Oh my aching back.
Dorothy Kilgallen was a very experienced reporter who did a lot of work in covering controversial trials. Her record on the Sheppard case is quite interesting and commendable.
She had a proven interest in the JFK case and worked with other interested parties like Mark Lane and Thayer Waldo.
She then journeyed to New Orleans to meet with a private source. She had planned at the time of her death, two more investigatory trips, one to Dallas and one to New Orleans. Her phone lines she felt were bugged by the FBI, so she went ahead and called Lane via pay phones.
She actually did have an outlet of 185 papers in syndication that she was communicating her doubts about on the JFK case.
How on earth does any of that compare to Mary M? Mary was an art student. And one of the worst parts of Janney's confection is when he tries to turn her into Vince Salandria. In fact, that part is a bit ludicrous. Actually novelistic.
You don't have to make any of that up with Kilgallen.
And if Janney is afraid of being sued by Mitchell, maybe he should have never done what he did in the first place?
I note, now he does not even mention the conversation he had with him at his doorstep? He says his maid or someone encountered him at a the door?
Talk about overplaying your hand.
BTW, he never replied to my critique of his book. Although he implies he did.
