Detailed discussion and analysis of the H&L evidence

[David Josephs]

Many thanks David for your prompt reply, I appreciate it. Yes indeed, this is very helpful and equally interesting. I am still digesting it.

Another thing, this lady cashier in the Texas Theater, Julia Postal - I searched her name on MFF's WC document but I did not quite get what I wanted. Is the claim that Harvey purchased a ticket from her prior to entering the cinema, and quite possibly before or at the same time when Tippit was murdered (not surprised if this claim is excluded from the WC report) ... is this claim based upon her breaking down and sobbing, twice refusing to answer the question put to her whether Harvey bought a ticket from her at or around 13:07/13:08? Or did she confirm this elsewhere? In my opinion, for what it is worth, if the answer is only the former then so be it. She could have just said no and why get upset about it? Unless of course, it was true Harvey did purchase a ticket previous to Lee's later arrival and she could not say under duress? Then her behaviour makes sense. Poor woman - I hope she was not bumped off too.

Correct Duncan... it was inferred, not said... and then somewhat corroborated by Burroughs... Johnny Brewer and his IBM friends in the store at the time is an interesting story as well....

We also have Butch seeing the 2nd "Oswald" arrested and taken out the back hen Bernard Haire sees them take this "Oswald" away, believing this person was Oswald and not knowing who they took out the front. Add in now the DPD reports of an arrest of Oswald from thebalcony and there is enough to make the Theater scene and Brewer and Julia, as well as "We have our man on both counts" DPD comment very suspect.

Looking into who Stringfellow was and his connection to Military Intelligence will also provide some great food for thought...

Mr. BALL. What did you see him do after became around the corner?
Mrs. POSTAL. Well, I didn't actually----because I stepped out of the box office and went to the front and was facing west. I was right at the box office facing west, because I thought .the police were stopping up quite a ways. Well, just as I turned around then Johnny Brewer was standing there and he asked me if the fellow that ducked in bought a ticket, and I said, "No; by golly, he didn't," and turned around expecting to see him.

Researcher Jones Harris interviewed Julia Postal in 1963. When Harris asked
Julia Postal if she had sold a ticket to "Oswald" (the man arrested), she burst
into tears and left the room. A short time later Harris again asked Postal if
she sold a ticket to "Oswald" and got the same response. From Postal's refusal
to answer this question and her reaction to same, Harris believes that Postal
did sell "Oswald" a theater ticket. On February 29, 1964 Postal told FBI Agent
Arthur Carter "she was unable to recall whether or not he bought a ticket." (A
few months later, when the Warren Report was issued, Postal's memory had
improved. She was now certain the man did not buy a ticket. See page 178 of the
report.)
Butch Burroughs, an employee of the Texas Theater, heard someone enter the
theater shortly after 1:00 PM and go to the balcony. Harvey Oswald had
apparently entered the theater and gone to the balcony without being seen by
Burroughs. About 1:15 PM Harvey came down from the balcony and bought popcorn
from Burroughs. Burroughs watched him walk down the aisle and take a seat on the
main floor. He sat next to Jack Davis during the opening credits of the first
movie, several minutes before 1:20 PM. Harvey then moved across the aisle and
sat next to another man. A few minutes later Davis noticed he moved again and
sat next to a pregnant woman. Just before the police arrived, the pregnant woman
went to the balcony and was never seen again. In addition to Harvey there were
seven people watching the movie on the main level (six after the pregnant woman
left). Within 10 minutes, he had sat next to half of them.
