From part IV, "Byrds, Planes and a Rambler" (w/citations quoted)
"Weston writes, "The electrical power for the whole building and even the telephone stopped working about five minutes prior to the assassination...."

From William Weston, "Collaborators of the Conspiracy", The Third Decade, Nov., 1992, pp 5-11.
303. "Warren Commission Hearings, Vol. 6, pp. 391, 395, 396, cited in Weston, p. 11. Note: It was pointed out in the March 1993 Third Decade (pp. 22-23) that the testimony cited by Weston referring to "lights all went out and phones became dead" has two different interpretations. While that is true, there is ample evidence that commission attorneys altered testimony and chose language very carefully. Weston believes "that the Warren Commission was trying to avoid the subject." In a cover-up, this matter would be a prime target for obfuscation."
304. "Weston, p.11" (line 16 & 17)

How reliable is Weston's report of the power & phones going out at around 12:25?
Is it an 'agreed-upon' fact, like 544 Camp Street having been stamped on FPFC leaflets by Oswald? If so, It seems of huge importance. But I can't find much about it in the literature. I went to Weston's book at Mary Ferrell. But it refers to a footnote 40 that I can't reach in the on-line edition.
