    Mooney's holler--the Rosetta stone for conspiracy

    (I had a complaint here recently about over-lengthy posts, so I'll have to make this short and sweet. I aim to please.)

    Both sides want to see proof that there was a conspiracy in Dealey Plaza, in 1963. Here it is, direct and brutal, though this post cannot stay s&s *and* identify the depository shooter.

    I have long been curious about one photo in "Pictures of the Pain", page 519, taken at "approximately 1:00", from half a block away, and across Houston. Too far away, for identification purposes, both from the figure in the window in question and the
    figures in the street just below. Recently, however, I realized that the figure in the window need not be identified photographically. The figure is *there*--that's all that's needed. That and the time he was there. He can be identified by a sort of
    triangulation, of time, location, and witness observation. The person in question is in the SE corner window, above Elm, on the fifth floor.

    Time: a) "I saw the expended shells... I leaned out the window... I hollered... It was approaching 1 o'clock"--Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney". (v3p284-5)
    b) At 12:58 or 12:59, DPD Sgt. G.V. Harkness radioed for the Crime Lab people to come to the depository. At 12:59, the dispatcher radioed that they were enroute. (CE 1974 p41)
    c) Crime Lab's Lt. Day testified, "Shortly before 1 o'clock, I received a call from the police dispatcher to go to 411 Elm St. I went out of my office almost straight up 1 o'clock." (v4p249)

    Location: a) "On the 3rd floor of this book company down here, we found empty rifle hulls, and it looked like the man had been here for some time"--Insp. J.H. Sawyer. (DPD radio, CE 1974 p176)
    b) "Police found the remains of fried chicken and paper on the fifth floor. Apparently, the person had been there quite a while."--Insp. Sawyer, Stockton Record (AP), 11/22/63 p8. So, for Sawyer, "3rd floor" down translated as "5th floor" up.
    c) Sheriff's deputies, upstairs, were torn between 5th floor (Faulkner, Wiseman) and 6th floor (Mooney, McCurley, Weatherford). The 6th-floor advocates tried to buttress their case by saying that they saw Sawyer's 5th-floor chicken remains in the 6th-
    floor "nest". But Crime Lab Det. Studebaker went along with Sawyer: He said that the remains "ought to be" in his pictures, taken on the 6th floor, but they were not. (v7p147) The 6th-floor advocates--caught between Sawyer and Studebaker. The
    telltale chicken, then, rather than buttressing their case, actually sabotages it.

    Finally, a deputy downstairs and outside completes my triangulation. Chief Criminal Deputy Allen Sweatt reported, "While I was still at the front of the building, Dep. Sheriff Luke Mooney stuck his head out of the 5th floor window and stated he had
    found some spent cartridge cases. (Decker Exhibit 5323 p531, 11/23/63)

    At about 12:58, then, Mooney stuck his head out of the SE corner window, on the 5th floor, and reported finding the spent shells. And there's the picture of him doing just that, on page 519 of Trask. And there's your 5th-floor-HQ conspiracy.

    You've been a great audience, thank you!

    Keep looking at all the wrong things and looking at them incorrectly, Don. It's what you do.

    Gotten so bad among the LNs that they only parrot each other. You know that Bud has a copyright pending re that idea... Someday you'll come up with an interesting idea, & I won't know what to do with it (if I may parrot "Only Angels Have Wings")...

    Chickenshit is TERRIFIED of this simple honest question. He knows

    get Chickenshit to publicly acknowledge that Bugliosi said this.

    It's a simple "Yes" or "No" question, and Chickenshit cannot cite
    where he has EVER answered it.

    So it's going to keep getting asked until Chickenshit answers it.

    He has a few more trolls before he has to leave.

    Even though there was a black man firing a rifle on the 5th floor, I think Mooney discovered the 6th floor "sniper's nest." There's no evidence of piled up boxes in the photography on the 5th floor. And certainly it would have been part of the plan to
    immediately pick up the expended hulls on the 5th floor. Two of them probably were doing that when the "Powell Photo" was taken.

    There's evidence of something besides a human figure in the 5th-floor "nest" in the Weaver Polaroid. There are white somethings all along the bottom of the pic.

    And certainly it would have been part of the plan to immediately pick up the expended hulls on the 5th floor.

    Since Fritz was up there early, I think it happened pretty immediately, upon discovery. For instance, Haygood, who originally said he saw the shells with the boxes, forgot all about shells for the HSCA. He remembered inconsequential things, though.

    Two of them probably were doing that when the "Powell Photo" was taken.

    Not *that* immediately. I think there had to be *some* basis provided for searchers seeing shells in situ, & other, phony sighters were then enlisted, like Haygood. After all, he stole, with Henslee's help, (LL) Hill's 12:37 transmissions...

    There's evidence of something besides a human figure in the 5th-floor "nest" in the Weaver Polaroid. There are white somethings all along the bottom of the pic.
    And certainly it would have been part of the plan to immediately pick up the expended hulls on the 5th floor.
    Since Fritz was up there early,

    He wasn`t, he went to Parkland.

    I think it happened pretty immediately, upon discovery. For instance, Haygood, who originally said he saw the shells with the boxes, forgot all about shells for the HSCA. He remembered inconsequential things, though.
    Two of them probably were doing that when the "Powell Photo" was taken.
    Not *that* immediately. I think there had to be *some* basis provided for searchers seeing shells in situ, & other, phony sighters were then enlisted, like Haygood. After all, he stole, with Henslee's help, (LL) Hill's 12:37 transmissions...

    Mooney's holler--the Rosetta stone for conspiracy

    (I had a complaint here recently about over-lengthy posts, so I'll have to make this short and sweet. I aim to please.)

    Both sides want to see proof that there was a conspiracy in Dealey Plaza, in 1963. Here it is, direct and brutal, though this post cannot stay s&s *and* identify the depository shooter.

    I have long been curious about one photo in "Pictures of the Pain", page 519, taken at "approximately 1:00", from half a block away, and across Houston. Too far away, for identification purposes, both from the figure in the window in question and
    the figures in the street just below. Recently, however, I realized that the figure in the window need not be identified photographically. The figure is *there*--that's all that's needed. That and the time he was there. He can be identified by a sort of
    triangulation, of time, location, and witness observation. The person in question is in the SE corner window, above Elm, on the fifth floor.

    Time: a) "I saw the expended shells... I leaned out the window... I hollered... It was approaching 1 o'clock"--Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney". (v3p284-5)
    b) At 12:58 or 12:59, DPD Sgt. G.V. Harkness radioed for the Crime Lab people to come to the depository. At 12:59, the dispatcher radioed that they were enroute. (CE 1974 p41)
    c) Crime Lab's Lt. Day testified, "Shortly before 1 o'clock, I received a call from the police dispatcher to go to 411 Elm St. I went out of my office almost straight up 1 o'clock." (v4p249)

    Location: a) "On the 3rd floor of this book company down here, we found empty rifle hulls, and it looked like the man had been here for some time"--Insp. J.H. Sawyer. (DPD radio, CE 1974 p176)
    b) "Police found the remains of fried chicken and paper on the fifth floor. Apparently, the person had been there quite a while."--Insp. Sawyer, Stockton Record (AP), 11/22/63 p8. So, for Sawyer, "3rd floor" down translated as "5th floor" up.
    c) Sheriff's deputies, upstairs, were torn between 5th floor (Faulkner, Wiseman) and 6th floor (Mooney, McCurley, Weatherford). The 6th-floor advocates tried to buttress their case by saying that they saw Sawyer's 5th-floor chicken remains in the
    6th-floor "nest". But Crime Lab Det. Studebaker went along with Sawyer: He said that the remains "ought to be" in his pictures, taken on the 6th floor, but they were not. (v7p147) The 6th-floor advocates--caught between Sawyer and Studebaker. The
    telltale chicken, then, rather than buttressing their case, actually sabotages it.

    Finally, a deputy downstairs and outside completes my triangulation. Chief Criminal Deputy Allen Sweatt reported, "While I was still at the front of the building, Dep. Sheriff Luke Mooney stuck his head out of the 5th floor window and stated he
    had found some spent cartridge cases. (Decker Exhibit 5323 p531, 11/23/63)

    At about 12:58, then, Mooney stuck his head out of the SE corner window, on the 5th floor, and reported finding the spent shells. And there's the picture of him doing just that, on page 519 of Trask. And there's your 5th-floor-HQ conspiracy.

    You've been a great audience, thank you!

    If somebody wanted to know what a gish gallop is, all they would have to do is read one of Don's
    posts. They are the essence of what a gish gallop is. The more current vernacular is "word salad".
    Whatever term is applied to them, his posts are almost impossible to follow. It's like trying to
    make sense of a Jackson Pollock painting. He just throws a bunch of shit on the wall and then
    tries to tell us what it means. I gave up long ago trying to follow his goofy reasoning. I'd get
    migraines from trying. It's amazing how many illogical conclusions a man can pack into one
    post of about a half dozen paragraphs. Whoever said you can't put ten pounds of shit in a five

    Time: a) "I saw the expended shells... I leaned out the window... I hollered... It was approaching 1 o'clock"--Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney". (v3p284-5)
    b) At 12:58 or 12:59, DPD Sgt. G.V. Harkness radioed for the Crime Lab people to come to the depository. At 12:59, the dispatcher radioed that they were enroute. (CE 1974 p41)
    c) Crime Lab's Lt. Day testified, "Shortly before 1 o'clock, I received a call from the police dispatcher to go to 411 Elm St. I went out of my office almost straight up 1 o'clock." (v4p249)

    Location: a) "On the 3rd floor of this book company down here, we found empty rifle hulls, and it looked like the man had been here for some time"--Insp. J.H. Sawyer. (DPD radio, CE 1974 p176)
    b) "Police found the remains of fried chicken and paper on the fifth floor. Apparently, the person had been there quite a while."--Insp. Sawyer, Stockton Record (AP), 11/22/63 p8. So, for Sawyer, "3rd floor" down translated as "5th floor"
    up.
    c) Sheriff's deputies, upstairs, were torn between 5th floor (Faulkner, Wiseman) and 6th floor (Mooney, McCurley, Weatherford). The 6th-floor advocates tried to buttress their case by saying that they saw Sawyer's 5th-floor chicken
    remains in the 6th-floor "nest". But Crime Lab Det. Studebaker went along with Sawyer: He said that the remains "ought to be" in his pictures, taken on the 6th floor, but they were not. (v7p147) The 6th-floor advocates--caught between Sawyer and
    Studebaker. The telltale chicken, then, rather than buttressing their case, actually sabotages it.

    Finally, a deputy downstairs and outside completes my triangulation. Chief Criminal Deputy Allen Sweatt reported, "While I was still at the front of the building, Dep. Sheriff Luke Mooney stuck his head out of the 5th floor window and
    stated he had found some spent cartridge cases. (Decker Exhibit 5323 p531, 11/23/63)

    At about 12:58, then, Mooney stuck his head out of the SE corner window, on the 5th floor, and reported finding the spent shells. And there's the picture of him doing just that, on page 519 of Trask. And there's your 5th-floor-HQ
    conspiracy.

    You've been a great audience, thank you!

    dcw
    Even though there was a black man firing a rifle on the 5th floor, I think Mooney discovered the 6th floor "sniper's nest." There's no evidence of piled up boxes in the photography on the 5th floor.
    There's evidence of something besides a human figure in the 5th-floor "nest" in the Weaver Polaroid. There are white somethings all along the bottom of the pic.
    And certainly it would have been part of the plan to immediately pick up the expended hulls on the 5th floor.
    Since Fritz was up there early,
    He wasn`t, he went to Parkland.
    I think it happened pretty immediately, upon discovery. For instance, Haygood, who originally said he saw the shells with the boxes, forgot all about shells for the HSCA. He remembered inconsequential things, though.
    Two of them probably were doing that when the "Powell Photo" was taken.
    Not *that* immediately. I think there had to be *some* basis provided for searchers seeing shells in situ, & other, phony sighters were then enlisted, like Haygood. After all, he stole, with Henslee's help, (LL) Hill's 12:37 transmissions...

    If somebody wanted to know what a gish gallop is, all they would have to do is read one of Don's
    posts. They are the essence of what a gish gallop is. The more current vernacular is "word salad".
    Whatever term is applied to them, his posts are almost impossible to follow. It's like trying to
    make sense of a Jackson Pollock painting. He just throws a bunch of shit on the wall and then
    tries to tell us what it means. I gave up long ago trying to follow his goofy reasoning. I'd get
    migraines from trying. It's amazing how many illogical conclusions a man can pack into one
    post of about a half dozen paragraphs. Whoever said you can't put ten pounds of shit in a five
    pound bag never read one of Don's posts.
    In other words, you're too stupid to understand what Willis writes.
    Stupidity has nothing to do with it. I have a logical mind and he doesn't. Neither do you for that
    matter.
    Oh yeah, that's right. You're too "logical" to understand what Willis writes!

    Pretty much.

    dcw
    I think it happened pretty immediately, upon discovery. For instance, Haygood, who originally said he saw the shells with the boxes, forgot all about shells for the HSCA. He remembered inconsequential things, though.
    Two of them probably were doing that when the "Powell Photo" was taken. Not *that* immediately. I think there had to be *some* basis provided for searchers seeing shells in situ, & other, phony sighters were then enlisted, like Haygood. After all, he stole, with Henslee's help, (LL) Hill's 12:37 transmissions...

    Mooney's holler--the Rosetta stone for conspiracy

    (I had a complaint here recently about over-lengthy posts, so I'll have to make this short and sweet. I aim to please.)

    Both sides want to see proof that there was a conspiracy in Dealey Plaza, in 1963. Here it is, direct and brutal, though this post cannot stay s&s *and* identify the depository shooter.

    I have long been curious about one photo in "Pictures of the Pain", page 519, taken at "approximately 1:00", from half a block away, and across Houston. Too far away, for identification purposes, both from the figure in the window in question
    and the figures in the street just below. Recently, however, I realized that the figure in the window need not be identified photographically. The figure is *there*--that's all that's needed. That and the time he was there. He can be identified by a sort
    of triangulation, of time, location, and witness observation. The person in question is in the SE corner window, above Elm, on the fifth floor.

    Time: a) "I saw the expended shells... I leaned out the window... I hollered... It was approaching 1 o'clock"--Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney". (v3p284-5)
    b) At 12:58 or 12:59, DPD Sgt. G.V. Harkness radioed for the Crime Lab people to come to the depository. At 12:59, the dispatcher radioed that they were enroute. (CE 1974 p41)
    c) Crime Lab's Lt. Day testified, "Shortly before 1 o'clock, I received a call from the police dispatcher to go to 411 Elm St. I went out of my office almost straight up 1 o'clock." (v4p249)

    Location: a) "On the 3rd floor of this book company down here, we found empty rifle hulls, and it looked like the man had been here for some time"--Insp. J.H. Sawyer. (DPD radio, CE 1974 p176)
    b) "Police found the remains of fried chicken and paper on the fifth floor. Apparently, the person had been there quite a while."--Insp. Sawyer, Stockton Record (AP), 11/22/63 p8. So, for Sawyer, "3rd floor" down translated as "5th floor" up.
    c) Sheriff's deputies, upstairs, were torn between 5th floor (Faulkner, Wiseman) and 6th floor (Mooney, McCurley, Weatherford). The 6th-floor advocates tried to buttress their case by saying that they saw Sawyer's 5th-floor chicken remains in
    the 6th-floor "nest". But Crime Lab Det. Studebaker went along with Sawyer: He said that the remains "ought to be" in his pictures, taken on the 6th floor, but they were not. (v7p147) The 6th-floor advocates--caught between Sawyer and Studebaker. The
    telltale chicken, then, rather than buttressing their case, actually sabotages it.

    Finally, a deputy downstairs and outside completes my triangulation. Chief Criminal Deputy Allen Sweatt reported, "While I was still at the front of the building, Dep. Sheriff Luke Mooney stuck his head out of the 5th floor window and stated
    he had found some spent cartridge cases. (Decker Exhibit 5323 p531, 11/23/63)

    At about 12:58, then, Mooney stuck his head out of the SE corner window, on the 5th floor, and reported finding the spent shells. And there's the picture of him doing just that, on page 519 of Trask. And there's your 5th-floor-HQ conspiracy.

    You've been a great audience, thank you!

    dcw
    Even though there was a black man firing a rifle on the 5th floor, I think Mooney discovered the 6th floor "sniper's nest." There's no evidence of piled up boxes in the photography on the 5th floor.
    There's evidence of something besides a human figure in the 5th-floor "nest" in the Weaver Polaroid. There are white somethings all along the bottom of the pic.
    And certainly it would have been part of the plan to immediately pick up the expended hulls on the 5th floor.
    Since Fritz was up there early,
    He wasn`t, he went to Parkland.
    No, he didn't. Check the radio log transcriptions:

    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) What hospital did the President go to? Dispatcher Parkland Hospital
    Dispatcher 303, where are you?
    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) Parkland Hospital
    300 (Capt. John Will Fritz) 300, en route
    Dispatcher 300, are you en route to Elm and Hourson to that store?
    300 En route to the hospital.

    Then check Fritz's testimony & the Sims/Boyd report: Fritz testified, falsely (as you see, above), that he was with Sims & Boyd in the same car to Parkland. He was in a different car, supposedly en route to Parkland, while Sims & Boyd were already
    there. Sims & Boyd went to Parkland, Fritz did not.
    So him saying he was going to the hospital means he didn`t go to the hospital?

    Him saying he went to the hospital is like him saying, as he did, that he went to Parkland in the same car as Boyd & Sims. The radio logs prove he did not. If he lied about that, you're going to believe he didn't lie about going to Parkland at all?
    You have to admit that he lied about how he got there, if he did. Why would he lie, in other words, about one thing and not the other? We have only his word that he was "en route"... somewhere.

    I have to take it back--you're a *lousy* audience. Notice how John Robot generalizes re how my posts are impossible to follow. Notice also how he does not give ONE instance of that. Perhaps he's still smarting from when Hank had to help him out to get
    the connection between Commission testimony and references therein to CE photos. He took the words in Bob Jackson's testimony at face value, without bothering to check what Jackson meant by "halfway" (page 159). That made Jackson's testimony, for Mr.

    Sims or Boyd may have misheard or misunderstood the dispatch, thinking they were being asked where they were going. One of them answered "Parkland", and Fritz took the radio to correct that information, that they weren`t there yet, just "en route".

    Mooney's holler--the Rosetta stone for conspiracy

    Both sides want to see proof that there was a conspiracy in Dealey Plaza, in 1963. Here it is, direct and brutal, though this post cannot stay s&s *and* identify the depository shooter.

    I have long been curious about one photo in "Pictures of the Pain", page 519, taken at "approximately 1:00", from half a block away, and across Houston. Too far away, for identification purposes, both from the figure in the window in question
    and the figures in the street just below. Recently, however, I realized that the figure in the window need not be identified photographically. The figure is *there*--that's all that's needed. That and the time he was there. He can be identified by a sort
    of triangulation, of time, location, and witness observation. The person in question is in the SE corner window, above Elm, on the fifth floor.

    Time: a) "I saw the expended shells... I leaned out the window... I hollered... It was approaching 1 o'clock"--Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney". (v3p284-5)
    b) At 12:58 or 12:59, DPD Sgt. G.V. Harkness radioed for the Crime Lab people to come to the depository. At 12:59, the dispatcher radioed that they were enroute. (CE 1974 p41)
    c) Crime Lab's Lt. Day testified, "Shortly before 1 o'clock, I received a call from the police dispatcher to go to 411 Elm St. I went out of my office almost straight up 1 o'clock." (v4p249)

    Location: a) "On the 3rd floor of this book company down here, we found empty rifle hulls, and it looked like the man had been here for some time"--Insp. J.H. Sawyer. (DPD radio, CE 1974 p176)
    b) "Police found the remains of fried chicken and paper on the fifth floor. Apparently, the person had been there quite a while."--Insp. Sawyer, Stockton Record (AP), 11/22/63 p8. So, for Sawyer, "3rd floor" down translated as "5th floor" up.
    c) Sheriff's deputies, upstairs, were torn between 5th floor (Faulkner, Wiseman) and 6th floor (Mooney, McCurley, Weatherford). The 6th-floor advocates tried to buttress their case by saying that they saw Sawyer's 5th-floor chicken remains in
    the 6th-floor "nest". But Crime Lab Det. Studebaker went along with Sawyer: He said that the remains "ought to be" in his pictures, taken on the 6th floor, but they were not. (v7p147) The 6th-floor advocates--caught between Sawyer and Studebaker. The
    telltale chicken, then, rather than buttressing their case, actually sabotages it.

    Finally, a deputy downstairs and outside completes my triangulation. Chief Criminal Deputy Allen Sweatt reported, "While I was still at the front of the building, Dep. Sheriff Luke Mooney stuck his head out of the 5th floor window and stated
    he had found some spent cartridge cases. (Decker Exhibit 5323 p531, 11/23/63)

    Even though there was a black man firing a rifle on the 5th floor, I think Mooney discovered the 6th floor "sniper's nest." There's no evidence of piled up boxes in the photography on the 5th floor.

    I think it happened pretty immediately, upon discovery. For instance, Haygood, who originally said he saw the shells with the boxes, forgot all about shells for the HSCA. He remembered inconsequential things, though.
    Two of them probably were doing that when the "Powell Photo" was taken.

    If somebody wanted to know what a gish gallop is, all they would have to do is read one of Don's

    make sense of a Jackson Pollock painting. He just throws a bunch of shit on the wall and then
    tries to tell us what it means. I gave up long ago trying to follow his goofy reasoning. I'd get

    post of about a half dozen paragraphs. Whoever said you can't put ten pounds of shit in a five

    I have to take it back--you're a *lousy* audience. Notice how John Robot generalizes re how my posts are impossible to follow.

    Generally, they are.

    Notice also how he does not give ONE instance of that.

    Perhaps he's still smarting from when Hank had to help him out to get the connection between Commission testimony and references therein to CE photos.

    HUH???

    He took the words in Bob Jackson's testimony at face value, without bothering to check what Jackson meant by "halfway" (page 159). That made Jackson's testimony, for Mr. Robot, "impossible to follow"! I think he needs Hank's help again, poor boy...

    No, he didn't. Check the radio log transcriptions:

    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) What hospital did the President go to? Dispatcher Parkland Hospital
    Dispatcher 303, where are you?
    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) Parkland Hospital
    300 (Capt. John Will Fritz) 300, en route
    Dispatcher 300, are you en route to Elm and Hourson to that store?
    300 En route to the hospital.

    Then check Fritz's testimony & the Sims/Boyd report: Fritz testified, falsely (as you see, above), that he was with Sims & Boyd in the same car to Parkland. He was in a different car, supposedly en route to Parkland, while Sims & Boyd were already
    there. Sims & Boyd went to Parkland, Fritz did not.

    Also relevant to this hospital stuff are the stories of how Fritz and Decker supposedly went from the hospital to the TSBD. Decker said he rode back with two homicide detectives. Fritz said that he, Fritz, rode back with Sims and Boyd. Sims and Boyd said
    that both Decker and Fritz rode to the TSBD in their car. But neither Fritz not Decker said that the other was in the same car. Decker clearly states that he was already present when Fritz arrived. The stories clearly are false, and why would they lie
    about how they got to the TSBD?

    More of Don trying to make something out of nothing. Fritz, Sims, and Boyd were assigned to
    security at the Trade Mart. When they heard about the shooting, they were told the President
    had been taken to Parkland. It isn't clear from either the radio transcript or Fritz's testimony
    whether they took one car or two. What the hell difference does it make? The Trade Mart and
    Parkland are in close proximity so when 303 reported they were at Parkland, they might have
    been taking the off ramp or been approaching the entrance and Curry was telling the dispatcher
    they were en route. What the hell difference does it make? But to Don, this is somehow an
    AHA moment. He can't tell us why this would be significant but just the fact this anomaly exists
    is somehow proof that Fritz was covering something up. What that could be, Don won't say.
    Upon arriving at Parkland, Fritz spotted Curry and told him he thought he and his officers should
    go to the scene of the shooting so Curry told them to go.

    Mooney's holler--the Rosetta stone for conspiracy

    Both sides want to see proof that there was a conspiracy in Dealey Plaza, in 1963. Here it is, direct and brutal, though this post cannot stay s&s *and* identify the depository shooter.

    I have long been curious about one photo in "Pictures of the Pain", page 519, taken at "approximately 1:00", from half a block away, and across Houston. Too far away, for identification purposes, both from the figure in the window in
    question and the figures in the street just below. Recently, however, I realized that the figure in the window need not be identified photographically. The figure is *there*--that's all that's needed. That and the time he was there. He can be identified
    by a sort of triangulation, of time, location, and witness observation. The person in question is in the SE corner window, above Elm, on the fifth floor.

    Time: a) "I saw the expended shells... I leaned out the window... I hollered... It was approaching 1 o'clock"--Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney". (v3p284-5)
    b) At 12:58 or 12:59, DPD Sgt. G.V. Harkness radioed for the Crime Lab people to come to the depository. At 12:59, the dispatcher radioed that they were enroute. (CE 1974 p41)
    c) Crime Lab's Lt. Day testified, "Shortly before 1 o'clock, I received a call from the police dispatcher to go to 411 Elm St. I went out of my office almost straight up 1 o'clock." (v4p249)

    Location: a) "On the 3rd floor of this book company down here, we found empty rifle hulls, and it looked like the man had been here for some time"--Insp. J.H. Sawyer. (DPD radio, CE 1974 p176)
    b) "Police found the remains of fried chicken and paper on the fifth floor. Apparently, the person had been there quite a while."--Insp. Sawyer, Stockton Record (AP), 11/22/63 p8. So, for Sawyer, "3rd floor" down translated as "5th floor"
    up.
    c) Sheriff's deputies, upstairs, were torn between 5th floor (Faulkner, Wiseman) and 6th floor (Mooney, McCurley, Weatherford). The 6th-floor advocates tried to buttress their case by saying that they saw Sawyer's 5th-floor chicken remains
    in the 6th-floor "nest". But Crime Lab Det. Studebaker went along with Sawyer: He said that the remains "ought to be" in his pictures, taken on the 6th floor, but they were not. (v7p147) The 6th-floor advocates--caught between Sawyer and Studebaker. The
    telltale chicken, then, rather than buttressing their case, actually sabotages it.

    Finally, a deputy downstairs and outside completes my triangulation. Chief Criminal Deputy Allen Sweatt reported, "While I was still at the front of the building, Dep. Sheriff Luke Mooney stuck his head out of the 5th floor window and
    stated he had found some spent cartridge cases. (Decker Exhibit 5323 p531, 11/23/63)

    Even though there was a black man firing a rifle on the 5th floor, I think Mooney discovered the 6th floor "sniper's nest." There's no evidence of piled up boxes in the photography on the 5th floor.
    There's evidence of something besides a human figure in the 5th-floor "nest" in the Weaver Polaroid. There are white somethings all along the bottom of the pic.
    And certainly it would have been part of the plan to immediately pick up the expended hulls on the 5th floor.
    Since Fritz was up there early,
    He wasn`t, he went to Parkland.
    I think it happened pretty immediately, upon discovery. For instance, Haygood, who originally said he saw the shells with the boxes, forgot all about shells for the HSCA. He remembered inconsequential things, though.
    Two of them probably were doing that when the "Powell Photo" was taken.
    Not *that* immediately. I think there had to be *some* basis provided for searchers seeing shells in situ, & other, phony sighters were then enlisted, like Haygood. After all, he stole, with Henslee's help, (LL) Hill's 12:37 transmissions...

    I`ve never been able to follow them. I don`t even try any more, I still haven`t read your first post in this thread, I don`t bother because your reasoning is so tortured I can`t follow it.

    It's just that it goes against your firmly-held beliefs.

    And certainly it would have been part of the plan to immediately pick up the expended hulls on the 5th floor.
    Since Fritz was up there early,
    He wasn`t, he went to Parkland.
    No, he didn't. Check the radio log transcriptions:

    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) What hospital did the President go to?
    Dispatcher Parkland Hospital
    Dispatcher 303, where are you?
    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) Parkland Hospital
    300 (Capt. John Will Fritz) 300, en route
    Dispatcher 300, are you en route to Elm and Hourson to that store?
    300 En route to the hospital.

    Then check Fritz's testimony & the Sims/Boyd report: Fritz testified, falsely (as you see, above), that he was with Sims & Boyd in the same car to Parkland. He was in a different car, supposedly en route to Parkland, while Sims & Boyd were
    already there. Sims & Boyd went to Parkland, Fritz did not.
    So him saying he was going to the hospital means he didn`t go to the hospital?
    Him saying he went to the hospital is like him saying, as he did, that he went to Parkland in the same car as Boyd & Sims. The radio logs prove he did not.
    So the radio log says he went to Parkland.

