Burroughs Saw Two Oswalds Arrested at Texas Theater

[Tom Bowden]

I worked with the Committee to restore the Texas Theater in 1993. In fact, I lived in the Texas Theater for six months. During that time I was in daily contact with Butch and his wife as they were part of the restoration effort. In all of our conversations, Butch never mentioned the second arrest. I would also comment that I knew James Douglas, while at the museum and we sold his pamphlet on prisons. He is the most thorough researcher I have known. We discussed Ruth Paine extensively since she and James' wife (I recall it as his wife) worked together in Central America. Therefore, I believe James was quoting Butch accurately. Butch had talked to so many researchers over years and probably recalled the incident based on conversations not on his memory.
