Macks test guy was not walking any 4+ miles an hour!
At a pace of 3 miles an hour which is a pretty 'brisk' pace...do the math--- It would take 20 minutes to walk a mile. The very shortest route from the sidewalk by the rooming house to the Tippit scene is at least .85 miles .85X 20=17 minutes. I took that route and it took me 18 minutes...jay-walking the cross streets... After resting on the way back...it took 16 minutes. Why the difference? I didn't know for a long time but the journey south is ever so slightly uphill away from the Trinity River direction.
Now of course this was back some time ago but I did a lot of walking in my day. I am a retired land surveyor.

I am not sure what the point is you are trying to make, Jerry.
Manipulated or not, even the 11 minutes in Gary Mack's time trial wouldn't have been enough to get him to 10th/Patton on time to shoot Tippit. Even if you accept the official narrative's time of the shooting of 1.14, that still would require the killer to be at the scene no later than 1.11, as prior to the shooting he was seen walking up and down the street, being stopped by Tippit and talking to him through the passenger door window.
In other words, even if Oswald could have walked the distance in 11 minutes, he would have needed to leave the rooming house at 1.00 pm, but that's when Earlene Roberts said he came in.
Anybody who does the math, will find it simply does not add up.
-

Lee Harvey Oswald was no avid walker. Not at all athletic. I have not seen any report that he ever was.
Only the maniac on the run story ::)
There are all kinds of documentation however, that he was a sedentary....reading/watching TV etc.

Exactly, and even then the CT's cherry pick only the time eyewitnesses who support their Kooky conspiracy.
Earlene Roberts was half blind who apparently couldn't see squat but her "about 1PM" becomes exactly 1PM and even though she was distracted by the TV her "not longer than 3-4 minutes" guess becomes exactly 4 minutes.
Markham the "screwball" could remember a clock face but couldn't remember a human face.
Bowley's watch was never calibrated.
And this is constantly ignored, D.O.A. ffs means the time of death happened before the ambulance arrives.
At the end of the day the Police Radio transcripts present an easily verified timeline with a reasonable minor margin of error and this is the most accurate method for time estimation.

No kidding Einstein, we're discussing an era when the way to set your watch was from other inaccurate sources so clearly from all this vague information there is no way to get the exact minute and second of Tippit's murder.
But we do have a ton of eyewitnesses who positively Identified Oswald in the bright outdoors, walking away from the Tippit murder scene with a revolver.
A revolver was sent to Oswald's PO Box and the same revolver was with Oswald at the theater.
The shells dropped at the scene were a precise match to Oswald's revolver.
Joseph Nicol provided photographic evidence that one bullet in Tippit was found to be an exclusive match to Oswald's revolver.
Oswald's jacket was recovered in a car park that Oswald was seen entering.
Oswald was arrested without his jacket.
Oswald resisted arrest and pulled out his revolver to kill more cops.
Case Closed!

No “Mytton”. DOA means dead on arrival at the hospital.
Well John, the following document is quite clear, Tippit arrived DOA at the hospital therefore the time of death which by definition must have happened before Tippit arrives at the hospital, was 1:15 P.M. Sorry, you lose!

What you or I want is irrelevant, the fact is that the Dallas Police radio was based on a clock that was calibrated because time was the basic backbone of the job and having as accurate time as possible was paramount.
Btw an important part of your Tippit timeline relies on a "screwball", how does that work?

Lee Harvey Oswald was no avid walker. Not at all athletic. I have not seen any report that he ever was.
Only the maniac on the run story ::)
There are all kinds of documentation however, that he was a sedentary....reading/watching TV etc.
https://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh25/pdf/WH25_CE_2650.pdf
Oswald was a lean mean ex Marine who was a trained killing machine and suggesting that this skinny athletic looking young man who never even owned a car was a physical slacker defies all belief? And don't forget 8 hours a day Oswald was carting books all over a 6 story building, you try it.

All over a six-story...??? More time in other parts of the building so busy less energy complete exhaustion but you dream he was the Roger Bannister of Oakcliff. Never breaks a sweat at work or when arrested why? Because there was no race just LNers who like to increase the pace of Lee to make it fit a story which btw is still an impossible story. Not that you were any smarter when you were 4 yrs old but you probably had a better imagination. Lazy lazy

Exactly, and even then the CT's cherry pick only the time eyewitnesses who support their Kooky conspiracy.
Earlene Roberts was half blind who apparently couldn't see squat but her "about 1PM" becomes exactly 1PM and even though she was distracted by the TV her "not longer than 3-4 minutes" guess becomes exactly 4 minutes.
Markham the "screwball" could remember a clock face but couldn't remember a human face.
Bowley's watch was never calibrated.
And this is constantly ignored, D.O.A. ffs means the time of death happened before the ambulance arrives.
At the end of the day the Police Radio transcripts present an easily verified timeline with a reasonable minor margin of error and this is the most accurate method for time estimation.
We all know how important time is when we are on our lunch breaks and Scoggins who was having his lunch said about 1:20 PM.

More propaganda BS from the spin master.
Exaggeration and misrepresentation doesn't help your argument. After so many years of peddling your usual crap, you really should have understood that by now.
Earlene Roberts was half blind who apparently couldn't see squat but her "about 1PM" becomes exactly 1PM and even though she was distracted by the TV her "not longer than 3-4 minutes" guess becomes exactly 4 minutes.
Roberts was trying to get the TV to work because she wanted to watch the 1.00 pm news. That made her acutely aware of the time.
Markham the "screwball" could remember a clock face but couldn't remember a human face.
You mean the "screwball" who became the WC's star witness?
Markham knew exactly when to leave her home to catch her regular bus. That made her acutely aware of the time.
Bowley's watch was never calibrated.
It didn't have to be. If his clock was late by five minutes, as the LN fools suggest, he would have been 5 minutes late to pick up his daughter from school. He wasn't!
And this is constantly ignored, D.O.A. ffs means the time of death happened before the ambulance arrives.
Total BS. DPD detective Davenport (who was there) disagrees with you. He said Tippit was declared DOA at 1.15 at the hospital.
At the end of the day the Police Radio transcripts present an easily verified timeline with a reasonable minor margin of error and this is the most accurate method for time estimation.
An easily verified timeline LOL
So, under no circumstance could you put any stock in the real world time references by the belt or any continuity on time references because there were no time references on the belt; they were only spoken times, and those spoken times had no faithful validity... - James C. Bowles, Communications Supervisor of the Dallas Police Department.

We all know how important time is when we are on our lunch breaks and Scoggins who was having his lunch said about 1:20 PM.
Just how often will you keep repeating this already debunked piece of BS
Scoggins actually wasn't aware of the time at all. Anybody who reads his testimony will find that he got his time wrong. In his testimony he said he picked up a gentleman at Love Field at approx 12:35 and he discharged him at 321 North Ewing at 1:00.
Mr. SCOGGINS. Well, I picked up a gentleman at Love Field at approximately 12:35, I would say, and I discharged him at 1 o'clock at 321 North Ewing.
However, that trip is only 9,9 miles long and, depending on how one drives, doesn't take anymore than 16 to max. 20 minutes. In other words, he got to North Ewing at 12:55 or even earlier. He then goes on to say that he went to the Gentlemen's Club he believed to be at 125 Patton, which is only a 2 to 3 minutes drive. I know, Johnny doesn't like this kind of deductive reasoning, but for those without a bias, it's obvious that Scoggins really must have arrived at the Club just before 1:00 PM.
Then it gets really dodgy for John, because Scoggins himself can't even say for sure just how long he was at the club before returning to his car making his estimate of no value whatsoever....
But then, it's really the only thing Johnny has to hold on, so he goes with Scoggins estimate at 1:20 being "near perfect" when it really isn't. In fact it's actually some five minutes after the WC bible tells him Tippit was shot.
Btw it is hilarious that you complain about time estimates by witnesses, only to rely on an estimate by Scoggins.

No kidding Einstein, we're discussing an era when the way to set your watch was from other inaccurate sources so clearly from all this vague information there is no way to get the exact minute and second of Tippit's murder.
But we do have a ton of eyewitnesses who positively Identified Oswald in the bright outdoors, walking away from the Tippit murder scene with a revolver.
A revolver was sent to Oswald's PO Box and the same revolver was with Oswald at the theater.
The shells dropped at the scene were a precise match to Oswald's revolver.
Joseph Nicol provided photographic evidence that one bullet in Tippit was found to be an exclusive match to Oswald's revolver.
Oswald's jacket was recovered in a car park that Oswald was seen entering.
Oswald was arrested without his jacket.
Oswald resisted arrest and pulled out his revolver to kill more cops.
Case Closed!

More BS... radio and television news casts happened at specific times, making it an easy way to set one's watch.
the way to set your watch was from other inaccurate sources
That would include the two clocks used by the DPD dispatchers. According to Bowles, the only more or less reliable clock in the room was behind them and even that had a error margin of 2 minutes either way.

Before you start telling lies, you might want to make sure you are up to date with the known facts....
Two quotes from the same page: http://www.jfk-online.com/bowles1.html#set
A master clock on the telephone room wall was connected to the City Hall system. This clock reported "official" time. Within the dispatcher's office there were numerous other time giving and time recording devices, both in the telephone room and in the radio room. Telephone operators and radio operators were furnished "Simplex" clocks. Because the hands often worked loose, they indicated the incorrect time. However, their purpose was to stamp the time, day and date on incoming calls. While they were reliable at this, they were not synchronized as stated in the Committee report. Therefore, it was not uncommon for the time stamped on calls to be a minute to two ahead or behind the "official" time shown on the master clock. Accordingly, at "exactly" 10:10, various clocks could be stamping from 10:08 to 10:12, for example. When clocks were as much as a minute or so out of synchronization it was normal procedure to make the needed adjustments. During busy periods this was not readily done.
There is no way to connect "police time" with "real time." The Committee Report stated that the Dallas Police Communications system was recorded by continuously operating recorders. That statement is incorrect. Channel 1 was recorded on a Dictaphone A2TC, Model 5, belt or loop recorder. Channel 2 was recorded on a Gray "Audograph" flat disk recorder. Both were duplex units with one recording and one on standby for when the other unit contained a full recording. Both units were sound activated. It is important to note "sound" rather than "voice" because either sound or noise from any source, received through the transmission line, would activate the recorders. Once activated, the recorders remained "on" for the duration of the activating sound plus 4 seconds. The four second delay permitted brief pauses or answers to questions without the relay mechanism being overworked. On occasion, the recorders would operate almost continuously because rapid radio traffic kept them operating. On November 22, 1963, the Channel 1 recorders became, for practical purposes, continuous recorders for just over five minutes starting at approximately 12:29 pm (Channel 1 time) because the microphone on a police motorcycle stuck in the "on" position. The resulting continuous transmission kept the Channel 1 recorders operating for just over five minutes thus giving us a real-time recording for that period. The only problem was determining a basis for an accurate time reference during that period.
Spoken time stamps that could be two minutes ahead or behind the "official" time (whatever that is), recorded on voice activated devices do not provide a solid basis for preparing accurate transcripts.

Despite presenting proof I am confident he had read, David Von Pein ignored my discovery Virginia Davis lied about her age to DPD in November, 1963 (she claimed she was age 16 while birth records show she was not age 16 until June, 1964) and in her WC testimony in April of the following year.:
(Sister-in-law Barbara admittedly witnessed much less than Virginia.)
http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/24856-the-tippit-case-in-the-new-millenium/page/3/
Posted May 3, 2018 (edited)
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
The best witnesses to prove Oswald's guilt in the Tippit murder are, IMO, the two Davis girls, who each IDed Oswald later that day [11/22/63] in a lineup. And they each saw LHO dumping shells out of a REVOLVER. (Ergo, the killer was not armed with an "automatic", which would be foolish in this case anyway, since--per CTers--they were trying to "frame" good ol' Lee Harvey for this 2nd murder too; so why would they frame him with an automatic when the patsy didn't own such a weapon?)
Barbara Davis Affidavit
Virginia Davis Affidavit
There is no safe hiding place for the conspiracy theorists in the Tippit case. Oswald left his calling card at the scene, and was positively identified by multiple witnesses (either doing the shooting or fleeing the area immediately afterward).
No amount of conspiracy spin will exonerate Lee Oswald for J.D. Tippit's slaying....
On the same page as David's 2018 assertion, Karl Kinaski posted.:
What we know for sure is the time Tippit was shot. It was 1:06 pm. Quote from a CTKA review of Barry Earnest book THE GIRL ON THE STAIRS:
"Barry then visited the scene of policeman J. D. Tippit's shooting. Here, he meets a witness that no agent of government had talked to, a Mrs. Higgins who lived nearby. She offered him some very important information. She had heard the shots and ran out her front door to see Tippit lying in the street. Barry asked her what time it was. She said it was 1:06. He asked her how she recalled that specific time. She said because she was watching TV and the announcer said it. So she automatically checked her clock when he said it and he was right." (Pronto after that announcement she heard the shots which killed Tippit)
Donald Reed Higgin's death certificate of October 25, 1969, indicates the couple still resided at 417 East Tenth, (1963 Dallas city directory displays "417 East Tenth, Apt. C").
(http://jfkforum.com/images/TippitwitnessHiggins1963.jpg)
Ten years later, the widowed Mrs. Higgins:
(http://jfkforum.com/images/TippitwitnessHiggins1973.jpg)
The reporting person on the Higgins death certificate was "Mrs. D.R. Higgins". I found her grave (died about 1993) (Willa Mae, since remarried) in Oklahoma, and husband Donald's grave is here.:
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/12058614/donald-reed-higgins
I doubt there will be any interest, but widow Willa Mae Higgins remarried after husband Donald's death in 1969 and my data
on Willa Mae's remarried last name and her grave location in Oklahoma is on a hard drive of an old computer. If I receive a request, I will put more time into finding those details. I also recall locating her obituary.

Barry, after reading this post yesterday, your interview of the Higgins couple at 417 E. 10th St.,
http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=8366&st=75#entry256022
.....I wondered when you interviewed them, what their background was and what became of them.
Your interview impresses any reader with the weight of the knowledge Mrs. Higgins had hanging over her.
If she is to believed, it was impossible for Oswald to have arrived at the murder scene in time to shoot
officer Tippit at 1:06 pm.
After her husband, Donald Reed Higgins died at age 59, in October, 1969, Mrs. D.R. Higgins did what anyone
in her position would be likely to do. She buried her husband in another state, and disappeared. She does not
occupy the grave next to her husband's, and I find no trace of her. I am not alone. A nephew of her husband seems to
have the same frustration. He provides the details that Higgins was an accomplished pianist who played at the Patio Lounge, and that Mrs. Higgins was a native American from Oklahoma who was named Billie.....

To qualify for the Marines one must pass boot camp
Many fail due to the rigorous training
But more importantly (as JohnM points out) Oswald was lugging heavy books all over the TSBD every day. And using the stairs even just a few times per day would be provide excellent training.
Trotting/walking/jogging/sprinting for a few minutes would be dead easy for the little maggot.

Let me put this another way, say someone dies during the night and they are picked up by ambulance and driven back to the hospital, when the dead body arrives at the hospital the dead body is "dead on arrival" and the time of death must be estimated by examining the condition of the body, temperature, rigor mortis etc.

Who do you think you are fooling with this crap? Tippit was killed only a minute or two earlier. Do you really believe the condition of the body would have changed in those two minutes in such a way that an estimate for a time of death was required?
The ambulance arrived at the hospital and, according to Davenport's report, they tried to revive Tippit. When they failed they just qualified it as a DOA and registered the time at the hospital. Time of death; 1.15pm and place of death; the Methodist Hospital!
Get over it and take your propaganda crap elsewhere...

What other reason did you do that, other than because no medical professional ever appeared at the scene of the Tippit shooting?

The funeral home that responded to Oswald’s victim
....After dispatching officers to the scene, the police switchboard operator picked up the direct line to the Hughes funeral home, whose job it was to provide ambulance services to that part of Oak Cliff. There were no private ambulance companies or emergency medical technicians in the early ’60s, and emergency medical service wouldn’t be officially implemented until 1971.
Up until 1973, the year the city of Dallas hired its own operators to answer emergency calls, ambulances were provided by area funeral homes that the city contracted. In 1963, the city of Dallas had three main funeral homes that provided ambulance services. ....

I don't need your amateurish infantile insults.
Tippit was worked on at Methodist hospital where they tried to breathe life back into Tippit's lifeless body, therefore Tippit was already dead before any attempt of resuscitation was made and knowing that Tippit was shot several times in the chest and once in the temple, the medical professionals came to the conclusion that Tippit died at the scene, hence the 1:15 time of death.

You are making this up as you go along. The release for autopsy document clearly states that the place of death was the Methodist Hospital.
And btw, Detective Davenport who (unlike you) was at the hospital when Tippit was declared DOA at 1.15 pm disagrees with you.
Go to your local hospital emergency section and get some real medical advice instead of relying on your layman biased interpretation of a "Wikipedia" article and then get back to us.
Says the guy who just used a Wikipedia article to support his argument! Hilarious!