    A lie. It says that HE says he is GOING to Parkland, not that he want. LN truth-bending time...


    He testified that he went to Parkland. Boyd testifies that Fritz went to Parkland. Sims testifies that Fritz went to Parkland.

    They're his Homicide boys. What else are they going to say? Consider the source, Bud.

    And to you this means he didn`t go to Parkland.
    If he lied about that, you're going to believe he didn't lie about going to Parkland at all? You have to admit that he lied about how he got there, if he did. Why would he lie, in other words, about one thing and not the other? We have only his word
    that he was "en route"... somewhere.
    Sims or Boyd may have misheard or misunderstood the dispatch

    Speculation.

    , thinking they were being asked where they were going. One of them answered "Parkland", and Fritz took the radio to correct that information, that they weren`t there yet, just "en route".

    I think it happened pretty immediately, upon discovery. For instance, Haygood, who originally said he saw the shells with the boxes, forgot all about shells for the HSCA. He remembered inconsequential things, though.

    said that both Decker and Fritz rode to the TSBD in their car. But neither Fritz not Decker said that the other was in the same car. Decker clearly states that he was already present when Fritz arrived. The stories clearly are false, and why would they

    Another word salad.

    Yes, I know you'd like to forget the proof of your ignorance of Commission testimony/photo-evidence. It was an embarrassing day for you. Hank--you're little protegee needs you! Critter has no talent for argument, or reading...

    Why don't you read Decker's testimony? He wasn't even sure if he talked to Fritz on Friday or
    Saturday. And this is your basis for saying that Fritz lied.

    Mooney's holler--the Rosetta stone for conspiracy

    (I had a complaint here recently about over-lengthy posts, so I'll have to make this short and sweet. I aim to please.)

    Both sides want to see proof that there was a conspiracy in Dealey Plaza, in 1963. Here it is, direct and brutal, though this post cannot stay s&s *and* identify the depository shooter.

    I have long been curious about one photo in "Pictures of the Pain", page 519, taken at "approximately 1:00", from half a block away, and across Houston. Too far away, for identification purposes, both from the figure in the window in
    question and the figures in the street just below. Recently, however, I realized that the figure in the window need not be identified photographically. The figure is *there*--that's all that's needed. That and the time he was there. He can be identified
    by a sort of triangulation, of time, location, and witness observation. The person in question is in the SE corner window, above Elm, on the fifth floor.

    Time: a) "I saw the expended shells... I leaned out the window... I hollered... It was approaching 1 o'clock"--Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney". (v3p284-5)
    b) At 12:58 or 12:59, DPD Sgt. G.V. Harkness radioed for the Crime Lab people to come to the depository. At 12:59, the dispatcher radioed that they were enroute. (CE 1974 p41)
    c) Crime Lab's Lt. Day testified, "Shortly before 1 o'clock, I received a call from the police dispatcher to go to 411 Elm St. I went out of my office almost straight up 1 o'clock." (v4p249)

    Location: a) "On the 3rd floor of this book company down here, we found empty rifle hulls, and it looked like the man had been here for some time"--Insp. J.H. Sawyer. (DPD radio, CE 1974 p176)
    b) "Police found the remains of fried chicken and paper on the fifth floor. Apparently, the person had been there quite a while."--Insp. Sawyer, Stockton Record (AP), 11/22/63 p8. So, for Sawyer, "3rd floor" down translated as "5th
    floor" up.
    c) Sheriff's deputies, upstairs, were torn between 5th floor (Faulkner, Wiseman) and 6th floor (Mooney, McCurley, Weatherford). The 6th-floor advocates tried to buttress their case by saying that they saw Sawyer's 5th-floor chicken
    remains in the 6th-floor "nest". But Crime Lab Det. Studebaker went along with Sawyer: He said that the remains "ought to be" in his pictures, taken on the 6th floor, but they were not. (v7p147) The 6th-floor advocates--caught between Sawyer and
    Studebaker. The telltale chicken, then, rather than buttressing their case, actually sabotages it.

    Finally, a deputy downstairs and outside completes my triangulation. Chief Criminal Deputy Allen Sweatt reported, "While I was still at the front of the building, Dep. Sheriff Luke Mooney stuck his head out of the 5th floor window and
    stated he had found some spent cartridge cases. (Decker Exhibit 5323 p531, 11/23/63)

    At about 12:58, then, Mooney stuck his head out of the SE corner window, on the 5th floor, and reported finding the spent shells. And there's the picture of him doing just that, on page 519 of Trask. And there's your 5th-floor-HQ
    conspiracy.

    You've been a great audience, thank you!

    dcw
    Even though there was a black man firing a rifle on the 5th floor, I think Mooney discovered the 6th floor "sniper's nest." There's no evidence of piled up boxes in the photography on the 5th floor.
    There's evidence of something besides a human figure in the 5th-floor "nest" in the Weaver Polaroid. There are white somethings all along the bottom of the pic.
    And certainly it would have been part of the plan to immediately pick up the expended hulls on the 5th floor.
    Since Fritz was up there early,
    He wasn`t, he went to Parkland.
    No, he didn't. Check the radio log transcriptions:

    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) What hospital did the President go to?
    Dispatcher Parkland Hospital
    Dispatcher 303, where are you?
    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) Parkland Hospital
    300 (Capt. John Will Fritz) 300, en route
    Dispatcher 300, are you en route to Elm and Hourson to that store? 300 En route to the hospital.

    Then check Fritz's testimony & the Sims/Boyd report: Fritz testified, falsely (as you see, above), that he was with Sims & Boyd in the same car to Parkland. He was in a different car, supposedly en route to Parkland, while Sims & Boyd were
    already there. Sims & Boyd went to Parkland, Fritz did not.
    So him saying he was going to the hospital means he didn`t go to the hospital?
    Him saying he went to the hospital is like him saying, as he did, that he went to Parkland in the same car as Boyd & Sims. The radio logs prove he did not.
    So the radio log says he went to Parkland.
    A lie. It says that HE says he is GOING to Parkland, not that he want. LN truth-bending time...

    Not a lie. If you would read his whole testimony instead of the minor anomaly you came across,
    you would know he went to Parkland. He saw Curry there and immediately told him he thought
    he and his detectives should go to the scene of the crime. They left Parkland almost as soon as
    they got there.

    He testified that he went to Parkland. Boyd testifies that Fritz went to Parkland. Sims testifies that Fritz went to Parkland.
    They're his Homicide boys. What else are they going to say? Consider the source, Bud.

    So you think three homicide detectives perjured themselves in order to make your silly narrative work.

    And to you this means he didn`t go to Parkland.
    If he lied about that, you're going to believe he didn't lie about going to Parkland at all? You have to admit that he lied about how he got there, if he did. Why would he lie, in other words, about one thing and not the other? We have only his word
    that he was "en route"... somewhere.
    Sims or Boyd may have misheard or misunderstood the dispatch
    Speculation.

    Speculation is all you have ever presented, Don. You try to find significance in the most
    insignificant things.

    I think it happened pretty immediately, upon discovery. For instance, Haygood, who originally said he saw the shells with the boxes, forgot all about shells for the HSCA. He remembered inconsequential things, though.
    Two of them probably were doing that when the "Powell Photo" was taken.
    Not *that* immediately. I think there had to be *some* basis provided for searchers seeing shells in situ, & other, phony sighters were then enlisted, like Haygood. After all, he stole, with Henslee's help, (LL) Hill's 12:37 transmissions...

    Also relevant to this hospital stuff are the stories of how Fritz and Decker supposedly went from the hospital to the TSBD. Decker said he rode back with two homicide detectives. Fritz said that he, Fritz, rode back with Sims and Boyd. Sims and Boyd
    said that both Decker and Fritz rode to the TSBD in their car. But neither Fritz not Decker said that the other was in the same car.

    Did either of them say they rode in different cars? Didn't think so. You think it matters that not all of the four officers who were in that car testified to the presence of the other three occupants.

    Decker clearly states that he was already present when Fritz arrived. The stories clearly are false, and why would they lie about how they got to the TSBD?
    Excellent supporting points! Robot will have to pretend that he just doesn't understand...

    Congratulations, Don. You found someone whose figuring is as FUBAR as yours.

    If somebody wanted to know what a gish gallop is, all they would have to do is read one of Don's
    posts. They are the essence of what a gish gallop is. The more current vernacular is "word salad".
    Whatever term is applied to them, his posts are almost impossible to follow. It's like trying to
    make sense of a Jackson Pollock painting. He just throws a bunch of shit on the wall and then
    tries to tell us what it means. I gave up long ago trying to follow his goofy reasoning. I'd get
    migraines from trying. It's amazing how many illogical conclusions a man can pack into one
    post of about a half dozen paragraphs. Whoever said you can't put ten pounds of shit in a five
    pound bag never read one of Don's posts.
    I have to take it back--you're a *lousy* audience. Notice how John Robot generalizes re how my posts are impossible to follow.
    Generally, they are.
    Notice also how he does not give ONE instance of that.
    I don't need to. You provide plenty.
    Opinion masquerading as incisive comment.
    Perhaps he's still smarting from when Hank had to help him out to get the connection between Commission testimony and references therein to CE photos.
    HUH???
    Are you truly ignorant or just pretending to be ignorant?

    You don't need to pretend.

    He took the words in Bob Jackson's testimony at face value, without bothering to check what Jackson meant by "halfway" (page 159). That made Jackson's testimony, for Mr. Robot, "impossible to follow"! I think he needs Hank's help again, poor boy...

    Another word salad.
    Yes, I know you'd like to forget the proof of your ignorance of Commission testimony/photo-evidence. It was an embarrassing day for you. Hank--you're little protegee needs you! Critter has no talent for argument, or reading...

    I have no fucking idea what you are even talking about. As usual, your gish gallop is
    incomprehensible.

    Finally, a deputy downstairs and outside completes my triangulation. Chief Criminal Deputy Allen Sweatt reported, "While I was still at the front of the building, Dep. Sheriff Luke Mooney stuck his head out of the 5th floor window and
    stated he had found some spent cartridge cases. (Decker Exhibit 5323 p531, 11/23/63)

    At about 12:58, then, Mooney stuck his head out of the SE corner window, on the 5th floor, and reported finding the spent shells. And there's the picture of him doing just that, on page 519 of Trask. And there's your 5th-floor-HQ
    conspiracy.

    You've been a great audience, thank you!

    dcw
    Even though there was a black man firing a rifle on the 5th floor, I think Mooney discovered the 6th floor "sniper's nest." There's no evidence of piled up boxes in the photography on the 5th floor.
    There's evidence of something besides a human figure in the 5th-floor "nest" in the Weaver Polaroid. There are white somethings all along the bottom of the pic.
    And certainly it would have been part of the plan to immediately pick up the expended hulls on the 5th floor.
    Since Fritz was up there early,
    He wasn`t, he went to Parkland.
    I think it happened pretty immediately, upon discovery. For instance, Haygood, who originally said he saw the shells with the boxes, forgot all about shells for the HSCA. He remembered inconsequential things, though.
    Two of them probably were doing that when the "Powell Photo" was taken.
    Not *that* immediately. I think there had to be *some* basis provided for searchers seeing shells in situ, & other, phony sighters were then enlisted, like Haygood. After all, he stole, with Henslee's help, (LL) Hill's 12:37 transmissions...

    If somebody wanted to know what a gish gallop is, all they would have to do is read one of Don's
    posts. They are the essence of what a gish gallop is. The more current vernacular is "word salad".
    Whatever term is applied to them, his posts are almost impossible to follow. It's like trying to
    make sense of a Jackson Pollock painting. He just throws a bunch of shit on the wall and then
    tries to tell us what it means. I gave up long ago trying to follow his goofy reasoning. I'd get
    migraines from trying. It's amazing how many illogical conclusions a man can pack into one
    post of about a half dozen paragraphs. Whoever said you can't put ten pounds of shit in a five
    pound bag never read one of Don's posts.
    I have to take it back--you're a *lousy* audience. Notice how John Robot generalizes re how my posts are impossible to follow.
    I`ve never been able to follow them. I don`t even try any more, I still haven`t read your first post in this thread, I don`t bother because your reasoning is so tortured I can`t follow it.
    It's just that it goes against your firmly-held beliefs.

    It is right in line with my belief that conspiracy folks play silly games with the evidence in this case. You are like a child, placing one fantastic thing on top of another to create something you find personally appealing.

    And you haven`t explained why it should be expected that micro-analyzing the movements of cops responding to a crime would give insight into the crime they are responding to.

    Notice also how he does not give ONE instance of that. Perhaps he's still smarting from when Hank had to help him out to get the connection between Commission testimony and references therein to CE photos. He took the words in Bob Jackson's
    testimony at face value, without bothering to check what Jackson meant by "halfway" (page 159). That made Jackson's testimony, for Mr. Robot, "impossible to follow"! I think he needs Hank's help again, poor boy...

    Mooney's holler--the Rosetta stone for conspiracy

    (I had a complaint here recently about over-lengthy posts, so I'll have to make this short and sweet. I aim to please.)

    Both sides want to see proof that there was a conspiracy in Dealey Plaza, in 1963. Here it is, direct and brutal, though this post cannot stay s&s *and* identify the depository shooter.

    I have long been curious about one photo in "Pictures of the Pain", page 519, taken at "approximately 1:00", from half a block away, and across Houston. Too far away, for identification purposes, both from the figure in the window in
    question and the figures in the street just below. Recently, however, I realized that the figure in the window need not be identified photographically. The figure is *there*--that's all that's needed. That and the time he was there. He can be identified
    by a sort of triangulation, of time, location, and witness observation. The person in question is in the SE corner window, above Elm, on the fifth floor.

    Time: a) "I saw the expended shells... I leaned out the window... I hollered... It was approaching 1 o'clock"--Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney". (v3p284-5)
    b) At 12:58 or 12:59, DPD Sgt. G.V. Harkness radioed for the Crime Lab people to come to the depository. At 12:59, the dispatcher radioed that they were enroute. (CE 1974 p41)
    c) Crime Lab's Lt. Day testified, "Shortly before 1 o'clock, I received a call from the police dispatcher to go to 411 Elm St. I went out of my office almost straight up 1 o'clock." (v4p249)

    Location: a) "On the 3rd floor of this book company down here, we found empty rifle hulls, and it looked like the man had been here for some time"--Insp. J.H. Sawyer. (DPD radio, CE 1974 p176)
    b) "Police found the remains of fried chicken and paper on the fifth floor. Apparently, the person had been there quite a while."--Insp. Sawyer, Stockton Record (AP), 11/22/63 p8. So, for Sawyer, "3rd floor" down translated as "5th
    floor" up.
    c) Sheriff's deputies, upstairs, were torn between 5th floor (Faulkner, Wiseman) and 6th floor (Mooney, McCurley, Weatherford). The 6th-floor advocates tried to buttress their case by saying that they saw Sawyer's 5th-floor chicken
    remains in the 6th-floor "nest". But Crime Lab Det. Studebaker went along with Sawyer: He said that the remains "ought to be" in his pictures, taken on the 6th floor, but they were not. (v7p147) The 6th-floor advocates--caught between Sawyer and

    Since Fritz was up there early,
    He wasn`t, he went to Parkland.
    No, he didn't. Check the radio log transcriptions:

    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) What hospital did the President go to?
    Dispatcher Parkland Hospital
    Dispatcher 303, where are you?
    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) Parkland Hospital
    300 (Capt. John Will Fritz) 300, en route
    Dispatcher 300, are you en route to Elm and Hourson to that store? 300 En route to the hospital.

    Then check Fritz's testimony & the Sims/Boyd report: Fritz testified, falsely (as you see, above), that he was with Sims & Boyd in the same car to Parkland. He was in a different car, supposedly en route to Parkland, while Sims & Boyd were
    already there. Sims & Boyd went to Parkland, Fritz did not.
    So him saying he was going to the hospital means he didn`t go to the hospital?
    Him saying he went to the hospital is like him saying, as he did, that he went to Parkland in the same car as Boyd & Sims. The radio logs prove he did not.
    So the radio log says he went to Parkland.
    A lie. It says that HE says he is GOING to Parkland, not that he want. LN truth-bending time...
    He testified that he went to Parkland. Boyd testifies that Fritz went to Parkland. Sims testifies that Fritz went to Parkland.
    They're his Homicide boys. What else are they going to say? Consider the source, Bud.
    And to you this means he didn`t go to Parkland.
    If he lied about that, you're going to believe he didn't lie about going to Parkland at all? You have to admit that he lied about how he got there, if he did. Why would he lie, in other words, about one thing and not the other? We have only his word
    that he was "en route"... somewhere.
    Sims or Boyd may have misheard or misunderstood the dispatch
    Speculation.

    That they lied when they testified is speculation that is a thousand times more fantastic.

    I offered a possibility that requires nothing fantastic.

    Not a lie. If you would read his whole testimony instead of the minor anomaly you came across,
    you would know he went to Parkland. He saw Curry there and immediately told him he thought
    he and his detectives should go to the scene of the crime.

    For his part, Curry, in his testimony, does not mention Fritz's having been at Parkland (v4p162), nor does Curry mention his having been at Parkland in his book, "JFK Assassination File", p51. What he does say is, "I had sent Deputy Chief Lumpkin with
    some Homicide detectives back to the Elm & Houston location..." Which confirms that only Fritz's detectives, Sims & Boyd, got to Parkland. [Share this with Bud, who also tries to add Fritz to Parkland.] You gotta learn not to have complete trust
    in Fritz. Curry seemed on the level; Fritz did not.

    They left Parkland almost as soon as
    they got there.
    He testified that he went to Parkland. Boyd testifies that Fritz went to Parkland. Sims testifies that Fritz went to Parkland.
    They're his Homicide boys. What else are they going to say? Consider the source, Bud.
    So you think three homicide detectives perjured themselves in order to make your silly narrative work.
    And to you this means he didn`t go to Parkland.
    If he lied about that, you're going to believe he didn't lie about going to Parkland at all? You have to admit that he lied about how he got there, if he did. Why would he lie, in other words, about one thing and not the other? We have only his
    word that he was "en route"... somewhere.
    Sims or Boyd may have misheard or misunderstood the dispatch
    Speculation.

    Speculation is all you have ever presented, Don. You try to find significance in the most
    insignificant things.

    And you don't know how to do research. You lean on one witness and ignore others, as well as photos. And I'd say it's pretty significant that Fritz apparently got to the depository earlier than he said he did.

    He took the words in Bob Jackson's testimony at face value, without bothering to check what Jackson meant by "halfway" (page 159). That made Jackson's testimony, for Mr. Robot, "impossible to follow"! I think he needs Hank's help again, poor boy..

    Yes, I know you'd like to forget the proof of your ignorance of Commission testimony/photo-evidence. It was an embarrassing day for you. Hank--you're little protegee needs you! Critter has no talent for argument, or reading...

    I have no fucking idea what you are even talking about. As usual, your gish gallop is
    incomprehensible.

    Here's where you failed to connect a CE exhibit/photo with Commission testimony, to wit: Bob Jackson's


    "Jul 22, 2020, 9:34:32 PM
    to
    The breakthrough!--Corbett takes a bye on key point of Jackson's testimony, unintentionally sinks "sniper's nest" story

    And so, Bye, "sniper's nest"! Arch-LN John Corbett finally, if unwittingly, waved the white flag on July 21st. Backed into a corner when asked, "How wide did Jackson show that the window was open?", Corbett was forced to reply, "I don't give a shit how
    wide open the window was. You are the only one who seems obsessed with that." ("Warren Report concurs: 5th-floor for the rifle oh, yeah!" alt.assassination.jfk 7/21/20)

    The backdrop for this exchange is Dallas Times Herald photographer Robert Jackson's "I would say that [the "sniper's nest" window] was open like that window there, halfway." Commission counsel Arlen Specter, fortunately, follows up, "Indicating a window
    on the sixth floor of the westernmost portion of the [Texas School Book Depository] open halfway as you have described it." (v2p159)

    I say "fortunately" because the photo which Jackson indicates, on CE 348, shows that the window to which Jackson was comparing the "nest" window was, in fact, by contrast, open all the way. Corbett has been clinging closely to that misleading (in this
    case) word "halfway", which word he was more than happy to acknowledge, as it would seem to describe the condition of the "nest" window at 12:30 on 11/22/63.

    But he adamantly (see above) refused to acknowledge what the photo itself shows: a window open as far as it could have been opened, not a window open halfway. That westernmost window is a casement window, a window in which only the bottom half can open,
    when pulled upwards. So someone unfamiliar with how casement windows operate might think that one which was all the way open would seem only "open halfway". And Specter was only too happy to confirm Jackson's misleading phrase. Corbett, quick like a
    bunny, embraced it, too. Not so much the actual photo, to which he has an aversion bordering on phobia.

    Jackson was enabled to use another window to illustrate how wide the "nest" window was open, only because Specter, happily, did not tell him that the latter, in CE 348, was open just like it was at 12:30, genuinely halfway. (CE 348 was taken later that
    day or the next day.) Jackson ignored the "nest" window, for illustration purposes, and selected, instead, a window at the other end of the building. He thus cancelled out his mark at (or near) "the very end" on the SE corner. He had a chance to confirm
    the accuracy of his placement of that mark, and blew it."

    Two years ago, and Corbett can't remember this!

    I have no fucking idea what you are even talking about. As usual, your gish gallop is
    incomprehensible.

    Here's more on your 2020 gaffe: (from alt.conspiracy.jfk 9/2/2020)

    " In [Corbett's] first attack, he asserted that witness Bob Jackson's word "halfway", in his Commission testimony, "shoots down [my] argument" (7/9), ignoring the fact that Jackson indicated to counsel, as an illustration of the word "halfway", a
    window which was actually open as far as it could have been open. I suspect that Jackson is not usually thought of as a witness to a wide-open window because few people have apparently gone beyond that word "halfway" and actually looked at the photo
    which he was looking at.
    Next, Mr. Corbett decided that "wide open" was a "vague" term: "It doesn't mean all the way open" (7/31): It's no more vague than "halfway", which word he embraces and could, yes, mean a window which was open a few inches more or less than halfway.
    No one had their tape measures out on 11/22/63, except perhaps the DPD Crime Lab personnel.
    Then Mr. Corbett admittedly followed a certain logic (8/2) when he wrote that a shooter would certainly only open the "window partially... in order to maintain partial concealment", and a mere onlooker "would have opened it all the way", for a better
    view. He fails to entertain the possibility that the assassination planners might have been sophisticated enough to reverse that logic, intentionally, the better to throw off students of Logic 1A. That is, the partially-opened window seems to have been
    simply a ruse--and a pretty ingenious one at that--and--illogical or not--the shooter seems to have fired from a wide-open window, despite Mr. Corbett's Rules for Snipers.
    The giveaway is the fact that the suspect--contrary to what Mr. Corbett suggests--hardly maintained "partial concealment". He used that wide-open window as a stage on which he could make himself seen, by walking to and from the window "to my
    knowledge a couple of times" (Howard Brennan/v3p143), and by sitting "sideways on the window sill" (p144), and by having the window open so far that witness Ronald Fischer "wouldn't have been able to see past the top of his head had it not been" (v6p199).
    And a third witness, Robert Edwards, "noticed that he seemed to be laying down there or in a funny position anyway" (11/22/63 affidavit). Whatever was intended by this display, the suspect succeeded in drawing attention both to that area of the
    depository and to himself, perhaps--in the latter case--to provide a basis for the forthcoming suspect suspect-description from DPD Insp. Sawyer, which could have come from nowhere else in the plaza, though the nutty precision of "five feet ten, one
    sixty five" (Sawyer Exh A) is still a stretch, even with that much southern exposure .
    In his next volley, Mr. Corbett posited that a "few witnesses.. misremembered that the shooter had fired from a wide open window" (8/5). First, it was actually four witnesses, not a "few". A "few" might, yes, "misremember". But a chorus of four is
    harder to dismiss. And another witness, Malcolm Couch, testified that it was his "impression that [the window] was all the way open" (v6p157). Only an impression, but it tallies with the more-definite observations of the other four. And to buy Mr.
    Corbett's "misremembered", you have to dismiss the fact that Edwards said that "the window was wide open all the way"--in his same-day affidavit.
    On 8/8, Mr. Corbett finally admitted that "the westernmost window on the sixth floor was wide open". Unfortunately, on 8/10, he forthwith cancelled out his admission with "we have a few vague descriptions of the shooters window as wide open". And yet
    that westernmost window which Jackson indicated was not "vaguely" wide open. It was wide open. Mr. Corbett giveth and Mr. Corbett taketh away, blessed be the name...."

    And admission, then, and an evasion, from M. Corbett.

    300 (Capt. John Will Fritz) 300, en route
    Dispatcher 300, are you en route to Elm and Hourson to that store? 300 En route to the hospital.

    Then check Fritz's testimony & the Sims/Boyd report: Fritz testified, falsely (as you see, above), that he was with Sims & Boyd in the same car to Parkland. He was in a different car, supposedly en route to Parkland, while Sims & Boyd were
    already there. Sims & Boyd went to Parkland, Fritz did not.
    So him saying he was going to the hospital means he didn`t go to the hospital?
    Him saying he went to the hospital is like him saying, as he did, that he went to Parkland in the same car as Boyd & Sims. The radio logs prove he did not.
    So the radio log says he went to Parkland.
    A lie. It says that HE says he is GOING to Parkland, not that he want. LN truth-bending time...
    He testified that he went to Parkland. Boyd testifies that Fritz went to Parkland. Sims testifies that Fritz went to Parkland.
    They're his Homicide boys. What else are they going to say? Consider the source, Bud.
    And to you this means he didn`t go to Parkland.
    If he lied about that, you're going to believe he didn't lie about going to Parkland at all? You have to admit that he lied about how he got there, if he did. Why would he lie, in other words, about one thing and not the other? We have only his
    word that he was "en route"... somewhere.
    Sims or Boyd may have misheard or misunderstood the dispatch
    Speculation.
    That they lied when they testified is speculation that is a thousand times more fantastic.

    Yet there's the truth right there in the DPD radio logs!

    I offered a possibility that requires nothing fantastic.

    , thinking they were being asked where they were going. One of them answered "Parkland", and Fritz took the radio to correct that information, that they weren`t there yet, just "en route".
    dcw
    I think it happened pretty immediately, upon discovery. For instance, Haygood, who originally said he saw the shells with the boxes, forgot all about shells for the HSCA. He remembered inconsequential things, though.
    Two of them probably were doing that when the "Powell Photo" was taken.
    Not *that* immediately. I think there had to be *some* basis provided for searchers seeing shells in situ, & other, phony sighters were then enlisted, like Haygood. After all, he stole, with Henslee's help, (LL) Hill's 12:37 transmissions.

    Mooney's holler--the Rosetta stone for conspiracy

    (I had a complaint here recently about over-lengthy posts, so I'll have to make this short and sweet. I aim to please.)

    Both sides want to see proof that there was a conspiracy in Dealey Plaza, in 1963. Here it is, direct and brutal, though this post cannot stay s&s *and* identify the depository shooter.

    I have long been curious about one photo in "Pictures of the Pain", page 519, taken at "approximately 1:00", from half a block away, and across Houston. Too far away, for identification purposes, both from the figure in the window in
    question and the figures in the street just below. Recently, however, I realized that the figure in the window need not be identified photographically. The figure is *there*--that's all that's needed. That and the time he was there. He can be identified
    by a sort of triangulation, of time, location, and witness observation. The person in question is in the SE corner window, above Elm, on the fifth floor.

    Time: a) "I saw the expended shells... I leaned out the window... I hollered... It was approaching 1 o'clock"--Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney". (v3p284-5)
    b) At 12:58 or 12:59, DPD Sgt. G.V. Harkness radioed for the Crime Lab people to come to the depository. At 12:59, the dispatcher radioed that they were enroute. (CE 1974 p41)
    c) Crime Lab's Lt. Day testified, "Shortly before 1 o'clock, I received a call from the police dispatcher to go to 411 Elm St. I went out of my office almost straight up 1 o'clock." (v4p249)

    Location: a) "On the 3rd floor of this book company down here, we found empty rifle hulls, and it looked like the man had been here for some time"--Insp. J.H. Sawyer. (DPD radio, CE 1974 p176)
    b) "Police found the remains of fried chicken and paper on the fifth floor. Apparently, the person had been there quite a while."--Insp. Sawyer, Stockton Record (AP), 11/22/63 p8. So, for Sawyer, "3rd floor" down translated as "5th
    floor" up.
    c) Sheriff's deputies, upstairs, were torn between 5th floor (Faulkner, Wiseman) and 6th floor (Mooney, McCurley, Weatherford). The 6th-floor advocates tried to buttress their case by saying that they saw Sawyer's 5th-floor chicken
    remains in the 6th-floor "nest". But Crime Lab Det. Studebaker went along with Sawyer: He said that the remains "ought to be" in his pictures, taken on the 6th floor, but they were not. (v7p147) The 6th-floor advocates--caught between Sawyer and
    Studebaker. The telltale chicken, then, rather than buttressing their case, actually sabotages it.

