NOV.01..1965 : Telephone conversation between David Lifton and the

James WILLIAM ALTGENS," Ike"......

He was friendly on the phone and mentioned quite casually that just before the
motorcade came by, a number of people suddenly appeared behind the wall on the knoll. (84) He added that he thought it was an odd place to watch the parade
from since the car would speed up right there as it entered the Stemmons
Freeway. This was new, exciting information, but I was worried that Altgens
might be confusing this recollection with his description of people on the
overpass, which was mentioned in his Warren Commission testimony. But he
assured me he was talking about the wall on the grassy knoll--to the right of
the stairs when one faced the knoll.
When I asked Altgens if there were any police among the "people" he saw, he
replied, "I seem to remember that there were. (85)