I don't need your amateurish infantile insults.
Tippit was worked on at Methodist hospital where they tried to breathe life back into Tippit's lifeless body, therefore Tippit was already dead before any attempt of resuscitation was made and knowing that Tippit was shot several times in the chest and once in the temple, the medical professionals came to the conclusion that Tippit died at the scene, hence the 1:15 time of death.

No matter how you disparage me personally, I called you out for misleading readers, which you indeed did. The fact is no "medical professional" was in any position to pronounce Tippit "D.O.A." until AFTER his ARRIVAL at the hospital.

This isn't difficult, the time that the doctors say the patient is "DOA" is irrelevant, the only pertinent time is the actual time that the patient dies.

More stupidity...
The actual time that Tippit died was 1.15 pm and the place of death, according to the same document, was the Methodist Hospital.
Also, in his report, Detective Davenport wrote; "We assisted in getting the officer to the Emergency Room. And observed the doctors and nurses trying to bring the Officer back to life. At 1:15 pm (originally he wrote 1:06 pm, which was later typed over) Dr. Richard Liquori pronounced him dead."
-
OK, for the less desperate, in the section where the precise details are filled in, the following quote makes it absolutely clear that Tippit was pronounced dead on arrival(DOA), which can only possibly mean that Tippit was dead before he arrived, Tippit may have died 1 second before he arrived but he was dead on arrival(DOA).
PERTINENT FACTS REGARDING DEATH
Deceased, a Dallas Police Officer was shot at 303 East Tenth Street was rushed to Methodist Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Tippit may have died 1 second before he arrived but he was dead on arrival(DOA)
They verified his death at the emergency room and since he may indeed have only died 1 second before arrival they used the actual time as the time of death.
The doctors who attempted to bring Tippit back to life would have a good idea of how long these horrific injuries would take to kill a man.
Indeed, which is why they wrote that the actual of death was 1.15 pm and that he died at the Methodist Hospital.
It is also why Detective Davenport wrote in his report; "We assisted in getting the officer to the Emergency Room. And observed the doctors and nurses trying to bring the Officer back to life. At 1:15 pm (originally he wrote 1:06 pm, which was later typed over) Dr. Richard Liquori pronounced him dead."
Mytton's hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Kennedy was shot and obviously killed at 12:30 pm at Dealey Plaza. Half his head was blown off, ffs, yet the doctors declared him dead at Parkland Hospital at 1 PM. In this case, Mytton has argued in the past that Kennedy could have survived the massive loss of blood and a fatal head wound for 30 minutes.
But when it comes to Tippit, he argues that when the doctors declared him dead, they actually used the time he was shot at 10th/Patton, because they would have known "how long these horrific injuries would take to kill a man."
Go figure!

What you or I want is irrelevant, the fact is that the Dallas Police radio was based on a clock that was calibrated because time was the basic backbone of the job and having as accurate time as possible was paramount.
Do you have any evidence for how or if the police dispatcher's clock was "calibrated", or did you just make all this up?
Btw an important part of your Tippit timeline relies on a "screwball", how does that work?

Yes ....Whoever fired these bullets was an expert with revolver he was using.....I seriously doubt that an inexperienced gunman could have fired a an old .38 with a sawed off barrel with this kind of accuracy..... Since the witnesses said that the man walked away unloading the revolver one shell at a time he clearly was NOT using a Smith & Wesson... and I'd bet the barrel was not sawed of either......

Sounds a bit like Trump, doesn't it.

Nor were the clocks used by the DPD dispatchers. But if Bowley's watch didn't give the correct time, he would have been late to pick up his daughter from school. He wasn't!

If the ambulance arrived say, at 1:18, and then Dr.Liqouri pronounced Oswald DOA after a quick examination at 1:18, but wrote his "physicians estimate" of the time of death occurring at 1:15, then should not the detectives statement be something like:
AT 1:18, we arrived at the emergency room and Dr Liquori pronounced Oswald DOA and estimated that the death occurred approximately 12:15.

Here is some eyewitnesses at the assassination scene and the times are all over the place. But what is interesting is the two eyewitnesses who saw the exact same Hertz clock and give times 4 minutes apart, humans make mistakes, and on top of that what's also fascinating is that these two eyewitnesses both break the "5 minute rule" ironically because they remembered to look at a digital clock, the same format that we all take for granted today but just wasn't usually accessible at the time hence all the rounded off times.

official document, a record of the homicide death of an on duty, city police officer. It documents FOREVER, the time of injury
as 1:18 pm and the time of death at 1:15 pm. Bowley claims he arrived at 1:10 pm, Mrs. Higgins of 417 E. Tenth told Barry Ernst a short time later that she heard the shots, rushed outside and this coincided with a TV announcer saying the time was 1:06 pm. This is a useless exercise, you know it, give us all a break and stop posting because officials corrupted the official record!

On the same page as David's 2018 assertion, Karl Kinaski posted.:
What we know for sure is the time Tippit was shot. It was 1:06 pm. Quote from a CTKA review of Barry Earnest book THE GIRL ON THE STAIRS:
"Barry then visited the scene of policeman J. D. Tippit's shooting. Here, he meets a witness that no agent of government had talked to, a Mrs. Higgins who lived nearby. She offered him some very important information. She had heard the shots and ran out her front door to see Tippit lying in the street. Barry asked her what time it was. She said it was 1:06. He asked her how she recalled that specific time. She said because she was watching TV and the announcer said it. So she automatically checked her clock when he said it and he was right." (Pronto after that announcement she heard the shots which killed Tippit)
Donald Reed Higgin's death certificate of October 25, 1969, indicates the couple still resided at 417 East Tenth, (1963 Dallas city directory displays "417 East Tenth, Apt. C").

Impossible to dispute facts. On page 83, author Barry Ernst dates this interview segment in Dallas as March, 1968. He says in his book he encountered both Mr. and Mrs. Higgins. I documented that Mr. Higgins died the following year on Oct. 25, 1969.
A reasonable person would find it reasonable that, after hearing the shots from her location at 417 E. Tenth and then seeing the body of a DPD officer lying shot down in the street literally yards away, the details would remain in Mrs. Higgins's mind 52 months later.:

Indeed, it's impossible to dispute facts. I looked at all the major channels and didn't see any timestamp for 1:06 but I did see that WFAA-TV's Jay Watson give a timestamp for 1:03. Now I know there may have been some obscure channel I couldn't find but Jay's announcement is pretty compelling.
Mrs. Higgins explained. “He said it just like that, ‘six minutes after one.’ And you know how you always do, you hear the time and you automatically check your own watch. So I just looked up at the clock on my television to verify the time and it said 1:06.

Btw And isn't it incredibly suspicious that the quoted time just happened to be 1:06 and since Barry lied to the Higgins, how reliable does that make him? Good luck with the moral dilemma that his honesty has on your belief system.
Mrs. Higgins got noticeably upset and asked if I was writing a book. I assured her I was in Dallas only to satisfy my own curiosity.

I doubt that anybody disputes that JD Tippit died instantly ....... from the bullet that entered his brain at the right temple. Some may argue that this was not an execution and pretend that Tippit was killed by a panic stricken fugitive. One glance at the photos would reveal to a rookie detective that the man in the photos was deliberately executed.
A fleeing fugitive would not have wanted to make sure that Tippit was dead.... A fugitive would merely have wanted to avoid arrest, and once the cop was down and unable to stop him, he would have ran from the scene. But That's NOT what Tippit's executioner did..... The photos clearly reveal that the killer wanted to be certain that JD Tippit was dead.

That's the way it's been since day one..... Even those who profess to be looking for answers ignore facts like this. But that doesn't alter or eliminate the fact. And these photos are graphic proof that the killer was in fact an executioner.. He was not squeamish about killing a fellow human and a cop ..... ( Which tells me he was probably a mobster, like Jack Ruby ) Benavides description of Tippit's executioner does match Whitey Bulger ......and Bulger was a cold blooded killer whose mob name was " The Rifleman" . I've often wondered if acquired that moniker after the murder of JFK?

A fleeing fugitive would not have wanted to make sure that Tippit was dead.... A fugitive would merely have wanted to avoid arrest, and once the cop was down and unable to stop him, he would have ran from the scene. But That's NOT what Tippit's executioner did..... The photos clearly reveal that the killer wanted to be certain that JD Tippit was dead.
You are forever confusing your baseless subjective opinion with reality. Maybe Oswald didn't want to get shot in the back by a wounded police officer as he left. So he finished him off. There was no one else around to arrest him. It only took an instant to finish him off. No great loss of time in fleeing from the scene.

In that case he should have taken Tippit's revolver with him to make sure that a bystander couldn't pick it up and shoot at him.

That's exactly what Ted Callaway did..... He grabbed Tippit's revolver and said to Scoggins....." You saw which way he went, let's go after him" ...Funny thing though, Callaway claimed that he saw the man fleeing east on 10th near the car lot where he sold used cars. So If he saw the man why did he say that to Scoggins.

My guess is that he was just trying to make sure that Tippit was not going to recover and identify him later on. Picking up Tippit’s gun would have potentially incriminated him (in case he got caught with it, or left a finger print on it).

I didn't refute any "facts" because none are present in your claim that Oswald would not have finished Tippit off. Instead you substituted your own opinion of what Oswald would have done in that situation to reach a desired outcome. I merely provided one possible reason that Oswald finished Tippit off. I have no idea if that is why he did so because only Oswald could ever know for sure (a point you fail to realize) but it is plausible and counters your silly claim that Oswald would not have paused for even a moment to finish Tippit off. Thereby, somehow rendering him innocent of this crime despite the testimony of several witnesses that place him at the scene with a pistol. In addition, there is nothing that I or anyone else needs to do to make you appear to be a kook. You are adept at that yourself.

Mr "Smith", Please explain how "Oswald" unloaded a Smith & Wesson revolver ONE SHELL AT A TIME as he walked away ..... Oh and perhaps you can find someone who has tried to hit a 10 inch pie tin at 20 feet with one of those old S&W 38 caliber revolvers with the barrel sawed off.... I'll bet you can't find a single person who can hit the pie tin more than once with a full load of six cartridges of 38 special cartridges.

No, but I looked down a rabbit hole once and guess who I saw? Someone named Roger.

Another good point... in addition, having two weapons would give him more firepower if spotted by the cops.

Someone named Roger.
After Roger was humiliated, I reckon that type of personality would have have spitefully created a dozen more aliases. Just saying!

There must have been a crapload of prints on those shell casings when Oswald loaded the gun, right? So where are they?

I was driving XXXX north on Denver and stopped at 10th St. when I first saw the squad car and men walking on the sidewalk near the squad car. .................. Both the squad car and this young white male were coming in my direction(East on 10th Street). At the time I was just approaching the squad car, I noticed this young white male with both hands in the pockets of his zippered jacket leaning over the passenger side of the squad car. This young white male was looking into the squad car from the passenger side
I heard three shots in rapid (illegible)I went right through the intersection, stopped my car and turned to look back. I then saw the officer lying on the street and saw this young white man standing near the front of the squad car. Next. this man with a gun in his hand ran toward the back of the squad car, but instead of running away he stepped into the street and shot the police officer who was lying in the street.

If accurate ...this statement demonstrates that the killer went entirely out of his way to execute the cop who was already down and apparently sufficiently damaged.
Who were these men that were walking on the sidewalk?

Well at least you recognize that the shooting of Tippit was an EXECUTION....... I believe it was premeditated. It does not appear to be the act of a fleeing fugitive.
There can be no doubt that the bullet in the brain was intended to ensure that Tippit was dead..... A fleeing fugitive probably wouldn't have wasted time in clearing out of the area as soon as Tippit was down. The FACT is the killer did NOT hastily dash away from the scene, indicates that he intended to execute Tippit.

Mr. EISENBERG. Now, if a person using the gun and having it fully loaded with six bullets fired less than six bullets, can he use this ejector-extraction mechanism without losing his unfired bullets as well as the empty cartridge cases?
Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir--by merely tipping the weapon. The unfired cartridge is heavier, and will fall out of the cylinder into his hand. Then he can extract the cartridge cases and lead in more.
Mr. EISENBERG. Could you demonstrate that?
Mr. CUNNINGHAM. If I may have a cartridge, please.
Mr. EISENBERG. Do you have any fired cartridges in the cylinder?
Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir; I do. Prior to my appearance here today, this morning, I fired five cartridges in this weapon, and they are still in the cylinder.
Mr. EISENBERG. You are now placing an unfired--
Mr. CUNNINGHAM. An unfired cartridge in the sixth chamber of the cylinder. Now, in a normal way, you would hit the cylinder release, push in your hand like this, and tip it up. The unfired cartridge will fall right out into your hand, due to the fact that the chambers of the cylinder are naturally larger than the
cartridge you are loading in there for ease of putting them in. When you fire a cartridge in a revolver, the case expands as wide as the cylinder. In other words, when the firing pin hits the primer, there is an explosion in the primer, the powder is ignited in the cartridge, and the terrific pressure will expand the cartridge case to tightly fit the chamber.
Mr. EISENBERG. I would like the record to show that when Mr. Cunningham tipped the revolver, the unfired bullet tipped out, but the five expended shells remained in.
The CHAIRMAN. Very well.
Mr. EISENBERG. Now, Mr. Cunningham, would you show how you would eject the five expended shells?
Mr. CUNNINGHAM. yes. These are very difficult, by the way, to extract, due to the fact that the chamber has been rechambered. And as you can see, you get on your cartridge cases a little ballooning with these smaller diameter cases in the .38 Special.
Mr. EISENBERG. I would like the record to show that Mr. Cunningham extracted the five expended cartridge eases merely by one push of the ejector rod.
Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Yon won't be able to see it again, but when you eject a cartridge ease later on for the powder pattern test, I will show that you can have residues of unburned powder. That is what would happen if you ejected
457
731-219 O--64--vol.III---30
these cartridge cases in your hand. You would pick up unburned powder, residues, and partially burned powder.
Mr. EISENBERG. Mr. Cunningham had ejected five cartridge cases from the revolver into his hand, and his right hand is now filled with small black particles, whose composition I am unable to determine.
Representative FORD. That would happen any time that you did it?
Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir; every time you eject them, these particles will come out from the cylinder into your hand--unburned powder, partially burned powder, and gunpowder residues.
Representative FORD. Had you fired this morning these particular bullets?
Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir; at 8:15.
Mr. EISENBERG. Mr. Cunningham, these cartridge cases which you ejected were .38 Special cartridge cases?
Mr. CUNNINGHAM. They were.
Mr. EISENBERG. What time did you fire those bullets, those .38 Special bullets in this revolver?
Mr. CUNNINGHAM. At approximately 8:15 this morning.

Again, what you choose to "believe" is not evidence of anything. Oswald certainly did momentarily pause to execute Tippit. Only he knows why but your speculation to the contrary there is a plausible reason for this action. Maybe he didn't want to risk getting shot by a wounded police officer. It is possible to be shot multiple times and still be alive and functional. There are numerous examples. Oswald is making split second decisions under enormous stress. Whether it is deemed unnecessary or not to finish Tippit off casts no doubt whatsoever on the killer being Oswald as you have claimed.

Mr "Smith" I posted FBI agent Cortland Cunningham's testimony in which he testified that the spent shells are "VERY DIFFICULT TO EXTRACT" from the S&W revolver that was allegedly used to kill Tippit. Since I did this favor for you, perhaps you can return the favor by posting the testimony of the witnesses who watched Tippit's killer as he removed one shell at a time as he walked away from the scene. Maybe I've misread their statements and in which they said the killer easily removed the spent shells ONE SHELL AT A TIME. It should be apparent to you that if the witnesses are correct ( that the killer had no trouble removing the spent shells ONE AT A TIME ) then he must NOT have been using the same revolver that FBI agent Cunningham used to demonstrate that all of the spent shells are removed at once from the S&W revolver and they are VERY DIFFICULT TO EXTRACT.

