The crucial hour and twenty minutes

[Gordon Gray]

I wouldn't be surprised if Reed was working for military intelligence. James Powell was the Army Intelligence guy who worked down the street at the Rio Grande building and took a picture of the TSBD thirty seconds after the assassination.

As for the physical evidence during this period, it's hard to trust any of it.

David, who is the person in the cab you're referring to who shot Tippit?

The person Whaley described as "Oswald" could not have been THE Oswald.
If Whaley did actually take someone to 500 N Beckley... I do not see how that could have been our Oswald.

Mr. BALL. Did you see whether he walked south?
Mr. WHALEY. I didn't see whether he walked north or south from there.
Mr. BALL. In other words, h[B]e walked east from your cab [/B]and that is the last time you saw him?
Mr. WHALEY. Yes, sir.


Since no one reports seeing even a suspicous man walking thru the neighborhood...
and Oswald's room was due north of this spot

I am theorizing that the person who Whaley did take, walked east and over to 10th and Patton possibly to that area's safe house where he would meet up with Tippit.
Why else would Tippit have been so careless in his approach....

There is no reason for our Oswald to have been coming EAST on 10th on the way to the theater.


IF we are to conclude that Oswald was already at the Theater.... how the murder occurs at that location... how murderer and Tippit wind up at the same place at the same time
has to be one of the greatest mysteries to unravel.

I don't see how walking east would be conclusive evidence that Oswald was not in the cab. Any one getting out of the cab and crossing the street in front of it would be walking east. If Whaley then continued driving south, he would have had to look over his shoulder behind him to see in what direction Qswald proceeded after crossing the street. Whaley's description of Oswald's bracelet is a fairly detailed and accurate observation that points to it indeed being Oswald. I have always "theorized" that the man Craig saw getting into the statin wagon was the Tippet shooter and the fact that he was seen walking west on 10th prior to reaching the intersection with Patton, leads me to think he was coming from Ruby's apt.