    Finally, a deputy downstairs and outside completes my triangulation. Chief Criminal Deputy Allen Sweatt reported, "While I was still at the front of the building, Dep. Sheriff Luke Mooney stuck his head out of the 5th floor window and
    stated he had found some spent cartridge cases. (Decker Exhibit 5323 p531, 11/23/63)

    At about 12:58, then, Mooney stuck his head out of the SE corner window, on the 5th floor, and reported finding the spent shells. And there's the picture of him doing just that, on page 519 of Trask. And there's your 5th-floor-HQ
    conspiracy.

    You've been a great audience, thank you!

    dcw
    Even though there was a black man firing a rifle on the 5th floor, I think Mooney discovered the 6th floor "sniper's nest." There's no evidence of piled up boxes in the photography on the 5th floor.
    There's evidence of something besides a human figure in the 5th-floor "nest" in the Weaver Polaroid. There are white somethings all along the bottom of the pic.
    And certainly it would have been part of the plan to immediately pick up the expended hulls on the 5th floor.
    Since Fritz was up there early,
    He wasn`t, he went to Parkland.
    I think it happened pretty immediately, upon discovery. For instance, Haygood, who originally said he saw the shells with the boxes, forgot all about shells for the HSCA. He remembered inconsequential things, though.

    If somebody wanted to know what a gish gallop is, all they would have to do is read one of Don's
    posts. They are the essence of what a gish gallop is. The more current vernacular is "word salad".
    Whatever term is applied to them, his posts are almost impossible to follow. It's like trying to
    make sense of a Jackson Pollock painting. He just throws a bunch of shit on the wall and then
    tries to tell us what it means. I gave up long ago trying to follow his goofy reasoning. I'd get
    migraines from trying. It's amazing how many illogical conclusions a man can pack into one
    post of about a half dozen paragraphs. Whoever said you can't put ten pounds of shit in a five
    pound bag never read one of Don's posts.
    I have to take it back--you're a *lousy* audience. Notice how John Robot generalizes re how my posts are impossible to follow.
    I`ve never been able to follow them. I don`t even try any more, I still haven`t read your first post in this thread, I don`t bother because your reasoning is so tortured I can`t follow it.
    It's just that it goes against your firmly-held beliefs.
    It is right in line with my belief that conspiracy folks play silly games with the evidence in this case. You are like a child, placing one fantastic thing on top of another to create something you find personally appealing.

    And you haven`t explained why it should be expected that micro-analyzing the movements of cops responding to a crime would give insight into the crime they are responding to.

    Their falsifying their movements suggests that they falsified their actual investigation into that crime.

    dcw

    Notice also how he does not give ONE instance of that. Perhaps he's still smarting from when Hank had to help him out to get the connection between Commission testimony and references therein to CE photos. He took the words in Bob Jackson's
    testimony at face value, without bothering to check what Jackson meant by "halfway" (page 159). That made Jackson's testimony, for Mr. Robot, "impossible to follow"! I think he needs Hank's help again, poor boy...

    I have no fucking idea what you are even talking about. As usual, your gish gallop is
    incomprehensible.
    Here's more on your 2020 gaffe: (from alt.conspiracy.jfk 9/2/2020)

    " In [Corbett's] first attack, he asserted that witness Bob Jackson's word "halfway", in his Commission testimony, "shoots down [my] argument" (7/9), ignoring the fact that Jackson indicated to counsel, as an illustration of the word "halfway", a
    window which was actually open as far as it could have been open. I suspect that Jackson is not usually thought of as a witness to a wide-open window because few people have apparently gone beyond that word "halfway" and actually looked at the photo
    which he was looking at.
    Next, Mr. Corbett decided that "wide open" was a "vague" term: "It doesn't mean all the way open" (7/31): It's no more vague than "halfway", which word he embraces and could, yes, mean a window which was open a few inches more or less than halfway.
    No one had their tape measures out on 11/22/63, except perhaps the DPD Crime Lab personnel.
    Then Mr. Corbett admittedly followed a certain logic (8/2) when he wrote that a shooter would certainly only open the "window partially... in order to maintain partial concealment", and a mere onlooker "would have opened it all the way", for a
    better view. He fails to entertain the possibility that the assassination planners might have been sophisticated enough to reverse that logic, intentionally, the better to throw off students of Logic 1A. That is, the partially-opened window seems to have
    been simply a ruse--and a pretty ingenious one at that--and--illogical or not--the shooter seems to have fired from a wide-open window, despite Mr. Corbett's Rules for Snipers.
    The giveaway is the fact that the suspect--contrary to what Mr. Corbett suggests--hardly maintained "partial concealment". He used that wide-open window as a stage on which he could make himself seen, by walking to and from the window "to my
    knowledge a couple of times" (Howard Brennan/v3p143), and by sitting "sideways on the window sill" (p144), and by having the window open so far that witness Ronald Fischer "wouldn't have been able to see past the top of his head had it not been" (v6p199).
    And a third witness, Robert Edwards, "noticed that he seemed to be laying down there or in a funny position anyway" (11/22/63 affidavit). Whatever was intended by this display, the suspect succeeded in drawing attention both to that area of the
    depository and to himself, perhaps--in the latter case--to provide a basis for the forthcoming suspect suspect-description from DPD Insp. Sawyer, which could have come from nowhere else in the plaza, though the nutty precision of "five feet ten, one
    sixty five" (Sawyer Exh A) is still a stretch, even with that much southern exposure .
    In his next volley, Mr. Corbett posited that a "few witnesses.. misremembered that the shooter had fired from a wide open window" (8/5). First, it was actually four witnesses, not a "few". A "few" might, yes, "misremember". But a chorus of four is
    harder to dismiss. And another witness, Malcolm Couch, testified that it was his "impression that [the window] was all the way open" (v6p157). Only an impression, but it tallies with the more-definite observations of the other four. And to buy Mr.
    Corbett's "misremembered", you have to dismiss the fact that Edwards said that "the window was wide open all the way"--in his same-day affidavit.
    On 8/8, Mr. Corbett finally admitted that "the westernmost window on the sixth floor was wide open". Unfortunately, on 8/10, he forthwith cancelled out his admission with "we have a few vague descriptions of the shooters window as wide open". And
    yet that westernmost window which Jackson indicated was not "vaguely" wide open. It was wide open. Mr. Corbett giveth and Mr. Corbett taketh away, blessed be the name...."

    And admission, then, and an evasion, from M. Corbett.

    There as no admission and no evasion. Just your usual FUBAR way of looking at things.
    You are the Forest Gump of acj. Stupid is as stupid does.

    https://english-grammar-lessons.com/stupid-is-as-stupid-does-meaning/

    Meaning
    “Stupid is as stupid does” is a playground retort between young children that evolved into cultural use in adult society over the years. The phrase carries the meaning of someone identified as stupid through their actions rather than their appearance.

    The phrase means that stupid people will do silly things, and you can single them out by looking at their methodology and results with handling tasks. However, woke groups are targeting the use of this phrase, saying that the word “stupid” is
    derogatory.

    The description fits you perfectly.

    c) Sheriff's deputies, upstairs, were torn between 5th floor (Faulkner, Wiseman) and 6th floor (Mooney, McCurley, Weatherford). The 6th-floor advocates tried to buttress their case by saying that they saw Sawyer's 5th-floor chicken
    remains in the 6th-floor "nest". But Crime Lab Det. Studebaker went along with Sawyer: He said that the remains "ought to be" in his pictures, taken on the 6th floor, but they were not. (v7p147) The 6th-floor advocates--caught between Sawyer and
    Studebaker. The telltale chicken, then, rather than buttressing their case, actually sabotages it.

    Finally, a deputy downstairs and outside completes my triangulation. Chief Criminal Deputy Allen Sweatt reported, "While I was still at the front of the building, Dep. Sheriff Luke Mooney stuck his head out of the 5th floor window
    and stated he had found some spent cartridge cases. (Decker Exhibit 5323 p531, 11/23/63)

    At about 12:58, then, Mooney stuck his head out of the SE corner window, on the 5th floor, and reported finding the spent shells. And there's the picture of him doing just that, on page 519 of Trask. And there's your 5th-floor-HQ
    conspiracy.

    You've been a great audience, thank you!

    dcw
    Even though there was a black man firing a rifle on the 5th floor, I think Mooney discovered the 6th floor "sniper's nest." There's no evidence of piled up boxes in the photography on the 5th floor.
    There's evidence of something besides a human figure in the 5th-floor "nest" in the Weaver Polaroid. There are white somethings all along the bottom of the pic.
    And certainly it would have been part of the plan to immediately pick up the expended hulls on the 5th floor.
    Since Fritz was up there early,
    He wasn`t, he went to Parkland.
    No, he didn't. Check the radio log transcriptions:

    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) What hospital did the President go to?
    Dispatcher Parkland Hospital
    Dispatcher 303, where are you?
    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) Parkland Hospital
    300 (Capt. John Will Fritz) 300, en route
    Dispatcher 300, are you en route to Elm and Hourson to that store?
    300 En route to the hospital.

    Then check Fritz's testimony & the Sims/Boyd report: Fritz testified, falsely (as you see, above), that he was with Sims & Boyd in the same car to Parkland. He was in a different car, supposedly en route to Parkland, while Sims & Boyd were
    already there. Sims & Boyd went to Parkland, Fritz did not.
    So him saying he was going to the hospital means he didn`t go to the hospital?
    Him saying he went to the hospital is like him saying, as he did, that he went to Parkland in the same car as Boyd & Sims. The radio logs prove he did not.
    So the radio log says he went to Parkland.
    A lie. It says that HE says he is GOING to Parkland, not that he want. LN truth-bending time...
    He testified that he went to Parkland. Boyd testifies that Fritz went to Parkland. Sims testifies that Fritz went to Parkland.
    They're his Homicide boys. What else are they going to say? Consider the source, Bud.
    And to you this means he didn`t go to Parkland.
    If he lied about that, you're going to believe he didn't lie about going to Parkland at all? You have to admit that he lied about how he got there, if he did. Why would he lie, in other words, about one thing and not the other? We have only his
    word that he was "en route"... somewhere.
    Sims or Boyd may have misheard or misunderstood the dispatch
    Speculation.
    That they lied when they testified is speculation that is a thousand times more fantastic.
    Yet there's the truth right there in the DPD radio logs!

    Where doe sit say Fritz didn`t go to Parkland in the DPD radio logs?

    dcw

    I offered a possibility that requires nothing fantastic.
    dcw
    , thinking they were being asked where they were going. One of them answered "Parkland", and Fritz took the radio to correct that information, that they weren`t there yet, just "en route".
    dcw
    I think it happened pretty immediately, upon discovery. For instance, Haygood, who originally said he saw the shells with the boxes, forgot all about shells for the HSCA. He remembered inconsequential things, though.
    Two of them probably were doing that when the "Powell Photo" was taken.
    Not *that* immediately. I think there had to be *some* basis provided for searchers seeing shells in situ, & other, phony sighters were then enlisted, like Haygood. After all, he stole, with Henslee's help, (LL) Hill's 12:37
    transmissions...

    Mooney's holler--the Rosetta stone for conspiracy

    (I had a complaint here recently about over-lengthy posts, so I'll have to make this short and sweet. I aim to please.)

    Both sides want to see proof that there was a conspiracy in Dealey Plaza, in 1963. Here it is, direct and brutal, though this post cannot stay s&s *and* identify the depository shooter.

    I have long been curious about one photo in "Pictures of the Pain", page 519, taken at "approximately 1:00", from half a block away, and across Houston. Too far away, for identification purposes, both from the figure in the window in
    question and the figures in the street just below. Recently, however, I realized that the figure in the window need not be identified photographically. The figure is *there*--that's all that's needed. That and the time he was there. He can be identified
    by a sort of triangulation, of time, location, and witness observation. The person in question is in the SE corner window, above Elm, on the fifth floor.

    Time: a) "I saw the expended shells... I leaned out the window... I hollered... It was approaching 1 o'clock"--Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney". (v3p284-5)
    b) At 12:58 or 12:59, DPD Sgt. G.V. Harkness radioed for the Crime Lab people to come to the depository. At 12:59, the dispatcher radioed that they were enroute. (CE 1974 p41)
    c) Crime Lab's Lt. Day testified, "Shortly before 1 o'clock, I received a call from the police dispatcher to go to 411 Elm St. I went out of my office almost straight up 1 o'clock." (v4p249)

    Location: a) "On the 3rd floor of this book company down here, we found empty rifle hulls, and it looked like the man had been here for some time"--Insp. J.H. Sawyer. (DPD radio, CE 1974 p176)
    b) "Police found the remains of fried chicken and paper on the fifth floor. Apparently, the person had been there quite a while."--Insp. Sawyer, Stockton Record (AP), 11/22/63 p8. So, for Sawyer, "3rd floor" down translated as "5th

    If somebody wanted to know what a gish gallop is, all they would have to do is read one of Don's
    posts. They are the essence of what a gish gallop is. The more current vernacular is "word salad".
    Whatever term is applied to them, his posts are almost impossible to follow. It's like trying to
    make sense of a Jackson Pollock painting. He just throws a bunch of shit on the wall and then
    tries to tell us what it means. I gave up long ago trying to follow his goofy reasoning. I'd get
    migraines from trying. It's amazing how many illogical conclusions a man can pack into one
    post of about a half dozen paragraphs. Whoever said you can't put ten pounds of shit in a five
    pound bag never read one of Don's posts.
    I have to take it back--you're a *lousy* audience. Notice how John Robot generalizes re how my posts are impossible to follow.
    I`ve never been able to follow them. I don`t even try any more, I still haven`t read your first post in this thread, I don`t bother because your reasoning is so tortured I can`t follow it.
    It's just that it goes against your firmly-held beliefs.
    It is right in line with my belief that conspiracy folks play silly games with the evidence in this case. You are like a child, placing one fantastic thing on top of another to create something you find personally appealing.

    And you haven`t explained why it should be expected that micro-analyzing the movements of cops responding to a crime would give insight into the crime they are responding to.
    Their falsifying their movements suggests that they falsified their actual investigation into that crime.

    The figments of your imagination support the figments of your imagination.

    dcw
    Notice also how he does not give ONE instance of that. Perhaps he's still smarting from when Hank had to help him out to get the connection between Commission testimony and references therein to CE photos. He took the words in Bob Jackson's
    testimony at face value, without bothering to check what Jackson meant by "halfway" (page 159). That made Jackson's testimony, for Mr. Robot, "impossible to follow"! I think he needs Hank's help again, poor boy...

    Yes, I know you'd like to forget the proof of your ignorance of Commission testimony/photo-evidence. It was an embarrassing day for you. Hank--you're little protegee needs you! Critter has no talent for argument, or reading...

    I have no fucking idea what you are even talking about. As usual, your gish gallop is
    incomprehensible.
    Here's more on your 2020 gaffe: (from alt.conspiracy.jfk 9/2/2020)

    " In [Corbett's] first attack, he asserted that witness Bob Jackson's word "halfway", in his Commission testimony, "shoots down [my] argument" (7/9), ignoring the fact that Jackson indicated to counsel, as an illustration of the word "halfway", a
    window which was actually open as far as it could have been open. I suspect that Jackson is not usually thought of as a witness to a wide-open window because few people have apparently gone beyond that word "halfway" and actually looked at the photo
    which he was looking at.
    Next, Mr. Corbett decided that "wide open" was a "vague" term: "It doesn't mean all the way open" (7/31): It's no more vague than "halfway", which word he embraces and could, yes, mean a window which was open a few inches more or less than
    halfway. No one had their tape measures out on 11/22/63, except perhaps the DPD Crime Lab personnel.
    Then Mr. Corbett admittedly followed a certain logic (8/2) when he wrote that a shooter would certainly only open the "window partially... in order to maintain partial concealment", and a mere onlooker "would have opened it all the way", for a
    better view. He fails to entertain the possibility that the assassination planners might have been sophisticated enough to reverse that logic, intentionally, the better to throw off students of Logic 1A. That is, the partially-opened window seems to have
    been simply a ruse--and a pretty ingenious one at that--and--illogical or not--the shooter seems to have fired from a wide-open window, despite Mr. Corbett's Rules for Snipers.
    The giveaway is the fact that the suspect--contrary to what Mr. Corbett suggests--hardly maintained "partial concealment". He used that wide-open window as a stage on which he could make himself seen, by walking to and from the window "to my
    knowledge a couple of times" (Howard Brennan/v3p143), and by sitting "sideways on the window sill" (p144), and by having the window open so far that witness Ronald Fischer "wouldn't have been able to see past the top of his head had it not been" (v6p199).
    And a third witness, Robert Edwards, "noticed that he seemed to be laying down there or in a funny position anyway" (11/22/63 affidavit). Whatever was intended by this display, the suspect succeeded in drawing attention both to that area of the
    depository and to himself, perhaps--in the latter case--to provide a basis for the forthcoming suspect suspect-description from DPD Insp. Sawyer, which could have come from nowhere else in the plaza, though the nutty precision of "five feet ten, one
    sixty five" (Sawyer Exh A) is still a stretch, even with that much southern exposure .
    In his next volley, Mr. Corbett posited that a "few witnesses.. misremembered that the shooter had fired from a wide open window" (8/5). First, it was actually four witnesses, not a "few". A "few" might, yes, "misremember". But a chorus of four
    is harder to dismiss. And another witness, Malcolm Couch, testified that it was his "impression that [the window] was all the way open" (v6p157). Only an impression, but it tallies with the more-definite observations of the other four. And to buy Mr.
    Corbett's "misremembered", you have to dismiss the fact that Edwards said that "the window was wide open all the way"--in his same-day affidavit.
    On 8/8, Mr. Corbett finally admitted that "the westernmost window on the sixth floor was wide open". Unfortunately, on 8/10, he forthwith cancelled out his admission with "we have a few vague descriptions of the shooters window as wide open". And
    yet that westernmost window which Jackson indicated was not "vaguely" wide open. It was wide open. Mr. Corbett giveth and Mr. Corbett taketh away, blessed be the name...."

    And admission, then, and an evasion, from M. Corbett.

    There as no admission and no evasion.

    You either have a very poor memory (and reading skills) or you're clinically insane. It took you weeks to admit that Jackson testified that the sniper's window was wide open, like the window at the far-west end of the 6th floor. He called it "halfway"
    open, but the photo says otherwise, as you finally admitted. Guess your mind has degenerated in the meantime!

    dcw

    Just your usual FUBAR way of looking at things.
    You are the Forest Gump of acj. Stupid is as stupid does.

    https://english-grammar-lessons.com/stupid-is-as-stupid-does-meaning/

    Meaning
    “Stupid is as stupid does” is a playground retort between young children that evolved into cultural use in adult society over the years. The phrase carries the meaning of someone identified as stupid through their actions rather than their
    appearance.

    The phrase means that stupid people will do silly things, and you can single them out by looking at their methodology and results with handling tasks. However, woke groups are targeting the use of this phrase, saying that the word “stupid” is
    derogatory.

    The description fits you perfectly.

    Mooney's holler--the Rosetta stone for conspiracy

    (I had a complaint here recently about over-lengthy posts, so I'll have to make this short and sweet. I aim to please.)

    Both sides want to see proof that there was a conspiracy in Dealey Plaza, in 1963. Here it is, direct and brutal, though this post cannot stay s&s *and* identify the depository shooter.

    I have long been curious about one photo in "Pictures of the Pain", page 519, taken at "approximately 1:00", from half a block away, and across Houston. Too far away, for identification purposes, both from the figure in the window
    in question and the figures in the street just below. Recently, however, I realized that the figure in the window need not be identified photographically. The figure is *there*--that's all that's needed. That and the time he was there. He can be
    identified by a sort of triangulation, of time, location, and witness observation. The person in question is in the SE corner window, above Elm, on the fifth floor.

    Time: a) "I saw the expended shells... I leaned out the window... I hollered... It was approaching 1 o'clock"--Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney". (v3p284-5)
    b) At 12:58 or 12:59, DPD Sgt. G.V. Harkness radioed for the Crime Lab people to come to the depository. At 12:59, the dispatcher radioed that they were enroute. (CE 1974 p41)
    c) Crime Lab's Lt. Day testified, "Shortly before 1 o'clock, I received a call from the police dispatcher to go to 411 Elm St. I went out of my office almost straight up 1 o'clock." (v4p249)

    Location: a) "On the 3rd floor of this book company down here, we found empty rifle hulls, and it looked like the man had been here for some time"--Insp. J.H. Sawyer. (DPD radio, CE 1974 p176)
    b) "Police found the remains of fried chicken and paper on the fifth floor. Apparently, the person had been there quite a while."--Insp. Sawyer, Stockton Record (AP), 11/22/63 p8. So, for Sawyer, "3rd floor" down translated as "
    5th floor" up.
    c) Sheriff's deputies, upstairs, were torn between 5th floor (Faulkner, Wiseman) and 6th floor (Mooney, McCurley, Weatherford). The 6th-floor advocates tried to buttress their case by saying that they saw Sawyer's 5th-floor
    chicken remains in the 6th-floor "nest". But Crime Lab Det. Studebaker went along with Sawyer: He said that the remains "ought to be" in his pictures, taken on the 6th floor, but they were not. (v7p147) The 6th-floor advocates--caught between Sawyer and
    Studebaker. The telltale chicken, then, rather than buttressing their case, actually sabotages it.

    Finally, a deputy downstairs and outside completes my triangulation. Chief Criminal Deputy Allen Sweatt reported, "While I was still at the front of the building, Dep. Sheriff Luke Mooney stuck his head out of the 5th floor window
    and stated he had found some spent cartridge cases. (Decker Exhibit 5323 p531, 11/23/63)

    At about 12:58, then, Mooney stuck his head out of the SE corner window, on the 5th floor, and reported finding the spent shells. And there's the picture of him doing just that, on page 519 of Trask. And there's your 5th-floor-HQ
    conspiracy.

    You've been a great audience, thank you!

    dcw
    Even though there was a black man firing a rifle on the 5th floor, I think Mooney discovered the 6th floor "sniper's nest." There's no evidence of piled up boxes in the photography on the 5th floor.
    There's evidence of something besides a human figure in the 5th-floor "nest" in the Weaver Polaroid. There are white somethings all along the bottom of the pic.
    And certainly it would have been part of the plan to immediately pick up the expended hulls on the 5th floor.
    Since Fritz was up there early,
    He wasn`t, he went to Parkland.
    No, he didn't. Check the radio log transcriptions:

    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) What hospital did the President go to?
    Dispatcher Parkland Hospital
    Dispatcher 303, where are you?
    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) Parkland Hospital
    300 (Capt. John Will Fritz) 300, en route
    Dispatcher 300, are you en route to Elm and Hourson to that store?
    300 En route to the hospital.

    Then check Fritz's testimony & the Sims/Boyd report: Fritz testified, falsely (as you see, above), that he was with Sims & Boyd in the same car to Parkland. He was in a different car, supposedly en route to Parkland, while Sims & Boyd
    were already there. Sims & Boyd went to Parkland, Fritz did not.
    So him saying he was going to the hospital means he didn`t go to the hospital?
    Him saying he went to the hospital is like him saying, as he did, that he went to Parkland in the same car as Boyd & Sims. The radio logs prove he did not.
    So the radio log says he went to Parkland.
    A lie. It says that HE says he is GOING to Parkland, not that he want. LN truth-bending time...
    He testified that he went to Parkland. Boyd testifies that Fritz went to Parkland. Sims testifies that Fritz went to Parkland.
    They're his Homicide boys. What else are they going to say? Consider the source, Bud.
    And to you this means he didn`t go to Parkland.
    If he lied about that, you're going to believe he didn't lie about going to Parkland at all? You have to admit that he lied about how he got there, if he did. Why would he lie, in other words, about one thing and not the other? We have only
    his word that he was "en route"... somewhere.
    Sims or Boyd may have misheard or misunderstood the dispatch
    Speculation.
    That they lied when they testified is speculation that is a thousand times more fantastic.
    Yet there's the truth right there in the DPD radio logs!
    Where doe sit say Fritz didn`t go to Parkland in the DPD radio logs?

    Last we heard from him he was on his way. But he also said he went with Boyd & Sims, but the logs prove otherwise.

    dcw

    PS And he certainly "didn't go to Parkland in the DPD radio logs"--he would have gone in a car, if he had gone...

    dcw

    I offered a possibility that requires nothing fantastic.
    dcw
    , thinking they were being asked where they were going. One of them answered "Parkland", and Fritz took the radio to correct that information, that they weren`t there yet, just "en route".
    dcw
    I think it happened pretty immediately, upon discovery. For instance, Haygood, who originally said he saw the shells with the boxes, forgot all about shells for the HSCA. He remembered inconsequential things, though.
    Two of them probably were doing that when the "Powell Photo" was taken.
    Not *that* immediately. I think there had to be *some* basis provided for searchers seeing shells in situ, & other, phony sighters were then enlisted, like Haygood. After all, he stole, with Henslee's help, (LL) Hill's 12:37
    transmissions...

    If somebody wanted to know what a gish gallop is, all they would have to do is read one of Don's
    posts. They are the essence of what a gish gallop is. The more current vernacular is "word salad".
    Whatever term is applied to them, his posts are almost impossible to follow. It's like trying to
    make sense of a Jackson Pollock painting. He just throws a bunch of shit on the wall and then
    tries to tell us what it means. I gave up long ago trying to follow his goofy reasoning. I'd get
    migraines from trying. It's amazing how many illogical conclusions a man can pack into one
    post of about a half dozen paragraphs. Whoever said you can't put ten pounds of shit in a five
    pound bag never read one of Don's posts.
    I have to take it back--you're a *lousy* audience. Notice how John Robot generalizes re how my posts are impossible to follow.
    Generally, they are.
    Notice also how he does not give ONE instance of that.
    I don't need to. You provide plenty.
    Opinion masquerading as incisive comment.
    Perhaps he's still smarting from when Hank had to help him out to get the connection between Commission testimony and references therein to CE photos.
    HUH???
    Are you truly ignorant or just pretending to be ignorant?
    You don't need to pretend.
    He took the words in Bob Jackson's testimony at face value, without bothering to check what Jackson meant by "halfway" (page 159). That made Jackson's testimony, for Mr. Robot, "impossible to follow"! I think he needs Hank's help again,
    poor boy...

    Another word salad.
    Yes, I know you'd like to forget the proof of your ignorance of Commission testimony/photo-evidence. It was an embarrassing day for you. Hank--you're little protegee needs you! Critter has no talent for argument, or reading...

    I have no fucking idea what you are even talking about. As usual, your gish gallop is
    incomprehensible.
    Here's more on your 2020 gaffe: (from alt.conspiracy.jfk 9/2/2020)

    " In [Corbett's] first attack, he asserted that witness Bob Jackson's word "halfway", in his Commission testimony, "shoots down [my] argument" (7/9), ignoring the fact that Jackson indicated to counsel, as an illustration of the word "halfway",
    a window which was actually open as far as it could have been open. I suspect that Jackson is not usually thought of as a witness to a wide-open window because few people have apparently gone beyond that word "halfway" and actually looked at the photo
    which he was looking at.
    Next, Mr. Corbett decided that "wide open" was a "vague" term: "It doesn't mean all the way open" (7/31): It's no more vague than "halfway", which word he embraces and could, yes, mean a window which was open a few inches more or less than
    halfway. No one had their tape measures out on 11/22/63, except perhaps the DPD Crime Lab personnel.
    Then Mr. Corbett admittedly followed a certain logic (8/2) when he wrote that a shooter would certainly only open the "window partially... in order to maintain partial concealment", and a mere onlooker "would have opened it all the way", for a
    better view. He fails to entertain the possibility that the assassination planners might have been sophisticated enough to reverse that logic, intentionally, the better to throw off students of Logic 1A. That is, the partially-opened window seems to have
    been simply a ruse--and a pretty ingenious one at that--and--illogical or not--the shooter seems to have fired from a wide-open window, despite Mr. Corbett's Rules for Snipers.
    The giveaway is the fact that the suspect--contrary to what Mr. Corbett suggests--hardly maintained "partial concealment". He used that wide-open window as a stage on which he could make himself seen, by walking to and from the window "to my
    knowledge a couple of times" (Howard Brennan/v3p143), and by sitting "sideways on the window sill" (p144), and by having the window open so far that witness Ronald Fischer "wouldn't have been able to see past the top of his head had it not been" (v6p199).
    And a third witness, Robert Edwards, "noticed that he seemed to be laying down there or in a funny position anyway" (11/22/63 affidavit). Whatever was intended by this display, the suspect succeeded in drawing attention both to that area of the
    depository and to himself, perhaps--in the latter case--to provide a basis for the forthcoming suspect suspect-description from DPD Insp. Sawyer, which could have come from nowhere else in the plaza, though the nutty precision of "five feet ten, one
    sixty five" (Sawyer Exh A) is still a stretch, even with that much southern exposure .
    In his next volley, Mr. Corbett posited that a "few witnesses.. misremembered that the shooter had fired from a wide open window" (8/5). First, it was actually four witnesses, not a "few". A "few" might, yes, "misremember". But a chorus of four
    is harder to dismiss. And another witness, Malcolm Couch, testified that it was his "impression that [the window] was all the way open" (v6p157). Only an impression, but it tallies with the more-definite observations of the other four. And to buy Mr.
    Corbett's "misremembered", you have to dismiss the fact that Edwards said that "the window was wide open all the way"--in his same-day affidavit.
    On 8/8, Mr. Corbett finally admitted that "the westernmost window on the sixth floor was wide open". Unfortunately, on 8/10, he forthwith cancelled out his admission with "we have a few vague descriptions of the shooters window as wide open".
    And yet that westernmost window which Jackson indicated was not "vaguely" wide open. It was wide open. Mr. Corbett giveth and Mr. Corbett taketh away, blessed be the name...."