Scully complaining about posters who fill this forum up with unreadable nonsense is like Willie Wonka lecturing on childhood tooth decay.
Your criticism of my posts is inaccurate. Stop misleading readers or actually support your criticism of my posts.
Are you actually claiming the details I regularly post on this forum are not among the most original, accurate, and informative of any others that have been posted in these threads?
I am accustomed to and have learned to expect attempts to discredit my presentations and the substance of them, but I draw the line in reaction to others deliberately deceiving readers about the quality and informative nature of the research details I regularly post.
Could your criticism of my posts have anything to do with my proving that witness Ms. Davis lied to the DPD and to the WC about her age and my pointing out witness Whaley changed his own age sometime between the age on his 1942 WWII military draft registration (coinciding with the birth date recorded in his family's bible, among numerous other government and family genealogy records) vs. his age at the time of his late 1965 death, (moving his age to three years earlier and prior to the date of the marriage of his parents) and that there is no known record of the Navy Cross award he told the press he earned in combat associated with the Iwo Jima invasion? Or further, is your criticism at all in reaction to my posting definitive proof I posted on this forum that Mr. Whaley's own oldest child, son and namesake, William W. Whaley, Jr. s not included in Mr. Whaley's own obit, but is listed in the obit of a man other than Whaley as his son, and in Whaley Jr.'s own obit as the son of the widow of that other man?
Richard, I offer posted, original research details of the kind that are exactly what a forum like this is in dire need of, if it exists to inform readers. What do you actually contribute in your posts on this forum that you expect informs readers of verifiable details they are reading here for the first time, anywhere?
This thread is now 53 pages. Anyone with any background knowledge of the shooting of Tippit vs the timing of Oswald's movements in the 40 minutes before that shooting, presumably dependent on the testimony of just two witnesses, Mr. Whaley and Mrs. Roberts, would have the sense not to expect to resolve the issue of whether Oswald could actually arrive in time to shoot Tippit while he still had the ability to stand.
IOW, it is obvious to a reasonable person with knowledge of the circumstances of the Tippit shooting not to initiate a thread such as this one because of the dubious quality of the backgrounds of witnesses Whaley, Roberts, and Virginia Davis for reasons my original research about Whaley and Davis, as well as both the WC testimony of Mrs. Roberts's employer Gladys Johnson and that of Mrs. Roberts' sister, Bertha Bogle make obvious, and due to the inability of Mrs. Roberts to accurately fix the time police first arrived at 1026 N. Beckley (inaccurate by at least 45 minutes).
Even more obvious justification not to initiate a thread such as this one with the expectation of resolving anything is the problem displayed on the Tippit death certificate, time of injury @ 1:18 pm, time of death, 3 minutes before that, and the handling by investigators of the alleged murder weapon and both live shells and empty shell husks allegedly associated with it, but here we are, again.
(http://jfkforum.com/images/TippitDeathCertificate.jpg)
Richard, you are attempting to marginalize my posts on this forum, and by extension, me personally. I am results oriented, and I have many, related to this case, to point to. Please inform readers of some of your informative research results.
Can you point to any example of a book author crediting you or your research with your name (whatever it actually is...)?
In just one example, of several, my original research directly caused two revised editions of a recent book as well as compelling a sworn deposition, in 2014, of the most important and controversial witness testifying in the 1965 murder trial
(the murder of Mary Meyer) of Ray Crump.
Additionally, I presented the fact Priscilla MacMillan's first cousin, David C Davenport was a CIA asset who directed his friend who, at the time was married to the aunt of senior POTUS advisor, Clark M. Clifford, to be driver and escort of Priscilla and Marina in late 1964. This discovery was later supported by the publication of this photo in 2013, a photo provided to the press by Priscilla, herself! I also discovered that Clark M. Clifford's first cousin and step daughter of the man pictured below filed a lawsuit against both the man in this picture and his friend, Davenport, in response to their commitment of her against her will, to a State of New Mexico mental hospital, just months after those two men "protected" Priscilla and Marina from press availability and inquiry immediately after the publication of the Warren Report.

Look this is simple. If a witness indicates that they saw OSWALD do something, that is not somehow evidence that it was not Oswald. You appear to be using Alice-in-Wonderland logic again. Whether it is "difficult" or not to extract the shells is meaningless in that context. But to play along did a witness indicate that Oswald "easily" or "with no trouble" removed the shells as you have claimed? If so, how did they make that assessment? From what you have posted here you seem to be conflating the fact that Oswald removed the shells one at a time with that somehow being easy.

He might have held the shells by the rim. Even if he didn't, shells don't have much surface area for a print. Neither does a trigger. Police dust such small areas in the off-chance there might be a print. It's possible but unlikely.
Also fingers aren't always casting off prints; the pores could be clean is they touch something absorbent and it will be awhile before sweat is present again.

Thanks for posting the picture of a revolver with a swing out cylinder ( like a S&W ) ..... It will give those who are unfamiliar with the S&W some idea about how the shells are loaded and unloaded. ( Although the extractor mechanism isn't illustrated)

Yes it is...That's the reason even you should be able to understand that the killer walked away while removing ONE-SPENT- SHELL -AT- A - TIME . (We can know that this is true because the shells were found widely scattered ) But Cortland Cunningham said that that is NOT the way the spent shells are removed from the 38 caliber Smith & Wesson. It's simple... The shells are removed all in one stroke of the extractor of the S&W and all spent shells either fall to the ground in a small area or into the hand of the user.

Please cite where Benavides describes the "ease" with which the killer removes the spent shells. I skimmed his testimony and don't see him describing anything about whether it appeared easy or difficult to remove the shells. He just says he saw Oswald remove the shells (without reference to whether that appeared easy) and throw them. How does removing them ONE AT A TIME (even in all caps) equate to it meaning that it was easy?
Mr. BELIN - What else did you see?
Mr. BENAVIDES - Then I seen the man turn and walk back to the sidewalk and go on the sidewalk and he walked maybe 5 foot and then kind of stalled. He didn't exactly stop. And he threw one shell and must have took five or six more steps and threw the other shell up, and then he kind of stepped up to a pretty good trot going around the corner.
Mr. BELIN - Well, did you see the man empty his gun?
Mr. BENAVIDES - That is what he was doing. He took one out and threw it.

Well it sure as hell wasn't difficult ....Benavides said nothing about the killer struggling to remove a spent shell.....And if you'd extract your head perhaps you could see that Cunningham said that ALL THE SHELLS ARE REMOVED AT ONCE from the S&W revolver. ...And Cunningham said that they are very difficult to remove.
Mr. EISENBERG. I would like the record to show that when Mr. Cunningham tipped the revolver, the unfired bullet tipped out, but the five expended shells remained in.
The CHAIRMAN. Very well.
Mr. EISENBERG. Now, Mr. Cunningham, would you show how you would eject the five expended shells?
Mr. CUNNINGHAM. yes. These are very difficult, by the way, to extract, due to the fact that the chamber has been rechambered. And as you can see, you get on your cartridge cases a little ballooning with these smaller diameter cases in the .38 Special.
-
Look this is simple.
Yes it is...That's the reason even you should be able to understand that the killer walked away while removing ONE-SPENT- SHELL -AT- A - TIME . (We can know that this is true because the shells were found widely scattered ) But Cortland Cunningham said that that is NOT the way the spent shells are removed from the 38 caliber Smith & Wesson. It's simple... The shells are removed all in one stroke of the extractor of the S&W and all spent shells either fall to the ground in a small area or into the hand of the user.
But Cortland Cunningham said that that is NOT the way the spent shells are removed from the 38 caliber Smith & Wesson.
Actually those are your words, not Cunningham's. Here is what he said:
Mr. EISENBERG. Now, Mr. Cunningham, would you show how you would eject the five expended shells?

1. Eisenberg asked Cunningham how he would eject the five expended shells. [There are other ways that also work.]
2. Cunningham did say that these are very difficult, by the way, to extract. [Using Cunningham's method, the reason that he says it is very difficult [requires extraordinary force] is: "due to the fact that the chamber has been re-chambered. And you get "a little ballooning"...]
3. Another (perfectly reasonable, given the circumstances) method that LHO might have chosen to use is to extract them one at a time. This would be particularly indicative of someone who had had limited experience/instruction with a revolver. Remember that LHO's pistol training in the USMC was with their standard issue Colt .45 automatic pistol.
I used to own a S&W .38 special revolver. So I fully understand how it works. And it was not unusual for me to extract the spent shells one at a time (especially when I first started using it).
And your stated conclusion that it had to be a different type of gun because of the one-at-a-time-extraction allegation just doesn't make any sense.
-
Please cite where Benavides describes the "ease" with which the killer removes the spent shells.
Oh Oh....a booger.

He might have held the shells by the rim. Even if he didn't, shells don't have much surface area for a print. Neither does a trigger. Police dust such small areas in the off-chance there might be a print. It's possible but unlikely.
Also fingers aren't always casting off prints; the pores could be clean is they touch something absorbent and it will be awhile before sweat is present again.
Possibly, but not probably, IMO. LHO had to take the ammo out of the box and insert the bullets into the gun which surely would have left at least 1 print on 1 of the shells. The problem here is that there is no way to link hulls with the slugs.
I also don't get why there were no prints on the handgun. Shouldn't LHO's lack of prints in the SN on the MC and the handgun give you pause? Legally, isn't that too few prints to implicate the shooter and doesn't it make LHO the patsy instead?

This video doesn’t address the 11/22/63 situation that LHO had. It doesn’t include spent shells, which expand and are held in place by friction. And it especially doesn’t include the mismatched .38 special ammunition spent shells (for the re-chambered gun). Which was testified, by an expert, as being “very difficult” to eject by that method.

You are running around in circles. Here is what you claimed: "Because the witnesses, Starting with Dom Benavides DESCRIBE the ease with which the killer removes the spent shells ONE AT A TIME."
Not saying anything about whether it appeared difficult to remove the shells doesn't mean that Benavides DESCRIBED Oswald "easily" removing the shells as you have falsely claimed. It just means that Benavides made no observation whatsoever on that point. All he said was that he saw Oswald remove and throw them after murdering Tippit. Who again? Oswald.

Mr. BENAVIDES - Later on that evening, about 4 o'clock, there was two officers came by and asked for me, Mr. Callaway asked me---I had told them that I had seen the officer, and the reporters were there and I was trying to hide from the reporters because they will just bother you all the time.
Then I found out that they thought this was the guy that killed the President. At the time I didn't know the President was dead or he had been shot.
I was just trying to hide from the reporters and everything, and these two officers came around and asked me if I'd seen him, and I told him yes, and told them what I had seen, and they asked me if I could identify him, and I said I don't think I could. At this time I was sure, I wasn't sure that I could or not. I wasn't going to say I could identify and go down and couldn't have.
Mr. BELIN - Did he ever take you to the police station and ask you if you could identify him?
Mr. BENAVIDES - No; they didn't.
-
You know what else is simple?
Just because a witness was coerced at an unfair lineup to identify Oswald, that does not mean that s/he actually saw Oswald.
Was he/she also 'coerced' to almost faint?

Possibly, but not probably, IMO. LHO had to take the ammo out of the box and insert the bullets into the gun which surely would have left at least 1 print on 1 of the shells.
That's a probability argument. Touching a small area like the trigger or a shell probably would leave a smudged print, if any. The finger leaving off the trigger would "wipe" any print there, as would pushing a shell forward between fingers into a revolver. There's also the factor that fingers don't constantly and consistently cast off prints anyway. Sometimes the fingers are dry due to touching something absorbent or purposely wiping or washing them.
Police seldom see latent fingerprints on a spent shell due to heat vaporizing the oils. We went over on the Forum a while ago the new technique that would be able to detect "micro-etched fingerprints", prints that aren't visible but have left a thin residual mark due to heat. But some studies intentionally placed strong fingerprints on the hulls before firing, which improved the detection results. Still on the off-chance there might be some prints on the hulls in the JFK case, then they'll hopefully be tested when the science is truly ready.
The problem here is that there is no way to link hulls with the slugs.
I also don't get why there were no prints on the handgun. Shouldn't LHO's lack of prints in the SN on the MC and the handgun give you pause?
Some materials resist printing. I think the rifle's wood stock was like that, in that it was absorbent. The triggerguard housing was smooth metal, almost perfect for a print to be deposited. Without getting into the arguments for-and-against, some believe Oswald's prints were photographed on the housing.
Legally, isn't that too few prints to implicate the shooter and doesn't it make LHO the patsy instead?
Fingerprint evidence is always highlighted on TV shows but real-life court cases usually don't have much, if any, in the way of fingerprint evidence. Often the weapon is wiped down or the prints are smudged or the surface of the weapon isn't receptive to prints. Or the killer wore gloves. The Golden State Killer apparently left no prints, only one trace of DNA.

Shooting the two types of handguns is similar regardless of whether it is an automatic or a revolver. And LHO was reported to be quite good at shooting a pistol by his pistol instructor in the USMC. This explains the "deadly accuracy" part. However, reloading the two different types of handguns is quite different. LHO was trained to operate the Colt .45 automatic, and I expect he would have been able to reload one of those very rapidly. But I haven't seen any evidence that LHO received any training that included reloading a revolver (he didn't even have the correct ammunition). Yes, someone who trained with a revolver would most likely use the method demonstrated by Cunningham. And repetition (in training) would enable someone to become quite proficient at it. Personally, I used to have a device that held six bullets in the same circular pattern as the revolver receiver pattern, it had a small knurled knob that twisted to release the bullets into the revolver (once they all were inserted). This allowed reloading it much faster than inserting the bullets one at a time. So, you see citing his training with a Colt .45 automatic is not irrelevant, it explains why he was accurate in shooting and perhaps not so proficient in reloading a revolver.
The S&W 38 special is NOT the same gun being discussed by Cunningham..... The 38 S&W revolver in question was called A Victory Model....And the chambers were bigger diameter than the .38 Special ..... This is the reason the .38 Special ammo BALLOONED in the chamber and made the spent .38 special cartridges "Very difficult to remove"
Yes, I am aware of all of that. But actually the Victory model was a .38 special when manufactured. This particular gun was re-chambered by Seaport Traders, Inc to the slightly larger diameter size. Here is the mail coupon (CE 135):
(https://i.vgy.me/stFWwR.jpg)
Notice the price of this gun versus the S&W 38 special that is four line items above it. LHO apparently ordered it because it had a lower price. This is consistent with the rifle, which also was priced lower than most.

Good grief! Loading and unloading a Smith&Wesson .38 for Dummies-----
The revolver in the vIdeo is NOT The old .38 caliber Victory model, that used the older and less powerful .38 cailber bullet. The S&W revolver being discussed is the old WW1 model. That old S&W used a larger diameter but shorter length cartridge. The dimensions shown in the top row are....
Projectile diameter---- .359" Neck diameter--- .386" Base diameter---.386" Rim diameter--- .433" Case length--- 0.78" Cartridge length--- 1.20"
The dimensions for the new S&W Special cartridge are .......
Projectile diameter---- .357" Neck diameter--- .379" Base diameter---.379" Rim diameter--- .440" Case length--- 1.155" Cartridge length--- 1.98"
It's obvious that the old "Victory" model would require chamber modification to allow the longer "Special" cartridge to be used in the old gun. However the chamber bore (.388")was actually too large for the smaller diameter ( .379") Special cartridge cartridge. This oversize chamber caused the powerful Special cartridge to balloon ( and often split) which made the removal of the spent shells difficult. Just as Cunningham pointed out when he demonstrated the removal of the spent cartridges for the S&W Victory revolver in evidence.
So in summary....The spent shells are al removed at the same time from the S&W revolver.... But the witnesses said that Tippit's killer walked away while removing ONE- SHELL - AT - A - TIME. And the spent shells were found widely scattered which verifies the witnesses observations.
The killer was NOT using a Smith & Wesson revolver.......

There has been speculation those described as listening in to the Saturday night operator at the Dallas city hall assisting Oswald, triggered his shooting death ASAP, once the details of that phone surveillance and the name "John Hurt" reached those in DC in a position to understand Oswald was sending a veiled message to the PTB via the rudimentary means he was reduced to use to communicate with the outside world, given his circumstance on November 23.... IOW, he did not want anyone else to send a wink to the PTB on his behalf and he did not want to play the only card he had, the name "John Hurt" in public, under the glare of cameras and microphones of the representatives of the press he had brief access to.
If he was a patsy, it certainly could have taken him 24 to 39 hours to figure it all out and decide what he had to work with to try to give those who had set him up, second thoughts about following through with burning him.....or not?
In this particular combination of DeMohrenschildt-Oswald background details, Oswald would not be actually attempting to speak directly to John Hurt, merely to alert the right people to some knowledge he had come by, especially if he was the individual who had actually written the unusual name, "Drittal" on the Seaport Traders order form for the revolver purchase.
Coincidentally, Oswald has been linked to the names "Drittal" and John Hurt. What are the odds of that name combination
being inconsequential, random, vs what can actually be found and presented here?

In part, the links relate to the still unsolved shooting death of Joerissen's stepson, Chicago art dealer Paul Lamar Joachim (born Washington DC, 1912), a retired US Navy Rear Admiral, on October 22, 1962, exactly 13 months before Kennedy was killed. ...

Wytheville linguist's World War II role is finally revealed
Paul Dellinger Sep 3, 2005
WYTHEVILLE -- John Hurt was pretty sure a Japanese attack was coming. But he and others at work trying to break Japanese message codes in the days before World War II did not know the target.
Hurt, who grew up in Wytheville, wrote in private recollections declassified in 1983 that they thought it would be at Manila.
Few people knew much about Hurt's wartime work that, though far from the lines of combat, was crucial to the Allied effort. Like others in his agency, Hurt suffered immense stress and even a mental breakdown from the vast amount of secret work he was processing.....

