Did Captain Westbrook Watch Tippit's Murder?

[Jim Hargrove]

She never at any time said that there were two Oswalds.

Did you expect her to say "There were two Oswalds?" Only a few of us are brave or foolish enough to say that.

But she apparently did tell the HSCA that someone was impersonating Oswald at her office, which is the way a sane person might say, "There were two Oswalds." Here is a clearer copy of the HSCA interview summary, with my highlighting.



It even describes the differences between the Two Oswalds. Russian-speaking Harvey was quiet, withdrawn, proper. American-born Lee was loud, inclined.. uh... to contract social diseases, apparently a serious drinker. Look at her descriptions. If that isn't describing the Terrible Twosome, what is good enough for you?

Laura Kittrell, by the way, was the daughter of Bill Kittrell, former secretary of the Texas Democratic Party. Her recollection of the Murray Chotiner references deserves an article of its own. From Harvey and Lee, p. 717:

NOTE: Attorney Murray Chotiner was virtually unknown outside of California in

1963. On October 7, 1955 Lee Harvey Oswald delivered a note to Warren Easton High

School that was found in Oswald's school file after the assassination. The note read,

"Becaus (sic) we are moving to San Diego in the middle of this month Lee must quit school

now. Also, please send by him any papers such as his birth certificate that you may have.

Thank you. Sincirely (sic) ..... Mrs. M. Oswald. "42 If Harvey Oswald moved to Califor*-

nia in 1955, it could explain how he knew about Chotiner.
