HI J. RAYMOND, THANKS FOR RESPONDING. WHILE I DON'T THINK WHALEY WAS LYING I KNOW THAT HE CHANGED HIS TESTIMONY { OR HAD IT CHANGED FOR HIM } ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS. EX. FROM " RUSH TO JUDGEMENT ' MARK LANE SAYS, ON PAGE 168, {QUOTE }; IN HIS AFFIDAVIT OF NOVEMBER 23, MOREOVER, WHALEY HAD STATED THAT HIS FARE ' GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND WALKED IN FRONT OF THE CAB AT AN ANGLE SOUTH ON BECKLEY STREET.' OSWALD'S ROOMING HOUSE WAS NORTH, AND THE COMMISSION HAD IT THAT OSWALD WALKED DIRECTLY THERE. IT IS INTERESTING THEREFORE THAT WHEN WHALEY TESTIFIED ON MARCH 12, HE SAID THAT HIS PASSENGER ' WENT AROUND IN FRONT, YES SIR; CROSSED THE STREET... I DIDN'T SEE WHETHER HE WALKED NORTH OR SOUTH FROM THERE.' WHALEY AGAIN, ON PAGE 166, [ QUOTE ] ' THAT IS WHAT I TOLD YOU I NOTICED. I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE SHIRT BEING OPEN, HE HAD ON THE TWO JACKETS WITH THE OPEN SHIRT... HE HAD THIS COAT HERE ON OVER THAT OTHER JACKET, I AM SURE , SIR.' QUOTE SAME PAGE FROM LANE; ' WHALEY WOULD APPEAR TO HAVE DECIDED THAT OSWALD HAD BEEN WEARING BOTH JACKETS AT ONCE, BUT THE COMMISSION CONCEDED THAT THE TAXIE DRIVER WAS IN ERROR NO MATTER WHICH JACKET HE CHOSE. WHALEY TESTIFIED THAT OSWALD WAS WEARING EITHER THE GRAY ZIPPED JACKET OR THE HEAVY BLUE JACKET. HE WAS IN ERROR, HOWEVER. OSWALD COULD NOT POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN WEARING THE BLUE JACKET DURING THE TRIP WITH WHALEY, SINCE IT WAS FOUND IN THE ' DOMINO ' ROOM OF THE DEPOSITORY LATE IN NOVEMBER.' AS TO THE GRAY JACKET, THE COMMISSION SAID THAT OSWALD PICKED IT UP AT HIS ROOMING HOUSE AFTER LEAVING WHALEY'S CAB.' [ END QUOTE ] AS TO THE ID BRACELET, THEY WERE PRETTY COMMON BACK THEN. I WAS IN THE FIFTH GRADE LIVING IN LANCASTER, ABOUT 14 MILES SOUTH OF DOWNTOWN DALLAS. SEVERAL BOYS IN MY CLASS HAD THEM. THEY COULD BE PURCHASED AT ' DIME ' STORES FOR ABOUT 3.00 DOLLARS AND ENGRAVED FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE. SOME VARITIES HAD A HASP WHICH COULD BE LIFTED TO PLACE A PICTURE OF YOUR GIRLFRIEND INSIDE. KIND OF LIKE A GIRL'S LOCKET WOULD FUNCTION. HOW WOULD WHALEY KNOW OSWALD EVEN OWNED A BLUE JACKET SINCE THERE WAS NO WAY HE SEEN OSWALD WEARING IT. I BELIEVE HE WAS COACHED. AND WAS ALSO COACHED ABOUT THE BRACLET. SO ONE CAN BELIEVE ONE THING OR ANOTHER [ AND I CAN SEE YOUR POINT ] ABOUT THE BLINK BLINK. IF THE MAN HAD ON ANY JACKET THE SLEEVE WOULD HAVE COVERED THE BRACELET PART OF THE TIME AND WHALEY MIGHT HAVE INDICATED THAT HE COULD SEE A BRACELET STICKING OUT UNDER THE JACKET SLEEVE. BUT HE DID NOT. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THIS GUY WAS OSWALD. BUT OF COURSE I DON'T KNOW WHO HE WAS. TO GARY MACK, HELLO. I MAKE THE SAME BASIC KIND OF ARGUMENT ABOVE CONCERNING WHALEY'S FARE WALKING SOUTH OR NORTH AFTER EXITING THE CAB. DEPENDS ON WHICH STATEMENT YOU BELIEVE. TO LEE FOREMAN; HI LEE, I READ THE OTHER NITE ON THIS FORUM SOMEWHERE THAT THE FELLOW YOU SPEAK OF RUNNING TOWARD PACIFIC WAS IDENTIFIED. ANYONE REMEMBER WHAT THREAD THIS WAS ON? JIM FEEMSTER

