Quote:To me, Croy claiming to have taken Tippit's gun... AND an unnamed uniformed policeman brings "a pistol" to Methodist....
Why not Croy again?
Wearing a white hat --
Nurse Lottie Thompson: "I don't believe (there were any policemen around when the ambulance attendants first brought Tippit into hospital). There was a lot of excitement running around. But the first one I remember at all was a man in a white cap. And I believe at that time they were sargeants [sic] or, weren't they?"
Possibly Croy drove to Methodist after receiving Tippit's gun from Scoggins, waited a bit until Bardin showed up and handed it off to him. He had plenty of time, but it's a stretch. Thompson's recollections are muddled and do not mesh well with either Butler's or Bardin's/Davenport's.
