    In the Bronson slide (above), I've been wondering recently who the two women in black dresses are who are located to the left (east) of the Newman family? Anybody know?

    no names, the woman have been called the Bronson twins,in the photo research, and Pat yes, as seen here in Bronson DCM is in the street...a close up shows him holding up a finger signal or a closed fist signal i believe..which i have read in military signals is to stop, after which the limo did hesitate and slowed right down, and or stopped for a few seconds,some believe it was a signal to Greer, after which the head shot was accomplished... .fwiw.. David of course you believe the snappy zappy to be real, what else ?? omg here she is again..

    Jean Hill & Mary Moorman and the polaroid pictures
  2. Bernice,

    I dug up Jack's original post and I posted a quote of it in the bottom of your post. I thought it was easier to read because it does not contain the "=20" in every sentence.

    If you agree, just edit out the text you posted originally, if you disagree, edit out my comment in parentheses and the quote box below it.

    Thanks Tom, i could not come upon the originl, wonder what all the 20s mean....??:blink: b

  3. (The following added by Tom Scully for enhanced readability.):

    Yesterday while reviewing some transcribed old notes taken many years ago

    at the National Archives, David Lifton came across a long forgotten

    information of the mother lode variety.

    He was transcribing by hand, listening with earphones to audio tapes made

    on the afternoon of 11-22-63, from KRLD Radio tape reels.

    The reel was an interview by Jay Hogan of Mary Moorman and Jean Hill at

    3:30 pm...on KRLD RADIO excerpts, Tape 5B and 6A at NARA.

    I am excerpting from the lengthy transcript several relevant parts of the

    interviews. Decide for yourself the importance of this first day evidence:

    HOGAN:

    Q: Hello, Mrs. Moorman?

    A: Yes.

    Q You took the picture just after the shooting, or just before?

    A: Evidently, just immediately, as the. . . Cause he was, he was looking, you know,

    whenever I got the camera focused and then I snapped it in my picture, he slumped over.

    (DELETED FOR BREVITY)

    Q: About how close were you?

    (DELETED FOR BREVITY)

    A: 10 or fifteen foot, I, no more . . . Because I fall behind my camera.

    (DELETED FOR BREVITY)

    Q: Were you up on that grassy bank there?

    A: We stepped out in the street. We were right at the car.

    (DELETED FOR BREVITY)

    Q: How many shots did you hear? You say "shots rang out".

    A: Oh, oh, I don't know. I think three or four is what I, I uh, that I heard.

    Q: Uh huh.

    A: (continuing) that I'm sure of. Now, I don't know, there might have been more.

    It just took seconds for me to realize what was happening.

    Q: Yeah, uh, what as your first thought?

    A: That those ARE shots. I mean, he had been HIT.

    And that they're liable to hit me, cause I'm right at the car,

    so I decided the place for me is to get on the ground (laughs)

    Q: So huh, how did the president respond to this shot. I mean, did he just

    slump suddenly?

    A: He grabbed his chest, and of course, Mrs. Kennedy jumped up immediately,

    and fell over him; and she said: "My God, he's been shot."

    Q: Did you notice any other reactions...

    (DELETED FOR BREVITY)

    A: Uh, they hesitated just for a moment [referring, I believe, to the car itself,

    rather than to the behavior of any particular individual--dsl] cause I think they

    were like I was, you know--'Was that a shot," or was itj ust a backfire, or

    just what? And then, course, he clutched himself and they immediately sped up,

    real fast, you know, like--to get OUT of there. And, uh, the police, there were

    several motorcycles around him; and, uh, they stopped, and uh--one or two must

    of went with him, And one ran up the hill, and a friend that was with me ran up

    the hill across the street from where the shots came from.

    (DELETED FOR BREVITY)

    Q: It (shots) seemed fairly close by?

    A: Yes, uh huh.

    Q And form what direction did they seem to be?