Hello Jim, I suggest that the one witness who identified Lee Oswald at lineups that weekend who deserves to be considered reliable is Whaley the cab driver. Whaley is the only lineup witness who had a conversation with him. They discussed Lee's bracelet, and Whaley had a special interest in bracelets as I recall his testimony. Lee sat in the front seat of the Taxi, so that Whaley had a good opportunity to get a good close-up look at him, in contrast to the Tippit witnesses who saw a man in the distance and/or only for a brief few moments while those witnesses were in a state close to shock. I would be interested to know why you question Whaley's relibility. I acknowledge that Whaley was thoroughly confused about Lee's clothing and that the lineups were grossly unfair. Whaley himself is an important witness to this fact. Indeed, one could argue that his statement about the unfairness of the lineup only bolsters his credibility, while I doubt if I would be any better at recalling what my son wore yesterday, even though we were both home for President's Day virtually all day. To sustain your thesis I think you have to establish that Whaley was deliberately lying.

THIS THREAD STARTS HERE; THE CAB DRIVER TURNS LEFT ON S. BECKLEY PASSES OSWALD'S ROOMING HOUSE, THE PASSENGER DIRECTS THE CABBY TO THE CORNER OF S.BECKLEY AND NEELY AND SAYS, " OK. LET ME OUT HERE". NOW THE CABBY TESTIFIES THAT HIS PASSENGER GIVES HIM A DOLLAR FOR THE .95 CENT FARE AND SAYS KEEP THE CHANGE, EXITS THE CAB, CROSSES AROUND THE FRONT OF THE CAB ACROSS S. BECKLEY AND IS LAST SEEN WALKING SOUTH TOWARDS JEFFERSON, 10 TH. ST., PATTON, { TAKE YOUR PICK }. WHERE THIS " CAB RIDE MAN " GOT OUT OF THE CAB IS APPROX. 5 LONG RESIDENTIAL BLOCKS SOUTH FROM 1026 S. BECKLEY, THIS WOULD PUT HIM ABOUT 1/4 TO 1/3 OF THE WAY TO THE TIPPIT KILLING SITE AT 10 TH & PATTON WEARING CLOTHING NEAR TO THE DESCRIPTION THE POLICE HAD ANNOUNCED OVER THE RADIO . ACCORDING TO THE CABBY'S SOMEWHAT PUZZLED DESCRIPTION WHICH AS I REMEMBER WAS GIVEN THE NEXT DAY HIS CLOTHING DESCRIPTION WAS CLOSE ENOUGH FOR THE WC. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS " CAB RIDE MAN " WAS OSWALD. MAYBE HE JUST LIKED TO TAKE CAB RIDES UNTIL HIS MONEY RAN OUT AND THEN LIKED TO JUST GO WALKING AROUND FOR AWHILE. IF HE WASN'T OSWALD, HE IS THE ONLY PERSON THAT WAS WITNESSED WALKING IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE TIPPIT KILLING. IF HE WAS INVOLVED IN LEADING THE COPS TO THE TEXAS THEATER HE WOULD HAVE ARRIVED AT THE TIPPIT SCENE AT JUST ABOUT THE REAL TIME OF THE TIPPIT MURDER AND OSWALD { IF HE DID WALK FROM THE BUS STOP NORTH OF HIS ROOMING HOUSE TO THE TEXAS THEATER } COULD HAVE BEEN IN PLACE IN TIME TO BE CAPTURED AS HE WAS. ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEAS, OPINIONS, OR FACTS? JIM FEEMSTER { NOT ANOTHER LONE NUTTER }

undefined YHANKS FOR RESPONDING, GUYS. MARCEL GREAT WEB SITE AND PIC COMPARISONS. THE BOSCH PHOTOS ARE INDEED CLOSE. FILIPE, I MADE A MISTAKE. IN THE FILM I WAS THINKING OF THE " DCM " WALKS PAST OSWALD AS HE IS HANDING OUT HIS HANDBILLS TO PASSERSBY. HOWEVER, THIS SCENE TAKES PLACE ON THE CORNER OF TWO STREETS AS THERE CAN BE SEEN A STREET SIGN. OSWALD HANDS A HANDBILL TO THE SUBJECT I AM REFERRING TO AS THE "DCM'. IT'S PROBABLY THE SAME GENERAL LOCATION OF THE PIC MARCEL SENT JUST A DIFFERENT SCENE. BUT YOU WILL SEE THE DCM WALKING TAKING A FEW STEPS AND YOU WILL NOTICE HE IS TALL AND SLIM. MARCEL, DOES YOUR RESEARCH GIVE BOSCH'S HEIGHT?