    And admission, then, and an evasion, from M. Corbett.

    There as no admission and no evasion.
    You either have a very poor memory (and reading skills) or you're clinically insane. It took you weeks to admit that Jackson testified that the sniper's window was wide open, like the window at the far-west end of the 6th floor. He called it "halfway"
    open, but the photo says otherwise, as you finally admitted. Guess your mind has degenerated in the meantime!

    At no time have I ever disputed what Jackson said. Unlike you, I'm not dumb enough to read
    more into it than is there. There are inconsistencies in his description of how wide open the
    window was. The important thing is he placed the shooter on the 6th floor where the shells
    and the rifle were found. All the witnesses placed the shooter on that floor. That trumps any
    descriptions of how wide open the window was. You're just too dumb to figure that out.

    (I had a complaint here recently about over-lengthy posts, so I'll have to make this short and sweet. I aim to please.)

    Both sides want to see proof that there was a conspiracy in Dealey Plaza, in 1963. Here it is, direct and brutal, though this post cannot stay s&s *and* identify the depository shooter.

    I have long been curious about one photo in "Pictures of the Pain", page 519, taken at "approximately 1:00", from half a block away, and across Houston. Too far away, for identification purposes, both from the figure in the window in question and
    the figures in the street just below. Recently, however, I realized that the figure in the window need not be identified photographically. The figure is *there*--that's all that's needed. That and the time he was there. He can be identified by a sort of
    triangulation, of time, location, and witness observation. The person in question is in the SE corner window, above Elm, on the fifth floor.

    Time: a) "I saw the expended shells... I leaned out the window... I hollered... It was approaching 1 o'clock"--Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney". (v3p284-5)
    b) At 12:58 or 12:59, DPD Sgt. G.V. Harkness radioed for the Crime Lab people to come to the depository. At 12:59, the dispatcher radioed that they were enroute. (CE 1974 p41)
    c) Crime Lab's Lt. Day testified, "Shortly before 1 o'clock, I received a call from the police dispatcher to go to 411 Elm St. I went out of my office almost straight up 1 o'clock." (v4p249)

    Location: a) "On the 3rd floor of this book company down here, we found empty rifle hulls, and it looked like the man had been here for some time"--Insp. J.H. Sawyer. (DPD radio, CE 1974 p176)
    b) "Police found the remains of fried chicken and paper on the fifth floor. Apparently, the person had been there quite a while."--Insp. Sawyer, Stockton Record (AP), 11/22/63 p8. So, for Sawyer, "3rd floor" down translated as "5th floor" up.
    c) Sheriff's deputies, upstairs, were torn between 5th floor (Faulkner, Wiseman) and 6th floor (Mooney, McCurley, Weatherford). The 6th-floor advocates tried to buttress their case by saying that they saw Sawyer's 5th-floor chicken remains in the
    6th-floor "nest". But Crime Lab Det. Studebaker went along with Sawyer: He said that the remains "ought to be" in his pictures, taken on the 6th floor, but they were not. (v7p147) The 6th-floor advocates--caught between Sawyer and Studebaker. The

    Even though there was a black man firing a rifle on the 5th floor, I think Mooney discovered the 6th floor "sniper's nest." There's no evidence of piled up boxes in the photography on the 5th floor.
    There's evidence of something besides a human figure in the 5th-floor "nest" in the Weaver Polaroid. There are white somethings all along the bottom of the pic.

    I think it happened pretty immediately, upon discovery. For instance, Haygood, who originally said he saw the shells with the boxes, forgot all about shells for the HSCA. He remembered inconsequential things, though.
    Two of them probably were doing that when the "Powell Photo" was taken.
    Not *that* immediately. I think there had to be *some* basis provided for searchers seeing shells in situ, & other, phony sighters were then enlisted, like Haygood. After all, he stole, with Henslee's help, (LL) Hill's 12:37
    transmissions...

    If somebody wanted to know what a gish gallop is, all they would have to do is read one of Don's
    posts. They are the essence of what a gish gallop is. The more current vernacular is "word salad".
    Whatever term is applied to them, his posts are almost impossible to follow. It's like trying to
    make sense of a Jackson Pollock painting. He just throws a bunch of shit on the wall and then
    tries to tell us what it means. I gave up long ago trying to follow his goofy reasoning. I'd get
    migraines from trying. It's amazing how many illogical conclusions a man can pack into one
    post of about a half dozen paragraphs. Whoever said you can't put ten pounds of shit in a five
    pound bag never read one of Don's posts.
    I have to take it back--you're a *lousy* audience. Notice how John Robot generalizes re how my posts are impossible to follow.
    Generally, they are.
    Notice also how he does not give ONE instance of that.
    I don't need to. You provide plenty.
    Opinion masquerading as incisive comment.
    Perhaps he's still smarting from when Hank had to help him out to get the connection between Commission testimony and references therein to CE photos.
    HUH???
    Are you truly ignorant or just pretending to be ignorant?
    You don't need to pretend.
    He took the words in Bob Jackson's testimony at face value, without bothering to check what Jackson meant by "halfway" (page 159). That made Jackson's testimony, for Mr. Robot, "impossible to follow"! I think he needs Hank's help again,
    poor boy...

    Another word salad.
    Yes, I know you'd like to forget the proof of your ignorance of Commission testimony/photo-evidence. It was an embarrassing day for you. Hank--you're little protegee needs you! Critter has no talent for argument, or reading...

    I have no fucking idea what you are even talking about. As usual, your gish gallop is
    incomprehensible.
    Here's more on your 2020 gaffe: (from alt.conspiracy.jfk 9/2/2020)

    " In [Corbett's] first attack, he asserted that witness Bob Jackson's word "halfway", in his Commission testimony, "shoots down [my] argument" (7/9), ignoring the fact that Jackson indicated to counsel, as an illustration of the word "halfway",
    a window which was actually open as far as it could have been open. I suspect that Jackson is not usually thought of as a witness to a wide-open window because few people have apparently gone beyond that word "halfway" and actually looked at the photo
    which he was looking at.
    Next, Mr. Corbett decided that "wide open" was a "vague" term: "It doesn't mean all the way open" (7/31): It's no more vague than "halfway", which word he embraces and could, yes, mean a window which was open a few inches more or less than
    halfway. No one had their tape measures out on 11/22/63, except perhaps the DPD Crime Lab personnel.
    Then Mr. Corbett admittedly followed a certain logic (8/2) when he wrote that a shooter would certainly only open the "window partially... in order to maintain partial concealment", and a mere onlooker "would have opened it all the way", for
    a better view. He fails to entertain the possibility that the assassination planners might have been sophisticated enough to reverse that logic, intentionally, the better to throw off students of Logic 1A. That is, the partially-opened window seems to
    have been simply a ruse--and a pretty ingenious one at that--and--illogical or not--the shooter seems to have fired from a wide-open window, despite Mr. Corbett's Rules for Snipers.
    The giveaway is the fact that the suspect--contrary to what Mr. Corbett suggests--hardly maintained "partial concealment". He used that wide-open window as a stage on which he could make himself seen, by walking to and from the window "to my
    knowledge a couple of times" (Howard Brennan/v3p143), and by sitting "sideways on the window sill" (p144), and by having the window open so far that witness Ronald Fischer "wouldn't have been able to see past the top of his head had it not been" (v6p199).
    And a third witness, Robert Edwards, "noticed that he seemed to be laying down there or in a funny position anyway" (11/22/63 affidavit). Whatever was intended by this display, the suspect succeeded in drawing attention both to that area of the
    depository and to himself, perhaps--in the latter case--to provide a basis for the forthcoming suspect suspect-description from DPD Insp. Sawyer, which could have come from nowhere else in the plaza, though the nutty precision of "five feet ten, one
    sixty five" (Sawyer Exh A) is still a stretch, even with that much southern exposure .
    In his next volley, Mr. Corbett posited that a "few witnesses.. misremembered that the shooter had fired from a wide open window" (8/5). First, it was actually four witnesses, not a "few". A "few" might, yes, "misremember". But a chorus of
    four is harder to dismiss. And another witness, Malcolm Couch, testified that it was his "impression that [the window] was all the way open" (v6p157). Only an impression, but it tallies with the more-definite observations of the other four. And to buy Mr.
    Corbett's "misremembered", you have to dismiss the fact that Edwards said that "the window was wide open all the way"--in his same-day affidavit.
    On 8/8, Mr. Corbett finally admitted that "the westernmost window on the sixth floor was wide open". Unfortunately, on 8/10, he forthwith cancelled out his admission with "we have a few vague descriptions of the shooters window as wide open".
    And yet that westernmost window which Jackson indicated was not "vaguely" wide open. It was wide open. Mr. Corbett giveth and Mr. Corbett taketh away, blessed be the name...."

    And admission, then, and an evasion, from M. Corbett.

    There as no admission and no evasion.
    You either have a very poor memory (and reading skills) or you're clinically insane. It took you weeks to admit that Jackson testified that the sniper's window was wide open, like the window at the far-west end of the 6th floor. He called it "halfway"
    open, but the photo says otherwise, as you finally admitted. Guess your mind has degenerated in the meantime!

    At no time have I ever disputed what Jackson said.

    You even took his "halfway" at face value--until you deigned to look at the photo that he was referring to, a photo of a wide-open window, unlike the "nest"'s halfway-open window. Yet, you kept going back to "6th floor" witnesses, like Brennan, Fischer,
    & Edwards, who also said "wide open". Brennan even compared the "nest" window to the window just below, which was... wide open. And Fischer testified that he couldn't have seen as much of the suspect if the window had not been open so far! There's
    your "6th floor" witnesses! Not.

    And I'm really sorry that Skythrone, Ben, & I have driven you mad...

    dcw

    Unlike you, I'm not dumb enough to read
    more into it than is there. There are inconsistencies in his description of how wide open the
    window was. The important thing is he placed the shooter on the 6th floor where the shells
    and the rifle were found. All the witnesses placed the shooter on that floor. That trumps any

    Mooney's holler--the Rosetta stone for conspiracy

    (I had a complaint here recently about over-lengthy posts, so I'll have to make this short and sweet. I aim to please.)

    Both sides want to see proof that there was a conspiracy in Dealey Plaza, in 1963. Here it is, direct and brutal, though this post cannot stay s&s *and* identify the depository shooter.

    I have long been curious about one photo in "Pictures of the Pain", page 519, taken at "approximately 1:00", from half a block away, and across Houston. Too far away, for identification purposes, both from the figure in the
    window in question and the figures in the street just below. Recently, however, I realized that the figure in the window need not be identified photographically. The figure is *there*--that's all that's needed. That and the time he was there. He can be
    identified by a sort of triangulation, of time, location, and witness observation. The person in question is in the SE corner window, above Elm, on the fifth floor.

    Time: a) "I saw the expended shells... I leaned out the window... I hollered... It was approaching 1 o'clock"--Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney". (v3p284-5)
    b) At 12:58 or 12:59, DPD Sgt. G.V. Harkness radioed for the Crime Lab people to come to the depository. At 12:59, the dispatcher radioed that they were enroute. (CE 1974 p41)
    c) Crime Lab's Lt. Day testified, "Shortly before 1 o'clock, I received a call from the police dispatcher to go to 411 Elm St. I went out of my office almost straight up 1 o'clock." (v4p249)

    Location: a) "On the 3rd floor of this book company down here, we found empty rifle hulls, and it looked like the man had been here for some time"--Insp. J.H. Sawyer. (DPD radio, CE 1974 p176)
    b) "Police found the remains of fried chicken and paper on the fifth floor. Apparently, the person had been there quite a while."--Insp. Sawyer, Stockton Record (AP), 11/22/63 p8. So, for Sawyer, "3rd floor" down translated as
    "5th floor" up.
    c) Sheriff's deputies, upstairs, were torn between 5th floor (Faulkner, Wiseman) and 6th floor (Mooney, McCurley, Weatherford). The 6th-floor advocates tried to buttress their case by saying that they saw Sawyer's 5th-floor
    chicken remains in the 6th-floor "nest". But Crime Lab Det. Studebaker went along with Sawyer: He said that the remains "ought to be" in his pictures, taken on the 6th floor, but they were not. (v7p147) The 6th-floor advocates--caught between Sawyer and
    Studebaker. The telltale chicken, then, rather than buttressing their case, actually sabotages it.

    Finally, a deputy downstairs and outside completes my triangulation. Chief Criminal Deputy Allen Sweatt reported, "While I was still at the front of the building, Dep. Sheriff Luke Mooney stuck his head out of the 5th floor
    window and stated he had found some spent cartridge cases. (Decker Exhibit 5323 p531, 11/23/63)

    At about 12:58, then, Mooney stuck his head out of the SE corner window, on the 5th floor, and reported finding the spent shells. And there's the picture of him doing just that, on page 519 of Trask. And there's your 5th-floor-
    HQ conspiracy.

    You've been a great audience, thank you!

    dcw
    Even though there was a black man firing a rifle on the 5th floor, I think Mooney discovered the 6th floor "sniper's nest." There's no evidence of piled up boxes in the photography on the 5th floor.
    There's evidence of something besides a human figure in the 5th-floor "nest" in the Weaver Polaroid. There are white somethings all along the bottom of the pic.
    And certainly it would have been part of the plan to immediately pick up the expended hulls on the 5th floor.
    Since Fritz was up there early,
    He wasn`t, he went to Parkland.
    I think it happened pretty immediately, upon discovery. For instance, Haygood, who originally said he saw the shells with the boxes, forgot all about shells for the HSCA. He remembered inconsequential things, though.
    Two of them probably were doing that when the "Powell Photo" was taken.
    Not *that* immediately. I think there had to be *some* basis provided for searchers seeing shells in situ, & other, phony sighters were then enlisted, like Haygood. After all, he stole, with Henslee's help, (LL) Hill's 12:37
    transmissions...

    If somebody wanted to know what a gish gallop is, all they would have to do is read one of Don's
    posts. They are the essence of what a gish gallop is. The more current vernacular is "word salad".
    Whatever term is applied to them, his posts are almost impossible to follow. It's like trying to
    make sense of a Jackson Pollock painting. He just throws a bunch of shit on the wall and then
    tries to tell us what it means. I gave up long ago trying to follow his goofy reasoning. I'd get
    migraines from trying. It's amazing how many illogical conclusions a man can pack into one
    post of about a half dozen paragraphs. Whoever said you can't put ten pounds of shit in a five
    pound bag never read one of Don's posts.
    I have to take it back--you're a *lousy* audience. Notice how John Robot generalizes re how my posts are impossible to follow.
    Generally, they are.
    Notice also how he does not give ONE instance of that.
    I don't need to. You provide plenty.
    Opinion masquerading as incisive comment.
    Perhaps he's still smarting from when Hank had to help him out to get the connection between Commission testimony and references therein to CE photos.
    HUH???
    Are you truly ignorant or just pretending to be ignorant?
    You don't need to pretend.
    He took the words in Bob Jackson's testimony at face value, without bothering to check what Jackson meant by "halfway" (page 159). That made Jackson's testimony, for Mr. Robot, "impossible to follow"! I think he needs Hank's help again,
    poor boy...

    Another word salad.
    Yes, I know you'd like to forget the proof of your ignorance of Commission testimony/photo-evidence. It was an embarrassing day for you. Hank--you're little protegee needs you! Critter has no talent for argument, or reading...

    I have no fucking idea what you are even talking about. As usual, your gish gallop is
    incomprehensible.
    Here's more on your 2020 gaffe: (from alt.conspiracy.jfk 9/2/2020)

    " In [Corbett's] first attack, he asserted that witness Bob Jackson's word "halfway", in his Commission testimony, "shoots down [my] argument" (7/9), ignoring the fact that Jackson indicated to counsel, as an illustration of the word "
    halfway", a window which was actually open as far as it could have been open. I suspect that Jackson is not usually thought of as a witness to a wide-open window because few people have apparently gone beyond that word "halfway" and actually looked at
    the photo which he was looking at.
    Next, Mr. Corbett decided that "wide open" was a "vague" term: "It doesn't mean all the way open" (7/31): It's no more vague than "halfway", which word he embraces and could, yes, mean a window which was open a few inches more or less than
    halfway. No one had their tape measures out on 11/22/63, except perhaps the DPD Crime Lab personnel.
    Then Mr. Corbett admittedly followed a certain logic (8/2) when he wrote that a shooter would certainly only open the "window partially... in order to maintain partial concealment", and a mere onlooker "would have opened it all the way",
    for a better view. He fails to entertain the possibility that the assassination planners might have been sophisticated enough to reverse that logic, intentionally, the better to throw off students of Logic 1A. That is, the partially-opened window seems
    to have been simply a ruse--and a pretty ingenious one at that--and--illogical or not--the shooter seems to have fired from a wide-open window, despite Mr. Corbett's Rules for Snipers.
    The giveaway is the fact that the suspect--contrary to what Mr. Corbett suggests--hardly maintained "partial concealment". He used that wide-open window as a stage on which he could make himself seen, by walking to and from the window "to
    my knowledge a couple of times" (Howard Brennan/v3p143), and by sitting "sideways on the window sill" (p144), and by having the window open so far that witness Ronald Fischer "wouldn't have been able to see past the top of his head had it not been" (
    v6p199). And a third witness, Robert Edwards, "noticed that he seemed to be laying down there or in a funny position anyway" (11/22/63 affidavit). Whatever was intended by this display, the suspect succeeded in drawing attention both to that area of the
    depository and to himself, perhaps--in the latter case--to provide a basis for the forthcoming suspect suspect-description from DPD Insp. Sawyer, which could have come from nowhere else in the plaza, though the nutty precision of "five feet ten, one
    sixty five" (Sawyer Exh A) is still a stretch, even with that much southern exposure .
    In his next volley, Mr. Corbett posited that a "few witnesses.. misremembered that the shooter had fired from a wide open window" (8/5). First, it was actually four witnesses, not a "few". A "few" might, yes, "misremember". But a chorus of
    four is harder to dismiss. And another witness, Malcolm Couch, testified that it was his "impression that [the window] was all the way open" (v6p157). Only an impression, but it tallies with the more-definite observations of the other four. And to buy Mr.
    Corbett's "misremembered", you have to dismiss the fact that Edwards said that "the window was wide open all the way"--in his same-day affidavit.
    On 8/8, Mr. Corbett finally admitted that "the westernmost window on the sixth floor was wide open". Unfortunately, on 8/10, he forthwith cancelled out his admission with "we have a few vague descriptions of the shooters window as wide open"
    . And yet that westernmost window which Jackson indicated was not "vaguely" wide open. It was wide open. Mr. Corbett giveth and Mr. Corbett taketh away, blessed be the name...."

    And admission, then, and an evasion, from M. Corbett.

    There as no admission and no evasion.
    You either have a very poor memory (and reading skills) or you're clinically insane. It took you weeks to admit that Jackson testified that the sniper's window was wide open, like the window at the far-west end of the 6th floor. He called it "
    halfway" open, but the photo says otherwise, as you finally admitted. Guess your mind has degenerated in the meantime!

    At no time have I ever disputed what Jackson said.
    You even took his "halfway" at face value--until you deigned to look at the photo that he was referring to, a photo of a wide-open window, unlike the "nest"'s halfway-open window. Yet, you kept going back to "6th floor" witnesses, like Brennan, Fischer,
    & Edwards, who also said "wide open". Brennan even compared the "nest" window to the window just below, which was... wide open. And Fischer testified that he couldn't have seen as much of the suspect if the window had not been open so far! There's your "
    6th floor" witnesses! Not.

    And I'm really sorry that Skythrone, Ben, & I have driven you mad...

    dcw

    Why would I get mad? I ignore Yellowpanties and I laugh at the silly things you and the Toilet
    Seat write. Your silly fixation to the non-specific wide open description of the shooter's window
    which blinds you to all the forensic evidence and the eyewitnesses that place the shooter on the
    6th floor can only be described as bizarre.

    And certainly it would have been part of the plan to immediately pick up the expended hulls on the 5th floor.
    Since Fritz was up there early,
    He wasn`t, he went to Parkland.
    I think it happened pretty immediately, upon discovery. For instance, Haygood, who originally said he saw the shells with the boxes, forgot all about shells for the HSCA. He remembered inconsequential things, though.
    Two of them probably were doing that when the "Powell Photo" was taken.
    Not *that* immediately. I think there had to be *some* basis provided for searchers seeing shells in situ, & other, phony sighters were then enlisted, like Haygood. After all, he stole, with Henslee's help, (LL) Hill's 12:37
    transmissions...

    If somebody wanted to know what a gish gallop is, all they would have to do is read one of Don's

    Whatever term is applied to them, his posts are almost impossible to follow. It's like trying to
    make sense of a Jackson Pollock painting. He just throws a bunch of shit on the wall and then
    tries to tell us what it means. I gave up long ago trying to follow his goofy reasoning. I'd get
    migraines from trying. It's amazing how many illogical conclusions a man can pack into one
    post of about a half dozen paragraphs. Whoever said you can't put ten pounds of shit in a five
    pound bag never read one of Don's posts.
    I have to take it back--you're a *lousy* audience. Notice how John Robot generalizes re how my posts are impossible to follow.
    Generally, they are.
    Notice also how he does not give ONE instance of that.

    HUH???
    Are you truly ignorant or just pretending to be ignorant?
    You don't need to pretend.
    He took the words in Bob Jackson's testimony at face value, without bothering to check what Jackson meant by "halfway" (page 159). That made Jackson's testimony, for Mr. Robot, "impossible to follow"! I think he needs Hank's help
    again, poor boy...

    Another word salad.
    Yes, I know you'd like to forget the proof of your ignorance of Commission testimony/photo-evidence. It was an embarrassing day for you. Hank--you're little protegee needs you! Critter has no talent for argument, or reading...

    I have no fucking idea what you are even talking about. As usual, your gish gallop is
    incomprehensible.
    Here's more on your 2020 gaffe: (from alt.conspiracy.jfk 9/2/2020)

    " In [Corbett's] first attack, he asserted that witness Bob Jackson's word "halfway", in his Commission testimony, "shoots down [my] argument" (7/9), ignoring the fact that Jackson indicated to counsel, as an illustration of the word "
    halfway", a window which was actually open as far as it could have been open. I suspect that Jackson is not usually thought of as a witness to a wide-open window because few people have apparently gone beyond that word "halfway" and actually looked at
    the photo which he was looking at.
    Next, Mr. Corbett decided that "wide open" was a "vague" term: "It doesn't mean all the way open" (7/31): It's no more vague than "halfway", which word he embraces and could, yes, mean a window which was open a few inches more or less
    than halfway. No one had their tape measures out on 11/22/63, except perhaps the DPD Crime Lab personnel.
    Then Mr. Corbett admittedly followed a certain logic (8/2) when he wrote that a shooter would certainly only open the "window partially... in order to maintain partial concealment", and a mere onlooker "would have opened it all the way",
    for a better view. He fails to entertain the possibility that the assassination planners might have been sophisticated enough to reverse that logic, intentionally, the better to throw off students of Logic 1A. That is, the partially-opened window seems
    to have been simply a ruse--and a pretty ingenious one at that--and--illogical or not--the shooter seems to have fired from a wide-open window, despite Mr. Corbett's Rules for Snipers.
    The giveaway is the fact that the suspect--contrary to what Mr. Corbett suggests--hardly maintained "partial concealment". He used that wide-open window as a stage on which he could make himself seen, by walking to and from the window "to
    my knowledge a couple of times" (Howard Brennan/v3p143), and by sitting "sideways on the window sill" (p144), and by having the window open so far that witness Ronald Fischer "wouldn't have been able to see past the top of his head had it not been" (
    v6p199). And a third witness, Robert Edwards, "noticed that he seemed to be laying down there or in a funny position anyway" (11/22/63 affidavit). Whatever was intended by this display, the suspect succeeded in drawing attention both to that area of the
    depository and to himself, perhaps--in the latter case--to provide a basis for the forthcoming suspect suspect-description from DPD Insp. Sawyer, which could have come from nowhere else in the plaza, though the nutty precision of "five feet ten, one
    sixty five" (Sawyer Exh A) is still a stretch, even with that much southern exposure .
    In his next volley, Mr. Corbett posited that a "few witnesses.. misremembered that the shooter had fired from a wide open window" (8/5). First, it was actually four witnesses, not a "few". A "few" might, yes, "misremember". But a chorus
    of four is harder to dismiss. And another witness, Malcolm Couch, testified that it was his "impression that [the window] was all the way open" (v6p157). Only an impression, but it tallies with the more-definite observations of the other four. And to buy
    Mr. Corbett's "misremembered", you have to dismiss the fact that Edwards said that "the window was wide open all the way"--in his same-day affidavit.
    On 8/8, Mr. Corbett finally admitted that "the westernmost window on the sixth floor was wide open". Unfortunately, on 8/10, he forthwith cancelled out his admission with "we have a few vague descriptions of the shooters window as wide
    open". And yet that westernmost window which Jackson indicated was not "vaguely" wide open. It was wide open. Mr. Corbett giveth and Mr. Corbett taketh away, blessed be the name...."

    And admission, then, and an evasion, from M. Corbett.

    There as no admission and no evasion.
    You either have a very poor memory (and reading skills) or you're clinically insane. It took you weeks to admit that Jackson testified that the sniper's window was wide open, like the window at the far-west end of the 6th floor. He called it "
    halfway" open, but the photo says otherwise, as you finally admitted. Guess your mind has degenerated in the meantime!

    At no time have I ever disputed what Jackson said.
    You even took his "halfway" at face value--until you deigned to look at the photo that he was referring to, a photo of a wide-open window, unlike the "nest"'s halfway-open window. Yet, you kept going back to "6th floor" witnesses, like Brennan,
    Fischer, & Edwards, who also said "wide open". Brennan even compared the "nest" window to the window just below, which was... wide open. And Fischer testified that he couldn't have seen as much of the suspect if the window had not been open so far! There'
    s your "6th floor" witnesses! Not.

    And I'm really sorry that Skythrone, Ben, & I have driven you mad...

    dcw
    Why would I get mad?

    No. You can't grasp the simplest things. Not "get mad", GO MAD. As in, You went certifiably mad, as it appears you have. Poor Johnny...

    I ignore Yellowpanties and I laugh at the silly things you and the Toilet
    Seat write. Your silly fixation to the non-specific wide open description

    You've tried that one before. And I've replied... Brennan & Jackson were VERY specific--they said that the window from which the shooter shot was open wide, just like [as per Brennan] the window just below the supposed sniper's window, or [as per
    Jackson] open like the farthest-west window on the 6th floor. In both cases, a wide-open window. Don't go simple on me yet again...


    of the shooter's window
    which blinds you to all the forensic evidence

    Forensic evidence has nothing to do with WHERE shells or guns were found. Please!

    and the eyewitnesses that place the shooter on the
    6th floor can only be described as bizarre.

    But eyewitnesses such as Brennan and Jackson cancelled out any floor indication when they observed that the window was wide open, just like [see above]. And both Sgt. Harkness and his witness, Amos Euins, said "5th floor". Now, go into your dance re
    witnesses who miscounted. Euins AND Harkness? I hardly think so.

    No, he didn't. Check the radio log transcriptions:

    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) What hospital did the President go to? Dispatcher Parkland Hospital
    Dispatcher 303, where are you?
    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) Parkland Hospital
    300 (Capt. John Will Fritz) 300, en route
    Dispatcher 300, are you en route to Elm and Hourson to that store?
    300 En route to the hospital.