The revolver in the vIdeo is NOT The old .38 caliber Victory model, that used the older and less powerful .38 cailber bullet. The S&W revolver being discussed is the old WW1 model. That old S&W used a larger diameter but shorter length cartridge. The dimensions shown in the top row are....
Projectile diameter---- .359" Neck diameter--- .386" Base diameter---.386" Rim diameter--- .433" Case length--- 0.78" Cartridge length--- 1.20"
The dimensions for the new S&W Special cartridge are .......
Projectile diameter---- .357" Neck diameter--- .379" Base diameter---.379" Rim diameter--- .440" Case length--- 1.155" Cartridge length--- 1.98"
It's obvious that the old "Victory" model would require chamber modification to allow the longer "Special" cartridge to be used in the old gun. However the chamber bore (.388")was actually too large for the smaller diameter ( .379") Special cartridge cartridge. This oversize chamber caused the powerful Special cartridge to balloon ( and often split) which made the removal of the spent shells difficult. Just as Cunningham pointed out when he demonstrated the removal of the spent cartridges for the S&W Victory revolver in evidence.
So in summary....The spent shells are al removed at the same time from the S&W revolver.... But the witnesses said that Tippit's killer walked away while removing ONE- SHELL - AT - A - TIME. And the spent shells were found widely scattered which verifies the witnesses observations.
The killer was NOT using a Smith & Wesson revolver.......
I would like to know if other old revolvers could be modified to use the S&W Special cartridge......For example could an old .38 caliber Colt be modified to use the 38 Special cartridge? Perhaps some reader has this information and could post it.

False dilemma fallacy. Both things are unfair lineups.

False dilemma fallacy. Both things are unfair lineups.
This is a go nowhere argument, it's easy from the defence's perspective to flippantly say that there will never ever ever be a fair lineup because in reality there will always be another endless reason why the current lineups were unfair for example, there should be more people in the lineup, the light was different, the distance was different, their skin colours must be closer, the hair colour and hairline must be the same, they weren't the same shape, their nationalities and race didn't go back to their grandparents etc etc... So it's good and all that you believe that you can get all the positive identifications thrown out on some form of technicality by screaming "unfair" unfair" but that's not how it works, you have to deal with the eyewitnesses like Callaway the ex-marine who saw Oswald with a weapon and didn't look like he could be intimidated.

When you show the Police did something major to deliberately penalise Oswald then they may be a problem but considering that Oswald killed one of their own and was found with the weapon, then on the whole the Dallas Police were quite restrained because I know if someone killed my friend I would have trouble holding back.

"When you show the Police did something major to deliberately penalise Oswald"
Sir, You will need to extract your head....and that should enable you to see that the police railroaded Lee Oswald.... One of the major lies that they spread was that they had found the arch villain's ( Lee Oswald ) prints on the rifle. Henry Wade told reporters " Oh, By the way,....Did I mention that we have found his prints on the gun.?" When in FACT no identifiable prints had been found on the gun.
The police also used rigged Line ups to railroad their patsy.....

You don't know what gun killed Tippit.
But I'm curious. What is your source for the claim that Seaport Traders did the rechambering of CE 143?
I am searching for the source. If I find it I will post it.
The point I was making was to dispute Walt's apparent miss-association of the "Victory" model name exclusively with the .38 S&W caliber. This is what wikipedia has to say:
The Victory Model was used by United States forces during World War II, being chambered in the well-known and popular .38 Special cartridge. The Victory Model was a standard-issue sidearm for United States Navy and Marine Corps aircrews, and was also used by security guards at factories and defense installations throughout the United States during the war.
The S&W M&P military revolvers produced from 1942 to 1944 had serial numbers with a "V" prefix, and were known as the Smith & Wesson Victory Model. It is noteworthy that early Victory Models did not always have the V prefix. During World War II over 570,000 of these pistols were supplied to the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa under the Lend-Lease program, chambered in the British .38/200 caliber already in use in the Enfield No 2 Mk I Revolver and the Webley Mk IV Revolver. Most Victory Models sent to Britain were fitted with 4-inch or 5-inch barrels, although a few early versions had 6-inch barrels.

- Fillers and the suspect should be dressed alike
- Fillers should resemble the witness's pre-lineup description of the suspect
- There should be a minimum of 5 fillers
- The person administering the lineup should not know who the suspect is
- If the suspect has an unusual or unique feature that would make him stand out then it should be concealed, or the fillers should have the same thing artificially added
- Witnesses should not attend lineups together
- The witness should not be visible to the suspect or fillers
- The suspect's position in each lineup should be randomly placed

Exactly. They railroaded him, because they decided first that he killed a cop, and then rigged lineups to give them the answer that they wanted.

I'm no expert on S&W revolvers, but I believe that the old S&W revolver that magically appeared at the Texas Theater was one of those 570, 000 pistols that had been sent overseas to an ally during WWII.
But that's unimportant.... The point is.....The Killer was witnessed walking away after shooting Tippit and he was removing ONE - SHELL- AT- A- TIME as he walked away. The spent shells from an S&W are NOT removed ONE - AT- A- TIME.....Cunningham demonstrated how the spent shells are removed from the old S&W that magically appeared at the Texas Theater.
-
That's a probability argument. Touching a small area like the trigger or a shell probably would leave a smudged print, if any. The finger leaving off the trigger would "wipe" any print there, as would pushing a shell forward between fingers into a revolver. There's also the factor that fingers don't constantly and consistently cast off prints anyway. Sometimes the fingers are dry due to touching something absorbent or purposely wiping or washing them.
Someone needs to load a S&W from scratch and test your hypothesis. Oswald must have only touched the rim of the casings not to leave even a smeared print on at least one of them. Otherwise, Oswald would have taken great care not to put his prints on them or the gun.
Police seldom see latent fingerprints on a spent shell due to heat vaporizing the oils. We went over on the Forum a while ago the new technique that would be able to detect "micro-etched fingerprints", prints that aren't visible but have left a thin residual mark due to heat. But some studies intentionally placed strong fingerprints on the hulls before firing, which improved the detection results. Still on the off-chance there might be some prints on the hulls in the JFK case, then they'll hopefully be tested when the science is truly ready.
If there was any hint of prints on the hulls, smeared or otherwise, we would have heard about it by now.
Some materials resist printing. I think the rifle's wood stock was like that, in that it was absorbent. The triggerguard housing was smooth metal, almost perfect for a print to be deposited. Without getting into the arguments for-and-against, some believe Oswald's prints were photographed on the housing.
Oswald's alleged palm print was discovered on the barrel under the stock by Day after he disassembled the rifle. But I'm still waiting to see the expert analysis that matches this print to Oswald. Supposedly, there were several detectives/laymen who eyeballed the faded print and declared it a match to the palm print taken from Oswald post-mortem. Those were some eagle-eyed cops to pull that off.
Fingerprint evidence is always highlighted on TV shows but real-life court cases usually don't have much, if any, in the way of fingerprint evidence. Often the weapon is wiped down or the prints are smudged or the surface of the weapon isn't receptive to prints. Or the killer wore gloves. The Golden State Killer apparently left no prints, only one trace of DNA.
But nobody thinks that Oswald wore gloves and he allegedly man-handled the MC by disassembling it, placing it in a paper bag (wonky scope included), reassembled it in the TSBD, fired it at least 3 times, ditched it and only left one questionable partial palm print on the barrel and no other prints on the stock, bolt, scope, strap, clip and ammo. The most likely scenario to leave virtually no prints on the MC, was that the shooter wore gloves. Otherwise, there is no way Oswald would have or could have wiped the MC down before fleeing the scene.
-
Up until recently the chances of taking prints off a spent shell was practically impossible but the bullet recovered from within the rifle could have a print that is if Oswald wasn't wearing gloves or he didn't smear the print.
JohnM
I guess that's why Fritz thought it was ok to pick up the hulls with his bare hands and later toss them back onto the floor for a staged photo of the crime scene. Fritz assumed that Oswald didn't leave any prints on them, right?

Wasn't it Callaway who took it upon himself to stand the same 56' distance away from the lineup that he saw Oswald from on the street? It seems any defence lawyer would have demanded a field trip to have witnesses view Oswald (& fillers) from the distances they saw him on the street.

Well, Smith and Wesson will provide certification of the details for a fee if requested. But after further research, I am getting a clearer picture of the origin of the pistol and I think you are probably correct with regards to the overseas group of pistols. It appears to me that, Seaport Traders purchased a case of (probably) these and modified some of them.

Well according to Bill "TypoSuck" Chapman, it was 12-15 feet.

No, an unfair lineup is 1 man holding a rifle with a sign saying "I did it" but the Dallas line-ups were anything but.
Anyway, I know I could in no way say a man was guilty if he was not, but if you reckon that your fellow Americans were so stupid to blindly send a Man to the Electric chair because they were mindlessly manipulated then it's no wonder your country is such a mess.

If Markam left her house about 1:04, then at 1:06 she is almost halfway to where the bus stop is, then she would have had arrived at about 1:08, about 4 minutes before the 1:12 bus arrives "on time" as McWatters WC testimony suggests the protocol for bus was to arrive not too early nor late, but "on time" as scheduled.
Markam is a routine bus rider and she is dependent on a bus arriving if she is to get to work, so she could opt to take either the earlier 1:12 bus or the later 1:22 bus. (presuming these 2 bus time are actually correct?)
The safe bet, to MAKE SURE she gets to work is to opt for the earlier bus, since that way, if that 1:12 bus does not arrive, then she will not miss work, since she can then wait still at the same bus stop and catch the 1:22 bus.
If it is the 1:22 bus , then either Markam has opted to wait for a rather long period of 14 minutes for this bus to arrive, or her clock is out of sync with both DPD official clock time AND the Bus company official time and probably her place of work clock too, by about 6 minutes. Her watch is set 6 minutes slow.
She has also opted to take risk of MISSING work altogether that day, should the 1:22 bus no arrive due to mechanical failure, flat tire, etc.
Bowleys watch must be set 6 minutes slow, if Markams bus is the 1:22 bus.
The more probable scenario, imo, is that both Bowley and Markam, being routine regular workers at workplaces that most likely had their clocks set by "official time" thus in sync with DPD clock, Bus Comany clock, TSBD Roof Top Clock, would NOT LIKELY have their own clocks runnng 6 minutes slow.
Also, imo, its more probable that Markam would opt to take the earlier 1:12 bus, and arrive at that bus stop about 1:08 having to wait only about 4 minutes if its on time and only 3 more minutes if its a little late arriving at 1:15, which it may occasionally have done.
Also, its a safer option, just in case the 1:12 bus breaks down and never arrives at all, Markam can still take the 1:22 bus, still make it to work, albeit possibly a little late, but better than missing work altogether for that day.

I read Michaelis before I asked, but all I saw was that Seaport shortened the barrel.
Yes, he was only asked about the barrel length modification. However, the cylinder was re-chambered:
Some Lend-Lease Victory Model revolvers originally chambered for the British .38/200 were returned to the United States and rechambered to fire the more popular and more powerful .38 Special ammunition, and such revolvers are usually so marked on their barrels. Rechambering of .38-200 cylinders to .38 Special results in oversized chambers, which may cause problems. Lee Harvey Oswald was carrying a re-chambered Victory Model when he was apprehended on November 22, 1963.[10]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_%26_Wesson_Model_10 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_%26_Wesson_Model_10)
In the absence of evidence that it was re-chambered elsewhere, I believe that it is reasonable to assume that this was done at the same time the barrel was shortened. Seaport Traders apparently purchases these surplus guns (by the case) for relatively inexpensive amounts. And sends some of them to a gunsmith for modifications. Then sells them for significantly less ($10) than a similar gun that is factory made for the .38 special ammunition (see mail order coupon). The potential problems caused by the oversized chambers would likely be the reason for the lower price.

You have never explained how Tippit's Killer removed ONE- SHELL - AT-A-TIME as he walked away from the murder scene.....The most logical explanation is: The killer was NOT using a S&W revolver.
As far as I know....Nobody has ever proved that the spent shells entered into evidence are in fact the same shells that were found at the murder scene....
Lee Harvey Oswald was carrying a re-chambered Victory Model when he was apprehended on November 22, 1963.
Maybe, or maybe not.... Can you prove that Lee was in possession of the S&W Victory when he was arrested in the Texas Theater. And yes, I know that is a commonly accepted factoid.... But is it true? If Lee had that S&W on him at the theater it certainly should have his prints all over it. Were his prints found on the revolver?

Maybe you should explain this "logic" of yours.
A very reasonable explanation is that he could have pressed the ejector part way (so that the spent shells were part way out but still held there by friction. Then proceed to pull them out the rest of the way one at a time with his fingers.

Exactly what do you believe is unreasonable about it?
Do you honestly think a fleeing killer would only eject the shells half way?? We know he tossed the spent shells away, so he wasn't concerned about saving the empty brass.... And since that's true, it's not reasonable to eject the shells half way. He would have ejected them and let them fall on the ground.
It's clear to me that the killer was NOT using a Smith & Wesson.......I believe that he was using a revolver like a Colt or Ruger without a sawed off barrel.... Because his accuracy was excellent.....

We know it took extraordinary force to eject the spent shells with the ejector (Cunningham testimony). Perhaps he preferred holding the gun pointing down and allowing the un-spent cartridge(s) to stay in the cylinder, using gravity, while the partially ejected spent shells are picked out one at a time. You are the one that insists he removed them one at a time. I am answering your question as to how he might have done it.

I'm merely repeating what witnesses said they saw.... They said they saw him walking away from the scene as he removed one spent shell at a time....And the shells that were found attested to the fact that he removed them one at a time, because they were found widely distributed.
Perhaps he preferred holding the gun pointing down and allowing the un-spent cartridge(s) to stay in the cylinder,
Please present solid proof that there was any unfired cartridge in the gun.

Ray Hawkins stated that the gun came out of Oswald's belt.
Thomas Hutson stated that Oswald moved his right hand to his waist, and that he saw a revolver come out. Hutson also said that both of McDonald's hands were holding Oswald's right hand (which had the gun it). Hutson stated that the gun was removed from Oswald's hand.
C.T. Walker stated that during the scuffle, Oswald's hand was down on the gun in his belt.

Oswald said he was innocent. Case closed.

Thumb1:
The eyewitnesses who identified Oswald and confirmed he was carrying a gun
Mr. BALL. And what did you see the man doing?
Mrs. DAVIS. Well, first off she went to screaming before I had paid too much attention to him, and pointing at him, and he was, what I thought, was emptying the gun.
Mr. BALL. He had a gun in his hand?
Mrs. DAVIS. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Did you see anything else as you heard her screaming?
Mrs. DAVIS. Well, we saw Oswald. We didn't know it was Oswald at the time. We saw that boy cut across the lawn emptying the shells out of the gun.
Mr. BALL. And how was he holding the gun?
Mr. CALLAWAY. We used to say in the Marine Corps in a raised pistol position.
Mr. BALL. What did you see him doing?
Mr. GUINYARD. He came through there running and knocking empty shells out of his pistol and he had it up just like this with his hand.
Mr. BALL. With which hand?
Mr. GUINYARD. With his right hand; just kicking them out.
Mr. BALL. He had it up?
Mr. B.M. PATTERSON, 4635 Hartford Street, Dallas, Texas, currently employed by Wyatt's Cafeteria, 2647 South Lancaster, Dallas, Texas, advised he was present at the used car lot of JOHNNY REYNOLDS' on the afternoon of November 22, 1963.
PATTERSON advised that at approximately 1:30 PM, he was standing on JONNY REYNOLDS' used car lot together with L.J. LEWIS and HAROLD RUSSELL when they heard shots coming from the vicinity of 10th and Patton Avenue, Dallas, Texas. A minute or so later they observed a white male approximately 30 years of age, running south on Patton Avenue, carrying what appeared to be a revolver in his hand and was obviously trying to reload same while running.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you see this man's face that had the gun in his hand?
Mr.REYNOLDS. Very good.
HAROLD RUSSELL, employee, Johnny Reynolds Used Car Lot, 500 Jefferson Street, Dallas, Texas, advised that on the afternoon of November 22, 1963, he was standing on the lot of Reynolds Used Cars together with L.J. LEWIS and PAT PATTERSON, at which time they heard shots come from the vicinity of Patton and Tenth Street, and a few seconds later they observed a young white man running south on Patton Avenue carrying a pistol or revolver which the individual was attempting to either reload or place in his belt line.
Mr. BELIN - All right. Now, you said you saw the man with the gun throw the shells?
Mr. BENAVIDES - Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN - Well, did you see the man empty his gun?
Mr. BENAVIDES - That is what he was doing. He took one out and threw it
Mr. BALL. Which way?
Mrs. MARKHAM. Towards Jefferson, right across that way.
Mr. DULLES. Did he have the pistol in his hand at this time?
Mrs. MARKHAM. He had the gun when I saw him.
Mr. BELIN. Did he have anything in his hand?
Mr. SCOGGINS. He had a pistol in his left hand.
The Police Officers who were confronted with the murdering Oswald.
Mr. McDONALD - My left hand, at this point.
Mr. BALL - And had he withdrawn the pistol
Mr. McDONALD - He was drawing it as I put my hand.
Mr. BALL - From his waist?
Mr. McDONALD - Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. When you saw Oswald's hand by his belt, which hand did you see then?
Mr. WALKER. He had ahold of the handle of it.
Mr. BELIN. Handle of what?
Mr. WALKER. The revolver.
Mr. BELIN. Was there a revolver there?
Mr. WALKER. Yes; there was.
Mr. HUTSON. McDonald was at this time simultaneously trying to hold this person's right hand. Somehow this person moved his right hand to his waist, and I saw a revolver come out, and McDonald was holding on to it with his right hand, and this gun was waving up toward the back of the seat like this.
Oswald even admitted carrying his revolver.
Mr. STERN - Was he asked whether he was carrying a pistol at the time he was in the Texas Theatre?
Mr. BOOKHOUT - Yes; that was brought up. He admitted that he was carrying a pistol at the time he was arrested.
Mr. McCLOY. Was it a sharpshooter's or a marksman's? There are two different types, you know.
Mr. HOSTY. I believe it was a sharpshooter, sir. He then told Captain Fritz that he had been living at 1026 North Beckley, that is in Dallas, Tex., at 1026 North Beckley under the name O. H. Lee and not under his true name.
Oswald admitted that he was present in the Texas School Book Depository Building on the 22d of November 1963, where he had been employed since the 15th of October. Oswald told Captain Fritz that he was a laborer in this building and had access to the entire building. It had offices on the first and second floors with storage on third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors.
Oswald told Captain Fritz that he went to lunch at approximately noon on the 22d of November, ate his lunch in the lunchroom, and had gone and gotten a Coca Cola from the Coca Cola machine to have with his lunch. He claimed that he was in the lunchroom at the time President Kennedy passed the building.
He was asked why he left the School Book Depository that day, and he stated that in all the confusion he was certain that there would be no more work for the rest of the day, that everybody was too upset, there was too much confusion, so he just decided that there would be no work for the rest of the day and so he went home. He got on a bus and went home. He went to his residence on North Beckley, changed his clothes, and then went to a movie.
Captain Fritz asked him if he always carried a pistol when he went to the movie, and he said he carried it because he felt like it. He admitted that he did have a pistol on him at the time of his arrest, in this theatre, in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas. He further admitted that he had resisted arrest and had received a bump and a cut as a result of his resisting of arrest. He then denied that he had killed Officer Tippit or President Kennedy.
Mr. BALL. What did he say?
Mr. FRITZ. He told me he went over and caught a bus and rode the bus to North Beckley near where he lived and went by home and changed clothes and got his pistol and went to the show. I asked him why he took his pistol and he said, "Well, you know about a pistol; I just carried it." Let's see if I asked him anything else right that minute. That is just about it.

