I can verfy that Oswald was not considered a suspect by the police in the General Walker shooting at around the time that it happened, April 10, 1963. That was a few days before I left for Atlantic City to give my research paper at the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) and the Walker shooting had been noted in our New Orleans newspapers. It was only after the assassination of President Kennedy that Oswald's name was attached to that shooting. If I recall correctly, General Walker himself did not think it had been Oswald, until maybe some longer time later, but initially no. I believe it was first published in a German newspaper.
However, on the evening of April 22, 1963, at Blackie's House of Beef restaurant in Washington, D.C., Jose A. Rivera, Science Administrator at the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness (NINDB) of NIH, mentioned to me that "They think Oswald did it." Some hours before while he and I had waited to be seated, he had asked me if I knew "Lee Oswald" (to which I replied that I did not), and then Rivera proceeded to tell me that Oswald had been to the Soviet Union; was married to a Russian woman and they had a child; and were now living in Dallas, but would be coming to live in New Orleans. He also added that I should get to know them because "they were a lovely couple."
As a result of this information, I was very much alerted to Oswald's possible connection to the Walker shooting, and was surprised that such a connection was made after the assassination. I rather had doubted that Oswald had shot at Walker and it soon became apparent that witnesses described two men being present at the scene ot Walker's home, as Phil described above. And, with everything else that Rivera had said about Oswald, I had begun thinking that he was being set up to be blamed (and he had been, as we now know).

Quote:The comments of Volkmar Schmidt seem to stipulate that Lee shot at Walker. That cannot be true. Two men left in two cars, the evidentiary bullet was switched (which QUOTE]angered Walker), the police did not consider Oswald a suspect until Marina fingered him--after he was dead I believe.