    Then check Fritz's testimony & the Sims/Boyd report: Fritz testified, falsely (as you see, above), that he was with Sims & Boyd in the same car to Parkland. He was in a different car, supposedly en route to Parkland, while Sims & Boyd were already
    there. Sims & Boyd went to Parkland, Fritz did not.

    Use your head, Dave. If Sims and Boyd were already at Parkland Hospital,
    then they wouldn't have needed to ask what hospital the President had
    been taken to. The motorcade's presence wasn't exactly a stealth affair
    after all!

    Michael O'Dell generated a reconstruction of the Channel 2 traffic between 12:15 and 12:46. This was necessary because the existing Channel 2
    recordings were marred by repeated skips and repeats, a legacy of the
    Gray Audiograph recording system originally used to capture the radio
    traffic for posterity. O'Dell took the FBI phonograph copy of the Ch 2 traffic, which is free of skips and repeats at the cost of being variable speed, and generated the timing for the various transmissions from it.
    He then made a reconstruction of the Ch 2 traffic using the best available copies of each transmission placing them time-wise using the timing he'd
    come up with. In his reconstruction, this is what the 12:40 conversation between the dispatcher and 303 looks like in black and white:

    303: 303
    Disp: 10-4. 12:40 [This is in response to 295's previous transmission regarding the president's wounds]
    Disp: 303
    303: What hospital did the president go to?
    Disp: Parkland Hospital
    303: 10-4
    Disp: Where are you?
    303: 300's en route
    Disp: 10-4
    Disp: Is 300 route en route to Elm and Field at that, uh, correction, Elm and Houston at that store?
    303: En route to the hospital
    Disp: 10-4

    This conversation makes more sense than the FBI version.

    The FBI transcriptionist may have been confused by a skip/repeat
    on the media he/she was using. Also, the voice saying "300's en
    route" is the same one as the "303" transmissions. The
    transcriptionist assumed from the message's content that it was
    sent by Fritz himself, but that is not the case.

    It's wise not to take any of the transcripts in the WCH as perfect verbatim.

    Mooney's holler--the Rosetta stone for conspiracy

    (I had a complaint here recently about over-lengthy posts, so I'll have to make this short and sweet. I aim to please.)

    Both sides want to see proof that there was a conspiracy in Dealey Plaza, in 1963. Here it is, direct and brutal, though this post cannot stay s&s *and* identify the depository shooter.

    I have long been curious about one photo in "Pictures of the Pain", page 519, taken at "approximately 1:00", from half a block away, and across Houston. Too far away, for identification purposes, both from the figure in
    the window in question and the figures in the street just below. Recently, however, I realized that the figure in the window need not be identified photographically. The figure is *there*--that's all that's needed. That and the time he was there. He can
    be identified by a sort of triangulation, of time, location, and witness observation. The person in question is in the SE corner window, above Elm, on the fifth floor.

    Time: a) "I saw the expended shells... I leaned out the window... I hollered... It was approaching 1 o'clock"--Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney". (v3p284-5)
    b) At 12:58 or 12:59, DPD Sgt. G.V. Harkness radioed for the Crime Lab people to come to the depository. At 12:59, the dispatcher radioed that they were enroute. (CE 1974 p41)
    c) Crime Lab's Lt. Day testified, "Shortly before 1 o'clock, I received a call from the police dispatcher to go to 411 Elm St. I went out of my office almost straight up 1 o'clock." (v4p249)

    Location: a) "On the 3rd floor of this book company down here, we found empty rifle hulls, and it looked like the man had been here for some time"--Insp. J.H. Sawyer. (DPD radio, CE 1974 p176)
    b) "Police found the remains of fried chicken and paper on the fifth floor. Apparently, the person had been there quite a while."--Insp. Sawyer, Stockton Record (AP), 11/22/63 p8. So, for Sawyer, "3rd floor" down
    translated as "5th floor" up.
    c) Sheriff's deputies, upstairs, were torn between 5th floor (Faulkner, Wiseman) and 6th floor (Mooney, McCurley, Weatherford). The 6th-floor advocates tried to buttress their case by saying that they saw Sawyer's 5th-
    floor chicken remains in the 6th-floor "nest". But Crime Lab Det. Studebaker went along with Sawyer: He said that the remains "ought to be" in his pictures, taken on the 6th floor, but they were not. (v7p147) The 6th-floor advocates--caught between
    Sawyer and Studebaker. The telltale chicken, then, rather than buttressing their case, actually sabotages it.

    Finally, a deputy downstairs and outside completes my triangulation. Chief Criminal Deputy Allen Sweatt reported, "While I was still at the front of the building, Dep. Sheriff Luke Mooney stuck his head out of the 5th
    floor window and stated he had found some spent cartridge cases. (Decker Exhibit 5323 p531, 11/23/63)

    At about 12:58, then, Mooney stuck his head out of the SE corner window, on the 5th floor, and reported finding the spent shells. And there's the picture of him doing just that, on page 519 of Trask. And there's your 5th-
    floor-HQ conspiracy.

    You've been a great audience, thank you!

    dcw
    Even though there was a black man firing a rifle on the 5th floor, I think Mooney discovered the 6th floor "sniper's nest." There's no evidence of piled up boxes in the photography on the 5th floor.
    There's evidence of something besides a human figure in the 5th-floor "nest" in the Weaver Polaroid. There are white somethings all along the bottom of the pic.

    Michael O'Dell generated a reconstruction of the Channel 2 traffic between 12:15 and 12:46. This was necessary because the existing Channel 2 recordings were marred by repeated skips and repeats, a legacy of the
    Gray Audiograph recording system originally used to capture the radio traffic for posterity. O'Dell took the FBI phonograph copy of the Ch 2 traffic, which is free of skips and repeats at the cost of being variable speed, and generated the timing for the various transmissions from it.
    He then made a reconstruction of the Ch 2 traffic using the best available copies of each transmission placing them time-wise using the timing he'd come up with. In his reconstruction, this is what the 12:40 conversation between the dispatcher and 303 looks like in black and white:

    303: 303
    Disp: 10-4. 12:40 [This is in response to 295's previous transmission regarding the president's wounds]
    Disp: 303
    303: What hospital did the president go to?
    Disp: Parkland Hospital
    303: 10-4
    Disp: Where are you?
    303: 300's en route
    Disp: 10-4
    Disp: Is 300 route en route to Elm and Field at that, uh, correction, Elm and Houston at that store?
    303: En route to the hospital
    Disp: 10-4

    This conversation makes more sense than the FBI version.

    The FBI transcriptionist may have been confused by a skip/repeat
    on the media he/she was using. Also, the voice saying "300's en
    route" is the same one as the "303" transmissions. The
    transcriptionist assumed from the message's content that it was
    sent by Fritz himself, but that is not the case.

    It's wise not to take any of the transcripts in the WCH as perfect verbatim.

    That's right! Use your head, "Dave(?)." Why listen to the original recording when you can read Dog Boy's "black and white" version of Michael O'Dell's "reconstruction.!" What could go wrong?

    Fritz: "I told the two officers with me, Mr. Sims & Boyd that we would run to our police car... We went to Parkland Hospital as we had been instructed, and as we drove up in front of the hospital, we, I suppose, intercepted the chief, Chief Curry,
    between the curb & the hospital..." (v4p204)

    Curry: "[Lumpkin] asked me at the hospital if I didn't want him to go back to the depository, and I told him yes..." (v4p162) Curry does not mention Fritz at the hospital.
    Curry again (from his book, "JFK Assassination File", p51): "Immediately after my arrival at the hospital, I had sent Deputy Chief Lumpkin with some Homicide detectives back to the Elm & Houston location..." Again, Curry does not mention seeing Fritz
    at Parkland. In fact, he confirms that the detectives were on their own, not with their Captain, and that he sent them with Lumpkin, not Fritz, to the depository. Fritz "supposed" wrong about "intercepting" Curry...

    Fritz and Parkland.

    No wonder your conclusions are so FUBAR.

    Curry's silence on whether he saw Fritz at Parkland is not an indication whether Fritz spoke to
    Curry or not. I'd like to explain to you why that is but I'm not sure I could dumb it down enough.

    He then made a reconstruction of the Ch 2 traffic using the best available copies of each transmission placing them time-wise using the timing he'd come up with. In his reconstruction, this is what the 12:40 conversation between the dispatcher and 303 looks like in black and white:

    303: 303
    Disp: 10-4. 12:40 [This is in response to 295's previous transmission regarding the president's wounds]
    Disp: 303
    303: What hospital did the president go to?
    Disp: Parkland Hospital
    303: 10-4
    Disp: Where are you?
    303: 300's en route
    Disp: 10-4
    Disp: Is 300 route en route to Elm and Field at that, uh, correction, Elm and Houston at that store?
    303: En route to the hospital
    Disp: 10-4

    This conversation makes more sense than the FBI version.

    The FBI transcriptionist may have been confused by a skip/repeat
    on the media he/she was using. Also, the voice saying "300's en
    route" is the same one as the "303" transmissions. The
    transcriptionist assumed from the message's content that it was
    sent by Fritz himself, but that is not the case.

    It's wise not to take any of the transcripts in the WCH as perfect verbatim.

    Good. Let's skip the intricacies of the radio logs/transcriptions and go right to the sources--Fritz and Curry, in their testimony.

    Fritz: "I told the two officers with me, Mr. Sims & Boyd that we would run to our police car... We went to Parkland Hospital as we had been instructed, and as we drove up in front of the hospital, we, I suppose, intercepted the chief, Chief Curry,
    between the curb & the hospital..." (v4p204)

    Curry: "[Lumpkin] asked me at the hospital if I didn't want him to go back to the depository, and I told him yes..." (v4p162) Curry does not mention Fritz at the hospital.
    Curry again (from his book, "JFK Assassination File", p51): "Immediately after my arrival at the hospital, I had sent Deputy Chief Lumpkin with some Homicide detectives back to the Elm & Houston location..." Again, Curry does not mention seeing Fritz
    at Parkland. In fact, he confirms that the detectives were on their own, not with their Captain, and that he sent them with Lumpkin, not Fritz, to the depository. Fritz "supposed" wrong about "intercepting" Curry...

    I don't see where Curry mentions seeing Decker at Parkland, either. Not in his testimony or his book. Obviously, Decker could not have been there, by your accounting :-D

    Curry didn't confirm Fritz at the hospital, but then Fritz said only "I suppose" we met Curry. So Fritz doesn't quite confirm Curry.

    This conversation makes more sense than the FBI version.

    Interesting, too, in that it takes Fritz right out of it. Some LN here opined that 300 himself saying "300's en route" was Fritz correcting "Parkland Hospital". Well, gee, I guess LNs can be wrong, too! (But not Corbett! Oh, no!)

    "Skips & repeats" Then I guess that the Sawyer Exhibit A (p392) was not transcribed from the same source as the later DPD & FBI transcriptions. I say that because it does not pick up "Parkland Hospital" after the "Where are you?" If so, why would the
    later transcribers use a defective recording rather than the one that the Sawyer used?

    The FBI transcriptionist may have been confused by a skip/repeat
    on the media he/she was using. Also, the voice saying "300's en
    route" is the same one as the "303" transmissions.

    The DPD (that is, CE 705) and the FBI both thought that it was "300" himself saying "300 en route" and "en route to the hospital". So it's DPD (Henslee, Sawyer Exhibits) vs DPD (Bowles, CE 705). I am reminded of the LN who thought that the voice on the
    police radio at 12:37 was the voice of Patrolman Haygood, not Patrolman Hill. But the latter ID'd himself twice at the beginning of the transmission ("22... 22").

    The
    transcriptionist assumed from the message's content that it was
    sent by Fritz himself, but that is not the case.

    It's wise not to take any of the transcripts in the WCH as perfect verbatim.

O'Dell took the FBI phonograph copy of the Ch 2 traffic, which is free of skips and repeats at the cost of being variable
    speed, and generated the timing for the various transmissions from it. He then made a reconstruction of the Ch 2 traffic using the best available
    copies of each transmission placing them time-wise using the timing he'd come up with. In his reconstruction, this is what the 12:40 conversation between the dispatcher and 303 looks like in black and white:

    303: 303
    Disp: 10-4. 12:40 [This is in response to 295's previous transmission regarding the president's wounds]
    Disp: 303
    303: What hospital did the president go to?
    Disp: Parkland Hospital
    303: 10-4
    Disp: Where are you?
    303: 300's en route
    Disp: 10-4
    Disp: Is 300 route en route to Elm and Field at that, uh, correction, Elm and Houston at that store?
    303: En route to the hospital
    Disp: 10-4

    This conversation makes more sense than the FBI version.

    The FBI transcriptionist may have been confused by a skip/repeat
    on the media he/she was using. Also, the voice saying "300's en
    route" is the same one as the "303" transmissions. The
    transcriptionist assumed from the message's content that it was
    sent by Fritz himself, but that is not the case.

    It's wise not to take any of the transcripts in the WCH as perfect verbatim.

    Good. Let's skip the intricacies of the radio logs/transcriptions and go right to the sources--Fritz and Curry, in their testimony.

    Fritz: "I told the two officers with me, Mr. Sims & Boyd that we would run to our police car... We went to Parkland Hospital as we had been instructed, and as we drove up in front of the hospital, we, I suppose, intercepted the chief, Chief Curry,
    between the curb & the hospital..." (v4p204)

    Curry: "[Lumpkin] asked me at the hospital if I didn't want him to go back to the depository, and I told him yes..." (v4p162) Curry does not mention Fritz at the hospital.
    Curry again (from his book, "JFK Assassination File", p51): "Immediately after my arrival at the hospital, I had sent Deputy Chief Lumpkin with some Homicide detectives back to the Elm & Houston location..." Again, Curry does not mention seeing Fritz
    at Parkland. In fact, he confirms that the detectives were on their own, not with their Captain, and that he sent them with Lumpkin, not Fritz, to the depository. Fritz "supposed" wrong about "intercepting" Curry...
    I don't see where Curry mentions seeing Decker at Parkland, either. Not in his testimony or his book. Obviously, Decker could not have been there, by your accounting :-D

    Decker did not go to Parkland Hospital. That was a lie. According to Deputy Mooney's 11-23-63 report, Sheriff Decker "came up" to him in the railraod yard and told him to go to the TSBD. Mooney got out of Curry's car on the Stemmons on-ramp where Officer
    E.V. Brown said the cars stopped for at least 30 seconds. Decker walked back to Dealey Plaza and told Mooney to go to the TSBD. The photography shows Decker walking through the railroad yards, even though the liars say that is Buddy Walthers who,
    coincidentally, dressed exactly like Decker. Decker did not go to Parkland Hospital, and neither did Fritz.

    Use your head, Dave. If Sims and Boyd were already at Parkland Hospital, then they wouldn't have needed to ask what hospital the President had been taken to. The motorcade's presence wasn't exactly a stealth affair after all!

    Curry didn't confirm Fritz at the hospital, but then Fritz said only "I suppose" we met Curry. So Fritz doesn't quite confirm Curry.

    Here's an idea, Don. Why don't you vet your stories before you post them. That way, you won't

    300 En route to the hospital.

    were already there. Sims & Boyd went to Parkland, Fritz did not.

    Use your head, Dave. If Sims and Boyd were already at Parkland Hospital,
    then they wouldn't have needed to ask what hospital the President had
    been taken to. The motorcade's presence wasn't exactly a stealth affair
    after all!

    Michael O'Dell generated a reconstruction of the Channel 2 traffic between
    12:15 and 12:46. This was necessary because the existing Channel 2
    recordings were marred by repeated skips and repeats, a legacy of the
    Gray Audiograph recording system originally used to capture the radio
    traffic for posterity. O'Dell took the FBI phonograph copy of the Ch 2
    traffic, which is free of skips and repeats at the cost of being variable
    speed, and generated the timing for the various transmissions from it.
    He then made a reconstruction of the Ch 2 traffic using the best available
    copies of each transmission placing them time-wise using the timing he'd
    come up with. In his reconstruction, this is what the 12:40 conversation
    between the dispatcher and 303 looks like in black and white:

    303: 303
    Disp: 10-4. 12:40 [This is in response to 295's previous transmission regarding the president's wounds]
    Disp: 303
    303: What hospital did the president go to?
    Disp: Parkland Hospital
    303: 10-4
    Disp: Where are you?
    303: 300's en route
    Disp: 10-4
    Disp: Is 300 route en route to Elm and Field at that, uh, correction, Elm and Houston at that store?
    303: En route to the hospital
    Disp: 10-4

    This conversation makes more sense than the FBI version.

    The FBI transcriptionist may have been confused by a skip/repeat
    on the media he/she was using. Also, the voice saying "300's en
    route" is the same one as the "303" transmissions. The transcriptionist assumed from the message's content that it was
    sent by Fritz himself, but that is not the case.

    It's wise not to take any of the transcripts in the WCH as perfect verbatim.

    Good. Let's skip the intricacies of the radio logs/transcriptions and go right to the sources--Fritz and Curry, in their testimony.

    Fritz: "I told the two officers with me, Mr. Sims & Boyd that we would run to our police car... We went to Parkland Hospital as we had been instructed, and as we drove up in front of the hospital, we, I suppose, intercepted the chief, Chief
    Curry, between the curb & the hospital..." (v4p204)

    Curry: "[Lumpkin] asked me at the hospital if I didn't want him to go back to the depository, and I told him yes..." (v4p162) Curry does not mention Fritz at the hospital.
    Curry again (from his book, "JFK Assassination File", p51): "Immediately after my arrival at the hospital, I had sent Deputy Chief Lumpkin with some Homicide detectives back to the Elm & Houston location..." Again, Curry does not mention
    seeing Fritz at Parkland. In fact, he confirms that the detectives were on their own, not with their Captain, and that he sent them with Lumpkin, not Fritz, to the depository. Fritz "supposed" wrong about "intercepting" Curry...
    I don't see where Curry mentions seeing Decker at Parkland, either. Not in his testimony or his book. Obviously, Decker could not have been there, by your accounting :-D
    Did some checking on my own. The Homicide detectives who went with Lumpkin from the hospital to the depository were Senkel & Turner, according to Turner's report (CE 2003 p249). So Curry was right, and I was wrong. I jumped to a conclusion.
    Still, Curry didn't confirm Fritz at the hospital, but then Fritz said only "I suppose" we met Curry. So Fritz doesn't quite confirm Curry.

    Your obsession with "wide open window" is hilarious. For this one, non-specific description, you
    are willing to disregard all the physical evidence that was found on the 6th floor, all the witnesses
    who placed the shooter on the 6th floor, the three black employees who testified they were on
    the 5th floor, and the photo of them on the 5th floor. You think "wide open window" outweighs
    all of that.

    can't comprehend they could have been wrong about how wide open the window was. Damn,
    you're stupid. All the other evidence screams that they got the floor correct so if they were wrong
    about anything, it was how wide open the window was. All the physical evidence was found on
    the 6th floor. The three black employees all testified they were on the 5th floor. There is a photo
    showing they were on the 5th floor. In order to believe your wide open window nonsense, we
    have to believe those three employees perjured themselves, the photo was a forgery, and the
    investigators moved all the physical evidence from the 5th floor to the 6th for no apparent
    reason. Only a moron would believe all that happened.

    It's wise not to take any of the transcripts in the WCH as perfect verbatim.

    Good. Let's skip the intricacies of the radio logs/transcriptions and go right to the sources--Fritz and Curry, in their testimony.

    Fritz: "I told the two officers with me, Mr. Sims & Boyd that we would run to our police car... We went to Parkland Hospital as we had been instructed, and as we drove up in front of the hospital, we, I suppose, intercepted the chief, Chief
    Curry, between the curb & the hospital..." (v4p204)

    Curry: "[Lumpkin] asked me at the hospital if I didn't want him to go back to the depository, and I told him yes..." (v4p162) Curry does not mention Fritz at the hospital.
    Curry again (from his book, "JFK Assassination File", p51): "Immediately after my arrival at the hospital, I had sent Deputy Chief Lumpkin with some Homicide detectives back to the Elm & Houston location..." Again, Curry does not mention
    seeing Fritz at Parkland. In fact, he confirms that the detectives were on their own, not with their Captain, and that he sent them with Lumpkin, not Fritz, to the depository. Fritz "supposed" wrong about "intercepting" Curry...
    I don't see where Curry mentions seeing Decker at Parkland, either. Not in his testimony or his book. Obviously, Decker could not have been there, by your accounting :-D
    Did some checking on my own. The Homicide detectives who went with Lumpkin from the hospital to the depository were Senkel & Turner, according to Turner's report (CE 2003 p249). So Curry was right, and I was wrong. I jumped to a conclusion.
    Still, Curry didn't confirm Fritz at the hospital, but then Fritz said only "I suppose" we met Curry. So Fritz doesn't quite confirm Curry.

    Here's an idea, Don. Why don't you vet your stories before you post them. That way, you won't
    have to walk them back.
    From the guy who, like Trump, can never admit that he was wrong, never walks anything back. Uncool.
    On the rare occasions I have been wrong

    Ahem!

    , I have owned up to it.

    Although, in the case of Jackson & the wide-open window, you have later denied that you originally went along with Specter's "halfway", before taking a look at what he & Jackson were talking about.
    Your obsession with "wide open window" is hilarious. For this one, non-specific
    As I have to keep pointing out to you, it was very specific for Jackson & Brennan, who compared it to two other wide-open windows. Neither could use the "nest" window itself because it was only half open in the photos they were shown. J&B must have
    thought that it WAS wide-open at 12:30pm on 11/22/63.

    So you think...

    Yes, unlike you.

    So you think these witnesses could be wrong about which floor they saw they shooter but you
    can't comprehend they could have been wrong about how wide open the window was. Damn,
    you're stupid.

    Johnny the Robot speaking...

    All the other evidence screams that they got the floor correct so if they were wrong
    about anything, it was how wide open the window was. All the physical evidence was found on
    the 6th floor. The three black employees all testified they were on the 5th floor.

    Only Williams was. Jarman couldn't bring himself to put himself on the 5th floor until 2 days after the assassination. Norman didn't say anything until *four* days after the assassination. Very reluctant "witnesses".

    There is a photo
    showing they were on the 5th floor. In order to believe your wide open window nonsense, we
    have to believe those three employees perjured themselves

    No--just two.

    , the photo was a forgery, and the
    investigators moved all the physical evidence from the 5th floor to the 6th

    The rifle never saw the 6th floor--it was processed on the 5th.

    for no apparent
    reason. Only a moron would believe all that happened.

    Only a robot would say that.

    Believers make it all too easy. They refuse to cite evidence ...
    well, no reason for me to say it, Gil said it best:

    The LN Trolls in this newsgroup post no evidence.
    No citations
    No documents
    No testimony
    No exhibits
    No witness videos

    They do no research of their own, preferring to take the lazy way out
    and fall back on the conclusions of the Warren Commission Report.

    You can gain NO KNOWLEDGE from their posts.

    What they DO post are comments, speculation, opinion and ( when that
    doesn't work ) insults. They see themselves as guardians of the truth
    against those crazy "conspiracy theorists".

    They argue that because a conspiracy can't be proven, then none
    existed.

    Does that mean that if a murder is unsolved, the victim was never
    murdered ? You'll have to ask them, that's their thought process.

    Then check Fritz's testimony & the Sims/Boyd report: Fritz testified, falsely (as you see, above), that he was with Sims & Boyd in the same car to Parkland. He was in a different car, supposedly en route to Parkland, while Sims & Boyd were
    already there. Sims & Boyd went to Parkland, Fritz did not.

    Use your head, Dave. If Sims and Boyd were already at Parkland Hospital,
    then they wouldn't have needed to ask what hospital the President had
    been taken to. The motorcade's presence wasn't exactly a stealth affair
    after all!

    Michael O'Dell generated a reconstruction of the Channel 2 traffic between
    12:15 and 12:46. This was necessary because the existing Channel 2
    recordings were marred by repeated skips and repeats, a legacy of the
    Gray Audiograph recording system originally used to capture the radio
    traffic for posterity. O'Dell took the FBI phonograph copy of the Ch 2
    traffic, which is free of skips and repeats at the cost of being variable
    speed, and generated the timing for the various transmissions from it.
    He then made a reconstruction of the Ch 2 traffic using the best available
    copies of each transmission placing them time-wise using the timing he'd
    come up with. In his reconstruction, this is what the 12:40 conversation
    between the dispatcher and 303 looks like in black and white: >>>>>>>>>>>>>
    303: 303
    Disp: 10-4. 12:40 [This is in response to 295's previous transmission regarding the president's wounds]
    Disp: 303
    303: What hospital did the president go to?
    Disp: Parkland Hospital
    303: 10-4
    Disp: Where are you?
    303: 300's en route
    Disp: 10-4
    Disp: Is 300 route en route to Elm and Field at that, uh, correction, Elm and Houston at that store?
    303: En route to the hospital
    Disp: 10-4

    This conversation makes more sense than the FBI version. >>>>>>>>>>>>>

    It's wise not to take any of the transcripts in the WCH as perfect verbatim.

    Good. Let's skip the intricacies of the radio logs/transcriptions and go right to the sources--Fritz and Curry, in their testimony.

    Fritz: "I told the two officers with me, Mr. Sims & Boyd that we would run to our police car... We went to Parkland Hospital as we had been instructed, and as we drove up in front of the hospital, we, I suppose, intercepted the chief, Chief
    Curry, between the curb & the hospital..." (v4p204)

    Curry: "[Lumpkin] asked me at the hospital if I didn't want him to go back to the depository, and I told him yes..." (v4p162) Curry does not mention Fritz at the hospital.
    Curry again (from his book, "JFK Assassination File", p51): "Immediately after my arrival at the hospital, I had sent Deputy Chief Lumpkin with some Homicide detectives back to the Elm & Houston location..." Again, Curry does not mention
    seeing Fritz at Parkland. In fact, he confirms that the detectives were on their own, not with their Captain, and that he sent them with Lumpkin, not Fritz, to the depository. Fritz "supposed" wrong about "intercepting" Curry...
    I don't see where Curry mentions seeing Decker at Parkland, either. Not in his testimony or his book. Obviously, Decker could not have been there, by your accounting :-D
    Did some checking on my own. The Homicide detectives who went with Lumpkin from the hospital to the depository were Senkel & Turner, according to Turner's report (CE 2003 p249). So Curry was right, and I was wrong. I jumped to a conclusion.
    Still, Curry didn't confirm Fritz at the hospital, but then Fritz said only "I suppose" we met Curry. So Fritz doesn't quite confirm Curry.

    Here's an idea, Don. Why don't you vet your stories before you post them. That way, you won't
    have to walk them back.
    From the guy who, like Trump, can never admit that he was wrong, never walks anything back. Uncool.
    On the rare occasions I have been wrong

    Ahem!

    , I have owned up to it.

    Although, in the case of Jackson & the wide-open window, you have later denied that you originally went along with Specter's "halfway", before taking a look at what he & Jackson were talking about.
    Your obsession with "wide open window" is hilarious. For this one, non-specific
    As I have to keep pointing out to you, it was very specific for Jackson & Brennan, who compared it to two other wide-open windows. Neither could use the "nest" window itself because it was only half open in the photos they were shown. J&B must have
    thought that it WAS wide-open at 12:30pm on 11/22/63.

    So you think these witnesses could be wrong about which floor they saw they shooter but you
    can't comprehend they could have been wrong about how wide open the window was. Damn,
    you're stupid.
    Johnny the Robot speaking...
    All the other evidence screams that they got the floor correct so if they were wrong
    about anything, it was how wide open the window was. All the physical evidence was found on
    the 6th floor. The three black employees all testified they were on the 5th floor.
    Only Williams was. Jarman couldn't bring himself to put himself on the 5th floor until 2 days after the assassination. Norman didn't say anything until *four* days after the assassination. Very reluctant "witnesses".


    Logical fallacy deleted.


    There is a photo
    showing they were on the 5th floor. In order to believe your wide open window nonsense, we
    have to believe those three employees perjured themselves
    No--just two.
    , the photo was a forgery, and the
    investigators moved all the physical evidence from the 5th floor to the 6th >> The rifle never saw the 6th floor--it was processed on the 5th.
    for no apparent
    reason. Only a moron would believe all that happened.
    Only a robot would say that.



    Logical fallacies and uncited empty claims deleted.

    the 6th floor. The three black employees all testified they were on the 5th floor.
    Only Williams was. Jarman couldn't bring himself to put himself on the 5th floor until 2 days after the assassination. Norman didn't say anything until *four* days after the assassination. Very reluctant "witnesses".