No one can say that Oswald didn't combine walking, sprinting, jogging, or trotting
Bottom line is that Oswald was Johnny-on-the-spot
And this was the point I was trying to make.The timings from Oawald leaving the TSBD and being arrested are not clear. It only takes for a few minutes to accrue to afford Oswald the possibility of being at the Tippit murder scene. Then the eye witnesses come into play and despite all the claims of posters claiming Oswald is innocent, they are quite substantial. I haven't seen enough evidence in this thread to acquit Oswald. If I was on a jury I would need a lot more than has been presented here by his defenders.
I also feel the same way about the assassination.

Bill, I am replying to you to alert readers our U.S. history is the color gray, not black or white.
....got exactly what he deserved.
But, when Ruby strolled into the basement of the DPD cop shop less than 48 hours later and shot down Oswald on live TV, the American people certainly did not what get what they deserved, and also certainly not when,
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/paine_r2.htm
...Mr. JENNER - Was there a movement also in this connection which you are now describing of a pen pal communication between young people here in America and young people in Russia?
Mrs. PAINE - Yes.
Mr. JENNER - Did you have anything to do with that?
Mrs. PAINE - There was a subcommittee of this Young Friends Committee of North America which was called East-West Contact Committee.
Mr. JENNER - Were you the leader of that committee?
Mrs. PAINE - I was not. But I was chairman of a committee of that committee, which was called Correspondence, and I helped make contact between young people in this country who wished to write to someone in the Soviet Union, and an organization of young people in Moscow which found pen pals for these young Americans.
We particularly wanted to go through an official organization so as to be certain we were not endangering or putting suspicion upon anyone, any young person in the Soviet Union to whom we were writing. We felt if they picked their own people that would lessen the suspicion of the Soviet person.
Mr. JENNER - Were you active in that group?
Mrs. PAINE - I was chairman of that for sometime.
Mr. JENNER - Did you take part in the pen pal correspondence yourself?
Mrs. PAINE - Yes; I did.
Mr. JENNER - And do you recall now the names of the Russian young people or Russian young person with whom you communicate, or sought communication?
Mrs. PAINE - I recall I wrote a few letters to a person named Ella, I have forgotten her last name, and I don't believe I have the correspondence still. If I did, I don't any more.....
...Mr. JENNER - Now all of your activity, this activity, of correspondence between you and any citizen in Russia, was part of it, originated in the Young Friends group, an activity to supply here a meeting with, communication by, Americans with citizens in Russia, and then latterly in your communication with the lady you have last mentioned, a mutual exchange between the two of you here to improve her English and you to improve your Russian?
Mrs. PAINE - That is right. The committee was formed much the same time that our State Department made arrangements with the Soviets for cultural exchange, and I think our Purposes were similar but, of course, outside the government.....
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/paine_m1.htm
....
Mr. LIEBELER - Do you know whether your wife engaged in a writing campaign or a pen pal campaign between people in the United States and people in the Soviet Union?
Mr. PAINE - That was another part of this East-West contacts committee's duties or tasks they took upon themselves and I think she was chairman, accepted the chairmanship of that committee.
For a while, it was almost moribund, very inactive.
Mr. DULLES - Which committee was that, the committee to stimulate letters between Russia and the United States?
Mr. PAINE - Yes; to find names and addresses on each side to connect people together.
Mr. LIEBELER - Did you yourself ever take part in any activity of that group?
Mr. PAINE - No; I didn't.
Mr. LIEBELER - You spoke of the East-West contacts committee as being active in trying to bring a group of Russians to the United States. Did they engage in any activities other than this attempt to bring Russians to the United States that you know of?
Mr. PAINE - That is the only one I know of, yes.
Mr. LIEBELER - Did they succeed in bringing some Russians to the United States?
Mr. PAINE - Yes; they did. They brought three Russians, and then the Russians reciprocated by taking a group of Quakers who knew Russian on a tour of Russia.
Mr. LIEBELER - Were you married to Ruth Hyde Paine at the time these Russian people came to the United States under the auspices of the East-West contacts committee?
Mr. PAINE - I might have been; I don't know.
Mr. LIEBELER - Do you know whether she actively participated in the program to bring the Russians to the United States?
Mr. PAINE - Well, she participated insofar as going to the meetings. I don't believe she did most of the writing to the State Department and what-not to try to arrange clearances and itineraries and things like that, but she was at the meetings at which those things were discussed.
Mr. LIEBELER - Did she ever discuss them with you in any detail?
Mr. PAINE - We, I would often--I went to several of those meetings myself.
Mr. LIEBELER - Do you know the names of any of the Russians who came to the United States in connection with this program?
Mr. PAINE - I might recognize them if I saw them again, but right now the names have escaped me.....

FREDERICK MERRILL, DIPLOMAT, 69, DEAD
December 2, 1974, Page 36
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 —Frederick T. Merrill, who was the State Department's Director of East‐West Contacts from 1956 to 1960 and deputy chief of mission in Rumania from 1960 to 1962, died yesterday of a heart attack in Arlington, Va. He was 69 years old and had lived in Villierstown, County Waterford, Ireland, and Wainscott, L.I., since his retirement in 1965.
Mr. Merrill, who graduated from Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass, and Princeton University, held a master's degree from Columbia University. He had been a researcher for the Foreign Policy Association before joining the Foreign Service in 1940. He served in Algiers and Budapest among other posts, and had been acting United States representative on the United Nations Narcotics Commission.

You seem to think that it is the task of a juror to assume somebody's guilty unless his innocence is proven. If that's the way you think it works, you should never serve on a jury and move to Salem as quickly as possible.

You seem to be assuming a "preponderance of the evidence," standard. This is not reasonable. Is there no penalty for failing to keep the accused alive while in custody? Should I infer nothing from that failure, aside from it preventing the ability to present an adequate defense, even if the defendant wanted to? Shouldn't that failure be prejudicial against the prosecution, in any way beneficial to the late accused?
Neither a defendant or a jury is under any obligation to establish innocence or to attempt or justify acquittal. There is no requirement of the defendant than to answer a criminal charge with a plea and submit to the authority of the court.... show up for court proceedings as ordered but the judge must instruct jury to make no inference of guilt or innocence if a defendant simply observes prosecutors present the state's arguments, witness testimony, and other evidence.
I have only purchased one firearm in my entire life, in 2017, but I have in my home because of that recent purchase, boxes of bullets, gun oil, gun cleaning kit, rifle clips, and various receipts for those purchases from six vendors other than the one from the original firearm purchase. I've yet to ever fire the thing, but it is oiled and loaded with a round in the chamber, next to my bed. Klein's sporting goods evidently did not include a "stripper" clip with the rifle purchase. I proved in 2015 that the postal money order is not suspect, except possibly its one day transit from mailing in Dallas to alleged receipt in Chicago by Klein's.
The revolver was a c.o.d. purchase and the government has provided no evidence of how the deliverer, Railway Express was paid or how or if Oswald was notified that it had arrived in Dallas.... to my understanding, there are only various CT speculative scenarios of how that revolver got from Seaport Traders into Oswald's hands.
The less available than usual "stripper" clip and cartridges found in the TSBD rifle and empty on the floor have never been sourced from a point of sale.
Not understanding where there was a reasonable explanation influencing removal of my reasonable doubt, Driver Whaley and Mrs. Roberts at the rooming house raised more doubts as to their reliability than they eliminated. Mrs. Roberts exhibited no realiable sense of time and her employer, Gladys Johnson described her as a teller of tall tales. Mrs. Roberts' sister Bertha testified of her own recent attempt to partner in an investment with Jack Ruby.
Even aside from the name "Drittal," which no one can retrieve as an actual example of a viable name despite modern resources like SSDI search, ancestry dot com, familysearch dot com, the closes match I could find happens to be the maiden name, "Drittel" of the wife of an NSA officer whose name was John B Hurt.

Hidell was the name of the secretary of the V.P. of the Confederate States of America. The nickname of that V.P, Hidell served under was "little Alec". Males of Oswald's family were named after Gen. Robert E. Lee.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_doubt
...The prosecution in criminal matters typically bears the burden of proof and is required to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. This means that in order for a defendant to be found guilty the case presented by the prosecution must be enough to remove any reasonable doubt in the mind of the jury that the defendant is guilty of the crime with which they are charged. The term "reasonable doubt" can be criticised for having a circular definition. Therefore, jurisdictions reliant on this standard of proof often rely on additional or supplemental measures, such as specific jury directions, which simplify or qualify what is meant by a "reasonable doubt" (see below for examples). The principle for the requirement that a criminal case to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt (as opposed to on the balance of probabilities) can be traced to Blackstone's formulation that "t is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer", i.e. if there is any doubt that a person is guilty, it is better that they be acquitted than to risk an innocent person being convicted....

Thumb1:
The eyewitnesses who identified Oswald and confirmed he was carrying a gun
Mr. BALL. And what did you see the man doing?
Mrs. DAVIS. Well, first off she went to screaming before I had paid too much attention to him, and pointing at him, and he was, what I thought, was emptying the gun.
Mr. BALL. He had a gun in his hand?
Mrs. DAVIS. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Did you see anything else as you heard her screaming?
Mrs. DAVIS. Well, we saw Oswald. We didn't know it was Oswald at the time. We saw that boy cut across the lawn emptying the shells out of the gun.
Mr. BALL. And how was he holding the gun?
Mr. CALLAWAY. We used to say in the Marine Corps in a raised pistol position.
Mr. BALL. What did you see him doing?
Mr. GUINYARD. He came through there running and knocking empty shells out of his pistol and he had it up just like this with his hand.
Mr. BALL. With which hand?
Mr. GUINYARD. With his right hand; just kicking them out.
Mr. BALL. He had it up?
Mr. B.M. PATTERSON, 4635 Hartford Street, Dallas, Texas, currently employed by Wyatt's Cafeteria, 2647 South Lancaster, Dallas, Texas, advised he was present at the used car lot of JOHNNY REYNOLDS' on the afternoon of November 22, 1963.
PATTERSON advised that at approximately 1:30 PM, he was standing on JONNY REYNOLDS' used car lot together with L.J. LEWIS and HAROLD RUSSELL when they heard shots coming from the vicinity of 10th and Patton Avenue, Dallas, Texas. A minute or so later they observed a white male approximately 30 years of age, running south on Patton Avenue, carrying what appeared to be a revolver in his hand and was obviously trying to reload same while running.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you see this man's face that had the gun in his hand?
Mr.REYNOLDS. Very good.
HAROLD RUSSELL, employee, Johnny Reynolds Used Car Lot, 500 Jefferson Street, Dallas, Texas, advised that on the afternoon of November 22, 1963, he was standing on the lot of Reynolds Used Cars together with L.J. LEWIS and PAT PATTERSON, at which time they heard shots come from the vicinity of Patton and Tenth Street, and a few seconds later they observed a young white man running south on Patton Avenue carrying a pistol or revolver which the individual was attempting to either reload or place in his belt line.
Mr. BELIN - All right. Now, you said you saw the man with the gun throw the shells?
Mr. BENAVIDES - Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN - Well, did you see the man empty his gun?
Mr. BENAVIDES - That is what he was doing. He took one out and threw it
Mr. BALL. Which way?
Mrs. MARKHAM. Towards Jefferson, right across that way.
Mr. DULLES. Did he have the pistol in his hand at this time?
Mrs. MARKHAM. He had the gun when I saw him.
Mr. BELIN. Did he have anything in his hand?
Mr. SCOGGINS. He had a pistol in his left hand.
The Police Officers who were confronted with the murdering Oswald.
Mr. McDONALD - My left hand, at this point.
Mr. BALL - And had he withdrawn the pistol
Mr. McDONALD - He was drawing it as I put my hand.
Mr. BALL - From his waist?
Mr. McDONALD - Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. When you saw Oswald's hand by his belt, which hand did you see then?
Mr. WALKER. He had ahold of the handle of it.
Mr. BELIN. Handle of what?
Mr. WALKER. The revolver.
Mr. BELIN. Was there a revolver there?
Mr. WALKER. Yes; there was.
Mr. HUTSON. McDonald was at this time simultaneously trying to hold this person's right hand. Somehow this person moved his right hand to his waist, and I saw a revolver come out, and McDonald was holding on to it with his right hand, and this gun was waving up toward the back of the seat like this.
Oswald even admitted carrying his revolver.
Mr. STERN - Was he asked whether he was carrying a pistol at the time he was in the Texas Theatre?
Mr. BOOKHOUT - Yes; that was brought up. He admitted that he was carrying a pistol at the time he was arrested.
Mr. McCLOY. Was it a sharpshooter's or a marksman's? There are two different types, you know.
Mr. HOSTY. I believe it was a sharpshooter, sir. He then told Captain Fritz that he had been living at 1026 North Beckley, that is in Dallas, Tex., at 1026 North Beckley under the name O. H. Lee and not under his true name.
Oswald admitted that he was present in the Texas School Book Depository Building on the 22d of November 1963, where he had been employed since the 15th of October. Oswald told Captain Fritz that he was a laborer in this building and had access to the entire building. It had offices on the first and second floors with storage on third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors.
Oswald told Captain Fritz that he went to lunch at approximately noon on the 22d of November, ate his lunch in the lunchroom, and had gone and gotten a Coca Cola from the Coca Cola machine to have with his lunch. He claimed that he was in the lunchroom at the time President Kennedy passed the building.
He was asked why he left the School Book Depository that day, and he stated that in all the confusion he was certain that there would be no more work for the rest of the day, that everybody was too upset, there was too much confusion, so he just decided that there would be no work for the rest of the day and so he went home. He got on a bus and went home. He went to his residence on North Beckley, changed his clothes, and then went to a movie.
Captain Fritz asked him if he always carried a pistol when he went to the movie, and he said he carried it because he felt like it. He admitted that he did have a pistol on him at the time of his arrest, in this theatre, in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas. He further admitted that he had resisted arrest and had received a bump and a cut as a result of his resisting of arrest. He then denied that he had killed Officer Tippit or President Kennedy.
Mr. BALL. What did he say?
Mr. FRITZ. He told me he went over and caught a bus and rode the bus to North Beckley near where he lived and went by home and changed clothes and got his pistol and went to the show. I asked him why he took his pistol and he said, "Well, you know about a pistol; I just carried it." Let's see if I asked him anything else right that minute. That is just about it.

