Mr. BALL. All right, now, you heard no sound of no rifle fire or anything?
Mr. WHITE. No, sir.
https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/testimony/white_jc.htmThe problem I have with Patrolman White's testimony [aside from his apparent lack of interest in viewing the motorcade]...
is that in viewing the photograph taken at the precise moment of his declared observation, I fail to see the cop at his stated location...
or this freight train that he mentions passing at that exact moment.
Odd that White never mentioned that he was given any information about the incident...just only told to go work traffic.