    You assume reluctance. You fail to consider that they weren't asked by the investigators until days later. Jarman's next day affidavit was about where Oswald was. Norman's affidavit was
    taken on December 4. It too spoke of Oswald's whereabouts. Norman did say he was on the
    fifth floor when the shots were fired. Now if you have an earlier record of what either man said,
    by all means present it.

    There is a photo
    showing they were on the 5th floor. In order to believe your wide open window nonsense, we
    have to believe those three employees perjured themselves
    No--just two.
    , the photo was a forgery, and the
    investigators moved all the physical evidence from the 5th floor to the 6th
    The rifle never saw the 6th floor--it was processed on the 5th.
    for no apparent
    reason. Only a moron would believe all that happened.
    Only a robot would say that.

    A robot could do a better job of figuring this out than you.

    We have the eyewitnesses who placed the shooter on the sixth floor. We also have witnesses
    who said the shooter's window was wide open. For the sake of argument, let's say the window
    on the sixth floor was not wide open. In absence of any other evidence, an objective look at
    this conflict would conclude that either of these accounts could be right but both cannot be
    right. That means that any witness who said the shooter fired from a wide open window on
    the 6th floor was either wrong about the location or wrong about how wide open the window
    was. But there isn't an absence of any other evidence. There is a wealth of evidence that tells
    us which element these witnesses got right and which element they got wrong.

    In support of the witnesses getting the location (6th floor) right we have the following.
    1. The rifle was found on the 6th floor.
    2. The spent shells were found on the 6th floor.
    3. The rifle bag was found on the 6th floor.
    4. Three employees testified they were occupying the fifth floor when the shots were fired from
    above them.
    5. There is a picture of these same employees looking out the window taken seconds after the
    last shot was fired.

    In support of the witnesses getting the location wrong and he window poition correct we have
    the following:

    1. Absolutely nothing.

    But of course, like CTs always do, you choose not to look at the rest of the evidence to determine
    what the witnesses got wrong and what they got right. You choose to ignore everything else
    and arbitrarily decide which element the witnesses got right. As for all that other evidence that
    doesn't fit your narrative, you do something else CTs always do. You invent cockamamie excuses
    for dismissing all of that other evidence that doesn't fit your silly scenario. On top of everything
    else, to this day you have never given a plausible reason for the investigators to go to all the
    trouble of creating the illusion the lone gunman was on the 6th floor. Why not just conclude that
    the shooter fired from the 5th floor if that is where he actually fired from. What was there to
    gain by fabricating evidence that he fired from the 6th floor.

    You can't give a sensible answer to any of these questions. You just discovered some time ago
    that some of the witnesses described the shooter's window was wide open and you decided that
    must be correct and anything that doesn't fit that conclusion must be disregarded and it doesn't
    matter how silly your excuses for dismissing everything else are.

    It's wise not to take any of the transcripts in the WCH as perfect verbatim.

    Good. Let's skip the intricacies of the radio logs/transcriptions and go right to the sources--Fritz and Curry, in their testimony.

    Fritz: "I told the two officers with me, Mr. Sims & Boyd that we would run to our police car... We went to Parkland Hospital as we had been instructed, and as we drove up in front of the hospital, we, I suppose, intercepted the chief, Chief
    Curry, between the curb & the hospital..." (v4p204)

    Curry: "[Lumpkin] asked me at the hospital if I didn't want him to go back to the depository, and I told him yes..." (v4p162) Curry does not mention Fritz at the hospital.
    Curry again (from his book, "JFK Assassination File", p51): "Immediately after my arrival at the hospital, I had sent Deputy Chief Lumpkin with some Homicide detectives back to the Elm & Houston location..." Again, Curry does not mention
    seeing Fritz at Parkland. In fact, he confirms that the detectives were on their own, not with their Captain, and that he sent them with Lumpkin, not Fritz, to the depository. Fritz "supposed" wrong about "intercepting" Curry...
    I don't see where Curry mentions seeing Decker at Parkland, either. Not in his testimony or his book. Obviously, Decker could not have been there, by your accounting :-D
    Did some checking on my own. The Homicide detectives who went with Lumpkin from the hospital to the depository were Senkel & Turner, according to Turner's report (CE 2003 p249). So Curry was right, and I was wrong. I jumped to a conclusion.
    Still, Curry didn't confirm Fritz at the hospital, but then Fritz said only "I suppose" we met Curry. So Fritz doesn't quite confirm Curry.

    Here's an idea, Don. Why don't you vet your stories before you post them. That way, you won't
    have to walk them back.
    From the guy who, like Trump, can never admit that he was wrong, never walks anything back. Uncool.
    On the rare occasions I have been wrong

    Ahem!

    , I have owned up to it.

    Although, in the case of Jackson & the wide-open window, you have later denied that you originally went along with Specter's "halfway", before taking a look at what he & Jackson were talking about.
    Your obsession with "wide open window" is hilarious. For this one, non-specific
    As I have to keep pointing out to you, it was very specific for Jackson & Brennan, who compared it to two other wide-open windows. Neither could use the "nest" window itself because it was only half open in the photos they were shown. J&B must have
    thought that it WAS wide-open at 12:30pm on 11/22/63.

    So you think...

    Yes, unlike you.

    You cut him off at just the right place...

    Holmes ...

    Got it right yet again...

    Although, in the case of Jackson & the wide-open window, you have later denied that you originally went along with Specter's "halfway", before taking a look at what he & Jackson were talking about.
    Your obsession with "wide open window" is hilarious. For this one, non-specific
    As I have to keep pointing out to you, it was very specific for Jackson & Brennan, who compared it to two other wide-open windows. Neither could use the "nest" window itself because it was only half open in the photos they were shown. J&B must
    have thought that it WAS wide-open at 12:30pm on 11/22/63.

    So you think these witnesses could be wrong about which floor they saw they shooter but you
    can't comprehend they could have been wrong about how wide open the window was. Damn,
    you're stupid.
    Johnny the Robot speaking...
    All the other evidence screams that they got the floor correct so if they were wrong
    about anything, it was how wide open the window was. All the physical evidence was found on
    the 6th floor. The three black employees all testified they were on the 5th floor.
    Only Williams was. Jarman couldn't bring himself to put himself on the 5th floor until 2 days after the assassination. Norman didn't say anything until *four* days after the assassination. Very reluctant "witnesses".
    You assume reluctance. You fail to consider that they weren't asked by the investigators until days later. Jarman's next day affidavit was about where Oswald was.

    Fortunately, he said more than that. He said, for instance, that he was out front with, among others, Bonnie Ray Williams, waiting for the "parade". In other words, he had no idea *where* Williams was. Williams is consistent through his statements and
    testimony: He was NOT out front between 12 & 12:30. Where was Jarman? We don't know. But he doesn't seem to have been either out front or on the 5th floor that hour.

    Norman's affidavit was
    taken on December 4. It too spoke of Oswald's whereabouts.

    Norman did say he was on the
    fifth floor when the shots were fired. Now if you have an earlier record of what either man said,
    by all means present it.

    OK. He was interviewed by the FBI on 11/26. In it, he makes one statement that he never repeated:
    "[Norman], Jarman & Williams ran to the other end of the room & looked out of the windows there. He stated he saw nothing & then RETURNED TO THE WINDOW FROM WHICH HE HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY LOOKING. As with Jarman's affidavit, Norman doesn't seem to know
    exactly where & what he was doing on 11/22. And this is 4 days later...

    There is a photo
    showing they were on the 5th floor. In order to believe your wide open window nonsense, we
    have to believe those three employees perjured themselves
    No--just two.
    , the photo was a forgery, and the
    investigators moved all the physical evidence from the 5th floor to the 6th
    The rifle never saw the 6th floor--it was processed on the 5th.
    for no apparent
    reason. Only a moron would believe all that happened.
    Only a robot would say that.

    A robot could do a better job of figuring this out than you.

    You ought to know!

    We have the eyewitnesses who placed the shooter on the sixth floor.

    And others--such as Chief Deputy Sheriff Allan Sweatt, who placed him on the 5th floor. And others--Edwards, Fischer--who vacillated between 5th & 6th. And another--Amos Euins--who told reporters that the shooter was a "colored man". He also told the
    sheriffs: 5th floor, as also, originally, did the cop, Harkness, who corralled him.

    We also have witnesses
    who said the shooter's window was wide open. For the sake of argument, let's say the window
    on the sixth floor was not wide open. In absence of any other evidence, an objective look at
    this conflict would conclude that either of these accounts could be right but both cannot be
    right. That means that any witness who said the shooter fired from a wide open window on
    the 6th floor was either wrong about the location or wrong about how wide open the window
    was. But there isn't an absence of any other evidence. There is a wealth of evidence that tells
    us which element these witnesses got right and which element they got wrong.

    In support of the witnesses getting the location (6th floor) right we have the following.
    1. The rifle was found on the 6th floor. (chuckle)
    2. The spent shells were found on the 6th floor. (chuckle)
    3. The rifle bag was found on the 6th floor.
    4. Three employees testified they were occupying the fifth floor when the shots were fired from
    above them.
    5. There is a picture of these same employees looking out the window taken seconds after the
    last shot was fired.

    In support of the witnesses getting the location wrong and he window poition correct we have
    the following:

    1. Absolutely nothing.

    6 were asked: Jackson, Brennan, Edwards, & Fischer said fully open. Couch wasn't sure re 5th or 6th or wide open or not. Euins was the only one who testified 6th. And he said, originally, that it was a colored man, and that it was 5th. Outside
    witnesses were inconsistent...

    dcw


    But of course, like CTs always do, you choose not to look at the rest of the evidence to determine
    what the witnesses got wrong and what they got right. You choose to ignore everything else
    and arbitrarily decide which element the witnesses got right. As for all that other evidence that
    doesn't fit your narrative, you do something else CTs always do. You invent cockamamie excuses
    for dismissing all of that other evidence that doesn't fit your silly scenario. On top of everything
    else, to this day you have never given a plausible reason for the investigators to go to all the
    trouble of creating the illusion the lone gunman was on the 6th floor. Why not just conclude that
    the shooter fired from the 5th floor if that is where he actually fired from. What was there to
    gain by fabricating evidence that he fired from the 6th floor.

    You can't give a sensible answer to any of these questions. You just discovered some time ago
    that some of the witnesses described the shooter's window was wide open and you decided that
    must be correct and anything that doesn't fit that conclusion must be disregarded and it doesn't
    matter how silly your excuses for dismissing everything else are.

    not mention seeing Fritz at Parkland. In fact, he confirms that the detectives were on their own, not with their Captain, and that he sent them with Lumpkin, not Fritz, to the depository. Fritz "supposed" wrong about "intercepting" Curry...
    I don't see where Curry mentions seeing Decker at Parkland, either. Not in his testimony or his book. Obviously, Decker could not have been there, by your accounting :-D
    Did some checking on my own. The Homicide detectives who went with Lumpkin from the hospital to the depository were Senkel & Turner, according to Turner's report (CE 2003 p249). So Curry was right, and I was wrong. I jumped to a
    conclusion. Still, Curry didn't confirm Fritz at the hospital, but then Fritz said only "I suppose" we met Curry. So Fritz doesn't quite confirm Curry.

    Here's an idea, Don. Why don't you vet your stories before you post them. That way, you won't
    have to walk them back.
    From the guy who, like Trump, can never admit that he was wrong, never walks anything back. Uncool.
    On the rare occasions I have been wrong

    Ahem!

    , I have owned up to it.

    Although, in the case of Jackson & the wide-open window, you have later denied that you originally went along with Specter's "halfway", before taking a look at what he & Jackson were talking about.
    Your obsession with "wide open window" is hilarious. For this one, non-specific
    As I have to keep pointing out to you, it was very specific for Jackson & Brennan, who compared it to two other wide-open windows. Neither could use the "nest" window itself because it was only half open in the photos they were shown. J&B must
    have thought that it WAS wide-open at 12:30pm on 11/22/63.

    So you think these witnesses could be wrong about which floor they saw they shooter but you
    can't comprehend they could have been wrong about how wide open the window was. Damn,
    you're stupid.
    Johnny the Robot speaking...
    All the other evidence screams that they got the floor correct so if they were wrong
    about anything, it was how wide open the window was. All the physical evidence was found on
    the 6th floor. The three black employees all testified they were on the 5th floor.
    Only Williams was. Jarman couldn't bring himself to put himself on the 5th floor until 2 days after the assassination. Norman didn't say anything until *four* days after the assassination. Very reluctant "witnesses".
    You assume reluctance. You fail to consider that they weren't asked by the investigators until days later. Jarman's next day affidavit was about where Oswald was.
    Fortunately, he said more than that. He said, for instance, that he was out front with, among others, Bonnie Ray Williams, waiting for the "parade". In other words, he had no idea *where* Williams was. Williams is consistent through his statements and
    testimony: He was NOT out front between 12 & 12:30. Where was Jarman? We don't know. But he doesn't seem to have been either out front or on the 5th floor that hour.
    Norman's affidavit was
    taken on December 4. It too spoke of Oswald's whereabouts.

    Norman did say he was on the
    fifth floor when the shots were fired. Now if you have an earlier record of what either man said,
    by all means present it.
    OK. He was interviewed by the FBI on 11/26. In it, he makes one statement that he never repeated:
    "[Norman], Jarman & Williams ran to the other end of the room & looked out of the windows there. He stated he saw nothing & then RETURNED TO THE WINDOW FROM WHICH HE HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY LOOKING. As with Jarman's affidavit, Norman doesn't seem to know
    exactly where & what he was doing on 11/22. And this is 4 days later...
    There is a photo
    showing they were on the 5th floor. In order to believe your wide open window nonsense, we
    have to believe those three employees perjured themselves
    No--just two.
    , the photo was a forgery, and the
    investigators moved all the physical evidence from the 5th floor to the 6th
    The rifle never saw the 6th floor--it was processed on the 5th.
    for no apparent
    reason. Only a moron would believe all that happened.
    Only a robot would say that.

    A robot could do a better job of figuring this out than you.
    You ought to know!

    We have the eyewitnesses who placed the shooter on the sixth floor.
    And others--such as Chief Deputy Sheriff Allan Sweatt, who placed him on the 5th floor. And others--Edwards, Fischer--who vacillated between 5th & 6th. And another--Amos Euins--who told reporters that the shooter was a "colored man". He also told the
    sheriffs: 5th floor, as also, originally, did the cop, Harkness, who corralled him.
    We also have witnesses
    who said the shooter's window was wide open. For the sake of argument, let's say the window
    on the sixth floor was not wide open. In absence of any other evidence, an objective look at
    this conflict would conclude that either of these accounts could be right but both cannot be
    right. That means that any witness who said the shooter fired from a wide open window on
    the 6th floor was either wrong about the location or wrong about how wide open the window
    was. But there isn't an absence of any other evidence. There is a wealth of evidence that tells
    us which element these witnesses got right and which element they got wrong.

    In support of the witnesses getting the location (6th floor) right we have the following.
    1. The rifle was found on the 6th floor. (chuckle)
    2. The spent shells were found on the 6th floor. (chuckle)
    3. The rifle bag was found on the 6th floor.
    4. Three employees testified they were occupying the fifth floor when the shots were fired from
    above them.
    5. There is a picture of these same employees looking out the window taken seconds after the
    last shot was fired.

    In support of the witnesses getting the location wrong and he window poition correct we have
    the following:

    1. Absolutely nothing.
    6 were asked: Jackson, Brennan, Edwards, & Fischer said fully open. Couch wasn't sure re 5th or 6th or wide open or not. Euins was the only one who testified 6th. And he said, originally, that it was a colored man, and that it was 5th. Outside
    witnesses were inconsistent...

    You continue to ignore all the corroborating evidence for the 6th floor shooter while offering
    nothing to corroborate a 5th floor shooter. That says it all. It tells us the witnesses correctly
    placed the shooter on the 6th floor while being less than precise about how wide open the
    window was.

    Your scenario of a 5th floor shooter might not be the dumbest idea put forth in my over 30 years
    of arguing the case online with conspiracy hobbyists, but it definitely makes the top three. It's right up there with Greer shooting JFK and the David Lifton's Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
    Your going nowhere with it and your scenario will die with you. I won't say it will be forgotten
    because that would require people to have heard it to being with and since almost nobody ever
    has or ever will, it can't be forgotten.

    No, he didn't. Check the radio log transcriptions:

    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) What hospital did the President go to?
    Dispatcher Parkland Hospital
    Dispatcher 303, where are you?

    300 En route to the hospital.

    Then check Fritz's testimony & the Sims/Boyd report: Fritz testified, falsely (as you see, above), that he was with Sims & Boyd in the same car to Parkland. He was in a different car, supposedly en route to Parkland, while Sims & Boyd were already
    there. Sims & Boyd went to Parkland, Fritz did not.

    Use your head, Dave. If Sims and Boyd were already at Parkland Hospital, then they wouldn't have needed to ask what hospital the President had
    been taken to. The motorcade's presence wasn't exactly a stealth affair after all!
    Then the DPD & FBI didn't use their heads either. The DPD/Bowles transcription & the FBI, as you know, both included that repeat "Parkland Hospital". I'm just part of a great tradition... Or maybe there was more than one entrance to Parkland...

    But the Bowles/FBI transcripts were based on inferior copies of the originals


    Michael O'Dell generated a reconstruction of the Channel 2 traffic between 12:15 and 12:46. This was necessary because the existing Channel 2 recordings were marred by repeated skips and repeats, a legacy of the
    Gray Audiograph recording system originally used to capture the radio traffic for posterity. O'Dell took the FBI phonograph copy of the Ch 2 traffic, which is free of skips and repeats at the cost of being variable speed, and generated the timing for the various transmissions from it.
    He then made a reconstruction of the Ch 2 traffic using the best available copies of each transmission placing them time-wise using the timing he'd come up with. In his reconstruction, this is what the 12:40 conversation between the dispatcher and 303 looks like in black and white:

    303: 303
    Disp: 10-4. 12:40 [This is in response to 295's previous transmission regarding the president's wounds]
    Disp: 303
    303: What hospital did the president go to?
    Disp: Parkland Hospital
    303: 10-4
    Disp: Where are you?
    303: 300's en route
    Disp: 10-4
    Disp: Is 300 route en route to Elm and Field at that, uh, correction, Elm and Houston at that store?
    303: En route to the hospital
    Disp: 10-4

    This conversation makes more sense than the FBI version.
    Interesting, too, in that it takes Fritz right out of it. Some LN here opined that 300 himself saying "300's en route" was Fritz correcting "Parkland Hospital". Well, gee, I guess LNs can be wrong, too! (But not Corbett! Oh, no!)

    "Skips & repeats" Then I guess that the Sawyer Exhibit A (p392) was not transcribed from the same source as the later DPD & FBI transcriptions. I say that because it does not pick up "Parkland Hospital" after the "Where are you?" If so, why would the
    later transcribers use a defective recording rather than the one that the Sawyer used?

    The skips and repeats weren't created on recording, but on playback. The Gray Audiograph
    used to both record and play back channel 2 traffic was particularly cranky in this regard. The
    problem became progressively worse each time the Audiograph disk was played, since each
    playback added wear to the relatively soft celluloid of the disk. The earlier transcripts were
    made directly from the disk. The later transcripts were made from reel-to-real tape copies of
    the disks, after they had already been repeatedly played to make the earlier transcriptions. As
    the FBI put it in CE1974:

    "The [Audiograph] was purchased by the Dallas Police Department in the early 1950's. It was
    noted that these disks are badly worn from being played. In many places, the disks skip and
    portions of the messages are garbled."

    So the later transcriptions were made from a degraded form of the source used by the earlier
    transcribers. And your question, "why would the later transcribers use a defective recording
    rather than the one that the Sawyer used" is simply answered by noting that entropy is an
    inescapable presence in the physical universe. As Sting sings, "when the world is running
    down, you make the best of what's still around"


    The FBI transcriptionist may have been confused by a skip/repeat
    on the media he/she was using. Also, the voice saying "300's en
    route" is the same one as the "303" transmissions.

    The DPD (that is, CE 705) and the FBI both thought that it was "300" himself saying "300 en route" and "en route to the hospital". So it's DPD (Henslee, Sawyer Exhibits) vs DPD (Bowles, CE 705). I am reminded of the LN who thought that the voice on the
    police radio at 12:37 was the voice of Patrolman Haygood, not Patrolman Hill. But the latter ID'd himself twice at the beginning of the transmission ("22... 22").

    Henslee was working directly from the disks, and before repeated playing degraded the quality. He also had the advantage of listening to the radio chatter every day, and so would be better able to distinguish individuals
    by the sound of their voice and their speech mannerisms.

    As for Haygood....

    After going back and listening, the voice of "22" on the ch 2 recording
    really does sound like the same voice as "142." Hill appears on channel
    one about 10 minutes after this, reporting his location as Industrial and Continental and asking whether he should go to Dealey Plaza. The Ch
    1 Hill has a higher pitched voice than the one broadcasting to the
    motorcade channel.

    It's worth pointing out that, at 12:37, the only DPD officers who had any
    good idea of what happened were those in Dealey Plaza or those who
    were assigned to the Motorcade proper. Hill wasn't assigned to any of the JFK-specific details, so there is no reason for him to have been in Dealey Plaza to be involved in the earliest Police response to the assassination.
    To assert that Hill was the #22 who made the 12:37 broadcast assumes
    that he switches his radio to the wrong frequency, tells the dispatcher that the TSBD needs to be sealed off, then drives away and 10 minutes he's miles away asking if he needed to go to Dealey Plaza. That doesn't make sense.

    Don't know why the 142 voice is also the 22 voice. Maybe 142 was trying
    to say 142, but keyed the mike a bit late, so all that came out was the
    last half of 142. Maybe 142 was 22 in a previous life and was prone to flashbacks.



    The transcriptionist assumed from the message's content that it was
    sent by Fritz himself, but that is not the case.

    It's wise not to take any of the transcripts in the WCH as perfect verbatim.

    Dog Boy will say anything to confuse this "22" issue. There is no doubt whatsoever that "22" is what is spoken on the recording. It's not "142" and it's not "42.". It is "22." And to think that you can say with any certainty that the same voice speaks "
    22" and "142" is nothing short of delusion. Sure, it doesn't make sense with what L.L. Hill is supposed to be doing, but that doesn't mean it's not Hill speaking his number 22. It is more delusion to think that the only possible explanation is that the
    person speaking "22" is not really 22, but 142. That still does not make sense. Here, it is the conspiratorial explanation which makes sense, but the Nutter Retards refuse to accept anything that contradicts their orthodoxy, so they opt for a nonsensical
    explanation.

    Interesting, too, in that it takes Fritz right out of it. Some LN here opined that 300 himself saying "300's en route" was Fritz correcting "Parkland Hospital". Well, gee, I guess LNs can be wrong, too! (But not Corbett! Oh, no!)

    "Skips & repeats" Then I guess that the Sawyer Exhibit A (p392) was not transcribed from the same source as the later DPD & FBI transcriptions. I say that because it does not pick up "Parkland Hospital" after the "Where are you?" If so, why would the
    later transcribers use a defective recording rather than the one that the Sawyer used?

    The skips and repeats weren't created on recording, but on playback. The Gray Audiograph
    used to both record and play back channel 2 traffic was particularly cranky in this regard. The
    problem became progressively worse each time the Audiograph disk was played, since each
    playback added wear to the relatively soft celluloid of the disk. The earlier transcripts were
    made directly from the disk. The later transcripts were made from reel-to-real tape copies of
    the disks, after they had already been repeatedly played to make the earlier transcriptions. As
    the FBI put it in CE1974:

    "The [Audiograph] was purchased by the Dallas Police Department in the early 1950's. It was
    noted that these disks are badly worn from being played. In many places, the disks skip and
    portions of the messages are garbled."

    So the later transcriptions were made from a degraded form of the source used by the earlier
    transcribers. And your question, "why would the later transcribers use a defective recording
    rather than the one that the Sawyer used" is simply answered by noting that entropy is an
    inescapable presence in the physical universe. As Sting sings, "when the world is running
    down, you make the best of what's still around"
    The FBI transcriptionist may have been confused by a skip/repeat
    on the media he/she was using. Also, the voice saying "300's en
    route" is the same one as the "303" transmissions.
    The DPD (that is, CE 705) and the FBI both thought that it was "300" himself saying "300 en route" and "en route to the hospital". So it's DPD (Henslee, Sawyer Exhibits) vs DPD (Bowles, CE 705). I am reminded of the LN who thought that the voice on
    the police radio at 12:37 was the voice of Patrolman Haygood, not Patrolman Hill. But the latter ID'd himself twice at the beginning of the transmission ("22... 22").

    Henslee was working directly from the disks, and before repeated playing degraded the quality. He also had the advantage of listening to the radio chatter every day, and so would be better able to distinguish individuals
    by the sound of their voice and their speech mannerisms.

    You don't take into account possible *intentional* falsifications of the recordings. For instance, Sawyer's 1:12 transmission re the site of the shells. As even LN Richard Trask points out, Sawyer said "third" floor. Sawyer transcribes that as "fifth"
    floor. Everyone's favorite "mistake" for "sixth" floor--Sawyer supposedly, then, just miscounted floors. No, Henslee mis-transcribed, intentionally, and Haygood went along with Henslee at the hearings. All the better to get around that pesky "second
    window" reference in Hill's first transmission. Haygood dummies up about it, and says he doesn't have a clue who said that. However, the estimable Warren Report restores the 12:37 transmission to Hill (p116)! Bless 'em.

    Also, the follow-up to Brewer's citing of the "second" floor. Henslee has Brewer getting all the credit for the FU transmissions. But Bowles, in "JFK First Day Evidence" attributes the FUs to *Hill*. And he's right. Henslee has Brewer in the FU
    saying "I'll leave the witness here." (Sawyer Exh A p392). But the sender actually said, "I'll leave the WITNESSES here"--I've listened to the tape myself. And Bowles confirms "witnesses" and "22". (JFK FDE p408) And Hill had more than one witness,
    Tague & the "second window" witness. Brewer only testified he had one witness. Once again, Patrolman Hill aced out. By Henslee & Brewer, this time.


    As for Haygood....

    After going back and listening, the voice of "22" on the ch 2 recording really does sound like the same voice as "142." Hill appears on channel
    one about 10 minutes after this, reporting his location as Industrial and Continental and asking whether he should go to Dealey Plaza.

    Not really. What Hill asks is, "Where do you want me?" It's the dispatcher who TELLS him to report to the "vicinity of the triple underpass". (CE 1974 p29) Kind of a difference.

    The Ch
    1 Hill has a higher pitched voice than the one broadcasting to the
    motorcade channel.

    It's worth pointing out that, at 12:37, the only DPD officers who had any good idea of what happened were those in Dealey Plaza or those who
    were assigned to the Motorcade proper. Hill wasn't assigned to any of the JFK-specific details, so there is no reason for him to have been in Dealey Plaza to be involved in the earliest Police response to the assassination.

    Hill was preceding the motorcade throughout Dallas--he's on the radio earlier from other locations. At 12:03, for instance, he's at "Westmoreland & Ft Worth" (JFK FDE p378). There's no reason for him NOT to be in Dealey, or anywhere else.

    To assert that Hill was the #22 who made the 12:37 broadcast assumes
    that he switches his radio to the wrong frequency

    Recall that channel one was not operational for about 4 minutes between 12:29 and 12:33. Enough reason for a patrolman to switch frequencies. And to switch back after order was restored.

    the TSBD needs to be sealed off, then drives away and 10 minutes he's miles away asking if he needed to go to Dealey Plaza. That doesn't make sense.

    Maybe 142 was 22 in a previous life and was prone to
    flashbacks.
    The transcriptionist assumed from the message's content that it was
    sent by Fritz himself, but that is not the case.

    It's wise not to take any of the transcripts in the WCH as perfect verbatim.

    Then check Fritz's testimony & the Sims/Boyd report: Fritz testified, falsely (as you see, above), that he was with Sims & Boyd in the same car to Parkland. He was in a different car, supposedly en route to Parkland, while Sims & Boyd were
    already there. Sims & Boyd went to Parkland, Fritz did not.

    Use your head, Dave. If Sims and Boyd were already at Parkland Hospital,
    then they wouldn't have needed to ask what hospital the President had been taken to. The motorcade's presence wasn't exactly a stealth affair
    after all!
    Then the DPD & FBI didn't use their heads either. The DPD/Bowles transcription & the FBI, as you know, both included that repeat "Parkland Hospital". I'm just part of a great tradition... Or maybe there was more than one entrance to Parkland...