Mr Mytton....You omitted the important pat of Dom Benavides testimony....
Mr. BELIN - All right. Now, you said you saw the man with the gun throw the shells?
Mr. BENAVIDES - Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN - Well, did you see the man empty his gun?
Mr. BENAVIDES - That is what he was doing. He took one out and threw it
Mr. BENAVIDES - Then I seen the man turn and walk back to the sidewalk and go on the sidewalk and he walked maybe 5 foot and then kind of stalled. He didn't exactly stop. And he threw one shell and must have took five or six more steps and threw the other shell up, and then he kind of stepped up to a pretty good trot going around the corner.
It should be perfectly clear that the man did NOT unload his revolver in the manner a Smith & Wesson revolver is unloaded.... He unloaded the spent shells ONE- AT - A- TIME .......Whereas the S&W is unloaded by pushing the ejector rod and emptying all shells at once.
-
I haven't seen enough evidence in this thread to acquit Oswald. If I was on a jury I would need a lot more than has been presented here by his defenders.
You seem to think that it is the task of a juror to assume somebody guilty unless his innocence is proven. It that's the way you think it works, you should never serve on a jury and move to Salem as quickly as possible.
LOL!....... Mr Hardaker would probably feel at home in North Korea. A place where if the government says that you've committed a crime ....Then you are guilty and must prove that you are not ( an impossible task)
-
Correct. The police are lying, not Oswald. ::)
Bill, when it's all said and done, these clowns here just can't accept the fact that the cop-killing Oswald got exactly what he deserved.
Correct. The police are lying, not Oswald. ::) There's a huge difference..... Between the police who are charged with working with the evidence and the FACTS, and the accused who may have legitimate reason for keeping information he possesses a secret.
Lee Oswald was trying to keep his status as a government agent a secret. I would remind you that Dulles stated that he would expect an agent to lie, even under oath.
There is no legitimate reason for Henry Wade, the District Attorney to boldly lie and tell reporters that Lee Oswald's prints had been found on the rifle.....
Now then...What was it you were saying about it's ok for the police to lie......
-
Correct. The police are lying, not Oswald. ::)
Bill, when it's all said and done, these clowns here just can't accept the fact that the cop-killing Oswald got exactly what he deserved.
No, (an if-guilty) Oswald deserved the chair and the enormous stress leading up to it... not a surprise attack that left him no time for regrets.

Not only cops, Brewer saw a gun in Oswald's hand and with all the commotion couldn't see where the gun came from, but since the same story is corroborated we know what happened. Now I suppose Brewer lied too, how much BS was going down that day?
Mr. BREWER - Oswald hit McDonald first, and he knocked him to the seat.
Mr. BELIN - Who knocked who?
Mr. BREWER - He knocked McDonald down. McDonald fell against one of the seats. And then real quick he was back up.
Mr. BELIN - When you say he was----
Mr. BREWER - McDonald was back up. He just knocked him down for a second and he was back up. And I jumped off the stage and was walking toward that, and I saw this gun come up and----in Oswald's hand, a gun up in the air.

So, Oswald's daddy, his brother, and himself all had names memorializing CSA army commanding general, Robert E. Lee, Oswald tries to phone a friend from TSBD jail who was an NSA purple principal feeding info daily to McCloy during WWII.
and just happened to put that friend's wife's very rare, maiden name on the revolver order blank to vouch for CSA VP, "little Alec's" secretary, William Hidell !

So, we know for certain Oswald was an LN accused in 1977 in the HSCA investigation attempting to place a call to one John Hurt from the Dallas city jail on the night before Ruby gunned him down in the basement of the same building.
My own opinion about this is not much of an issue. Suprisingly, I am working from WR and HSCA named leads, John Hurt & Lev Aronson and the names on the alleged Tippit murder weapon purchase coupon names, Drittal and Hidell.
Here, John Hurt's wife, a solo cellist, name spelled here remarkably similarly to the last name of the person "vouching for Hidell" in 1963, is reported performing in NYC in the same week in Nov., 1940 as Piatigorsky, and his 1976 obituary in

Mr. BALL. Did you see him before he ran?
Mr. SMITH. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Did you give your name to the police?
Mr. SMITH. No, sir.

At the time, there was a lot of other people angry enough to do what Ruby had the balls to do. He was wrong to take justice into his own hands. And he paid the price for it. I believe that Oswald would have been convicted and fried for his crimes.
In one way, I am glad that Oswald didn't get a chance to experience the attention for very long. However, he did legally have a right to his day in court. The thought that brings closure to me is that LHO is in hell and has to endure for eternity Satan taunting him with the fact that most people don't believe that he was capable of pulling this off all by himself. For someone with his ego that would be hell in itself...

Charles. your post gives an impression Ruby was disgruntled random guy in reaction to Oswald.... Ruby the outraged American gunning down the evil doer, still welcome to date the daughter of any cop in the DPD basement after he was
disarmed and wrestled to the ground. I was in junior high school on November 24, but I picked up on the general reaction of the adults in my life at that time. Ruby was assigned/coerced to be the closer, plain as the noses on our faces. Isn't that what this is still all about?

Mr SPECTER. What was the purpose of Jack Ruby's visiting Kay?
Mr OLSEN. Sometimes he would be mad about something, and mad at an employee, or sometimes he would stop by for breakfast after he closed his club.
Mr SPECTER. Was there ever any romantic connection between Jack Ruby and Kay?
Mr OLSEN. Not to my knowledge.
Mr SPECTER. It was just a cordial relationship which would lead him to stop over and pay her a visit and have breakfast or something to that effect?
Mr OLSEN. Yes.
Mr SPECTER. Was Ruby friendly with many police officers employed by the Dallas Police Department?
Mr OLSEN. Yes, sir.
Mr SPECTER. What were the circumstances surrounding his friendship for police officers?
Mr OLSEN. He seemed to like police officers.
Mr SPECTER. Was there any special reason for his affinity for police officers, or for liking them especially?
Mr OLSEN. No, he Just seemed to be friendly with all of them, wanted to know them.
Mr SPECTER. Did you know Officer J. D. Tippit?
Mr OLSEN. Yes, sir.
Mr SPECTER. Did you know him very well?

Charles, will you agree Chief Curry is grossly understating, (giving perjured testimony) how many officers of his command were personally acquainted with Jack Ruby? What would motivate the Chief to deliberately mislead the American people?http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/curry1.htm
Mr. RANKIN - Did you find out where Jack Ruby was during this showup?
Mr. CURRY - I didn't know Jack Ruby. Actually the first time I saw Jack Ruby to know Jack Ruby was in a bond hearing or I believe it was a bond hearing, and I recognized him sitting at counsel's table.
The impression has been given that a great many-of the Dallas Police Department knew Jack Ruby.
Mr. RANKIN - What is the fact in that regard?
Mr. CURRY - The fact of that as far as I know there are a very small percentage of the Dallas Police Department that knows Jack Ruby.
Mr. RANKIN - Did you make an inquiry to find out?
Mr. CURRY - Yes; I did, yes, sir. And so far as I know most of the men who knew Jack Ruby are men who were assigned to the vice squad of the police department or who had worked the radio patrol district where he had places and in the course----
Mr. RANKIN - How many men would that be?
Mr. CURRY - I am guessing, perhaps 25 men. This is merely a guess on my part.
Mr. RANKIN - How large is your police force?
Mr. CURRY - Approximately 1,200. I would say 1,175 people. I would say less, I believe less than 50 people knew him. From what I have found out since then that he is the type that if he saw a policeman, or he came to his place of business he would probably run up and make himself acquainted with him.
I also have learned since this time he tried to ingratiate himself with any of the news media or any of the reporters who had anything to do, he was always constantly trying to get publicity for his clubs or for himself....

Mr. HUBERT. What was the particular group--who did it consist of?
Mrs. RICH. The police department.
Mr. HUBERT. Are you saying that Jack Ruby told you that when any member of the police department came in, that there was a standing order that you could serve them hard liquor?
Mrs. RICH. That is correct....
Didn't Curry first answer,
....Mr. RANKIN - Did you make an inquiry to find out?
Mr. CURRY - Yes; I did, yes, sir.
Was Curry'd testimony about this actually worth anything? What about your opinion? You give no indication you have any inclination Jack Ruby was handpicked for this "witness tampering," by other hands...
Maybe I am jealous of you, if you do indeed have superior discernment permitting you to accurately determine what is reliable
info and what is not. I also wish I had your confidence, if you are actually better informed than I am always trying to become.

....What hasn’t been shared before is what Nelson said happened just before the shooting and then in the immediate aftermath.
According to Nelson, right before Oswald was brought to the basement, a Dallas Police decoy car was brought to the basement and plain clothes cops were put inside the car to distract the media from the real transfer vehicle.
The decoy car drove up the north ramp, which Nelson said was actually the entry ramp to the basement.
“They drove up the north ramp which was actually the entry ramp into the basement and drove around the block,” Nelson said.
Nelson said the lieutenant driving the decoy car came walking back through his area after parking in the basement again. Nelson said he was positive that Ruby had not passed him to get into the basement.
According to Nelson, Lieutenant Sam Pierce said Ruby walked right by the decoy car and walked down the north ramp into the basement. Shortly after the shooting, however, Nelson was told Dallas Chief of Police Jesse Curry wanted to see him.
When Nelson got to Chief Curry’s office, he saw Lieutenant Pierce was already in the office. The chief told Nelson, “R.C., this isn’t going to be held against you with all the TV cameras that were coming into the basement.”
Nelson thought Chief Curry was implying that Ruby had gotten past him. Nelson said he told the chief that, “You can tell them anything you want, but Ruby didn’t come by me!”...
Charles, have you researched DPD detective Sansone and his ties to Civello in-law Phil Bosco? Sansone killed a man while moonlighting behind the liquor store counter of one of this organized crime crew. Curry was aware of Sansone's reputation, and FBI records indicate the only trust they put in DPD related to their intel about Sansone was in intel sharing with Lt. Jack Revill.

...and Charles, Irv Kupcinet just happened to write a column in Chicago Sun-Times with Ruby life-long buddy Jimmy Colitz who co-owned the Clover Bar next to the offices in the Sherman Hotel of that Hotel group. The president of the Hotel Group was Pat Hoy, directly linked to Tony Accardo's #2, Gus Alex. In 1958, Howard Willens's father Joseph moved himself and Willens's mom into the residence directly adjacent to Accardo's resident in River Forest, IL. Read the Warren Report.
WC Asst. Counsel BrianJenner Jr was personal lawyer of Henry Crown, who hired Pat Hoy to be a General Dynamics V.P.
Howard Willens testified to HSCA he not only made the decision to end the WC investigation of Jack Ruby, he also was responsible for structuring the areas of the WC each Asst. Counsel was responsible for. I'll leave it to you to research the investigative responsibilities BrianJenner was assigned to conduct.
Irv Kupcinet and his wife Essie spent a portion of ever evening from 1943 to early 2000s in "Booth 1" of the Pump Room restaurant in the Ambassador East Hotel in Chocago. Patrick Hoy had risen from Maitre D of that room to President of the group. His boss was Ernest L Byfield. After Byfield died in 1950, Ernie Jr. represented the owners of the Hotel group as chairman. Ernie Jr's mom just happened to be JFK's Glen Ora weekend White House landlady from Nov., 1960 until spring, 1963.
Ernie Jr's wife's (Vala Osterman) sister was wife of Placido Eversun, business partner/first cousin of Rionda and George Braga.
Ernie Jr's second wife, Diana, married elderly JFK defense secretary Robert S McNamara shortly after Ernie Jr. died.

Kup vs. JFK
Chronicle of a Columnist's Obsession
By Jim Kielty Year In Review archives »
December 24, 1992 NEWS & POLITICS | YEAR IN REVIEW
In an essay on the Oliver Stone film JFK, published a month after his laudatory review in the Sun-Times, Roger Ebert wrote: "Never in my years as a newspaperman have I seen one subject pummeled so mercilessly and joylessly as this movie that questions the official wisdom on the assassination of John F. Kennedy."
Ebert didn't have to look far to find the chief Chicago-area pummeler: his Sun-Times colleague Irv Kupcinet has repeatedly used his column to flail JFK, Oliver Stone, and anyone else who has dared to challenge the findings of the Warren Commission report.
Between December 17 of last year, when he first reviewed JFK as the lead item in his column, and May 22 of this year, when the Sun-Times reviewed the home video version (and I stopped counting), Kup ran more than two dozen items on Stone, his film, and other Kennedy assassination subjects. He also called for the opening of sealed government files on the assassination, venturing that the information contained therein will put an end to "far-fetched conspiracy theories," by which he seems to mean anything other than the Warren Commission report.....

I guess the post above just blew by and no one gets it. More concerned with piddly poop and bickering than with facts....
Mr. BALL. Did something happen a little after 1 o'clock there that day that you noticed?
Mr. SMITH. Yes, sir; policeman got shot.
Mr. BALL. Now, at the time the policeman was shot, where were you?
Mr. SMITH. In the front yard, at 505 East 10th.
Fact...Smith was some nearly 400 ft away from the Tippit shooting. How could he identify anyone from that far away? Really great eyes huh?
408 E 10th St
Dallas, TX 75203
Head northeast on E 10th St toward N Denver St
Destination will be on the left
397 ft
505 E 10th St
Dallas, TX 75203---google maps
Smith ..saw the [the policeman] falling and the [shooter] running away at the same time? Maybe there was more than one shooter after all.
Interesting that the FBI located him and his buddy Jimmy Burt.
JIMMY EARL BURT, General Delivery stated that on November 22, 1963 he was living at 505 E. 10th Street, Dallas, Texas which is the residence of his father—in—law, DAVID SHAEFER. He and a friend WILLIAM SMITH were sitting in his brother, BILLY BURT's house located at the corner of 9th and Denver Streets, Dallas. It was some time after lunch when they heard two gunshots. He and SMITH immediately ran from the house toward his car, a 1952 two—tone blue Ford which was parked facing south on Denver Street. As they ran from the house they heard four more shots making a total of six. BURT Said he drove his car to the next intersection which is Denver and 10th Streets and turned west on 10th. He immediately saw a police car parked at the curb in the middle of the block. It was parked facing east on 10th Street. A police officer was lying on the street near the left front wheel. BURT later recognized him as being an officer who frequented that neighborhood. This particular officer was known by the name "Friendly" to the residents of that area.
BURT parked his car in front of the police car on the same side of the street with the front end facing the west. He and SMITH jumped out of the car and as they did so he looked west on 10th Street. At that moment he caught a glimpse of a man running on the sidewalk on the south side of the street. The man at this point had reached the intersection of 10th and Patton Streets. He described this man as a white male, approximately 5'8". He was wearing a light colored short jacket. BURT stated he could not describe the man further as he was never closer than 50 to 60 yards from the man. He said at one point he did notice the man had a pistol in his right hand. Although he is familiar with hand weapons he said that because of the distance he could not describe the pistol. At the intersection of 10th and Patton Streets the man ran south on Patton Street. BURT said he ran to the intersection of 10th and Patton and when he was close enough to Patton Street to see to the south he saw the man running into an alley located between 10th and Jefferson Avenue on Patton Street. The man ran in the alley to the right and would be running west at this point.
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/burt.htm
I have often read that this was not Tippit's regular beat. Why did Tippit 'frequent the neighborhood'? Sources said that he had a girlfriend who lived nearby.
Burt and Smith hopped into a car and drove to the shooting site? Wow...too lazy to run? And they still managed to park the car next to the squad car and see the shooter [or one of the shooters] still running away from the scene? I would say that this was impossible.
Burt said he heard a total of six shots. Think his ears were as good as his eyes?
-
Up until recently the chances of taking prints off a spent shell was practically impossible but the bullet recovered from within the rifle could have a print that is if Oswald wasn't wearing gloves or he didn't smear the print.

Here's another witness who said the killer's hair was different than Lee Oswald's....
Mr. BALL. Now, did you see Oswald on television?
Mr. SMITH. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. On the night of the shooting?
Mr. SMITH. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Did it appear to you to be the same man you had seen?
Mr. SMITH. He had lighter hair than he did when I saw him.
Mr. BALL. Well, now, wait a minute. You mean the man you saw on television----
Mr. SMITH. Had lighter hair.
Mr. BALL. Mr. Smith--than the man you saw running away?
Mr. SMITH. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Is that right?
Mr. SMITH. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. What color hair did the man have that you saw running away?
Mr. SMITH. Brown, brownish-black. It was dark.
So Helen Markham said Tippit's killer hair was different than lee Oswald's.....And Dom Benavides said the man's hair was different than Lee Oswald's, and here's Mr Smith telling Ball that the man's hair was different than Lee Oswald's....

The burning question is:..... Was the murder of Tippit, plan "B" which was designed to get the Patsy ( Lee Oswald) shot and killed by an angry cop ???
OR ...Was the murder of Tippit merely co-incidental .... And Tippit just happened to stumble upon a desperate fugitive who was a cold blooded killer who was an expert with a revolver. ????

Alright, now this inquiry I've only so far presented on this page, gets curiouser and curiouser.

Mr. BALL. And did you think when he showed you the picture that it looked anything like the man you had seen running away?

Mr. BALL. This is Commission's Exhibit 162, a grey, zippered jacket. Have you ever seen this before?
Mr. SMITH. Yes, sir; that looks like what he had on. A jacket.
Mr. BALL. That is the jacket he had on?
Mr. SMITH. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Now, when the deposition is completed it will be written up and you will have a right to look it over and sign it, or if you want to you can waive your signature. They will accept your waiver and send it on to the Commission without it. Do you have any choice on that?
Mr. SMITH. I will sign it. It don't make any difference to me.
Mr. BALL. Would you just as leave waive your signature?

