Oswald questions

[Jim Hargrove]

John Armstrong's analysis of the events immediately after the assassination is the only one that ever made sense to me. John said he examined DPD reports and concluded that Tippit was the only Dallas cop in the vicinity of the Beckley boarding house around 1 pm, so.... when Harvey failed to get off the bus at the Gloco station where Tippit was waiting for him, Tippit may have driven on to the boarding house, honked, and then carted Harvey to the narrow alley behind the Texas Theater, where Harvey could get out and enter the theater virtually unseen on Jefferson. In the theater, Harvey begins sitting next to one patron after another, obviously looking for a "contact."

Soon afterward, Lee Oswald is walking west on Patton and then west on E. 10th St. (Jack Ruby's apartment is just two or three blocks away, and LEE may have had an apartment nearby.) Tippit is nearing Lee's position, and they soon meet, and Lee's final act in framing Harvey begins. He murders Tippit, and then begins his conspicuous walk to the theater so as to lead police there. To make sure his is noticed, he runs by Julia Postal without buying a ticket and races up to the balcony. Police, with "Lee Harvey Oswald's" Texas drivers license in hand, arrive at the theater and arrest Harvey on the main floor as Lee is led out from the balcony to the back exit of the theater, where he is seen by several witnesses.