    But the Bowles/FBI transcripts were based on inferior copies of the originals
    Michael O'Dell generated a reconstruction of the Channel 2 traffic between
    12:15 and 12:46. This was necessary because the existing Channel 2 recordings were marred by repeated skips and repeats, a legacy of the Gray Audiograph recording system originally used to capture the radio traffic for posterity. O'Dell took the FBI phonograph copy of the Ch 2 traffic, which is free of skips and repeats at the cost of being variable
    speed, and generated the timing for the various transmissions from it. He then made a reconstruction of the Ch 2 traffic using the best available
    copies of each transmission placing them time-wise using the timing he'd
    come up with. In his reconstruction, this is what the 12:40 conversation
    between the dispatcher and 303 looks like in black and white:

    303: 303
    Disp: 10-4. 12:40 [This is in response to 295's previous transmission regarding the president's wounds]
    Disp: 303
    303: What hospital did the president go to?
    Disp: Parkland Hospital
    303: 10-4
    Disp: Where are you?
    303: 300's en route
    Disp: 10-4
    Disp: Is 300 route en route to Elm and Field at that, uh, correction, Elm and Houston at that store?
    303: En route to the hospital
    Disp: 10-4

    This conversation makes more sense than the FBI version.

    It is a characteristic of the channel two recording that a "pre-echo" can often be heard. That's why the "22" sounds as if it had been spoken twice. It really was spoken only once. You get this sort of thing with many other transmissions, including from
    Sgt. Harkness. I used to hear that sort of thing playing phonograph records, too, and the channel 2 recorder was a phonograph sort of recorder. Though I have read that this same effect is caused by magnetic tape bleed-through, so it might be an artifact
    of a subsequent tape recording, rather than the original DPD recording device.

    Maybe 142 was 22 in a previous life and was prone to
    flashbacks.
    The transcriptionist assumed from the message's content that it was
    sent by Fritz himself, but that is not the case.

    It's wise not to take any of the transcripts in the WCH as perfect verbatim.
    It is a characteristic of the channel two recording that a "pre-echo" can often be heard. That's why the "22" sounds as if it had been spoken twice. It really was spoken only once. You get this sort of thing with many other transmissions, including
    from Sgt. Harkness. I used to hear that sort of thing playing phonograph records, too, and the channel 2 recorder was a phonograph sort of recorder. Though I have read that this same effect is caused by magnetic tape bleed-through, so it might be an
    artifact of a subsequent tape recording, rather than the original DPD recording device.

    Are pre-echoes usually softer? It seemed as if Hill was trying to get the dispatcher's attention, didn't, then said "22" more loudly. But both the "pre" and the actual voice say "22", like the Warren Report reported, dammit!

    Since Fritz was up there early,

    He wasn`t, he went to Parkland.
    No, he didn't. Check the radio log transcriptions:

    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) What hospital did the President go to?
    Dispatcher Parkland Hospital
    Dispatcher 303, where are you?
    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) Parkland Hospital
    300 (Capt. John Will Fritz) 300, en route
    Dispatcher 300, are you en route to Elm and Hourson to that store?
    300 En route to the hospital.

    Then check Fritz's testimony & the Sims/Boyd report: Fritz testified, falsely (as you see, above), that he was with Sims & Boyd in the same car to Parkland. He was in a different car, supposedly en route to Parkland, while Sims & Boyd were
    already there. Sims & Boyd went to Parkland, Fritz did not.

    Use your head, Dave. If Sims and Boyd were already at Parkland Hospital,
    then they wouldn't have needed to ask what hospital the President had
    been taken to. The motorcade's presence wasn't exactly a stealth affair
    after all!
    Then the DPD & FBI didn't use their heads either. The DPD/Bowles transcription & the FBI, as you know, both included that repeat "Parkland Hospital". I'm just part of a great tradition... Or maybe there was more than one entrance to Parkland...

    But the Bowles/FBI transcripts were based on inferior copies of the originals
    Michael O'Dell generated a reconstruction of the Channel 2 traffic between
    12:15 and 12:46. This was necessary because the existing Channel 2 recordings were marred by repeated skips and repeats, a legacy of the
    Gray Audiograph recording system originally used to capture the radio
    traffic for posterity. O'Dell took the FBI phonograph copy of the Ch 2
    traffic, which is free of skips and repeats at the cost of being variable
    speed, and generated the timing for the various transmissions from it.
    He then made a reconstruction of the Ch 2 traffic using the best available
    copies of each transmission placing them time-wise using the timing he'd
    come up with. In his reconstruction, this is what the 12:40 conversation
    between the dispatcher and 303 looks like in black and white:

    303: 303
    Disp: 10-4. 12:40 [This is in response to 295's previous transmission regarding the president's wounds]
    Disp: 303
    303: What hospital did the president go to?
    Disp: Parkland Hospital
    303: 10-4
    Disp: Where are you?
    303: 300's en route
    Disp: 10-4
    Disp: Is 300 route en route to Elm and Field at that, uh, correction, Elm and Houston at that store?
    303: En route to the hospital
    Disp: 10-4

    This conversation makes more sense than the FBI version.
    Interesting, too, in that it takes Fritz right out of it. Some LN here opined that 300 himself saying "300's en route" was Fritz correcting "Parkland Hospital". Well, gee, I guess LNs can be wrong, too! (But not Corbett! Oh, no!)

    "Skips & repeats" Then I guess that the Sawyer Exhibit A (p392) was not transcribed from the same source as the later DPD & FBI transcriptions. I say that because it does not pick up "Parkland Hospital" after the "Where are you?" If so, why
    would the later transcribers use a defective recording rather than the one that the Sawyer used?

    The skips and repeats weren't created on recording, but on playback. The Gray Audiograph
    used to both record and play back channel 2 traffic was particularly cranky in this regard. The
    problem became progressively worse each time the Audiograph disk was played, since each
    playback added wear to the relatively soft celluloid of the disk. The earlier transcripts were
    made directly from the disk. The later transcripts were made from reel-to-real tape copies of
    the disks, after they had already been repeatedly played to make the earlier transcriptions. As
    the FBI put it in CE1974:

    "The [Audiograph] was purchased by the Dallas Police Department in the early 1950's. It was
    noted that these disks are badly worn from being played. In many places, the disks skip and
    portions of the messages are garbled."

    So the later transcriptions were made from a degraded form of the source used by the earlier
    transcribers. And your question, "why would the later transcribers use a defective recording
    rather than the one that the Sawyer used" is simply answered by noting that entropy is an
    inescapable presence in the physical universe. As Sting sings, "when the world is running
    down, you make the best of what's still around"
    The FBI transcriptionist may have been confused by a skip/repeat on the media he/she was using. Also, the voice saying "300's en route" is the same one as the "303" transmissions.
    The DPD (that is, CE 705) and the FBI both thought that it was "300" himself saying "300 en route" and "en route to the hospital". So it's DPD (Henslee, Sawyer Exhibits) vs DPD (Bowles, CE 705). I am reminded of the LN who thought that the
    voice on the police radio at 12:37 was the voice of Patrolman Haygood, not Patrolman Hill. But the latter ID'd himself twice at the beginning of the transmission ("22... 22").

    Henslee was working directly from the disks, and before repeated playing
    degraded the quality. He also had the advantage of listening to the radio
    chatter every day, and so would be better able to distinguish individuals
    by the sound of their voice and their speech mannerisms.
    You don't take into account possible *intentional* falsifications of the recordings. For instance, Sawyer's 1:12 transmission re the site of the shells. As even LN Richard Trask points out, Sawyer said "third" floor. Sawyer transcribes that as "
    fifth" floor. Everyone's favorite "mistake" for "sixth" floor--Sawyer supposedly, then, just miscounted floors. No, Henslee mis-transcribed, intentionally, and Haygood went along with Henslee at the hearings. All the better to get around that pesky "
    second window" reference in Hill's first transmission. Haygood dummies up about it, and says he doesn't have a clue who said that. However, the estimable Warren Report restores the 12:37 transmission to Hill (p116)! Bless 'em.

    Also, the follow-up to Brewer's citing of the "second" floor. Henslee has Brewer getting all the credit for the FU transmissions. But Bowles, in "JFK First Day Evidence" attributes the FUs to *Hill*. And he's right. Henslee has Brewer in the FU
    saying "I'll leave the witness here." (Sawyer Exh A p392). But the sender actually said, "I'll leave the WITNESSES here"--I've listened to the tape myself. And Bowles confirms "witnesses" and "22". (JFK FDE p408) And Hill had more than one witness, Tague
    & the "second window" witness. Brewer only testified he had one witness. Once again, Patrolman Hill aced out. By Henslee & Brewer, this time.

    As for Haygood....

    After going back and listening, the voice of "22" on the ch 2 recording
    really does sound like the same voice as "142." Hill appears on channel
    one about 10 minutes after this, reporting his location as Industrial and
    Continental and asking whether he should go to Dealey Plaza.
    Not really. What Hill asks is, "Where do you want me?" It's the dispatcher who TELLS him to report to the "vicinity of the triple underpass". (CE 1974 p29) Kind of a difference.
    The Ch
    1 Hill has a higher pitched voice than the one broadcasting to the motorcade channel.

    It's worth pointing out that, at 12:37, the only DPD officers who had any
    good idea of what happened were those in Dealey Plaza or those who were assigned to the Motorcade proper. Hill wasn't assigned to any of the
    JFK-specific details, so there is no reason for him to have been in Dealey
    Plaza to be involved in the earliest Police response to the assassination.
    Hill was preceding the motorcade throughout Dallas--he's on the radio earlier from other locations. At 12:03, for instance, he's at "Westmoreland & Ft Worth" (JFK FDE p378). There's no reason for him NOT to be in Dealey, or anywhere else.
    To assert that Hill was the #22 who made the 12:37 broadcast assumes that he switches his radio to the wrong frequency
    Recall that channel one was not operational for about 4 minutes between 12:29 and 12:33. Enough reason for a patrolman to switch frequencies. And to switch back after order was restored.
    tells the dispatcher that
    the TSBD needs to be sealed off, then drives away and 10 minutes he's miles
    away asking if he needed to go to Dealey Plaza. That doesn't make sense.
    You're phrasing it so that it doesn't make sense. The dispatcher TOLD Hill to go to the triple underpass area.


    As I said, Hill was very mobile. Later, he ends up at the scene of the library sighting.
    Don't know why the 142 voice is also the 22 voice. Maybe 142 was trying
    to say 142, but keyed the mike a bit late, so all that came out was the
    last half of 142.
    That might fly, but Hill says "22" twice, so it wasn't just the keying.

    Yes, the "pre-echos" are softer. But he still does say, "22." No doubt about that. Uncharacteristically, the dispatcher does not repeat the number...as if the dispatcher knows that 22 speaking up is a problem.

    You don't take into account possible *intentional* falsifications of the recordings.

    You haven't given anyone any good reason to need to take this into account.
    In reality, your whole screed is a poor attempt to distract from the fact that the 12:40 conversation between the ch 2 dispatcher and 303 is the only conversation at the time. That's what the recording actually shows. You're
    just relying a a faulty bit of transcription.


    For instance, Sawyer's 1:12 transmission re the site of the shells. As even LN Richard Trask points out, Sawyer said "third" floor. Sawyer transcribes that as "fifth" floor. Everyone's favorite "mistake" for "sixth" floor--Sawyer supposedly, then, just

    doesn't have a clue who said that. However, the estimable Warren Report restores the 12:37 transmission to Hill (p116)! Bless 'em.

    What makes Trask an independent expert on the police radio traffic?
    If he's relying on a faulty transcript, then he's just as wrong as it is.
    Even then, what does it matter if Sawyer said "third" or "fifth?"
    Sawyer was on the sidewalk outside of the building, relying on
    what others are telling him, quite possibly under less-than-ideal circumstances. At the time, he was essentially the communications
    hub for all of the Police activity in and around the building. As such
    he was deluged by information coming from different directions,
    and it's far from impossible that he would telephone-game something
    shouted to him from within the building. The witnesses who matter
    are the ones who actually saw the hulls in situ.

    BTW, if you look at films and photos of the TSBD in the immediate
    aftermath of the assassination, the windows on the second, third,
    and fourth floors were closed. Did your gunman shoot through the
    glass, then instantly replace the broken pane?


    Also, the follow-up to Brewer's citing of the "second" floor. Henslee has Brewer getting all the credit for the FU transmissions. But Bowles, in "JFK First Day Evidence" attributes the FUs to *Hill*. And he's right. Henslee has Brewer in the FU saying "
    I'll leave the witness here." (Sawyer Exh A p392). But the sender actually said, "I'll leave the WITNESSES here"--I've listened to the tape myself. And Bowles confirms "witnesses" and "22". (JFK FDE p408) And Hill had more than one witness, Tague & the "
    second window" witness. Brewer only testified he had one witness. Once again, Patrolman Hill aced out. By Henslee & Brewer, this time.

    Again, what makes Trask a expert on the DPD radio traffic? And
    why is it significant that Henslee omits a plural? All of the transcriptions have errors, including the best ones (e.g. Shearer's take on Channel
    1 traffic). Getting a transcription exactly correct is not an easy thing to do, especially when you have to wade through hours of traffic to do so.
    But what matters in the end is no what Trask thinks or what Bowles
    thinks, or even what's on the transcripts, but what's on the actual recordings. And if you actually listen, you'll hear that the voice behind
    "22" sounds exactly like the one behind "142." And the Brewer
    conversation really is between "137," a number that the dispatcher
    confirms in response.


    As for Haygood....

    After going back and listening, the voice of "22" on the ch 2 recording really does sound like the same voice as "142." Hill appears on channel one about 10 minutes after this, reporting his location as Industrial and Continental and asking whether he should go to Dealey Plaza.

    Not really. What Hill asks is, "Where do you want me?" It's the dispatcher who TELLS him to report to the "vicinity of the triple underpass". (CE 1974 p29) Kind of a difference.

    Look at the context. The dispatchers begin sending DPD officers to Dealey Plaza en masse at 12:41 on "Code 3" (ie, with sirens and lights). A number of units check in, some indicating that they are on the way. Others ask if they should go, like 77 and 113. It's not always an explicit question. For instance:

    71: 71.
    Disp: 71.
    71: Corinth and Harwood.
    Disp: Code 3.

    (Corinth and Harwood is in The Cedars, between downtown and
    the Trinity, BTW.)

    In this context, "where do you want me?" is the same as "do you want me
    to go to Elm and Houston?" It makes no sense any other way.



    The Ch
    1 Hill has a higher pitched voice than the one broadcasting to the motorcade channel.

    It's worth pointing out that, at 12:37, the only DPD officers who had any good idea of what happened were those in Dealey Plaza or those who
    were assigned to the Motorcade proper. Hill wasn't assigned to any of the JFK-specific details, so there is no reason for him to have been in Dealey Plaza to be involved in the earliest Police response to the assassination.

    Hill was preceding the motorcade throughout Dallas--he's on the radio earlier from other locations. At 12:03, for instance, he's at "Westmoreland & Ft Worth" (JFK FDE p378). There's no reason for him NOT to be in Dealey, or anywhere else.

    The intersection of Westmoreland and Ft Worth is 4 miles WSW of the closest point on the motorcade route, and south of the Trinity river. This itself disproves your contention that Hill was "preceding the motorcade throughout Dallas"


    To assert that Hill was the #22 who made the 12:37 broadcast assumes
    that he switches his radio to the wrong frequency

    Recall that channel one was not operational for about 4 minutes between 12:29 and 12:33. Enough reason for a patrolman to switch frequencies. And to switch back after order was restored.

    Channel 1 was indeed operational between 12:29 and 12:33. You actually
    hear any number of guys trying to key in, and a few actually manage to
    say something during the open-mic interval. Anyway, if the open mic on
    channel one would have caused officers to switch channels, we should see channel-one type radio activity on channel two at the same time as "Hill." That doesn't happen, so you're SOL here.


    tells the dispatcher that
    the TSBD needs to be sealed off, then drives away and 10 minutes he's miles
    away asking if he needed to go to Dealey Plaza. That doesn't make sense.

    You're phrasing it so that it doesn't make sense. The dispatcher TOLD Hill to go to the triple underpass area.

    As I said, in context, Hill's question doesn't make sense unless he's asking whether or not to go to Dealey Plaza.


    As I said, Hill was very mobile. Later, he ends up at the scene of the library sighting.

    So?


    Don't know why the 142 voice is also the 22 voice. Maybe 142 was trying
    to say 142, but keyed the mike a bit late, so all that came out was the last half of 142.

    That might fly, but Hill says "22" twice, so it wasn't just the keying.

    Does he say it twice, or is it just the result of an Audiograph-induced repeat?


    Maybe 142 was 22 in a previous life and was prone to
    flashbacks.
    The transcriptionist assumed from the message's content that it was
    sent by Fritz himself, but that is not the case.

    It's wise not to take any of the transcripts in the WCH as perfect verbatim.

    Then check Fritz's testimony & the Sims/Boyd report: Fritz testified, falsely (as you see, above), that he was with Sims & Boyd in the same car to Parkland. He was in a different car, supposedly en route to Parkland, while Sims & Boyd were
    already there. Sims & Boyd went to Parkland, Fritz did not.

    Use your head, Dave. If Sims and Boyd were already at Parkland Hospital,
    then they wouldn't have needed to ask what hospital the President had
    been taken to. The motorcade's presence wasn't exactly a stealth affair
    after all!
    Then the DPD & FBI didn't use their heads either. The DPD/Bowles transcription & the FBI, as you know, both included that repeat "Parkland Hospital". I'm just part of a great tradition... Or maybe there was more than one entrance to Parkland...

    But the Bowles/FBI transcripts were based on inferior copies of the originals
    Michael O'Dell generated a reconstruction of the Channel 2 traffic between
    12:15 and 12:46. This was necessary because the existing Channel 2 recordings were marred by repeated skips and repeats, a legacy of the
    Gray Audiograph recording system originally used to capture the radio
    traffic for posterity. O'Dell took the FBI phonograph copy of the Ch 2
    traffic, which is free of skips and repeats at the cost of being variable
    speed, and generated the timing for the various transmissions from it.
    He then made a reconstruction of the Ch 2 traffic using the best available
    copies of each transmission placing them time-wise using the timing he'd
    come up with. In his reconstruction, this is what the 12:40 conversation
    between the dispatcher and 303 looks like in black and white:

    303: 303
    Disp: 10-4. 12:40 [This is in response to 295's previous transmission regarding the president's wounds]
    Disp: 303
    303: What hospital did the president go to?
    Disp: Parkland Hospital
    303: 10-4
    Disp: Where are you?
    303: 300's en route
    Disp: 10-4
    Disp: Is 300 route en route to Elm and Field at that, uh, correction, Elm and Houston at that store?
    303: En route to the hospital
    Disp: 10-4

    This conversation makes more sense than the FBI version.
    Interesting, too, in that it takes Fritz right out of it. Some LN here opined that 300 himself saying "300's en route" was Fritz correcting "Parkland Hospital". Well, gee, I guess LNs can be wrong, too! (But not Corbett! Oh, no!)

    "Skips & repeats" Then I guess that the Sawyer Exhibit A (p392) was not transcribed from the same source as the later DPD & FBI transcriptions. I say that because it does not pick up "Parkland Hospital" after the "Where are you?" If so, why would
    the later transcribers use a defective recording rather than the one that the Sawyer used?

    The skips and repeats weren't created on recording, but on playback. The Gray Audiograph
    used to both record and play back channel 2 traffic was particularly cranky in this regard. The
    problem became progressively worse each time the Audiograph disk was played, since each
    playback added wear to the relatively soft celluloid of the disk. The earlier transcripts were
    made directly from the disk. The later transcripts were made from reel-to-real tape copies of
    the disks, after they had already been repeatedly played to make the earlier transcriptions. As
    the FBI put it in CE1974:

    "The [Audiograph] was purchased by the Dallas Police Department in the early 1950's. It was
    noted that these disks are badly worn from being played. In many places, the disks skip and
    portions of the messages are garbled."

    So the later transcriptions were made from a degraded form of the source used by the earlier
    transcribers. And your question, "why would the later transcribers use a defective recording
    rather than the one that the Sawyer used" is simply answered by noting that entropy is an
    inescapable presence in the physical universe. As Sting sings, "when the world is running
    down, you make the best of what's still around"
    The FBI transcriptionist may have been confused by a skip/repeat
    on the media he/she was using. Also, the voice saying "300's en route" is the same one as the "303" transmissions.
    The DPD (that is, CE 705) and the FBI both thought that it was "300" himself saying "300 en route" and "en route to the hospital". So it's DPD (Henslee, Sawyer Exhibits) vs DPD (Bowles, CE 705). I am reminded of the LN who thought that the voice
    on the police radio at 12:37 was the voice of Patrolman Haygood, not Patrolman Hill. But the latter ID'd himself twice at the beginning of the transmission ("22... 22").

    Henslee was working directly from the disks, and before repeated playing degraded the quality. He also had the advantage of listening to the radio
    chatter every day, and so would be better able to distinguish individuals
    by the sound of their voice and their speech mannerisms.

    You don't take into account possible *intentional* falsifications of the recordings.
    You haven't given anyone any good reason to need to take this into account. In reality, your whole screed is a poor attempt to distract from the fact that
    the 12:40 conversation between the ch 2 dispatcher and 303 is the only conversation at the time. That's what the recording actually shows. You're just relying a a faulty bit of transcription.

    No--I've listened to the tape. But I've now taken into account your suggestion that the second "Parkland Hospital" is just a playback repetition.

    For instance, Sawyer's 1:12 transmission re the site of the shells. As even LN Richard Trask points out, Sawyer said "third" floor. Sawyer transcribes that as "fifth" floor. Everyone's favorite "mistake" for "sixth" floor--Sawyer supposedly, then,
    just miscounted floors. No, Henslee mis-transcribed, intentionally, and Haygood went along with Henslee at the hearings. All the better to get around that pesky "second window" reference in Hill's first transmission. Haygood dummies up about it, and says
    he doesn't have a clue who said that. However, the estimable Warren Report restores the 12:37 transmission to Hill (p116)! Bless 'em.
    What makes Trask an independent expert on the police radio traffic?
    If he's relying on a faulty transcript, then he's just as wrong as it is.

    He wasn't. A footnote: "Audio tape of DPD transmissions, 11/22/63, as provided by Stephan N. Barber, and transcribed by Trask" (p557, 558).

    Even then, what does it matter if Sawyer said "third" or "fifth?"
    Sawyer was on the sidewalk outside of the building, relying on
    what others are telling him

    Sgt. Gerald Hill, accompanied in his car by Officer James Valentine, testified that when they arrived at the depository, they went inside with Sawyer (v7p45). This would be about 12:50 or so: Hill/Valentine radioed at 12:48 that they were on their way
    to Elm & Houston (CE 1974 p26). Sawyer had just heard, at 12:46, from the dispatcher, that "it did come from the fifth or fourth floor of that building" (Sawyer exh. A p399), his first knowledge that shots had come from the depository. He testified
    that he indeed had gone in with a "couple of officers" (v6pp317, 319). This contradicts another part of his testimony, where he concedes that he didn't enter until about 12:34 (p319), after he had first attempted to say that he was in there around 12:
    30, after (Sawyer testifies) Sheriff Decker mentioned the depository (p317). Check your tapes/transcriptions: Decker made no mention at 12:30 re the depository.

    So, Sawyer is entering the building some 20 minutes later than he first testified, and about 14 minutes after his second shot at his entry time. (Counsel--after first correcting Sawyer re the 12:30 time--in error, accepted that second time.) He told
    Belin that he was down and out the building by about "12:37" (v6p320). In fact, he hadn't even gone in yet, not for another 13 minutes or so! When did he actually leave the building? We don't know, but not at least until about 12:55 or 1:00, if he
    didn't go in until 12:50 or so. In fact, about 1 o'clock, Capt. Talbert radios, "I think Lumpkin and Sawyer both are in the building." (CE 1974 p43)

    In other words, Sawyer was in the building, still, about the time--12:48--that the shells were found. And his destination was the 4th or 5th floor. In his testimony, he pretends that due to some elevator confusion, he went up only to the 4th floor.
    But another member of his search party, Valentine, wrote that he, Valentine, was "assigned to the fifth floor" (v25p914).

    Sawyer, then, was not "on the sidewalk outside of the building" when the shells were found. He was on the fifth floor, where shells and chicken remains were found. And no one ever said that he shouted out an upstairs window re chicken...

    Reminds me--I better stop for lunch...

    dcw


    , quite possibly under less-than-ideal
    circumstances. At the time, he was essentially the communications
    hub for all of the Police activity in and around the building. As such
    he was deluged by information coming from different directions,
    and it's far from impossible that he would telephone-game something
    shouted to him from within the building. The witnesses who matter
    are the ones who actually saw the hulls in situ.

    BTW, if you look at films and photos of the TSBD in the immediate
    aftermath of the assassination, the windows on the second, third,
    and fourth floors were closed. Did your gunman shoot through the
    glass, then instantly replace the broken pane?
    Also, the follow-up to Brewer's citing of the "second" floor. Henslee has Brewer getting all the credit for the FU transmissions. But Bowles, in "JFK First Day Evidence" attributes the FUs to *Hill*. And he's right. Henslee has Brewer in the FU
    saying "I'll leave the witness here." (Sawyer Exh A p392). But the sender actually said, "I'll leave the WITNESSES here"--I've listened to the tape myself. And Bowles confirms "witnesses" and "22". (JFK FDE p408) And Hill had more than one witness, Tague
    & the "second window" witness. Brewer only testified he had one witness. Once again, Patrolman Hill aced out. By Henslee & Brewer, this time.
    Again, what makes Trask a expert on the DPD radio traffic? And
    why is it significant that Henslee omits a plural? All of the transcriptions have errors, including the best ones (e.g. Shearer's take on Channel
    1 traffic). Getting a transcription exactly correct is not an easy thing to do, especially when you have to wade through hours of traffic to do so.
    But what matters in the end is no what Trask thinks or what Bowles
    thinks, or even what's on the transcripts, but what's on the actual recordings. And if you actually listen, you'll hear that the voice behind "22" sounds exactly like the one behind "142." And the Brewer
    conversation really is between "137," a number that the dispatcher
    confirms in response.
    As for Haygood....

    After going back and listening, the voice of "22" on the ch 2 recording really does sound like the same voice as "142." Hill appears on channel one about 10 minutes after this, reporting his location as Industrial and
    Continental and asking whether he should go to Dealey Plaza.

    Not really. What Hill asks is, "Where do you want me?" It's the dispatcher who TELLS him to report to the "vicinity of the triple underpass". (CE 1974 p29) Kind of a difference.
    Look at the context. The dispatchers begin sending DPD officers to Dealey Plaza en masse at 12:41 on "Code 3" (ie, with sirens and lights). A number of
    units check in, some indicating that they are on the way. Others ask if they should go, like 77 and 113. It's not always an explicit question. For instance:

    71: 71.
    Disp: 71.
    71: Corinth and Harwood.
    Disp: Code 3.

    (Corinth and Harwood is in The Cedars, between downtown and
    the Trinity, BTW.)

    In this context, "where do you want me?" is the same as "do you want me
    to go to Elm and Houston?" It makes no sense any other way.
    The Ch
    1 Hill has a higher pitched voice than the one broadcasting to the motorcade channel.

    It's worth pointing out that, at 12:37, the only DPD officers who had any
    good idea of what happened were those in Dealey Plaza or those who
    were assigned to the Motorcade proper. Hill wasn't assigned to any of the
    JFK-specific details, so there is no reason for him to have been in Dealey
    Plaza to be involved in the earliest Police response to the assassination.

    Hill was preceding the motorcade throughout Dallas--he's on the radio earlier from other locations. At 12:03, for instance, he's at "Westmoreland & Ft Worth" (JFK FDE p378). There's no reason for him NOT to be in Dealey, or anywhere else.
    The intersection of Westmoreland and Ft Worth is 4 miles WSW of the closest point on the motorcade route, and south of the Trinity river. This itself disproves your contention that Hill was "preceding the motorcade throughout Dallas"
    To assert that Hill was the #22 who made the 12:37 broadcast assumes that he switches his radio to the wrong frequency

    Recall that channel one was not operational for about 4 minutes between 12:29 and 12:33. Enough reason for a patrolman to switch frequencies. And to switch back after order was restored.
    Channel 1 was indeed operational between 12:29 and 12:33. You actually
    hear any number of guys trying to key in, and a few actually manage to
    say something during the open-mic interval. Anyway, if the open mic on channel one would have caused officers to switch channels, we should see channel-one type radio activity on channel two at the same time as "Hill." That doesn't happen, so you're SOL here.
    tells the dispatcher that
    the TSBD needs to be sealed off, then drives away and 10 minutes he's miles
    away asking if he needed to go to Dealey Plaza. That doesn't make sense.

    You're phrasing it so that it doesn't make sense. The dispatcher TOLD Hill to go to the triple underpass area.
    As I said, in context, Hill's question doesn't make sense unless he's asking whether or not to go to Dealey Plaza.
    As I said, Hill was very mobile. Later, he ends up at the scene of the library sighting.
    So?
    Don't know why the 142 voice is also the 22 voice. Maybe 142 was trying to say 142, but keyed the mike a bit late, so all that came out was the last half of 142.

    That might fly, but Hill says "22" twice, so it wasn't just the keying.
    Does he say it twice, or is it just the result of an Audiograph-induced repeat?
    Maybe 142 was 22 in a previous life and was prone to
    flashbacks.
    The transcriptionist assumed from the message's content that it was
    sent by Fritz himself, but that is not the case.

    It's wise not to take any of the transcripts in the WCH as perfect verbatim.

    Belin that he was down and out the building by about "12:37" (v6p320). In fact, he hadn't even gone in yet, not for another 13 minutes or so! When did he actually leave the building? We don't know, but not at least until about 12:55 or 1:00, if he didn't
    go in until 12:50 or so. In fact, about 1 o'clock, Capt. Talbert radios, "I think Lumpkin and Sawyer both are in the building." (CE 1974 p43)

    In other words, Sawyer was in the building, still, about the time--12:48

    *******************Correction: "12:58".************************

    --that the shells were found. And his destination was the 4th or 5th floor. In his testimony, he pretends that due to some elevator confusion, he went up only to the 4th floor. But another member of his search party, Valentine, wrote that he, Valentine,
    was "assigned to the fifth floor" (v25p914).

    Sawyer, then, was not "on the sidewalk outside of the building" when the shells were found. He was on the fifth floor, where shells and chicken remains were found. And no one ever said that he shouted out an upstairs window re chicken...

    Reminds me--I better stop for lunch...

    dcw
    , quite possibly under less-than-ideal
    circumstances. At the time, he was essentially the communications
    hub for all of the Police activity in and around the building. As such
    he was deluged by information coming from different directions,
    and it's far from impossible that he would telephone-game something shouted to him from within the building. The witnesses who matter
    are the ones who actually saw the hulls in situ.

    And Sawyer was one of them. (See above.)


    BTW, if you look at films and photos of the TSBD in the immediate aftermath of the assassination, the windows on the second, third,
    and fourth floors were closed. Did your gunman shoot through the
    glass, then instantly replace the broken pane?

    Witty. Sawyer radioed "3rd floor", but he was telling reporters "5th floor", as in 5th-floor up, the equivalent of 3rd-floor down.

    Also, the follow-up to Brewer's citing of the "second" floor. Henslee has Brewer getting all the credit for the FU transmissions. But Bowles, in "JFK First Day Evidence" attributes the FUs to *Hill*. And he's right. Henslee has Brewer in the FU
    saying "I'll leave the witness here." (Sawyer Exh A p392). But the sender actually said, "I'll leave the WITNESSES here"--I've listened to the tape myself. And Bowles confirms "witnesses" and "22". (JFK FDE p408) And Hill had more than one witness, Tague
    & the "second window" witness. Brewer only testified he had one witness. Once again, Patrolman Hill aced out. By Henslee & Brewer, this time.
    Again, what makes Trask a expert on the DPD radio traffic? And
    why is it significant that Henslee omits a plural?

    I told you--it was Hill, and he meant plural--"witnesses". Clever Henslee changed the word "witnesses" to "witness". Try to keep up with him.

    All of the transcriptions
    have errors, including the best ones (e.g. Shearer's take on Channel
    1 traffic). Getting a transcription exactly correct is not an easy thing to
    do, especially when you have to wade through hours of traffic to do so. But what matters in the end is no what Trask thinks or what Bowles
    thinks, or even what's on the transcripts, but what's on the actual recordings. And if you actually listen, you'll hear that the voice behind "22" sounds exactly like the one behind "142."

    Bowles and the FBI transcriber both heard "22".

    And the Brewer
    conversation really is between "137," a number that the dispatcher confirms in response.

    The first transmission is indeed from 137. The rest are not.

    As for Haygood....

    After going back and listening, the voice of "22" on the ch 2 recording
    really does sound like the same voice as "142." Hill appears on channel
    one about 10 minutes after this, reporting his location as Industrial and
    Continental and asking whether he should go to Dealey Plaza.

    Not really. What Hill asks is, "Where do you want me?" It's the dispatcher who TELLS him to report to the "vicinity of the triple underpass". (CE 1974 p29) Kind of a difference.
    Look at the context. The dispatchers begin sending DPD officers to Dealey Plaza en masse at 12:41 on "Code 3" (ie, with sirens and lights). A number of
    units check in, some indicating that they are on the way. Others ask if they
    should go, like 77 and 113. It's not always an explicit question. For instance:

    71: 71.
    Disp: 71.
    71: Corinth and Harwood.
    Disp: Code 3.

    (Corinth and Harwood is in The Cedars, between downtown and
    the Trinity, BTW.)

    In this context, "where do you want me?" is the same as "do you want me
    to go to Elm and Houston?" It makes no sense any other way.

    Try that again, in English. Your "no sense" makes no sense.

    The Ch
    1 Hill has a higher pitched voice than the one broadcasting to the motorcade channel.

    It's worth pointing out that, at 12:37, the only DPD officers who had any
    good idea of what happened were those in Dealey Plaza or those who were assigned to the Motorcade proper. Hill wasn't assigned to any of the
    JFK-specific details, so there is no reason for him to have been in Dealey
    Plaza to be involved in the earliest Police response to the assassination.

    Hill was preceding the motorcade throughout Dallas--he's on the radio earlier from other locations. At 12:03, for instance, he's at "Westmoreland & Ft Worth" (JFK FDE p378). There's no reason for him NOT to be in Dealey, or anywhere else.
    The intersection of Westmoreland and Ft Worth is 4 miles WSW of the closest
    point on the motorcade route, and south of the Trinity river. This itself disproves your contention that Hill was "preceding the motorcade throughout
    Dallas"
    To assert that Hill was the #22 who made the 12:37 broadcast assumes that he switches his radio to the wrong frequency

    Recall that channel one was not operational for about 4 minutes between 12:29 and 12:33. Enough reason for a patrolman to switch frequencies. And to switch back after order was restored.
    Channel 1 was indeed operational between 12:29 and 12:33. You actually hear any number of guys trying to key in, and a few actually manage to
    say something during the open-mic interval. Anyway, if the open mic on channel one would have caused officers to switch channels, we should see channel-one type radio activity on channel two at the same time as "Hill."

    Maybe he was smartest than the other officers.

    That doesn't happen, so you're SOL here.
    tells the dispatcher that
    the TSBD needs to be sealed off, then drives away and 10 minutes he's miles
    away asking if he needed to go to Dealey Plaza. That doesn't make sense.

    You're phrasing it so that it doesn't make sense. The dispatcher TOLD Hill to go to the triple underpass area.
    As I said, in context, Hill's question doesn't make sense unless he's asking
    whether or not to go to Dealey Plaza.

    Again, your "doesn't make sense" doesn't make sense.

    As I said, Hill was very mobile. Later, he ends up at the scene of the library sighting.
    So?
    Don't know why the 142 voice is also the 22 voice. Maybe 142 was trying
    to say 142, but keyed the mike a bit late, so all that came out was the
    last half of 142.

    That might fly, but Hill says "22" twice, so it wasn't just the keying.
    Does he say it twice, or is it just the result of an Audiograph-induced repeat?

    Skythrone clued me into that, thank you.

    dcw

    Maybe 142 was 22 in a previous life and was prone to
    flashbacks.
    The transcriptionist assumed from the message's content that it was
    sent by Fritz himself, but that is not the case.

    It's wise not to take any of the transcripts in the WCH as perfect verbatim.

    Since Fritz was up there early,

    No, he didn't. Check the radio log transcriptions:

    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) What hospital did the President go to?
    Dispatcher Parkland Hospital
    Dispatcher 303, where are you?
    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) Parkland Hospital
    300 (Capt. John Will Fritz) 300, en route
    Dispatcher 300, are you en route to Elm and Hourson to that store?
    300 En route to the hospital.

    Then check Fritz's testimony & the Sims/Boyd report: Fritz testified, falsely (as you see, above), that he was with Sims & Boyd in the same car to Parkland. He was in a different car, supposedly en route to Parkland, while Sims & Boyd were
    already there. Sims & Boyd went to Parkland, Fritz did not.

    Use your head, Dave. If Sims and Boyd were already at Parkland Hospital,
    then they wouldn't have needed to ask what hospital the President had
    been taken to. The motorcade's presence wasn't exactly a stealth affair
    after all!
    Then the DPD & FBI didn't use their heads either. The DPD/Bowles transcription & the FBI, as you know, both included that repeat "Parkland Hospital". I'm just part of a great tradition... Or maybe there was more than one entrance to Parkland...

    But the Bowles/FBI transcripts were based on inferior copies of the originals
    Michael O'Dell generated a reconstruction of the Channel 2 traffic between
    12:15 and 12:46. This was necessary because the existing Channel 2 recordings were marred by repeated skips and repeats, a legacy of the
    Gray Audiograph recording system originally used to capture the radio
    traffic for posterity. O'Dell took the FBI phonograph copy of the Ch 2
    traffic, which is free of skips and repeats at the cost of being variable
    speed, and generated the timing for the various transmissions from it.
    He then made a reconstruction of the Ch 2 traffic using the best available
    copies of each transmission placing them time-wise using the timing he'd
    come up with. In his reconstruction, this is what the 12:40 conversation
    between the dispatcher and 303 looks like in black and white:

    303: 303
    Disp: 10-4. 12:40 [This is in response to 295's previous transmission regarding the president's wounds]
    Disp: 303
    303: What hospital did the president go to?
    Disp: Parkland Hospital
    303: 10-4
    Disp: Where are you?
    303: 300's en route
    Disp: 10-4
    Disp: Is 300 route en route to Elm and Field at that, uh, correction, Elm and Houston at that store?
    303: En route to the hospital
    Disp: 10-4

    This conversation makes more sense than the FBI version.
    Interesting, too, in that it takes Fritz right out of it. Some LN here opined that 300 himself saying "300's en route" was Fritz correcting "Parkland Hospital". Well, gee, I guess LNs can be wrong, too! (But not Corbett! Oh, no!)

    "Skips & repeats" Then I guess that the Sawyer Exhibit A (p392) was not transcribed from the same source as the later DPD & FBI transcriptions. I say that because it does not pick up "Parkland Hospital" after the "Where are you?" If so, why
    would the later transcribers use a defective recording rather than the one that the Sawyer used?

    The skips and repeats weren't created on recording, but on playback. The Gray Audiograph
    used to both record and play back channel 2 traffic was particularly cranky in this regard. The
    problem became progressively worse each time the Audiograph disk was played, since each
    playback added wear to the relatively soft celluloid of the disk. The earlier transcripts were
    made directly from the disk. The later transcripts were made from reel-to-real tape copies of
    the disks, after they had already been repeatedly played to make the earlier transcriptions. As
    the FBI put it in CE1974:

    "The [Audiograph] was purchased by the Dallas Police Department in the early 1950's. It was
    noted that these disks are badly worn from being played. In many places, the disks skip and
    portions of the messages are garbled."

    So the later transcriptions were made from a degraded form of the source used by the earlier
    transcribers. And your question, "why would the later transcribers use a defective recording
    rather than the one that the Sawyer used" is simply answered by noting that entropy is an
    inescapable presence in the physical universe. As Sting sings, "when the world is running
    down, you make the best of what's still around"
    The FBI transcriptionist may have been confused by a skip/repeat on the media he/she was using. Also, the voice saying "300's en route" is the same one as the "303" transmissions.
    The DPD (that is, CE 705) and the FBI both thought that it was "300" himself saying "300 en route" and "en route to the hospital". So it's DPD (Henslee, Sawyer Exhibits) vs DPD (Bowles, CE 705). I am reminded of the LN who thought that the
    voice on the police radio at 12:37 was the voice of Patrolman Haygood, not Patrolman Hill. But the latter ID'd himself twice at the beginning of the transmission ("22... 22").

    Henslee was working directly from the disks, and before repeated playing
    degraded the quality. He also had the advantage of listening to the radio
    chatter every day, and so would be better able to distinguish individuals
    by the sound of their voice and their speech mannerisms.

    You don't take into account possible *intentional* falsifications of the recordings.
    You haven't given anyone any good reason to need to take this into account.
    In reality, your whole screed is a poor attempt to distract from the fact that
    the 12:40 conversation between the ch 2 dispatcher and 303 is the only conversation at the time. That's what the recording actually shows. You're just relying a a faulty bit of transcription.

    No--I've listened to the tape. But I've now taken into account your suggestion that the second "Parkland Hospital" is just a playback repetition.

    For instance, Sawyer's 1:12 transmission re the site of the shells. As even LN Richard Trask points out, Sawyer said "third" floor. Sawyer transcribes that as "fifth" floor. Everyone's favorite "mistake" for "sixth" floor--Sawyer supposedly, then,
    just miscounted floors. No, Henslee mis-transcribed, intentionally, and Haygood went along with Henslee at the hearings. All the better to get around that pesky "second window" reference in Hill's first transmission. Haygood dummies up about it, and says
    he doesn't have a clue who said that. However, the estimable Warren Report restores the 12:37 transmission to Hill (p116)! Bless 'em.
    What makes Trask an independent expert on the police radio traffic?
    If he's relying on a faulty transcript, then he's just as wrong as it is.
    He wasn't. A footnote: "Audio tape of DPD transmissions, 11/22/63, as provided by Stephan N. Barber, and transcribed by Trask" (p557, 558).

    Trask still missed that "Hill's" voice sounds exactly like Haygood's, and is different from the 12:47 Hill's.


    Even then, what does it matter if Sawyer said "third" or "fifth?"
    Sawyer was on the sidewalk outside of the building, relying on
    what others are telling him
    Sgt. Gerald Hill, accompanied in his car by Officer James Valentine, testified that when they arrived at the depository, they went inside with Sawyer (v7p45). This would be about 12:50 or so: Hill/Valentine radioed at 12:48 that they were on their way
    to Elm & Houston (CE 1974 p26). Sawyer had just heard, at 12:46, from the dispatcher, that "it did come from the fifth or fourth floor of that building" (Sawyer exh. A p399), his first knowledge that shots had come from the depository. He testified that
    he indeed had gone in with a "couple of officers" (v6pp317, 319). This contradicts another part of his testimony, where he concedes that he didn't enter until about 12:34 (p319), after he had first attempted to say that he was in there around 12:30,
    after (Sawyer testifies) Sheriff Decker mentioned the depository (p317). Check your tapes/transcriptions: Decker made no mention at 12:30 re the depository.

    So, Sawyer is entering the building some 20 minutes later than he first testified, and about 14 minutes after his second shot at his entry time. (Counsel--after first correcting Sawyer re the 12:30 time--in error, accepted that second time.) He told
    Belin that he was down and out the building by about "12:37" (v6p320). In fact, he hadn't even gone in yet, not for another 13 minutes or so! When did he actually leave the building? We don't know, but not at least until about 12:55 or 1:00, if he didn't
    go in until 12:50 or so. In fact, about 1 o'clock, Capt. Talbert radios, "I think Lumpkin and Sawyer both are in the building." (CE 1974 p43)

    In other words, Sawyer was in the building, still, about the time--12:48--that the shells were found. And his destination was the 4th or 5th floor. In his testimony, he pretends that due to some elevator confusion, he went up only to the 4th floor. But
    another member of his search party, Valentine, wrote that he, Valentine, was "assigned to the fifth floor" (v25p914).

    Sawyer, then, was not "on the sidewalk outside of the building" when the shells were found. He was on the fifth floor, where shells and chicken remains were found. And no one ever said that he shouted out an upstairs window re chicken...

    Sawyer testified that he exited his car in front of the TSBD no earlier than 12:34. In reality, the Martin film and Harkness' testimony indicate that Sawyer pulled to the curb about 12:36. Sawyer said that he then spent a few minutes listening to what
    people had to say about what had happened before taking a small delegation of DPD officers up the front elevator to the fourth floor. He looked around the floor for a coupe of minutes, then went back down to the sidewalk in front of the building.

    Hill never actually claimed that Sawyer was with him in the TSBD during Hill's many happy adventures in the building. Hill mentions Sawyer being in front of the TSBD when Hill initially shows up, and doesn't mentions Sawyer again until Hill had completed
    his TSBD World Tour '63 and exited the building. In Hill's version, Sawyer only exists outside of the building.


    Reminds me--I better stop for lunch...

    dcw
    , quite possibly under less-than-ideal
    circumstances. At the time, he was essentially the communications
    hub for all of the Police activity in and around the building. As such
    he was deluged by information coming from different directions,
    and it's far from impossible that he would telephone-game something shouted to him from within the building. The witnesses who matter
    are the ones who actually saw the hulls in situ.

    BTW, if you look at films and photos of the TSBD in the immediate aftermath of the assassination, the windows on the second, third,
    and fourth floors were closed. Did your gunman shoot through the
    glass, then instantly replace the broken pane?
    Also, the follow-up to Brewer's citing of the "second" floor. Henslee has Brewer getting all the credit for the FU transmissions. But Bowles, in "JFK First Day Evidence" attributes the FUs to *Hill*. And he's right. Henslee has Brewer in the FU
    saying "I'll leave the witness here." (Sawyer Exh A p392). But the sender actually said, "I'll leave the WITNESSES here"--I've listened to the tape myself. And Bowles confirms "witnesses" and "22". (JFK FDE p408) And Hill had more than one witness, Tague
    & the "second window" witness. Brewer only testified he had one witness. Once again, Patrolman Hill aced out. By Henslee & Brewer, this time.
    Again, what makes Trask a expert on the DPD radio traffic? And
    why is it significant that Henslee omits a plural? All of the transcriptions
    have errors, including the best ones (e.g. Shearer's take on Channel
    1 traffic). Getting a transcription exactly correct is not an easy thing to
    do, especially when you have to wade through hours of traffic to do so. But what matters in the end is no what Trask thinks or what Bowles
    thinks, or even what's on the transcripts, but what's on the actual recordings. And if you actually listen, you'll hear that the voice behind "22" sounds exactly like the one behind "142." And the Brewer
    conversation really is between "137," a number that the dispatcher confirms in response.
    As for Haygood....

    After going back and listening, the voice of "22" on the ch 2 recording
    really does sound like the same voice as "142." Hill appears on channel
    one about 10 minutes after this, reporting his location as Industrial and
    Continental and asking whether he should go to Dealey Plaza.

    Not really. What Hill asks is, "Where do you want me?" It's the dispatcher who TELLS him to report to the "vicinity of the triple underpass". (CE 1974 p29) Kind of a difference.
    Look at the context. The dispatchers begin sending DPD officers to Dealey Plaza en masse at 12:41 on "Code 3" (ie, with sirens and lights). A number of
    units check in, some indicating that they are on the way. Others ask if they
    should go, like 77 and 113. It's not always an explicit question. For instance:

    71: 71.
    Disp: 71.
    71: Corinth and Harwood.
    Disp: Code 3.

    (Corinth and Harwood is in The Cedars, between downtown and
    the Trinity, BTW.)

    In this context, "where do you want me?" is the same as "do you want me
    to go to Elm and Houston?" It makes no sense any other way.
    The Ch
    1 Hill has a higher pitched voice than the one broadcasting to the motorcade channel.

    It's worth pointing out that, at 12:37, the only DPD officers who had any
    good idea of what happened were those in Dealey Plaza or those who were assigned to the Motorcade proper. Hill wasn't assigned to any of the
    JFK-specific details, so there is no reason for him to have been in Dealey
    Plaza to be involved in the earliest Police response to the assassination.

    Hill was preceding the motorcade throughout Dallas--he's on the radio earlier from other locations. At 12:03, for instance, he's at "Westmoreland & Ft Worth" (JFK FDE p378). There's no reason for him NOT to be in Dealey, or anywhere else.
    The intersection of Westmoreland and Ft Worth is 4 miles WSW of the closest
    point on the motorcade route, and south of the Trinity river. This itself disproves your contention that Hill was "preceding the motorcade throughout
    Dallas"
    To assert that Hill was the #22 who made the 12:37 broadcast assumes that he switches his radio to the wrong frequency

    Recall that channel one was not operational for about 4 minutes between 12:29 and 12:33. Enough reason for a patrolman to switch frequencies. And to switch back after order was restored.
    Channel 1 was indeed operational between 12:29 and 12:33. You actually hear any number of guys trying to key in, and a few actually manage to
    say something during the open-mic interval. Anyway, if the open mic on channel one would have caused officers to switch channels, we should see channel-one type radio activity on channel two at the same time as "Hill." That doesn't happen, so you're SOL here.
    tells the dispatcher that
    the TSBD needs to be sealed off, then drives away and 10 minutes he's miles
    away asking if he needed to go to Dealey Plaza. That doesn't make sense.

    You're phrasing it so that it doesn't make sense. The dispatcher TOLD Hill to go to the triple underpass area.
    As I said, in context, Hill's question doesn't make sense unless he's asking
    whether or not to go to Dealey Plaza.
    As I said, Hill was very mobile. Later, he ends up at the scene of the library sighting.
    So?
    Don't know why the 142 voice is also the 22 voice. Maybe 142 was trying
    to say 142, but keyed the mike a bit late, so all that came out was the
    last half of 142.

    That might fly, but Hill says "22" twice, so it wasn't just the keying.
    Does he say it twice, or is it just the result of an Audiograph-induced repeat?
    Maybe 142 was 22 in a previous life and was prone to
    flashbacks.
    The transcriptionist assumed from the message's content that it was
    sent by Fritz himself, but that is not the case.

    It's wise not to take any of the transcripts in the WCH as perfect verbatim.

    Since Fritz was up there early,

    He wasn`t, he went to Parkland.
    No, he didn't. Check the radio log transcriptions:

    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) What hospital did the President go to?
    Dispatcher Parkland Hospital
    Dispatcher 303, where are you?
    303 (Dets. R. M. Sims & E. L. Boyd) Parkland Hospital
    300 (Capt. John Will Fritz) 300, en route
    Dispatcher 300, are you en route to Elm and Hourson to that store?
    300 En route to the hospital.

    Then check Fritz's testimony & the Sims/Boyd report: Fritz testified, falsely (as you see, above), that he was with Sims & Boyd in the same car to Parkland. He was in a different car, supposedly en route to Parkland, while Sims & Boyd
    were already there. Sims & Boyd went to Parkland, Fritz did not.

    Use your head, Dave. If Sims and Boyd were already at Parkland Hospital,
    then they wouldn't have needed to ask what hospital the President had
    been taken to. The motorcade's presence wasn't exactly a stealth affair
    after all!
    Then the DPD & FBI didn't use their heads either. The DPD/Bowles transcription & the FBI, as you know, both included that repeat "Parkland Hospital". I'm just part of a great tradition... Or maybe there was more than one entrance to Parkland..
    .

    But the Bowles/FBI transcripts were based on inferior copies of the originals
    Michael O'Dell generated a reconstruction of the Channel 2 traffic between
    12:15 and 12:46. This was necessary because the existing Channel 2
    recordings were marred by repeated skips and repeats, a legacy of the
    Gray Audiograph recording system originally used to capture the radio
    traffic for posterity. O'Dell took the FBI phonograph copy of the Ch 2
    traffic, which is free of skips and repeats at the cost of being variable
    speed, and generated the timing for the various transmissions from it.
    He then made a reconstruction of the Ch 2 traffic using the best available
    copies of each transmission placing them time-wise using the timing he'd
    come up with. In his reconstruction, this is what the 12:40 conversation
    between the dispatcher and 303 looks like in black and white:

    303: 303
    Disp: 10-4. 12:40 [This is in response to 295's previous transmission regarding the president's wounds]
    Disp: 303
    303: What hospital did the president go to?
    Disp: Parkland Hospital
    303: 10-4
    Disp: Where are you?
    303: 300's en route
    Disp: 10-4
    Disp: Is 300 route en route to Elm and Field at that, uh, correction, Elm and Houston at that store?
    303: En route to the hospital
    Disp: 10-4

    This conversation makes more sense than the FBI version.
    Interesting, too, in that it takes Fritz right out of it. Some LN here opined that 300 himself saying "300's en route" was Fritz correcting "Parkland Hospital". Well, gee, I guess LNs can be wrong, too! (But not Corbett! Oh, no!)

    "Skips & repeats" Then I guess that the Sawyer Exhibit A (p392) was not transcribed from the same source as the later DPD & FBI transcriptions. I say that because it does not pick up "Parkland Hospital" after the "Where are you?" If so, why
    would the later transcribers use a defective recording rather than the one that the Sawyer used?

    The skips and repeats weren't created on recording, but on playback. The Gray Audiograph
    used to both record and play back channel 2 traffic was particularly cranky in this regard. The
    problem became progressively worse each time the Audiograph disk was played, since each
    playback added wear to the relatively soft celluloid of the disk. The earlier transcripts were
    made directly from the disk. The later transcripts were made from reel-to-real tape copies of
    the disks, after they had already been repeatedly played to make the earlier transcriptions. As
    the FBI put it in CE1974:

    "The [Audiograph] was purchased by the Dallas Police Department in the early 1950's. It was
    noted that these disks are badly worn from being played. In many places, the disks skip and
    portions of the messages are garbled."

    So the later transcriptions were made from a degraded form of the source used by the earlier
    transcribers. And your question, "why would the later transcribers use a defective recording
    rather than the one that the Sawyer used" is simply answered by noting that entropy is an
    inescapable presence in the physical universe. As Sting sings, "when the world is running
    down, you make the best of what's still around"
    The FBI transcriptionist may have been confused by a skip/repeat on the media he/she was using. Also, the voice saying "300's en route" is the same one as the "303" transmissions.
    The DPD (that is, CE 705) and the FBI both thought that it was "300" himself saying "300 en route" and "en route to the hospital". So it's DPD (Henslee, Sawyer Exhibits) vs DPD (Bowles, CE 705). I am reminded of the LN who thought that the
    voice on the police radio at 12:37 was the voice of Patrolman Haygood, not Patrolman Hill. But the latter ID'd himself twice at the beginning of the transmission ("22... 22").

    Henslee was working directly from the disks, and before repeated playing
    degraded the quality. He also had the advantage of listening to the radio
    chatter every day, and so would be better able to distinguish individuals
    by the sound of their voice and their speech mannerisms.

    You don't take into account possible *intentional* falsifications of the recordings.
    You haven't given anyone any good reason to need to take this into account.

    Trask still missed that "Hill's" voice sounds exactly like Haygood's, and is different from the 12:47 Hill's.

    And Haygood's call number is different from Hill's "22", which precedes the 12:37 transmission--twice, as the real "22" and as a pre-echo or whatever it's called. Maybe Hill sent Haygood's 12:35 transmission!

    Even then, what does it matter if Sawyer said "third" or "fifth?"
    Sawyer was on the sidewalk outside of the building, relying on
    what others are telling him
    Sgt. Gerald Hill, accompanied in his car by Officer James Valentine, testified that when they arrived at the depository, they went inside with Sawyer (v7p45). This would be about 12:50 or so: Hill/Valentine radioed at 12:48 that they were on their

    Sawyer testified that he exited his car in front of the TSBD no earlier than 12:34. In reality, the Martin film and Harkness' testimony indicate that Sawyer pulled to the curb about 12:36.

    Oddly, though, he didn't talk to Harkness, Haygood, Hill, Hargis, Euins, or Brennan until later. At 12:46, the dispatcher has to tell *him* that shots were said to have come from the depository.

    Sawyer said that he then spent a few minutes listening to what people had to say

    Those "people" can't have included the above six.

    about what had happened before taking a small delegation of DPD officers up the front elevator to the fourth floor.

    Yeah, sure. And one member of his party, Valentine, was assigned to the fifth (as Valentine wrote) or sixth floor. You are a trusting soul.

    He looked around the floor for a coupe of minutes, then went back down to the sidewalk in front of the building.

    Hill never actually claimed that Sawyer was with him in the TSBD during Hill's many happy adventures in the building. Hill mentions Sawyer being in front of the TSBD when Hill initially shows up

    In v7p45, Hill testifies: "And I said, 'Are you ready for us to go in and check it out?' And he said, 'Yes, let's go in and check it out.' Which means that--since Hill & Valentine didn't pull up to the building until about 12:50--that Sawyer still
    had not "checked it out" as of about 12:50. And Sawyer would not have been interested in checking it out anyway until about that time since it took him until 12:46 to hear that shooting was reported to have come from there! From the "fifth or fourth
    floor", as the dispatcher said. And Sawyer, Hill, & Valentine at least checked out the fourth & fifth floor, since the fifth floor is where Valentine was posted (although SkyThrone insists it was the sixth floor).

    dcw

    , and doesn't mentions Sawyer again until Hill had completed his TSBD World Tour '63 and exited the building. In Hill's version, Sawyer only exists outside of the building.