Rating aggravating circumstances that in the aggregate, indicated corrupted intent of WC, DPD, FBI in what officials stated and published, vs actual evidence.
One to Ten rating assigned to each step or development after DPD Officer JD Tippit was shot and killed within one hour of the Assassination of JFK.
Merely suspicious details not yet assigned severity rating.
10. Suspect Oswald shot and mortally wounded in DPD basement, surrounded by DPD officers and while handcuffed to one detective escorting him.
Jack Ruby, known to many DPD officers "escaped notice" as he entered the DPD basement, made his way to Oswald, pulled his revolver shooting Oswald at point blank range.
9. The FBI reported receiving anonymous letter in 2nd week of December, 1963, stating FNU Smith said Oswald was not the shooter of JD Tippit and address 328-1/2 East Eighth St.
Harry Olsen, a DPD officer, whose fiance was employed by Ruby for 28 months, and another DPD officer he claimed not to remember identity of, were described
by Olsen providing 24 hour security at an "estate" at unstated East 8th St. address in close proximity to address of Tippit shooting witness William Arthur Smith.
No additional details were provided by Olsen, save for an admission he and his fiance spent some minutes conversing with Ruby about 12 hours after Tippit shot.
Smith was an admitted felon on probation and his friend observing the Tippit shooting with him was an AWOL US serviceman. Smith, a friend of son of Tippit shooting witness, Mrs. Markham, claimed he discussed the shooting with her very soon after.
Despite DPD's Olsen admitting spending that day in close proximity to the address included in the anonymous tip, save for naming FNU Smith with the address FBI reported interviewing witness Smith's father, prompted by the identical address being described in the anonymous tip, witness Smith failing to come forward to report witnessing DPD's Tippit's shooting, Mrs. Markham failing to mention to investigators her post shooting conversation with Smith, and the FBI's own confusion about Smith and his family residing at 328-1/2 8th St., an unusual street address number identical to Mrs. Markham's address on East Ninth, the FBI seems to have conducted no further follow-up in reaction to the anonymous tip saying FNU Smith, 328-1/2 East 8th, influenced the letter writer to share with the tip with FBI that Oswald was not the shooter of Tippit, the WC testimony of witness Smith was published in the WR stating Smith testified his street address was 328-1/2 East Davis. DPD Chief Curry testified he had looked into how many DPD officers under him were acquainted with and interacted with Jack Ruby, then contradicted himself about the results of that inquiry, offering only reassurance there were not many.
Troubling and suspicious examples. Trust and cooperation between DPD and FBI began to erode by the morning after the JFK and Tippit shootings, cemented a day later in reaction by the FBI to the shooting of Oswald by Ruby in the DPD's basement. The DPD developed valid suspicion of the FBI's awareness of and relationship with Oswald before November 22. The circumstances of the arrest of Oswald at the Texas Theatre were controversial and Harry Olsen, who had moved to Long Beach with his fiance by February, 1964, said during a 1967 interview DPD Det. Gerry Hill was probably the closest to Ruby of all of Chief Curry's officers, changing the description of the East 8th St. location he was guarding at the time Tippit was shot from 'an estate," to a "ramshackle house". Det. Gerry Hill was associated with recovery of empty revolver husks at Tippit shooting scene, as was witness Virginia Davis who misrepresented her age to DPD and months later, to the WC. Key witness William Whaley told the press he had been awarded the Navy's highest combat award, had moved his own age to three years older sometime after filing his military draft registration in 1942, and abandoned his first-born son and namesake. Mary Bledsoe, a witness who described encountering Oswald on a city bus just before he approached William Whaley for a taxi ride away from the JFK shooting scene. Mary Bledsoe had an aunt identical to the aunt of notorious Dallas underworld figure and a JFK Assassination subject in his own rite, Russell Douglas Matthews.
DPD claimed after taking Oswald into custody and searching him, he was permitted to moved around the DPD, allegedly in possession of several loaded rounds
of the Tippit shooting revolver.

9. The FBI reported receiving anonymous letter in 2nd week of December, 1963, stating FNU Smith said Oswald was not the shooter of JD Tippit and address 328-1/2 East Eighth St.
Harry Olsen, a DPD officer, whose fiance was employed by Ruby for 28 months, and another DPD officer he claimed not to remember identity of, were described
by Olsen providing 24 hour security at an "estate" at unstated East 8th St. address in close proximity to address of Tippit shooting witness William Arthur Smith.
No additional details were provided by Olsen, save for an admission he and his fiance spent some minutes conversing with Ruby about 12 hours after Tippit shot.
Smith was an admitted felon on probation and his friend observing the Tippit shooting with him was an AWOL US serviceman. Smith, a friend of son of Tippit shooting witness, Mrs. Markham, claimed he discussed the shooting with her very soon after.
Despite DPD's Olsen admitting spending that day in close proximity to the address included in the anonymous tip, save for naming FNU Smith with the address FBI reported interviewing witness Smith's father, prompted by the identical address being described in the anonymous tip, witness Smith failing to come forward to report witnessing DPD's Tippit's shooting, Mrs. Markham failing to mention to investigators her post shooting conversation with Smith, and the FBI's own confusion about Smith and his family residing at 328-1/2 8th St., an unusual street address number identical to Mrs. Markham's address on East Ninth, the FBI seems to have conducted no further follow-up in reaction to the anonymous tip saying FNU Smith, 328-1/2 East 8th, influenced the letter writer to share with the tip with FBI that Oswald was not the shooter of Tippit, the WC testimony of witness Smith was published in the WR stating Smith testified his street address was 328-1/2 East Davis. DPD Chief Curry testified he had looked into how many DPD officers under him were acquainted with and interacted with Jack Ruby, then contradicted himself about the results of that inquiry, offering only reassurance there were not many.
Troubling and suspicious examples. Trust and cooperation between DPD and FBI began to erode by the morning after the JFK and Tippit shootings, cemented a day later in reaction by the FBI to the shooting of Oswald by Ruby in the DPD's basement. The DPD developed valid suspicion of the FBI's awareness of and relationship with Oswald before November 22. The circumstances of the arrest of Oswald at the Texas Theatre were controversial and Harry Olsen, who had moved to Long Beach with his fiance by February, 1964, said during a 1967 interview DPD Det. Gerry Hill was probably the closest to Ruby of all of Chief Curry's officers, changing the description of the East 8th St. location he was guarding at the time Tippit was shot from 'an estate," to a "ramshackle house". Det. Gerry Hill was associated with recovery of empty revolver husks at Tippit shooting scene, as was witness Virginia Davis who misrepresented her age to DPD and months later, to the WC. Key witness William Whaley told the press he had been awarded the Navy's highest combat award, had moved his own age to three years older sometime after filing his military draft registration in 1942, and abandoned his first-born son and namesake. Mary Bledsoe, a witness who described encountering Oswald on a city bus just before he approached William Whaley for a taxi ride away from the JFK shooting scene. Mary Bledsoe had an aunt identical to the aunt of notorious Dallas underworld figure and a JFK Assassination subject in his own rite, Russell Douglas Matthews.
DPD claimed after taking Oswald into custody and searching him, he was permitted to moved around the DPD, allegedly in possession of several loaded rounds
of the Tippit shooting revolver.
this smells, it REEKS OF OFFICIAL OBSTRUCTION!
Yes indeed it does.... But that shouldn't be a surprise to you.... You should have concluded long ago that the FBI was NOT looking for evidence that would contradict their ( Hoover's ) official tale, that Lee Harrrrrvey Osssswald was a no good commie rat who deserved to be lynched without a chance to prove his innocence.
Thank you for posting the FBI memo in which William Arthur Smith told the FBI agents James J. Ward and Robert E. Basham, that he witnessed the murder of officer Tippit and the killer was NOT Lee Oswald.

Tom, are you too damned dumb to realize that William Arthur Smith moved around frequently.... In April of 1964 he was residing with his mother at 328 1/2 East Davis....but in November of 1963 he was living with his buddy Jimmy Burt ...on 8th street.

Walt and Peter post that this is Tom Scully's fault. Tom Scully is obviously flawed because he is unwilling to simply post unsupported BS.
In late 1964, it looks like William Arthur Smith's parents moved from 328-1/2 East Eighth St. to East Ninth St., after never ever residing at any address on
East Davis Street.

I'm sorry Tom, you are so sensitive and I should have offered a tissue.
Emotionally weak? Lighten up!

Oh! I forgot you claimed to be open-minded. Do you realize you surround yourself with sources who are subjective?
Maybe you could challenge yourself instead of being a feeble-minded lapdog. You are not very persuasive.
Tell me more about your unsuccessful attempt to be open-minded.

Scully, says that he can't reach a conclusion.... He's been researching this case for a long time but he can't conclude ....He's says he's "open minded". Is that the same as being too cowardly to face the truth?
The important point in his post is the fact that William Smith told the FBI that he witnessed the murder of officer Tippit and the murderer was NOT lee Oswald. But Scully can't focus on this fact....instead he feels he needs run around in circles trying to figger out which address is correct.

Again, Walt, if one is not open (receptive) to pursuit and then consideration of verifiable facts and to following them where they actually lead, your "cowardly" opinion of me might be understandable. Ironically, your irritation in reaction to me, my approach to research and the results I present is entirely misdirected. Save it for Jim Garrison and his wife's relative, Nicholas B. Lemann, and to a lesser extent, Garrison's biography editor and co-screenplay writer of "JFK, the movie," Zachary Sklar, who was "mugged" by both Garrison and Lemann.
Example: This is "in the face" of "the Community" because I stumbled upon it while trying to verify if what I had found through my research in early 2016 was an original "find," or not. I was researching Clay Shaw's first known "CIA hire," David G. Baldwin III. His 1945 wedding announcement informed me his mother was Adele Ziegler Baldwin, aka, Mrs. Harry Raworth. And it has turned out, with the benefit of 40 months of hindsight, now, that "the Community" didn't really want to know the verifiable facts, Thank You Very Much!

Tom S. - April 14, 2016 at 1:58 am
Bogman,
Thank you, but I am not saying Garrison had a choice. As the late Tom Purvis posted on the Ed Forum, there
were people in NOLA as in every other city, people who determined who would be supported in campaigns for political office. Garrison had no option other than to do what he was told if he wished to be reelected or
aspire to higher office. How accurate is it to as much as say that the Garrison investigation ruined his
personal and political life? He had a steady mistress long before his divorce, married her soon after divorcing David and Edward Baldwin’s first cousin Leigh aka Lee Elizabeth Ziegler, and ended up with her again near the last months of his life. His unfaithfulness can reasonably be blamed for his personal life
fallout. He won reelection soon after the Shaw acquittal, his next campaign was thwarted by the federal prosecution, which he beat. If there was an Op….a sham assassination investigation and prosecution of Shaw, it can reasonably be assumed the DOJ was not read in by the local powers that be and their allied individuals in CIA and or MIC, IOW, the people behind the assassination who decided a sham investigation limited hang out was the next scene in the script….and Garrison ended up a well respected judge.
The majority of lawyers in NOLA or in most cities would have been willing to live his life, given the choice, taking the good with the bad, even without the book deal and the attention of Oliver Stone and his
movie.
I found something that Donald H Carpenter happened upon just before I did, and included it but buried it in
his book. It does not mesh with the two decades long, anti-Garrison campaign of Nicholas B Lemann, nor with Stone’s movie, and it was Joan Mellen who named Garrison’s wife’s cousins, one of which was Mrs. Garrison’s godfather, and declared to Rex Bradford, “these are the CIA people.” Ms. Mellen left at that. DiEugenio has been informed and has buried his head in the sand. Shaw was told about Garrison’s conflict from the godfather/cousin himself, David Baldwin who Shaw hired fresh from his dismissal from CIA in India where he was serving as a covert agent. Shaw never raised this as an issue, and neither did Garrison.
Ironically, Garrison and Ms. Mellen’s “CIA people” appear to have had the ability to settle their differences after a family Thanksgiving gathering, if they actually did have differences and were not all following instructions to perform a limited hangout.
I think every fair appraiser of what I am laying out should attempt to explain it all away, but attempt
to cover all we now know, including the non-disclosure of Shaw through his lawyers to the court, and Garrison to his book editor Zachary Sklar, coscreenplay writer of the movie script. How did Nicholas B Lemann know from 1974 that he could repeatedly attack and ridicule Garrison with no reaction?
No one likes it, but the best explanation that covers all the bases and considers that Garrison wrecked his
own marriage independently of the investigation and the appearances of its toll on him and his family, and
did not suffer the loss of his career, he went on to even higher office than NODA, and also accounts for his
deceiving Mellen, Sklar, Stone, and possibly Davy and DiEugenio, is that Garrison and Shaw were following
directives they decided they could not refuse, issued by those with the most to lose in late 1966 if an investigation by federal politicians had garnered enough support. It is reasonable to say that the Garrison investigation and prosecution of Shaw delayed the start of a congressional committee investigation by five or more years and Nicholas B Lemann was just one of several who made the idea of the need or stature of the HSCA investigation look almost as absurd as Garrison’s was presented as.
Bogman, Joan Mellen stated that she interviewed at least 1200 people related to the effort to assemble
her book, and the question is did she have an advantage in knowing Garrison quite well since just after the
Shaw trial verdict. In my experience and opinion, the current body of knowledge, and my point about how she described David Baldwin and his brother Edward to Rex Bradford, the answer is no. Her long relationship with Garrison seems to have kept her from discovering what I found that goes deeper than her assessment of the Baldwin brothers, in just a few week’s time, without leaving me house or interviewing anyone. DiEugenio went to NOLA and interviewed Shaw’s trial defense lawyer, Dymond, I think it was.
I discern what has happened by what those who seem the most thorough publish or present. I compare the details sourced from them to what I find on my own. I’m not in bed with this story. I viewed Stone’s movie
for the first time, last fall. I was looking into the background of Ed Butler in January, noticed Jesse Core, and it went from there. I think I’ve examined and appraised what actually happened, influenced little
by Stone, Prouty, Garrison, Mellen, Davy, or DiEugenio. My only formal exposure is a recent viewing of Stone’s film and skimming through DiEugenio’s revised version of Destiny Betrayed in late 2013.
I didn’t have to revise or rethink much because I was close to arm’s length from the Garrison legend.
I did not view, "JFK, the movie" until 2013.:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/arm%27s%20length
Arm's length definition is - a distance discouraging personal contact or familiarity.
Walt, second time informing you, you are mistaken here, as well.:

(For some reason, the FBI agents also noted that Smith "advised that he did not have any relatives in New Mexico...." The New Mexico connection was not explained.)....
My research solved this at least eleven years old question, just this week. This is the only document, so far, that answers the question why FBI suddenly questioned Arthur T Smith of 328-1/2 East Eighth Street, and then his son William Arthur Smith, who was on probation for a car theft offense and wanted no contact with law enforcement about what he and the mother of his friend, Jimmy Markham had witnessed.
Walt, I found your reply unproductive, almost to the degree of deliberately distracting from the core point of the original research in my multi-post presentation, making your reply unproductive, even if your intent was not to distract or to be condescending (i.e., a "dick") in your tone. I find NEW things ( Sorry Brian, Jean, and DVP, Banks Did Not Key-Punch 1963 P.O. Money Orders (https://web.archive.org/web/20170806231323/http://www.jfk.education/node/11) )

A reason the document in the image above was not found until this week was because the WC testimony of William Arthur Smith transcribed what he testified his address was as "East Davis" instead of East Eighth, and one effect of this was taking attention away from the absurd WC testimony of DPD's Harry Olsen.

Mr SPECTER. Do you recall the specific address or the cross street on which it was located?
Mr OLSEN. It's in the Oak Cliff area, it's approximately two blocks off of Stemmons.

Two prevaricators bashing me. Good one!
Walt, before John Iacoletti beats me to it, you made that up.... pulled it out your butt, still shiny and steaming....
Walt is claiming:
Helen Markham address, 328-1/2 East Ninth Street
William Arthur Smith address, 328-1/2 East Eighth Street, until some imaginary date, Smith's address changed to:
"In April of 1964 he was residing with his mother at 328 1/2 East Davis"
FBI reports, December, 1963:
Arthur T Smith, wife Eloise, and son William Arthur Smith address, 328-1/2 East Eighth Street

and https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=10672&relPageId=246&search=arthur
Peter is a Trump apologist.
Walt and Peter are not required to post links supporting any of their posted claims. No evidence exists supporting Arthur T Smith, his wife Eloise, or their son, William Arthur Smith, ever living on "East Davis".
Walt and Peter post that this is Tom Scully's fault. Tom Scully is obviously flawed because he is unwilling to simply post unsupported BS.
In late 1964, it looks like William Arthur Smith's parents moved from 328-1/2 East Eighth St. to East Ninth St., after never ever residing at any address on
East Davis Street.

Walt is claiming:

Scully yer FOS!.... I'm making no such claim.... I don't give a big RA what address Smith supposedly gave.... I only care about the FACY that Smith said that he witnessed the murder of Tippit, and the killer was NOT Lee Oswald. Do you need some help to extract your head?

Walt, settle down. Is your post just another diversion? I am unaware it is disputed that Helen Markham resided at 328-1/2 East Ninth.
I thought my point is obvious. You posted that William Arthur Smith moved "with his mother," to 328-1/2 East Davis. Two FBI reports, including the Dec. 13, 1963 interview of William Arthur Smith, state that Smith, and his father Arthur resided at 328-1/2 East Eighth. 1964 Dallas City directorsy displays "Arthur T (Eloise) 328-1/2 East Eighth....
Tom, are you too damned dumb to realize that William Arthur Smith moved around frequently.... In April of 1964 he was residing with his mother at 328 1/2 East Davis....but in November of 1963 he was living with his buddy Jimmy Burt ...on 8th street. Smith was obviously a petty criminal who moved around frequently to keep ahead of the police.
Walt, no document you are able to present supports that William A. Smith ever resided at any address on East Davis, nevermind at 328-1/2, which I do not
identify as a "thing" in any Dallas street directory. The sole "East Davis" link to witness Smith is what I believe to be a WC testimony transcription error, inadvertent, or contrived.
Spelling it out again for you, Walt...the odds are astronomical against there actually being three DISTINCT "328-1/2" addresses of two Tippit shooting witnesses who also happened to know reach other. Two 328-1/2 addresses is a stretch, but not quite as crazy as what your post inferred or necessitated. I had hoped by holding up the "328-1/2 East Davis" claim you posted, alongside the two documented 328-1/2 addresses, it would influence you to reconsider the challenges to making that a reasonable thing to think or to post.

WHO CARES what addresses are listed in the documents... The salient point is:.... Billy Smith told the FBI that he witnessed the murder of J.D. Tippit , and the man that he saw shoot Tippit had DARK hair and he was NOT Lee Oswald.

Armstrong, Westbrook and the details. 1 2
By Jake Hammond, Tuesday at 11:08 AM
Experienced researchers on the Ed Forum more than eleven years ago prove my point now. There had been nothing they could find in the WCR answering the question why the FBI, in December, 1963 sought out Arthur T. Smith and his son William Arthur Smith, or why the FBI linked the inquiry of the Smiths to New Mexico.
This supports the observation that the WC, DPD, and FBI chose to distract from Harry Olsen's curiously incomplete testimony related to "Eighth Street", or fate randomly handed W.A. Smith's "East Davis" testimony, distracting from Olsen's, a convenient distraction to those who could have pressed Harry Olsen to be much more forthcoming, investigators who demonstrated no inclination to do so.

Walt, my post is the last one in this two page thread, 8 years and 5 months ago. 3 years before, Duke Lane posted this.:

(For some reason, the FBI agents also noted that Smith "advised that he did not have any relatives in New Mexico...." The New Mexico connection was not explained.)....
My research solved this at least eleven years old question, just this week. This is the only document, so far, that answers the question why FBI suddenly questioned Arthur T Smith of 328-1/2 East Eighth Street, and then his son William Arthur Smith, who was on probation for a car theft offense and wanted no contact with law enforcement about what he and the mother of his friend, Jimmy Markham had witnessed.

Mr SPECTER. Tell me, as specifically as you can recollect, exactly what your activities were on that day.
Mr OLSEN. I was employed by the Dallas Police Department and I was working at an extra job guarding an estate.
Mr SPECTER. Whose estate was that?
Mr OLSEN. I don't remember the name.
Mr SPECTER. How did you happen to get that extra job?
Mr OLSEN. A motorcycle officer was related to this elderly woman and he was doing work, but he was in the motor----
Mr SPECTER. Cade?
Mr OLSEN. Motorcade of the President, and I was off that day and able to work it.

Again, Walt, if one is not open (receptive) to pursuit and then consideration of verifiable facts and to following them where they actually lead, your "cowardly" opinion of me might be understandable. Ironically, your irritation in reaction to me, my approach to research and the results I present is entirely misdirected. Save it for Jim Garrison and his wife's relative, Nicholas B. Lemann, and to a lesser extent, Garrison's biography editor and co-screenplay writer of "JFK, the movie," Zachary Sklar, who was "mugged" by both Garrison and Lemann.
Example: This is "in the face" of "the Community" because I stumbled upon it while trying to verify if what I had found through my research in early 2016 was an original "find," or not. I was researching Clay Shaw's first known "CIA hire," David G. Baldwin III. His 1945 wedding announcement informed me his mother was Adele Ziegler Baldwin, aka, Mrs. Harry Raworth. And it has turned out, with the benefit of 40 months of hindsight, now, that "the Community" didn't really want to know the verifiable facts, Thank You Very Much!

In the course of attempting to determine if my new fact checked research details were actually original, I found identical details, by author of a biography of Clay Shaw,
Donald H Carpenter.

Cite for Bill Smith living with Jimmy Burt.

Scully, says that he can't reach a conclusion.... He's been researching this case for a long time but he can't conclude ....He's says he's "open minded". Is that the same as being too cowardly to face the truth?
The important point in his post is the fact that William Smith told the FBI that he witnessed the murder of officer Tippit and the murderer was NOT lee Oswald. But Scully can't focus on this fact....instead he feels he needs run around in circles trying to figger out which address is correct.
There is no documentation quoting Bill Smith saying that the killer was NOT Oswald.

Ted Callaway testified that after hearing the five gun shots, he ran out to the sidewalk on Patton. This was a little over a half block south of the shooting scene. Callaway saw a man (who he later identified as Oswald) cutting across Patton as he (Oswald) made his way south on Patton (towards Callaway's position). Callaway hollered out to the man as the man continued south on Patton past Callaway's position. Callaway testified that the man was running and holding a gun. Callaway saw the man head west on Jefferson (the same direction as the theater).
Once the man turned west onto Jefferson, Callaway ran a "good hard run" up to the corner of Tenth and Patton. Callaway, noticing the stopped patrol car, went to the car and saw the officer (Tippit) lying dead in the street. Callaway said the first thing he did was to grab the police car radio and report the shooting. He said he didn't know if anyone had reported it yet, so he decided to report it himself.
To recap, Callaway hears the shots. Runs to the sidewalk. Sees the gunman run south on Patton the entire block from Tenth to Jefferson. Runs the two-thirds of a block up to the shooting scene. Goes over to the police car and the first thing he does is grab the radio and report the shooting to the police dispatcher.
How much time do you believe passed from the time Callaway heard the shots to the time he reported the shooting on the police radio?
Let's say two minutes pass from the time Oswald shoots Tippit to the time Oswald turns the corner from Patton onto Jefferson. This is a little over one block and Oswald was running.
Let's say it takes Callaway one minute when he made the "good hard run" the two-thirds of a half block from his location to the patrol car.
If these two time estimates are anywhere close to being correct, then Callaway is at the patrol car roughly three minutes after the shots rang out. Let's add another full minute for error. So we have Callaway at the patrol car using the police radio about four minutes after the shots rang out.
Here's the thing... Callaway's report to the dispatcher while using the patrol car radio took place at 1:19/1:20.
Do the math and work it backwards. At 1:19/1:20, Callaway makes the call. If four minutes have passed (and that's being generous, in my opinion) since the shots rang out, then the shots rang out around 1:15.

Then you should have no problem explaining how could so many witnesses observed so many things but not one of them sees a wallet,
and yet Cpt. Westbrook shows up out of nowhere with a wallet in his hand. The same Westbrook who finds a jacket,
the same Westbrook shows up at the Theater, the same Westbrook who never tells the same story twice.

And you know this is accurate...how? Or any of your other time estimates for that matter...
He relies completely on the DPD radio transcripts being correct and ignores what J.C. Bowles, who was in charge of the DPD dispatchers, had to say on the subject.
Two quotes from the same page: http://www.jfk-online.com/bowles1.html#set
A master clock on the telephone room wall was connected to the City Hall system. This clock reported "official" time. Within the dispatcher's office there were numerous other time giving and time recording devices, both in the telephone room and in the radio room. Telephone operators and radio operators were furnished "Simplex" clocks. Because the hands often worked loose, they indicated the incorrect time. However, their purpose was to stamp the time, day and date on incoming calls. While they were reliable at this, they were not synchronized as stated in the Committee report. Therefore, it was not uncommon for the time stamped on calls to be a minute to two ahead or behind the "official" time shown on the master clock. Accordingly, at "exactly" 10:10, various clocks could be stamping from 10:08 to 10:12, for example. When clocks were as much as a minute or so out of synchronization it was normal procedure to make the needed adjustments. During busy periods this was not readily done.
There is no way to connect "police time" with "real time." The Committee Report stated that the Dallas Police Communications system was recorded by continuously operating recorders. That statement is incorrect. Channel 1 was recorded on a Dictaphone A2TC, Model 5, belt or loop recorder. Channel 2 was recorded on a Gray "Audograph" flat disk recorder. Both were duplex units with one recording and one on standby for when the other unit contained a full recording. Both units were sound activated. It is important to note "sound" rather than "voice" because either sound or noise from any source, received through the transmission line, would activate the recorders. Once activated, the recorders remained "on" for the duration of the activating sound plus 4 seconds. The four second delay permitted brief pauses or answers to questions without the relay mechanism being overworked. On occasion, the recorders would operate almost continuously because rapid radio traffic kept them operating. On November 22, 1963, the Channel 1 recorders became, for practical purposes, continuous recorders for just over five minutes starting at approximately 12:29 pm (Channel 1 time) because the microphone on a police motorcycle stuck in the "on" position. The resulting continuous transmission kept the Channel 1 recorders operating for just over five minutes thus giving us a real-time recording for that period. The only problem was determining a basis for an accurate time reference during that period.
Spoken time stamps that could be two minutes ahead or behind the "official" time (whatever that is), recorded on voice activated devices do not provide a solid basis for preparing accurate transcripts.

"The number 2 man in the line up that I saw at City Hall is the man I saw with the gun in his hand." -- Ted Callaway (Affidavit, 11/22/63)
Jim Leavelle testified that he took the affidavits WHILE they were waiting for the line up to start.....
Mr. LEAVELLE. I know they were on two different showups, so it is quite possible.
Mr. BALL. Who conducted the questions of the men in the showup?
Mr. LEAVELLE. I would think I would have been--the same line.
Mr. BALL. Do you know what Ted Callaway said?
Mr. LEAVELLE. Not per se; I know they were able to identify Oswald.
Mr. BALL. What was the substance of what he said?
Mr. LEAVELLE. I do not recall.
Mr. BALL. You say "identify"; that doesn't mean much to me because I don't know what he identified him as.
Mr. LEAVELLE. He said he was the man; he identified him as the man he saw running from the direction where the shots came from over in the Oak Cliff area near his carlot.
Mr. BALL. What about Sam Guinyard?
Mr. LEAVELLE. Same thing, practically.
Mr. BALL. Did you take statements from them?
Mr. LEAVELLE. I believe I took affidavits from them, according to my notes, there while we were waiting for them to come down.
So Mr Callaway knew which guy he was going to pick before he ever saw him?
Also asked before ...If Callaway saw the shooter pass by him--then why did he ask the cab driver which way the suspect went?
Mr. BENAVIDES - And so Ted then got in the taxicab and the taxicab came to a halt and he asked me which way he went.
Mr. CALLAWAY. We first went into the room. There was Jim Leavelle, the detective, Sam Guinyard, and then this bus driver and myself......and Jim told us, "When I show you these guys, be sure, take your time, see if you can make a positive identification.........We want to be sure, we want to try to wrap him up real tight on killing this officer. We think he is the same one that shot the President. But if we can wrap him up tight on killing this officer, we have got him."
Here was Callaway's big chance to go from a tinhorn used car hack and into history...he would get to identify the assassin of the president! Yeah---we've got him.

TIPPIT SHOOTING, 1:15
Mary Wright stated that she heard the shots and called the police immediately after the shooting. (With Malice, 2013, pg. 136)
Barbara Davis heard the shots and stated that, from the door, she saw a man walking across her front yard unloading a gun. She then heard Helen Markham across the street yelling that a police officer was shot and killed. Davis looked over and saw the police car. Immediately after seeing the police car, she went inside and phoned the operator and reported the shooting to the police. (affidavit, 11/22/63)
L.J. Lewis was at the Johnny Reynolds Motor Company, located one block south of the shooting. He called the police immediately after hearing the gunshots to report a shooting. (affidavit, 8/26/64)
Murray Jackson, the police radio dispatcher, received an alert at 1:16 from the "citizen using the police radio". Upon being told by the citizen that a police man had been shot and that it was near Marsalis, Beckley and Tenth Street, Jackson immediately calls out for "78". After getting no response, he again calls out for "78". Jackson is calling out for "78" because that is Tippit's call number and he knows Tippit was driving car number 10. On 11/22/63, Tippit was "78". That he calls out for Tippit after receiving the alert from the "citizen using the police radio" tells us that at 1:16, Jackson was made aware, for the very first time, that Tippit had been shot.
Since we know that Mary Wright, Barbara Davis and L.J. Lewis called the police almost immediately... and we know that Murray Jackson (the dispatcher) was unaware of the shooting until 1:16, it becomes painfully obvious that Wright, Davis and Lewis phoned in the shooting at a point in time just before the "citizen using the police radio" alerted Jackson. If these three witnesses had phoned in the shooting much earlier, then Jackson would have been already made aware of the shooting by his superiors and told to put an all-points bulletin. No all-points bulletin was put out by dispatch until AFTER dispatch (Jackson) was alerted at 1:16.
You know.... There must have been 850 police switchboard operators on duty that day to have immediately taken all these calls that were coming in....Don't you think? There were phone callers from all over town trying to get through also.
Even in these present days-- 911 can't process too many multiple calls coming in and you will get a 'sorry we are busy' re-direct.
So come on and let's get real.

No one has ever told me how Tippit managed to get himself shot at the very same time the doctors were pronouncing him dead----

Clearly the citizen ( TF Bowley) called the dispatcher AFTER the shooting. (And commonsense dictates that Bowley called the dispatcher several minutes after the shooting) " Murray Jackson, the police radio dispatcher, received an alert at 1:16" ...thus the shooting had occurred several minutes prior to Jackson receiving the message from TF Bowley. JD Tippit was shot at 1:06, just as Mrs Markham said.
Upon being told by the citizen that a police man had been shot and that it was near Marsalis, Beckley and Tenth Street, Jackson immediately calls out for "78". After getting no response, he again calls out for "78". Jackson is calling out for "78" because that is Tippit's call number and he knows Tippit was driving car number 10. On 11/22/63, Tippit was "78". That he calls out for Tippit after receiving the alert from the "citizen using the police radio" tells us that at 1:16, Jackson was made aware, for the very first time, that Tippit had been shot.

I never tire of seeing this document. Except, there's something about that 1:15 ...
Hmmm.
This is a fairly clear copy of Davenport's affidavit.....and on my screen it appears that he at first typed the time of 1:00 pm.... but then typed over the zeros and changed the time to 1:15......
1:15 could have been Davenport's guess at the time of arrival of the ambulance at Methodist hospital .... and he knew that Tippit had been pronounced DOA at Methodist. Thus he ( or someone ) changed the 1:00 pm to 1:15 pm.......

J D Tippit's birth certificate has not been linked to anywhere.
Neither has Jack Ruby's.
Not that I can find.

Do you believe these are vital documents that will provide crucial information?

Curiosity mostly. So much crap was jammed into the 26 volumes of Report...why not these?
Marina furnished a load of stuff to the HSCA. Birth certificate...marriage license etc.

Her children were entitled to Social Security benefits as a result of the Survivorship clause.

You may recall that Lee notified the FBI that ( through the letter to the Soviet Embassy ) that he had another dependent (his new born daughter) to add to his survivor benefits list.

So, we have two reports ( from the DPD and the funeral home) which show the time of death altered? "corrected" from 1:00 "ish" to 1:15. (We should be thankful, I guess, that Whiteout and Liquid Paper had not yet penetrated the mass market?)
Since Oswald's landlady saw him at 1:03 ish standing on a street corner, at a bus stop, the OP's 1:15 time of shooting is doubtful, to say the least.

Virginia Davis puts the time of the shooting as between 1:30pm to 2:00pm
Mrs. DAVIS. I saw the policeman lying on the street.
Mr. BELIN. All right. Did you see or do anything else? Did you see anyone else that you know come up to the policeman?
Mrs. DAVIS. No sir; there was a lot of people around there.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember about what time of day this was?
Mrs. DAVIS. I wouldn't say for sure. But it was about 1:30, between 1:30 and 2.

She isn't even sure herself.

Despite presenting proof I am confident he had read, David Von Pein ignored my discovery Virginia Davis lied about her age to DPD in November, 1963 (she claimed she was age 16 while birth records show she was not age 16 until June, 1964) and in her WC testimony in April of the following year.:
(Sister-in-law Barbara admittedly witnessed much less than Virginia.)
......
Virginia Ruth Wilbanks d.o.b. June 24, 1948....her daddy had a rather distinctive name. Her husband, Charley Davis was of the tender age 27 when he married 15 years old Virginia.

Nice work, Tom

I wonder how may of the Tippit shooting witnesses are still alive?
Are Virginia Davis (who i think was only 16 at the time) and Domingo Benavides (who i think was in his 20's at the time) still alive?
Perhaps Jack Tatum might still be alive too.

Jack Tatum was not a witness......

Speaking of Domingo Benevides, does anyone know where i can find any FBI or DPD statements he made about what he saw?
I can only find his WC testimony at archives.gov here: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/7460365
I'd like to know what he was saying in the days and weeks after the Tippit shooting.