Christopher, The picture I sent comes from the movie to which Jim refers. I'm not at home for the moment. I'm in Luxemburg for duty reasons and therefore I don't have my movies collection with me (only several photos and frames collections into my laptop.) It will be GREAT if someone could send the frame in which appears the guy in question. Before I left, DCM means Darck Complected Man aka The Cuban aka Umbrella man Friend. See my analysis regarding DCM: http://users.skynet.be/copweb/jfk/Orlando%...sch%20Avila.htm Best regards... Marcel

JOHN, I SEE WHATYOU MEAN ABOUT THE LADY BEHIND ZAP. UNTIL YOUR PICS I NEVER NOTICED HER THERE BEFORE [ OR HIM [ FOR THAT MATTER. I GUESS IF SHE WAS THE NURSE AT ELM AND HOUSTON SHE WOULD HAVE HAD TIME TO WALK DOWN ELM AND UP TO THE PERGOLA BEFORE JFK ROLLED BY. THINK SHE IS DEFINITLY WEARING A NURSES' UNIFORM. I CAN'T THINK OF ANOTHER PROFESSION HER GARB WOULD INDICATE. BUT EVEN IF SHE IS A NURSE I KNOW IT DOESN'T MEAN SHE WAS " THE NURSE ". I'VE SEARCHED TO THE EXTENT OF MY ABILITIES WITH MY PERSONAL COMPUTER TO FIND HER IN THE CROWD AROUND ELM AND HOUSTON AND OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE TAPES AND BOOKS THAT I HAVE WITH NO RESULTS. FOR " RAINCOAT COP " , TOO. I WONDER HOW LONG FROM THE LAST SHOT THE BELL FILM WAS TAKEN? AND, HEY JOHN, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THIS BEING MY THREAD BRING UP ANY ISSUE YOU WANT. I'M HAPPY TO LEARN ANY NEW INFO I CAN AND TO HAVE A VENUE TO DISCUSS IT WITH PEOPLE WHO WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH. I THINK PEOPLE HERE IN THE DALLAS AREA WERE FROM THE START BRAINWASHED THRU THE MEDIA AND BECAUSE OF THE COLLECTIVE SHAME THE ASSASSINATION BROUGHT TO THIS CITY TURNED THEIR FACES AWAY AND LET THE YEARS SLIDE BY WITHOUT QUESTIONING THE OFFICAL STORY. JIM FEEMSTER

JOHN, I DIDN'T KNOW THESE TWO CHARACTERS WERE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF ELM BEFORE BEING PICKED UP ON THE END OF THE BELL FILM THAT FRANK AGBAT IDENTIFIED. IN THE FILM THEY REALLY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE TOGETHER AS THEY WALK ALONG THE INFEILD OF THE PLAZA. IN THE WARREN TESTIMONYS' I REMEMBER SOMEONE SAYING THEY THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE THAT A NURSE WOULD DAMPEN A RAG OR HANKERCHIEF BY DIPPING IT IN THE POOL OF WATER THAT RUNS PARALLEL WITH HOUSTON ST. SO WHEN I SEE THESE TWO COMING FROM THE DIRECTION OF THE CORNER OF HOUSTON AND ELM AT THE END OF THE BELL FILM AND GIVEN THE TESTIMONY OF THERE BEING A NURSE IN A NURSES UNIFORM HELPING THE EPILEPTIC FELLOW I JUST ASSUMED THIS HAD TO BE THE SAME LADY. OF THE TWO I FIND " RAINCOAT COP " TO BE THE MORE SPOOKY. IN AN EMERGENCY, EVEN A DOGCATCHER BEING A SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE WOULD RUSH TO THE SOUNDS OF THE GUNS. LOOK AT ALL THE CIVILLIANS WHO RESPONDED. BUT HERE IS " RAINCOAT COP " AMBLING ALONG IN THE WRONG DIRECTION HAVING A SMOKE. SOMETHING AIN'T RIGHT. JIM FEEMSTER

I'VE NOT SEEN THIS COMPARRISON RAISED BEFORE. GO BACK AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE DCM IN DEALY PLAZA. YES THE MAN WHO RAISED HIS FIST IN THE AIR POSSIBLY SIGNALING ONE OF THE SHOOTING TEAMS AS JFK COMES IN FRONT OF HIS POSITION ON THE NORTH SIDE OF ELM ST, JUST BESIDE AND BENEATH THE STEMMONS FRWY SIGN. NOW GO BACK AND LOOK AT YOUR COPIES OF DOCUMENTARY FILMS AND FIND OSWALD HANDING OUT FPC HANDBILLS IN N. O. INFRONT OF THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE MART. NOW WAIT FOR IT......... WAIT FOR IT...... THERE HE IS! A TALL , SLIM, CUBAN, DCM, WEARING THE SAME STYLE CAP HE IS WEARING IN DEALY PLAZA MONTHS LATER, ACCEPTING A HANDBILL FROM OSWALD AS HE WALKS INTO THE PICTURE FROM THE LEFT. NOW FREEZE FRAME. I DON'T KNOW THAT IT IS THE SAME GUY BUT IT SURE DOES FAVOR HIM. I DON'T HAVE THE EQUIPMENT OR THE SKILL TO ENHANCE AND/OR SPLIT SCREEN BUT I SURE WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMEONE'S BEST EFFORT TO TEST OUT MY SUSPICION. JIM FEEMSTER

JAMES AND JOHN, YOU ARE BOTH RIGHT! BUT I BELIEVE THERE WERE MORE FRAMES SHOWING THEM GETTING CLOSER TO FILMER AND THEN DUCKING OUT TO THE CAMERA'S RIGHT. ALSO, IS THIS THE NIX FILM? MY DAD PASSED AWAY 2 YRS. AGO. HE WAS A POLICEMAN IN LANCASTER , TEXAS IN 1963. MY UNCLE, W. A SMITH, WAS A DALLAS POLICEMAN ASSIGNED TO THE TRADE MART SECURITY, SECOND FLOOR THAT DAY. I SHOWED THEM BOTH THE TAPE AND THEY SAID THEY THOUGHT IT WAS NOT RIGHT THIS POLICEMAN WITH THE NURSE WALKING AWAY FROM THE SCENE OF THE CRIME. HOWEVER, THEY SAID, AND MY UNCLE SAYS TODAY, " OSWALD DONE IT. END OF STORY ! " MY UNCLE SAID THE ASSASSINATION WAS NEVER DISCUSSED BY COPS THAT HE KNEW. THEY WEREN'T TOLD NOT TO DISCUSS IT- THEY JUST DIDN'T. ANYWAY, I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS " RAINCOAT COP " COULD BE IDENTIFIED. THANKS JIM FEEMSTER

ON A VCR TAPE THAT I PURCHASED SEVERAL YEARS AGO I SEE A WOMAN IN A NURSES' UNIFORM BEING ESCORTED BY A DALLAS POLICEMAN IN A SLICKER OR DEPT. ISSUE RAINCOAT INADVERTENTLY CROSS IN FRONT OF A FILMER IN DEALY PLAZA. THE FILMER IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF MAIN ST. MOVING NORTHWEST TOWARD ELM BEGINNING TO CROSS THE OPEN AREA BETWEEN MAIN AND ELM WHEN INTO THE CAMERA'S VIEW FROM THE NORTHEAST[FROM THE RIGHT] APPEAR THE NURSE AND POLICEMAN. THINK I READ SOMEWHERE THAT THERE WAS AN ACTUAL NURSE THAT JUST HAPPENED TO BE AT THE CORNER OF HOUSTON AND ELM OR THAT VICINITY THAT ADMINISTERED TO THE EPILEPTIC WHO HAD A SEIZURE MINUTES BEFORE KENNEDY APPROACHED THE PLAZA. WHAT SEEMS FUNNY ABOUT THIS IS THAT THE MOTORCADE HAS JUST CLEARED THE PLAZA AND PEOPLE CAN BE SEEN SPRINTING TOWARD ELM ST. AND THE GK AREA. YET HERE IS A POLICEMAN DRESSED IN A LONG BLACK RAINCOAT CALMLY WALKING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WITH A NURSE. WHEN HE REALIZES HE HAS WALKED INTO THE CAMERA'S VIEW HE DUCKS HIS HEAD AND SCOOTS OUT OF VIEW. HE IS SMOKING A CIGARETTE AND AS HE DUCKS AWAY YOU CAN SEE HE HAS A BADGE ON HIS POLICE HAT. OK. IF I WALKED IN FRONT OF SOMEONE TAKING HOMEMOVIES I WOULD REACT THE SAME WAY YHE POLICEMAN DOES IN THIS FILM. BUT AT 12:33 , OR SO, IN DEALY PLAZA, ON NOV. 22, IF I WAS A DALLAS POLICEMAN IN FULL UNIFORM PLUS HEAVY RAINGEAR, I DON'T THINK I WOULD BE WALKING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION FROM WHERE SHOTS HAD BEEN FIRED AT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. THE TAPE I HAVE DOES NOT LIST THE FILMER SO I CAN'T SAY IT WAS THE NIX FILM OR SOMEONE ELSES. BUT IF ANYONE IS FAMILAR WITH THIS SCENE COULD THE FILM BE ENHANCED TO READ THE POLICEMAN'S BADGE NUMBER AND IS THERE A LIST OF BADGE NUMBERS ANYWHERE TO IDENTIFY THIS COP? WELL THIS IS MY FIRST POSTING. I HOPE I HAVE OBSERVED THE CORRECT PROTOCOLS. JIM FEEMSTER

I have a small portable building company in Midlothian, Texas and an amatuer jfk assassination buff. I have found your forum facinating and would like to participate in a small way.