    A: Oh, Lord? North. Just back there (at--laughs)

    Q: Just just right at you?

    A: Yes, sir.

    (DELETED FOR BREVITY)

    A: The sound popped, well it just sounded like, well, you know, there might

    have been a firecracker right there in that car.

    Q: And in your picture, uh, you uh took this picture just BEFORE the shot?

    (DELETED FOR BREVITY)

    A: Evidently, at the minute (means "instant") that he, that it hit him because,

    uh, we was we was looking, at me, or I mean, he was looking, you know, at the

    people when my picture came out. They just slumped over, so I must have got it.

    (DELETED FOR BREVITY)

    A: Yes, uh huh. You could see he's clutched, he's bent over, and she's... and she

    hadn't even gotten up in my picture, and she DID get up, STOOD UP, in the car.

    (DELETED FOR BREVITY)

    Q: Uh huh. And you and your friend Miss Hill, uh, were together there

    at the scene. Was anybody else with you?

    A No, uh uh.

    Q: OK, well we sure thank you.

    FROM HERE ON OUT, the interview continues with Jean Hill

    Q: (continuing)

    And also, here, we do have Miss Hill. Miss Hill, you were an

    eyewitness, also?

    A: Yes, I was . I suppose we were the people closest to the

    President's car at the time.

    Q: Uh, that as about 10 or fifteen feet, you'd say?

    A: Not anymore than that at all.

    Q: Uh huh. You were both looking right at the presidential car, then?

    A: Yes, we were looking right at the President. We were looking at his face.

    As Mary took the picture, I was looking at him. And he grabbed his hands across

    his ch-when two shots rang out. He grabbed his hands across his chest. I have

    never seen anyone killed, or in pain before like that but there was this odd

    look came across his face, and he pitched forward onto Jackie's lap.

    DSL NOTE: I believe this must mean: "to the side onto Jackie's lap" --because Jackie was

    to the left of JFK, not in front of JFK. In my interview of the Newman's, circa 1971, in

    person, and on tape, they talk of JFK falling to the side, or being thrust towards Jackie.

    A: And uh, she immediately, we were close enough to even hear her, and

    everything, and she fell across him and says "My God, he's been shot."

    Q: ..... Did you notice particularly any of the other people around? At the time (she cuts in)

    A: There was NO one around us on our side of the street. We had planned it that way;

    we wanted to be down there by ourselves; that’s the reason we had gotten almost

    to the underpass, so we’d be completely in the clear.

    Q: Any other reactions form the other people in the motorcae, that you recall?

    A: The motorcade was stunned after the first two shots, and it came to a momentary halt,

    and about that time 4 more uh, 3 to 4 more shots again rang out, and I guess it just didn't

    register with me. Mary was uh had gotten down on the ground and was pulling at my leg,

    saying "Get , get down, they're shooting, get down, they're shooting; and I didn't even

    realize it. And I just kept sitting there looking. And uh uh just about that time, well,

    of course, some of the motorcycles pulled away. And some of them pulled over to the side

    and started running up the bank; there's a hill on the other side (she is interrupted)

    Q: Yes, Maam.

    A: And the shots came from there. After they were momentarily stopped--after the

    first two shots--THEN they sped away REAL quickly.

    (DELETED FOR BREVITY)

    Q: Well, thank you Miss Hill, and also Miss Moorman, for speaking with us about this.

    A. Thankyou.

    ANNOUNCER: That's two eyewitnesses to the murdered president, who saw on his face the

    anguish of his very last hour alive. Before we go back to CBS, here again are some

    THIS IS FIRST DAY TESTIMONY FROM THE TWO CLOSEST WITNESSES.

  4. Moorman said she was on the grass, not the street, when taking the infamous Polaroid picture.

    I wonder why she said that, when during her interview on Elm Street with Gary Mack, he had to prevent her from saying "we stepped out into the street" multiple times?

    Curious.

    Yes, she did step out on the street before the President's limo arrived. She stepped into the street to take a picture of Police Officer George Lumpkin. Moorman said she stepped back onto the edge of the curb on the grass before taking her infamous photo. Duncan has posted a link to the interview, so you can hear her make this comment yourself.

    But that is not what she said in 97.......b...

    Mary has stated she WAS in the street , when she took her polaroid.....

    She was interviewed by KRLD in 1997....The interview was originally, and =

    kindly provided by Debra Conway.....

    Moorman: " UH, just immediately before the presidential car came into =

    view, we were, you know, there was just tremendous excitement. And my =

    friend who was with me ( Jean Hill ) we were right ready to take the =

    picture. And she's not timid. She, as the car approached us, she did =

    hollar for the president . " Mr.President, look this way !=20

    AND I'D STEPPED OUT OFF THE CURB INTO THE STREET TO TAKE THE PICTURE. =

    AND SNAPPED IT IMMEDIATELY..And that evidently was the first shot . You =

    know I could hear the sound.And.

    Jones: "Now, when you heard the sound, did you immediately think 'rifle =

    shot'..?"

    Moorman: "Oh no. A firecracker, maybe. There was another one just =

    immediately following which I still thought was a firecracker. And then =

    I stepped back up on to the grassy area. I guess just, people were =

    falling around us, you know.

    Knowing something was wrong . I cetainly didn't know what was wrong. "

  5. :blink:She seems to have had great difficulty through the years, about where she stood, she has changed her mind, too often, to be taken seriously any longer....imo...b :blink:

    Sounds like you are talking about Jean Hill not Mary Moorman!

    Cheers

    NO, MARY, CHECK THROUGH GOOGLE AND THE VIDEOS AS WELL, ALSO HERE IN OLDER THREADS...FOR INFORMATION...IF YOU HAVE NOT COME UPON IT......TAKE CARE B..

  6. " "...The major forum for your nation's greater role in world affairs is that of protector of the weak and voice of the small, the United Nations. From Cork to the Congo (ed add : Che'), from Galway to the Gaza Strip, from this legislative assembly to the United Nations, Ireland is sending its most talented men to do the world's most important work--the work of peace.

    In a sense, this export of talent is in keeping with an historic Irish role--but you no longer go as exiles and emigrants but for the service of your country and, indeed, of all men. Like the Irish missionaries of medieval days, like the "wild geese" after the Battle of the Boyne, you are not content to sit by your fireside while others are in need of your help. Nor are you content with the recollections of the past when you face the responsibilities of the present.

    Twenty-six sons of Ireland have died in the Congo; many others have been wounded. I pay tribute to them and to all of you for your commitment and dedication to world order. And their sacrifice reminds us all that we must not falter now.

    The United Nations must be fully and fairly financed. Its peace- keeping machinery must be strengthened. Its institutions must be developed until some day, and perhaps some distant day, a world of law is achieved.

    Ireland's influence in the United Nations is far greater than your relative size. You have not hesitated to take the lead on such sensitive issues as the Kashmir dispute. And you sponsored that most vital resolution, adopted by the General Assembly, which opposed the spread of nuclear arms to any nation not now possessing them, urging an international agreement with inspection and controls. And I pledge to you that the United States of America will do all in its power to achieve such an agreement and fulfill your resolution.

    I speak of these matters today--not because Ireland is unaware of its role--but I think it important that you know that we know what you have done. And I speak to remind the other small nations that they, too, can and must help build a world peace. They, too, as we all are, are dependent on the United Nations for security, for an equal chance to be heard, for progress towards a world made safe for diversity.

    The peace-keeping machinery of the United Nations cannot work without the help of the smaller nations, nations whose forces threaten no one and whose forces can thus help create a world in which no nation is threatened. Great powers have their responsibilities and their burdens, but the smaller nations of the world must fulfill their obligations as well.

    A great Irish poet once wrote: "I believe profoundly . . . in the future of Ireland . . . that this is an isle of destiny, that that destiny will be glorious . . . and that when our hour is come, we will have something to give to the world." "

    Che' dropped into Dublin in dec 1964.

    "Ernesto Guevara de la Serna was born in Rosario, Argentina, the eldest of five children in a family of Spanish and Irish descent; both his father and mother were of Basque ancestry. One of Guevara's forebears, Patrick Lynch, was born in Galway, Ireland, in 1715. He left for Bilbao, Spain, and traveled from there to Argentina. Francisco Lynch (Guevara's great-grandfather) was born in 1817, and Ana Lynch (his grandmother) in 1868. Her son, Ernesto Guevara Lynch (Guevara's father) was born in 1900. Guevara Lynch married Celia de la Serna y Llosa in 1927 (one of her non-lineal ancestors was José de la Serna e Hinojosa, Spanish viceroy of Peru), and they had three sons and two daughters."

    and march '65.

    "Ernesto Che' Guevara was born on 14 June, 1928 in Rosario, Argentina, the eldest of five children into a family of Spanish, Basque and Irish descent. His father Ernesto Guevera Lynch said of his son, that his veins flowed with the blood of Irish rebels. His great-grandfather, Patrick Lynch allegedly left Galway, Ireland during the devastating famine in the 1840's. The name Lynch is one of the most common surnames in Ireland. The origin of the name comes from the Norman, de Lench, they established themselves in Galway becoming one of the fourteen tribes that dominated the city. Dr. Che Guevara arrived at Shannon Airport on Saturday, 13 March 1965. He was onboard a Cuban Airlines Britannia aircraft which had encountered mechanical difficulties during their flight from Prague, Czechoslovakia (present day Czech Republic) to Havana in Cuba. He was returning to Cuba after a three month tour, that had included China, Egypt, Algeria, Ghana, Mali, Dahomey, Congo-Brazzaville and Tanzania. In Algiers, on 24 February, he made what turned out to be his last public appearance on the international stage when he delivered a speech at an economic seminar on Afro-Asian solidarity. Guevara was accompanied by another revolutionary Dr. Osmani Cienfuegos, the Cuban Minister for Construction along with some other minor government officials. An Irish journalist named Alan Quinlan, working on a tip-off went to meet Che at Shannon airport. Upon first meeting him, the Commadante pretended that he did not speak English, however Quinlan coaxed him into speaking with him. Guevara remained tight-lipped about anything got to do with politics, but he did speak about his Irish connections and the name Lynch. Later that day he went into Limerick City, going to Hanratty's hotel on Glenworth St. He left Ireland the following day after the plane had been repaired, returning to Havana on 14 March 1965."

  7. I heard from Jack's wife, Sue, this evening. Great news. The surgery turned out to be a triple (not a quadruple) bypass. It

    lasted about two hours. Jack tolerated it fine. As of the time of her message, Jack was recovering in ICU.

    Thank you Greg. Wonderful news.

    :)

    God bless you Jack, come back soon.....best b :)

  8. HERE IS ONE OF THE first report articles compiled by Michael Parks...fyi alt.conspiracy.jfk on Aug. 22,'96 =by bhart@cyberramp.net (Michael Parks) =3D his comments remain ]] == FIRST REPORTS OUT OF DALLAS TAKEN FROM THE DALLAS TIMES HERALD, =11/24/63 ...as police prepared to transfer Oswald...to the county jail =on Sunday, they indicated there was little hope at that point of =obtaining a confession of the President's murder. Another employee of =the firm (TSBD) was interviewed at length Saturday after appearing =voluntarily. Capt. W.P. Gannaway of the Police Department's Special =Services Bureau said this man's name has been in the subversive files of =the department since 1955. He was not jailed and police said he was not =arrested. =------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. =FIRST REPORTS OUT OF DALLAS TAKEN FROM THE DALLAS TIMES HERALD, 11/23/63 =Officer Tippit was shot TWICE by the fleeing man - who police said was =Oswald - and who was arrested within less than an hour in an Oak Cliff =theater. In the BACK of the President's head was a gaping hole in some =respects simular to the head wound Lincoln suffered in the Ford Theater. =Another bullet hole was in President Kennedy's neck, just below the =adam's apple. When Dr. Clark first looked at the stricken President, he =saw "a large gaping wound in the back of the head. There was loss of =tissue." He indicated that he knew at that instant there was no hope. =Wounds in the lower front portion of the neck and the right rear side of =the head ended the life of President John F. Kennedy, say doctors at =Parkland Hospital. Dr. Perry was busy with the wound in the President's =neck. "It was a midline in the lower portion of the neck in the =front.....Below the Adam's apple.....It was an entrance wound in the =neck." Back at Parkland, two unidentified plainclothes officers were =asking to be taken to Gov. Connally's room so they could recover the =bullet slug. (SAY WHAT???!!! M.P.) Sheriff Decker's voice came on. ="Notify my office to empty. Send everybody...." (This statement was not =completed in this paper. M.P.) At 2:30 P.M., police announced their =search of the Texas Book Depository Building was finished. Famed surgeon =Dr. Robert R. Shaw, who previously had performed the first chest and =heart surgery in Afghanistan, was the chief surgeon on Govt. Connally's =case. ------------------------------------------------------------------ =4. FIRST REPORTS OUT OF DALLAS TAKEN FROM THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS, =11/25/63 The Justice Department announced in Washington that Assistant =Atty. Gen. Jack Miller Jr., who heads its criminal division, was flying =to Dallas to confer with U.S. District Attorney Barefoot Sanders. A =spoksman refused to say whether the federal government considered the =assassination case closed or whether there was a possibility others were =involved. (This was found in the Early City or 3 star Edition. This note =was dropped in all later editions of the paper. M.P.) Sheriff Bill =Decker said officers "did everything humanly possible" to protect both =President Kennedy and the man accused of assassinating him. "I don't =think it would make a bit of difference if Oswald had been transferred =at night," Decker said. "If someone is determined to commit murder, it's =almost impossible to stop him." Officers said Rubenstein apparently =mingled with reporters and photographers and, in this way, got a chance =to shoot Oswald. Wade recalled he saw Rubenstein with reporters Friday =night when they interviewed Oswald briefly. Rubenstein, who introduced =himself to Wade, may have been plotting the slaying at that time. (This =was found in the Early City or 3 star Edition. It was dropped in later =editions of this paper. M.P.) Rubenstein, who was described as a man =with a quick temper, is expected to plead temporary insanity. (Again, =this was found in the Early City or 3 star Edition and was dropped in =later editions. M.P.) In a telephone conversation with Homicide Capt. =Will Fritz, Mrs. (Eva) Grant (Ruby's sister) said: "You know that no one =else could have gotten in that building - but all the boys (policemen) =knew Jack." Dallas detectives found two large wads of bills and silver =when they searched his (Ruby's) apartment Sunday afternoon. One was in a =closet and the other was found in a chest drawer. The amount was not =disclosed. In an article written for the Associated Press by Dallas =policeman M.N. McDonald and printed in this paper, he states: "I was =cruising towards Oak Cliff, across the river (Trinity that splits Dallas =almost in half). I got a call about 1:30 p.m. The radio dispatcher, G.D. =Henslee, first told me to check the alleys. The next tip was that a guy =that fitted the description they were giving was in a branch library out =in Oak Cliff. This didn't take long to be a phoney. The next one said a =man acting funny was holed up in the balcony of the Texas Theater. I =headed that way in a hurry. The cashier at the picture show was the one =who called in to say this guy was acting supicious and hidden out in the =balcony." Hugh Aynesworth did a large article about Ruby killing Oswald. =In later editions of this paper, the following quotes were added to his =article: "Chief Curry noted he could have moved Oswald secretly 'in the =dark of night,' but had promised reporters and photographers from =throughout the free world that he would make the transfer during the =day." "Police took precautions against any incident. Six armed policemen =surrounded the cart and attendants as it was moved to the green =ambulance." "One reporter said he heard the slayer add, "I did it for =Jackie so she wouldn't