David Mantik's Definitive look at the Harper Fragment

[David Josephs]

Euins isn't "unreliable" as suspected of being a paid shill or law enforcement type, or some sort of attention hog (Brennan). He was just very young and not very well educated. He didn't see "a rifle," he saw a man with a bald spot holding what looked to him like a pipe. (BTW, this description doesn't fit Oswald very well.)

He said more than that Drew... pipes don't have triggers, barrels, shoot or are called "rifles"


Mr. EUINS. Then I was standing here, and as the motorcade turned the corner, I was facing, looking dead at the building. And so I seen this pipe thing sticking out the window. I wasn't paying too much attention to it. Then when the first shot was fired, I started looking around, thinking it was a backfire. Everybody else started looking around. Then I looked up at the window, and he shot again. So--you know this fountain bench here, right around here. Well, anyway, there is a little fountain right here. I got behind this little fountain, and then he shot again.
So after he shot again, he just started looking down this, you know.
Mr. SPECTER. Who started looking down that way?
Mr. EUINS. The man in the window. I could see his hand, and I could see his other hand on the trigger, and one hand was on the barrel thing.
Mr. SPECTER. All right.

Mr. EUINS. I seen a bald spot on this man's head, trying to look out the window. He had a bald spot on his head. I was looking at the bald spot. I could see his hand, you know the rifle laying across in his hand. And I could see his hand sticking out on the trigger part. And after he got through, he just pulled it back in the window.
