"What Happened to JFK--and Why it Matters Today"

[Allan Eaglesham]

I don't know why Allan cites note 43, when I find it supported by note 42.

Familiar Faces in Dealey Plaza, page 7 . . .
http://www.jfkresearch.com/eaglesham/page7.jpg

The key paragraph reads, "In the Altgens picture showing the limousine
turning onto Houston Street, standing close to the man resembling Mr.
Hemming, is someone who looked like Lucien Conein.

Photos: A face in the crowd; L. Conein; L. Conein in 1963; Composite

When we wrote to Col. Prouty about this, he responded [42], ". . . I
noted this same photo you have found and the likeness between that
person and Lou . . . I'd say that the guy is Conein." Although later in
the letter he stated, "I make no solid claim for Conein in the Dealey
Plaza picture," he went on to say, "but I do know that many of the
Vietnam-trained, Mongoose inner circle were there."

So I suppose you could say that he made an identification of Mainman
as Lucien Conein, but qualified it as "non-solid" or tentative and fallible.
I take that to mean that he thinks that it is Conein as his first response,
but he is wants to acknowledge that, in this case, he could be mistaken.

[42] L. Fletcher Prouty, written communication, May 7, 1996

My take is that he identified Mainmain as Conein, but then qualified it.

Since Jack has demonstrated multiple respects in which Adams is NOT
a "dead ringer" for Mainman, it is simply abusive for Allan to make that
claim here. He has not even discussed, much less rebutted, Jack's proofs.

Isn't it interesting that Dr. Fetzer labels me "abusive," after his ad hominem attacks on me here? I have stated that I do not agree with Jack's analysis and that to say more would be to repeat myself.

For those looking over our shoulders and wondering why Dr. Fetzer is so upset about my sharing new information on the Conein look-alike -- yes, even after over 40 years new information can be useful -- you may find this interesting:

Dr. Fetzer made the claim, "Altgens photographs Lucien Conein in Dealey Plaza, smiling as JFK passed by." He over-reached himself then, just as he over-reaches himself now in his nastiness.

James Richards has been mentioned on this thread for his excellent follow-up on work on familiar faces in Dealey Plaza. With his permission I quote his reaction to the new information on Robert Adams at:
