Billy W. Anglin (the officer assigned to patrol Harlandale) was listed as a patrolman in the same division with J. D. Tippit. I notice the name Charles W. Harrison in the same list. It is my understanding that Jay Harrison had been a friend of Tippit in Dallas and had worked in some type of police work, but I don't know if this Harrison was related to him or not.
As for Patrolman Anglin, who has been said to have been Tippit's closest friend, there are several more hits at Mary Ferrell:

In Buddy Walthers' memo found in the WCR, Vol.19. p.534, Walthers relays
information he received from his informant regarding the house at 3128
Harlendale,
"..I learned today that sometime between seven days before the President
was shot and the day after he was shot these Cubans moved from this house.
My informant stated that subject Oswald had been to this house before."
Dick Russell, author "The Man Who Knew Too Much", established that the
Harlendale house was rented for the refugees by a Manuel Orcaberro
Rodriguez. Rodriguez was cited in a Secret Service memo dated 11/24/63 by
an informant as,
"..known to be violently anti-President Kennedy.".
The report also established that Rodriguez was a serious enough threat to
the President to be placed on the Secret Service's "Protective Research"
list. The report described Rodriguez as,
"..apparently a survivor of the Bay of Pigs episode, was attempting to
purchase arms in Dallas for Alpha 66. Rodriguez is also a member of the
DRE (the Carlos Bringuier group which Silvia's sister, Sarita belonged
to).".
Of course, we know the Alpha 66 and DRE groups were the most radical and
violent of the refugee groups. In fact, as Russell points out, Rodriguez
and his group were under investigation by Frank Ellsworth of the ATF, at
the time of the assassination. The LaFontaines go into Ellsworth's
investigation in much greater detail in "Oswald Talked", establishing that
the Cubans were in the process of buying stolen armaments through Dallas
gun dealer, John Thomas Masen.
All of this was confirmed by agent Frank Ellsworth, BTW.
Masen, who was a member of the radical right-wing Minutemen, distinguished
himself in another way - as a dealer in the rather rare ammunition used in
the MC rifle, LHO is alleged to have used. This is from a 3/27/64 FBI
report, cited on p.542 of TMWKTM,
"Mr. John Thomas Masen, Owner, Masen's Gun Shot... advised he purchased
about ten boxes of 6.5mm Mannlicher-Carcano, Western Cartridge Company,
ammunition from Johnny Brinegar in early 1963 and that he sold these 10
boxes to individuals. He stated he was not able to recall the identity of
any persons to whom he sold the ammunition...".
Was Deputy Sheriff Walther's informant correct in claiming Oswald was a
visitor to the Harlendale house? Here is more from Russell's book,
"Lonnie Hudkins, the Texas-based reporter who broke the story on Oswald's
FBI ties as a sometimes informant, also knew of the Harlandale house.
'T.George Harris, the ex-senior editor of Look (magazine) and I went all
through the Little Cuba district in Dallas,' Hudkins said, 'and found
people who said Oswald and others had attended a party the Wednesday night
before the assassination at the Harlandale house."
In "Oswald Talks", Ray and Mary LaFontaine point out that Silvia Odio told
both her ex-best friend and her psychiatrist that she saw LHO several
times at gatherings of these radical Cuban refugee groups. Walther's
informant also reports Oswald was there. Lonnie Hudkins provides more
confirmation.
Should we be suspicious?
This is from a classified teletype sent from FBI headquarters in Miami to
J. Edgar Hoover shortly after the assassination. It was reported in "The
Man Who Knew Too Much", p.540 by Dick Russel,
"..Speculation on future US policy re Cuba is currently topic of
discussion among exiles. Rumors are not circuating among exile Cubans re
possible GOC (Government of Cuba) involvement in Pres Kennedy's death.
Authors these rumors not identified but it clear this being done primarily
in attempt provide strong US action against Cuba...
"A" reported hearing from "B" whose sister's husband "C" is member SNFE
(Second National Front Excambray, an offshoot of Alpha 66) that Eloy
Gutierrez Menoyo commented 21 Nov 63 that "Something very big would happen
soon that would advance Cuban cause."
