Lyndon Johnson and Mac Wallace - by Joan Mellen

[Peter Lemkin]

If Darby should have sued someone it should have been Bugliosi.

In his book he said Darby could not tell the difference between a palmprint and a fingerprint.

Either that or Jay Harrison faked the evidence he gave him to analyze.

I actually was faked out on this until Pat Speer alerted me that Bugliosi was wrong. So I went back to the annex of McClellan's book and read up on it and yep, Pat was right. Bugliosi either was misinformed or he was pulling a fast one.

When I discovered this, I tried to call Darby but Dawn told me he was passed away.

Had Darby wanted to speak out about the matter, something significant, but not yet publicly known, prevented Darby from doing so - or coming forward publicly in any manner. Had any researcher tried to contact him, I doubt he'd have spoken at all. He was completely 'compromised' by the 'cover-up', and wouldn't have done a thing. He was not the first and not the last that was similarly 'silenced' - it doesn't take killing someone to shut them up. (Take, for example, when I tried to speak with January of Redbird years ago - he wouldn't be contacted.) Also, Jay Harrison did not intentionally fake the evidence he gave Darby (or any other expert) to analyze, as history will, in the end, prove (on both points), I firmly believe.
