Anthony Summers

[Marc Ellis]

I'm reading Summers' book now on my iPad. I'm in chapter 6, on Tippit.
Thus far, Summers seems to think Oswald was not the TSBD 6th floor shooter. At least, that's how I read it.

Even though he thinks Oswald shot Tippit, he seems to argue that would tend to make the
presence of a conspiracy more likely - rather than less. At least, that's what I'm getting.

He mentions:

1. the cop car that honked twice at Oswald's rooming house.
2. The questions about how Oswald got to Tippitt's location and where was he headed?
3. What was Tippitt doing before the shooting?
4. The unreliability of WC witnesses.
5. The mysterious man in a car that belonged to Tippet's friend.

I don't know who shot Tippet. Even if it was Oswald, that does not by itself disprove a conspiracy.
And it may tend to make the presence of a conspiracy more likely.

Here's a quote:
---
"It may be," said Andy Purdy, former senior staff counsel on the Assassinations Committee, "that Officer Tippit, by himself or with others, was involved in a conspiracy to silence Oswald. And when the attempt to kill Oswald by Tippit failed, then Jack Ruby** was a fallback."
