JVB vs Scott Kaiser

[David Josephs]

On Aug. 31, Lee drove Judyth up to Jackson in an old Kaiser, a car he borrowed from Guy Banister who parked it several blocks from his office and used it for his agents to drop off information and materials without coming to his office. That is the car that the barber saw in front of his barber shop with a woman sitting in the front seat and a baby carriage in the back seat. During the hair cut, the barber gave Lee the name of the state representative in Jackson, Reeves Morgan. Lee then drove to Morgan's house where his daughter Mary also saw the old car with a woman sitting in the front seat.

I find it is usually best to go to the original evidence, authenticate it, and then see what it says....

The HSCA deposed Edwin McGehee 1/19/78, owner of the barber shop in question... They say he said:

1. A woman in an old battered car had DRIVEN UP about the same time as Oswald arrived...
   
2. The woman was driving the car
   
3. The woman MAY have been going to the "washeteria" next door
   
4. He did NOT see Oswald gettingout of that car
   
5. He referred Oswald to Morgan
   
6. A big black car pulled away shortly after Oswald left
   

McGehee also testified at the Shaw Trial: He failed to offer corroboration for anything he said since he was alone, he tells us the car passed his shop with only the back end visible yet is able to recount a woman in the front seat (driver or passenger we do not know) and that there was a bassinet in the back seat. We are expected to believe that Lee and Judyth carry a bassinet with them to this car without a child, and drive to Jackson some 120 miles away in a "old car, real old car" that Bannister kept around as a dropbox. He fails to connect Oswald with this vehicle and also fails to mention the BIG BLACK CAR (as was seen driven by Shaw with Ferrie) which pulled away shortly after Oswald left.

Q: Now, at the time that Lee Harvey Oswald was in your barber shop, was anyone present besides yourself?
A: No.

Q: Were you able to see, Mr. McGehee, how Oswald came to the shop, whether he --
A: The door was open and I noticed this car drive up. It passed the door a little ways, not too far, where the back end was just a little past the shop, and I did not see the man get out, and the next thing I noticed, there was nobody on the street hardly, not anybody, as a matter of fact, and this man walked in the shop.
Q: Could you describe the car for us at all?
A: Yes, the car was -- it was an old car, it was battered, it was a dark colored car -- it might have been dark green -- but the make of it I just couldn't remember, it was an old car, real old.
Q: Now, Mr. McGehee, to the best of your recollection and knowledge, was there anyone else in that car?
A: Yes.
Q: Can you describe that person?
A: There was a woman sitting on the front seat -- this is after the man was getting a haircut I glanced at the car -- and in the back seat what I noticed was -- looked like a bassinet.
Q: A baby bassinet?
A: Right.
Q: Now, Mr. McGehee, had Oswald entered the shop before this car pulled up?
A: No, after.
Q: Did you ever see that car leave in front of the shop?
A: It eventually left after he left; I didn't notice if he got in the car, I didn't pay any attention.
Q: Well, approximately how long after he left the shop did the car leave?
A: Right away. I noticed -- I heard it pull off, I didn't pay no attention to it, it was gone



The HSCA also deposed Reeves Morgan after he had testified at the Shaw Trial:

Q: Mr. Morgan, did you get a look at the automobile in which he arrived?
A: No, sir, sure didn't.
Q: You didn't see it at all? A: Didn't see it -- period. I didn't go no further than the door to let him
in when he knocked, and when he left I didn't go any further than the door

How exactly can his daughter see the car and passenger ALSO when in his HSCA deposition he is reported as recalling:
"Unfortunately, Mr. Morgan or his daughter, who was present at the time, did not see the car or possible driver."

He goes on to tell us via the Interview summary that he called the FBI and told them about his encounter. "However, no one came to interview him"

The FBI was only interested in the type of Jacket Oswald was wearing.
=====================================================

Let's now add the deposition of H.E. Palmer in Clinton who recalls a "late model black cadillac" pull up and drops off a man he learned in late Nov was Lee Oswald.
Mr. Palmer also identifies Clay Shaw as being behind the wheel of said cadillac. And identified a photo of Ferrie as being the other man in the car.

It was Morgan & McGehee who suggests to Oswald that being a registered voter would not hurt his chances of getting hired - Clinton, LA is where he went to register.
The deposition summary of Palmer, Morgan and McGehee connects Oswald to Shaw to the black cadillac to trips to Jackson, then to Clinton and then back to Jackson.

The mystery woman driving the old car with a bassinet in the back has not ever been connected to LEE OSWALD all the while HARVEY is in New Orleans with his wife and child at 4907 Magazine.
Much like Clinton, Shaw parks the cadillac away from Oswald's destination, having him walk the final distance... McGehee basically tells us that Oswald just appears...

He is not asked if he recognizes the "old car" or whether by stating the woman was "in the front seat" if she was driving - he only finally says so in his HSCA deposition.
Judyth does not state she drove this old car...

It appears to those who actually take the time to look at the source documents that Judyth was neither with this man claiming to be LEE OSWALD or with HARVEY, who is married to Marina.
As we've said before, if Judyth was on the inside, and LEE was incriminating HARVEY AND she knows LEE, it could explain why no reports mention her - the man playing the part of LEE was a CIA ghost - which winds up being much more nefarious than we imagined. Reilly Coffee was across the street from where Osborne orders, pays for and picks up 1000 FPCC flyers (Osborne is the name the WCR gives to the man sitting next to Oswald on his trip to Mexico)

What we know for sure is that a man claiming to be LEE OSWALD and a man claiming to be LEE HARVEY OSWALD were both in NOLA in and around 544 Camp, Barrister and his Anti-Commie/Castro cronies... and no one with any authenticity corroborates JVB's story. Connecting unconnected evidence and stretching what the evidence actually says is no way to prove a point.

Copies of the HSCA deposition pages are found on the CD that accompanies Harvey and Lee. Here are a couple referred to above:
