For those interested in making the comparison for themselves between the Altgens photo in question*, and the Z frame – 255 - held to be the same instant in time only captured from the north pergola pedestal allegedly occupied by the dressmaker, there is no better place to turn than National Nightmare on six feet of film: Mr. Zapruder’s home movie and the murder of President Kennedy (Danvers, Ma: Yeoman Press, 2005), p.71. The Z frame is at the top of the page, Altgens’ immediately below. *Strictly speaking, Altgens’ most famous photo of the assassination was, at most generous, his fourth photo of the motorcade. For an outstanding exposition of the issues surrounding attribution of photos to Altgens, see John Costella's essay, “A Scientist’s Verdict: The Film is a Fabrication,” within James H. Fetzer (Ed.) The Great Zapruder Film Hoax: Deceit and Deception in the Death of JFK (Chicago: Catfeet Press, 2003), pp.199-206. As Costella notes, “Trask would have been a perfect addition to the staff of the Warren Commission!” (p.206).

He was in the process of passing the presidential limo in the Altgens photo. Chaney appears to have held his course and speed, as captured in the aforementioned: The presidential limo, by contrast, slowed and went left, towards the south curb of Elm, whereupon, according to eyewitnesses, it stopped; and a final shot was fired. Chaney, of course, drove straight on to the lead car. Removing Chaney was part of simplifying the falsification of the Z film. By removing from the shooting sequence the lower level of the first version – by first version I mean the one described by, for example, Dan Rather on CBS radio/TV on 25 November – the fabricators could concentrate on the middle and upper layers of it ie the presidential limo and the south curb, their occupants and dispositions in the course of the shooting. The decision to excise the lower level - in effect, the north curb and its occupants - from the film is strongly suggestive of the scale and complexity of the task, not to mention the time constraints, confronting the fabricators. Second, any trace of Chaney passing the limo lent credence to both his own description of events, and any observations attributed to him like, say, those by Marion Baker; and those of corroborating witnesses. Third, Chaney’s interposing himself between the north curb and presidential limo did little for the built-in fall-back position, the knoll. Paul

A quite outrageously true suggestion! My solicitor will shortly be contacting your solicitor with a view to both solicitors making a large sum of money. There can be only one outcome: a full review of all the available evidence, followed by drinks all round. Make mine a Sky* double. * An ancient Scottish libation.

Fascinating. Some more detail, please, from McKean's Peddling Influence!

Good news. Let's hope the irascible bugger will consent to the mediation and put us out of our misery. It really was a very distinguished piece of crime analysis. Paul

A great pity, David. His contributions to this thread were very interesting and welcome. If by chance you bump into him - in person, or on the web - do ask him to reconsider. I was genuinely looking forward to his promised update(s). Paul

Sheds interesting light on that steaming pile of manure otherwise known as the Mitrokhin archive. One smells something different in the air at the moment. A deal, perhaps?

Yeah, but What'cha gonna do about it? The Tin Soldier

Priceless!

Yup: the film's a fake. As, of course, is any explanation, Len, which can't account for the footage shot from the opposite side of Elm. Angle of filmer's elevation explains Chaney's absence from Nix? Oh dear. But, please, do crunch the numbers for Z. This should be a hoot! Paul

In the forum thread Why Transcript 1327C is a Fraud (1), I drew attention to a number of the techniques used to further the cover-up deployed by William Manchester in his book Death of a President. In brief: Inconvenient individuals were first divorced from the problematic action, observation, or location, associated with them; and then rendered anonymous. The intention, and the result, at least for the casual student of the case, is to sever cause from effect. Revealingly, we find Manchester utilising exactly the same methods of deceit in the case of motorcycle outrider James Chaney, and his movements on Elm Street. To understand the necessity for their application to Chaney, a little context is order. By the time of Death of a President's publication in early 1967 the fabricators of the refashioned Zapruder film were eager to float their cinematic ironclad beyond the dry dock confines of the National Archives and Life magazine’s offices. The problem confronting the refashioned film's manufacturers was how to prepare the water for the release of a film that was entirely incompatible with an ocean of witness testimony. Enter the picture a select group of authors whose task was to chop out or plain smooth the rough timber of the witness testimony so that if offered no resistance to the filmic behemoth's progress down the slipway. A significant figure within this group of writers was William Manchester. Here’s how he did it in the case of James Chaney. He begins by introducing Chaney to the text, thus ensuring he cannot be charged with abolishing the police outrider entirely. He even echoes Chaney’s own reported estimate of his distance from the car, thus revealing a familiarity with the motorcop’s testimony that should be borne in mind throughout (2): Six pages later, Manchester divorces Chaney from his action (riding up to the motorcade’s lead car): And finally, having rendered Chaney nameless, Manchester sunders cause (Chaney’s journey) from its effect (his appearance at the side of the car containing Curry et al): By the time of Murder From Within seven years later, the truth of Chaney’s progress west on Elm will be subjected to an all together more sophisticated assault. But that, no doubt, is subject for a later posting.

There are at least two versions - significantly different in key respects - of this interview, but it nevertheless offers early print confirmation of the highlighted point:
