It could just be mislabeled. Maybe Robert Oswald. Or just maybe an interview about Oswald.

Interview with Oswald by Bob Buras and Lt. Francis Martello - 1978 -
Just received an HSCA interview with New Orleans FBI clerk William Walter who claimed in 1968 that while working the night shift on November 17, 1963 he received a teletype stating that there would be an assassination attempt in Dallas. This is an excerpt. I`m wondering if the HSCA talked to the colleagues Walter claim know that he did not make up this claim.

Another rare tape! WC attorney Burt W. Griffin reads the memos he wrote about the serious issues that happened when he took Dallas Police sergeant Patrick Dean. This is a 1964 recording from the Warren Commission files. Griffin did not believe Dean that Ruby had told him that he had considered on 11/22 killing LHO.

All great questions, Larry. We received the tapes this morning. Alex Harris is very busy uploading all of them. Audio from November 22 through December 12, at least. About 200 individual audio all in all. He’ll eventually upload the recordings of the Russian embassy.

They were found by Alex Harris and I assisted him in obtaining them. Some are of November 22, 1963, but many of December 1963 will be posted first. So you will need to be patient. Alex indicates the date in each video he'll be posting. We don't know yet if there is any of Lee's visit.

The Babushka Lady used a still-picture camera, so forget about a film.

Thank you for sharing that correspondence with Gary Mack and for the article! That's the first real, solid info I've seen on the incident! I've read maybe two or three accounts in different books or forum posts but without solid corroboration you kinda have to take everything with a grain of salt.
To me, these eyewitness accounts and the newspaper article pretty much proves that it did happen, whether it's implications were sinister or innocent.
I agree 100. It looks like Laird chased the boy to get his picture. I doubt he was hurt that much since he already left.

The story was not published in America. But it was in Toronto, Canada.

Thank you!
One thing I found peculiar is that none of them mentioned something I've seen only a time or two in assassination literature.
I can't remember what area it was, maybe lemon or turtle creek or something like that, but supposedly there was a small incident where someone approached the limo and was shouting something and some took this later (in light of the events to unfold) to be the man trying to warn the president. Seems like some of the things I read said that a secret service agent tackled the guy or just grabbed him and pushed him back out of the way.
That was an incident witnessed by DMN photographer Joe Laird on Main Street. The story died on November 22, 1963 and I revived in 2000. I had Gary Mack working on it in 1991.
Denis -From an unpublished account by Laird a few weeks after the assassination:He was at the sw corner of Main & Harwood with UPI photographer DaryllHeikes (the Museum has Heikes' original negatives.) They ran along with thelimo but "were unable to keep pace."About three blocks from there, he heard "someone to my right, shouting "SLOWDOWN, WAIT, STOP! It distracted me, causing me to run into the rear of amotorcycle."He wrote that an SS agent on LBJ's car "dismounted and shove a young manhead first to the pavement." After the motorcade passed, he "was unable tolocate the person I'd seen dumped so forceably."That's all he wrote, but now we know where it happened. Youngblood was theonly SS man in LBJ's car, but there were three other SS men in the carbehind. One of them must have been the one who tackled the guy.Sorry, I can't send you what Laird wrote, but it will probably be publishedsoon, and I'll let you know when it happens.Gary-----Original Message-----From: Gary MackSent: Thursday, December 28, 2000 1:08 PMTo: 'Denis Morissette'Cc: Gary MackSubject: RE: Did a boy try to warn JFK that he would be killed?Denis -I've never heard this story, but am sending it to a reporter friend at TheDallas Morning News. I'll let you know what happens. Laird, by the way, isretired but still an active part-time photographer for the News. As Irecall, he was on the south side of Main near Harwood, which means the youthwas running west from there along the north side of Main.I think the Toronto reporter made an improper assumption that he might havehad advance knowledge of the assassination. First, why would a "youth," aterm usually used for teens or early 20's people, know anything about such aplot? Second, the youth could have had any number of other, less sinister,reasons for wanting the President to stop. Third, he certainly could havebeen some kind of nut with a Kennedy obsession.The News photographer Laird referred to was Walt Sisco, who shot the classiccolor motorcade photo we have in our exhibit and visitors center. It's theone from an upper floor on the passenger side and shows motorcycle officerBobby Hargis just to the left of the car. Sisco, who's been dead since the60's, shot three quick stills. The others no longer exist and the negativeof the remaining picture is also lost.But it's an interesting story and I'm going to pursue it. Thanks forsending it!Gary-----Original Message-----From: Denis Morissette [mailto:denismorissette@yahoo.com]Sent: Thursday, December 28, 2000 12:40 PMTo: Gary MackSubject: Did a boy try to warn JFK that he would be killed?Hello Gary,I came across an interesting article published in theToronto Star on November 25, 1963.

Wow Denis! That's a massive collection, could easily cost me a lot of money!
Too dangerous though, my other half is still giving me grief for spending a grand on the W.C. set.
Sell it and buy my set. 😂

Rickerby?
Yes. His first one, I think.

I still a few to order. What is unfortunate is that they don’t know what the tapes contain. They do have a listing, but it often doesn’t match the content. They don’t have the interest in finding out since they specialize in non-JFK material. One could propose to volunteer to make a new inventory of their material, but the vast majority of people are too lazy or expect to be paid.

The Hargis audio is of very good quality. But the others I got are excellent.

Thanks, Denis. Is the Hargis/Penn Jones interview available online?
Regards, Pat
Not available online. I had to pay $50 for it from Baylor University.

The camera used by the Babushka Lady is a still-picture camera as shown in an Allen photo. The original Allen negatives that were lost for nearly 50 years were found again. I received a copy of the original negative a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, even though the image is clearer, the definition of the copy I received is not very high, so I was unable to see more details than the copies that circulate on the web.

It was great in the last few days to hear for the first time the voice of witness Richard Carr who witnessed the assassination from the Old Red Court Building. It’s an interview made on the same day as his testimony at the Clay Shaw trial. I also had the chance to listen to an interview with Phil Willis and his wife also made on the day of their testimony. Other audios I have heard: S.M. Holland's interview with a French documentary. I'm pretty sure it is the same team that produced the documentary below. Also, a Penn Jones interview with Bobby Hargis, probably 1968. I prefer the earliest interviews.

Many years ago I made a video with a few friends proving Oliver is not the BL.
New Audio Material on my Way!
in JFK Assassination Debate
Posted
I received my tapes today. Sounds like the « Oswald interview” is a phone conversation between Martello and an HSCA employee who is writing down a list of questions he has about Oswald. Maybe he wants the HSCA to investigate those questions. Nothing significant. The problem with some of those tapes is that not all the persons heard in those tapes are named, no date is given or the reasons for the recordings are given.
