Did Captain Westbrook Watch Tippit's Murder?
#14
Correct me if you can, but not one single witness has ever claimed to see two different people firing at Tippit. The same two brands of bullets, casings of which were found at 10th and Patton in various ways, were retrieved from the guy arrested at the Texas Theater.

The ballistics evidence connecting the arrest revolver to Tippit's death may not be perfect, but it isn't terrible either, is it? What is terrible is the so-called evidence showing anyone named "Oswald" or "Hidell" purchased the damn thing in the first place. John's short write-up on the Seaport Trader's b.s. is here: harveyandlee.net/Guns/Pistol.html. If anything, that evidence is even worse than the Kleins rifle b.s.

If this is the best the mighty WC could do to show our boy bought that revolver, it does beg for SPECULATION about just how he came to have it, no? Strikes me as a pretty good guess that the Oswald in the white shirt who John believes shot Tippit was tasked to somehow get the evidence into the hands of the Oswald in the brown shirt already sitting in the theater trying to locate a contact. If so, the hand-off must have included a damned good story, under the circumstances. (John wrote, "But why would HARVEY accept the weapon? Orders. Perhaps he was told that it was his job to get rid of the weapon; perhaps he was told to give it to another person.)

If John is right, both Oswalds had been agents for many years, and both were well accustomed to following orders.