have to go through all that...coming back here =for the trial and everything." "But in Evansville, Ind., entertainer =Bill Demar told the Associated Press he is positive Oswald was a patron =in Rubenstein's night club nine days ago. Demar, who has a memory act, =said Oswald was amoung those who called out an object for him to =remember." =------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. =FIRST REPORTS OUT OF DALLAS TAKEN FROM THE DALLAS TIMES HERALD, 11/22/63 =The motorcade had just turned into Houston Street from Main Street when =a shot rang out. Pigeons flew up from the street. Then, two more shots =rang out and Mr. Kennedy fell to the floor of the car. The shots seemed =to come from the extension of Elm Street from just beyond the Texas =Textbook Depository building at the corner of Elm and Houston Streets. =Sgt. G.D. Henley, police dispatcher, directed ALL available police units =to the downtown area near the western edge of downtown Dallas. Witnesses =said six or seven shots were fired. The BURSTS were clearly heard. =Reporters about five car lengths behind the chief executive heard what =sounded like three BURSTS of gunfire. Fire equipment was rushed to the =building from which the shots were believed to have been fired. Firemen =roped off the area as SECRET SERVICE men (?) and city police swarmed =through the building. Partolman W.E. Barker saw workers in the Texas =School Book Depository pecking on a window from the third floor and =pointing to a man wearing horn-rimmed glasses, a plaid coat and rain =coat. The officer immediately arrested the man for =questioning......Officers on the case would not explain what connection =the man might have with the shooting nor would they identify him. =------------------------------------------------------------------ 5. =FIRST REPORTS OUT OF DALLAS TAKEN FROM THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 11/23/63 =The President died in a sixth-floor surgery room at Parkland Hospital at =1 p.m., about 40 minutes after the assassin had sent a Mauser 7.62 =bullet smashing into his head....(** or two star edition paper). The =President died in a sixth floor surgery room at Parkland Hospital at 1 =p.m., about 40 minutes after the assassin had sent a Mauser 6.5 rifle =bullet smashing into his head...(*** or three star edition paper). The =assassin, firing from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book =Depository Building near the Triple Underpass sent a Mauser 6.5 rifle =bullet smashing into the President's head...(**** or four star edition =paper). He (the assassin) fired at least three carefully measured shots =into the car. (**) The original plans for President Kennedy's visit =called for a fast ride from Dallas Love Field to a Trade Mart luncheon. =Then Democratic leaders urged the President to ride in motorcade through =Fort Worth and Dallas to give more voters a chance to see him. Jack C. =Cason, president of the depository, said the sixth floor was used soley =as a "dead storage" area. It was stacked about eight feet high with =books. Cason, who left the scene about 30 minutes before the president's =caravan rode down Main Street, said the firm often had difficulty =finding employes who had fallen asleep amidst the stacks of books. ="Somethimes it will be three or four days without anybody going up to =the sixth floor to get anything," Cason said. He said the "dead storage" =area was used to keep books already stocked in the basement and on the =second and fourth floors. Only when they ran out of copies there does =anybody generally go to the sixth floor. Cason said the killer was =apparently "well aware" of the building's layout because there was no =elevator that goes up to the sixth floor from the front entrance. He =would have had to get off the elevator on the fourth floor, walk to the =back of the building and get the stairs or one of the two freight =elevators on the sixth. They (the local police) arrested several =persons, amoung them a Fort Worth man who was said to be driving a car =linked with the slayer. Dealey Plaza and assassination witness Mary E. =Woodward stated: "...After acknowledging our cheers, he (JFK) faced =forward again and suddenly there was a horrible, ear-shattering noise =coming from behind us and a little to the right. My first reaction, and =also my friends', (Maggie Brown, Aurelia Alonzo and Ann Donaldson) was =that it was a joke, someone had backfired their car. Apparently the =driver and occupants of the President's car had the same impression, =because instead of speeding up, the car came almost to a halt. Things =are a little hazy from this point, but I don't believe anyone was hit =with the first bullet. The President and Mrs. Kennedy turned and looked =around, as if they, too, didn't believe the noise was really coming from =a gun. Then after a moment's pause there was another shot and I saw the =President start slumping in the car. This was followed rapidly by =another shot. Mrs. Kennedy stood up in the car, turned half-way around, =then fell on top of her husband's body.....Next to us were two Negro =women. One collapsed in the other's arms, weeping and uttering what =everyone was thinking: 'THEY shot him'." "THEY'VE shot him...THEY'VE =shot the President," screamed a middle-aged man holding the hand of a =small boy. Dozens of people thought the reports from the killer's muzzle =were just firecrackers. A FEW pointed towards the textbook building. BUT =MOST ran to the west side of the building thinking the shots came from =behind the bushes and a fence dividing the street from a railroad yard. =Deputy Police Chief George Lumpkin used scores of firemen and policemen =in a systematic search of the building.

"The policeman threw a gun into =Oswald's stomach and asked me if Oswald belonged there.

Then Democratic leaders =urged=20the President to ride in motorcade through Fort Worth and Dallas to give =more=20voters a chance to see him. Jack C. Cason, president of the depository, =said the=20sixth floor was used soley as a "dead storage" area. It was stacked =about eight=20feet high with books. Cason, who left the scene about 30 minutes before =the=20president's caravan rode down Main Street, said the firm often had =difficulty=20finding employes who had fallen asleep amidst the stacks of books. ="Somethimes=20it will be three or four days without anybody going up to the sixth =floor to get=20anything," Cason said. He said the "dead storage" area was used to keep =books=20already stocked in the basement and on the second and fourth floors. =Only when=20they ran out of copies there does anybody generally go to the sixth =floor. Cason=20said the killer was apparently "well aware" of the building's layout =because=20there was no elevator that goes up to the sixth floor from the front =entrance.=20He would have had to get off the elevator on the fourth floor, walk to =the back=20of the building and get the stairs or one of the two freight elevators =on the=20sixth. They (the local police) arrested several persons, amoung them a =Fort=20Worth man who was said to be driving a car linked with the slayer. =Dealey Plaza=20and assassination witness Mary E. Woodward stated: "...After =acknowledging our=20cheers, he (JFK) faced forward again and suddenly there was a horrible,=20ear-shattering noise coming from behind us and a little to the right. My =first=20reaction, and also my friends', (Maggie Brown, Aurelia Alonzo and Ann =Donaldson)=20was that it was a joke, someone had backfired their car. Apparently the =driver=20and occupants of the President's car had the same impression, because =instead of=20speeding up, the car came almost to a halt. Things are a little hazy =from this=20point, but I don't believe anyone was hit with the first bullet. The =President=20and Mrs. Kennedy turned and looked around, as if they, too, didn't =believe the=20noise was really coming from a gun. Then after a moment's pause there =was=20another shot and I saw the President start slumping in the car. This was =followed rapidly by another shot. Mrs. Kennedy stood up in the car, =turned=20half-way around, then fell on top of her husband's body.....Next to us =were two=20Negro women. One collapsed in the other's arms, weeping and uttering =what=20everyone was thinking: 'THEY shot him'." "THEY'VE shot him...THEY'VE =shot the=20President," screamed a middle-aged man holding the hand of a small boy. =Dozens=20of people thought the reports from the killer's muzzle were just =firecrackers. A=20FEW pointed towards the textbook building. BUT MOST ran to the west side =of the=20building thinking the shots came from behind the bushes and a fence =dividing the=20street from a railroad yard.
