Recovered history: Top kennedy military aide says lbj was badly shaken after assassination

[Dawn Meredith]

Fabricatd by whom? By "story" do you mean the fingerprint evidece itself, or the notion that LBJ carried out the hit?

Fabricated by order of the same Facilitators who ordered the false sponsoring of so many individuals and groups.

By "story" I was referencing the break-in, but the word just as accurately describes the Wallace business.

Am I to assume that you consider the fingerprint match of no value? A fraud? A set-up to throw suspicion on LBJ?

At this point in time, yes to all three queries.

I cannot see this as a set up because no-one could have foreseen the efforts that went into obtaining the latent print, the known Wallace prints (not available since) or an expert. Especially an expert, two actually, who would indeed find a match.

How long after the fact did the Wallace story and the "corroborating" print
surface?

I am not sure I understand the question? The latent print was known to be there from the start. The known prints of Wallace were obtained 25 years after his death. I was told by Jay that this was the law in Tx. To obtain prints from the Dept of Public Safety it had to be 25 years after the defendant was deceased. I am not certain just how Jay obtained the prints but I have an idea. The Wallace story regarding him being a hired hitman for LBJ has been around a long time. And with each murder that Wallace allegedly committed the story grew- several books reference this matter. It first came to my attention in the self- published work of Glen Sample and Mark Collum "The Men on the Sixth Floor". Wallace died in 71 so Jay would not have been able to obtain the print (from Wallace's murder conviction of John Kinsner) until 1996. From there he located Darby and presented the prints as "a personal matter". Darby later told me he believed it to be a family matter of Jay's. Jay also presented the prints to another examiner in the area who also made a match but after learning that it was Mac Wallace refused to be paid for his work and did not want to be involved in any fashion, fearing for his life.

I too am troubled by all of this, in term of its potentil value to the case...always have been. But Nathan Darby was an honest man. Someone DID enter his home taking the Wallace file. And he did make the match.
Ask Richard Bartholomew. The two of them sat in my living room back in 10/03 with Nathan showing us and it was very clear. (Richard had a good copy of the prints for Nathan to again compare, his file having never turned up. )

But I agree that the entire matter could easily be a side show, just one more rabbit hole. I have always known that my friendship with all the parties in this research could also cloud my own objectivity.
