Lyndon Johnson and Mac Wallace - by Joan Mellen

[Tom Bowden]

I wonder IF there are really tapes? And if so where? I know that Henry Marshall was convinced, and his "suicide" was insane. Tx Ranger Clint Peoples was equally convinced.
In my opinion Wallace killed people for LBJ.

I know the tapes from the sixties did not exist. BSE had a TI engineer design a telephone system for his home and office. This system allowed him to answer the phone in either place. I have the memo concerning that system and there is no mention of recordings. In addition, BSE and Kyle Brown consistently called them cassettes. Brown supposedly had possession of them at age 18. I asked Brown on tape what size the tapes were. He indicated they were cassette size. When I told him the cassette was not available at the time and reel to reel was. He immediately changed his story to reels. He is not truthful.

I have BSE's personal telephone list from 1961. There are more phone numbers listed for Ralph Yarbrough than Johnson. I also have his telephone logs from those years.

Are you aware Clint Peoples was writing a book about the assassination at the time of his death? His former secretary would not give me a copy of it. SHe was afraid of consequences. In his testimony before the grand jury, he was not really supportive of BSE's claims on the Kennedy assassination. The grand jury was convened to fulfill a promise the DA had made to the Marshall Family. His only interest was to change the death certificate from suicide to homicide. I discussed with him my belief that BSE or his brother was at the murder and he was not interested in pursuing it.

BTW I can understand Jay's reluctance to give out Nathan's name. I have seen too many instances of conspiracy believers bothering the hell out of witnesses without regard for their privacy and in many times going beyond common courtesy.
