Jim, City Hall and the annex at 106 S Harwood is actually on the corner of Main and Harwood, 9 blocks E/NE of Dealy Plaza.  The "Old Red" courthouse (still in use in 1963) is on Houston between Main and Commerce, overlooking Dealy Plaza.  Across Main from it was a county building housing Bill Decker's Sherrif department and the county jail.  Where they were transferring Oswald, and where Ruby was held for trial.

Immediately south of "Old Red" is the new Dallas Criminal Courts building on the corner of Commerce and Houston, under construction in November 1963.  Where Richard Randolph Carr was seeking employment at the time of the assassination.

Hope this helps.  Maybe google maps will more.

Ron,

I once read an account of the precautions that Will Fritz took when planning the transfer of Jack Ruby to jail after his trial was over. Fritz ran the route himself and was calling back into headquarters using pay phones.

(The bit about using pay phones really intrigued me. Did he suspect his phones were tapped?)

I haven't been able to find that account again. Has anyone else ever seen it?

State Department: White House gift records for Trump, Pence missing

“The department says the Executive Office of the President did not submit information about gifts received by Trump and his family from foreign leaders in 2020.”

By Associated Press 04/09/2022

https://www.politico.com/news/2022/04/09/state-department-white-house-gift-records-trump-pence-00024253

“The State Department says it is unable to compile a complete and accurate accounting of gifts presented to former President Donald Trump and other U.S. officials by foreign governments during Trump’s final year in office, citing missing data from the White House.”

“In a report to be published in the Federal Register next week, the department says the Executive Office of the President did not submit information about gifts received by Trump and his family from foreign leaders in 2020. It also says the General Services Administration didn’t submit information about gifts given to former Vice President Mike Pence and White House staffers that year.”

“The report notes that the lack of gift information could be related to internal oversights as the protocol office neglected to “submit the request for data to all reporting agencies prior to January 20, 2021,” when the Trump administration ended and the Biden administration began. However, it also noted that there had been a “lack of adequate recordkeeping pertaining to diplomatic gifts” between Jan. 20, 2017, when Trump took office, and his departure from the White House four years later.”

 

Nice work if you can get it.

Steve,

Kelley’s report is interesting (Why on earth was Harry Holmes there with Fritz and Oswald?) but it seems clear even from that report that it was Fritz’s call when to start transferring Oswald. It isn’t all that surprising that there were some other phone calls and, from Kelley’s description, it sounds like that brief interview with Oswald was right there in Fritz’s office, although Kelley thought Fritz didn’t hear it.  Do you read it otherwise?

Jim,

Kelley's private conversation with Oswald comes at the tail end of the interview. Counting Kelley, there were 8 people present besides Oswald. Kelley even says it was in Fritz's office. After Kelley wrapped up, Oswald was given a change of clothes and Fritz made a "number of telephone calls" to make sure the preparations were in place.

(I don't know why a "number of calls" had to be placed, and I've always been curious to who the "one of Frit'sz men" was who might or might not have been in earshot. I couldn't find any corroboration for this last point in the reports or testimony of people like Sims or Boyd.

Jim,

Yes, it's hard to know where that information came from. I personally believe that there is a nexus - a pipeline of information - somewhere between U.S Army Reserves and the Dallas Police Department that we don't know anything about.

 

Jim,

For me personally, this was illustrated in the WC testimony of Jack Revill.

Lieutenant Jack Revill testified before the Warren Commission on May 13, 1964. (Bob Carroll had already testified a month earlier – see below)

http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/revill2.htm

The questioning concerns a Report that Revill wrote out at approximately 3:30 to 3:35 on the afternoon of the 22^nd concerning Lee Harvey Oswald at 605 Elsbeth St. Up to a certain point, Revill ia being questioned by General counsel, J, Lee Rankin, but when the subject of Oswald's address of 605 Elsbeth comes up, Allen Dulles takes over.

This Report is CE 709 at (17H495)

https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=1134#relPageId=521&tab=page

 

Mr. REVILL. That is what they gave me.
Mr. RANKIN. You found that out?
Mr. DULLES. This is an address he once lived at.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you know that?
Mr. DUlLES. This is correct. I want to find out what he knows about it.

Notice the interplay between Rankin and Dulles. Dulles seems to know about the Elsbeth St. address and he wants to know how Revill knows about it.

 

Mr. DULLES. Could I ask a question? Where did you get this address that you put on of 605 Elsbeth Street, do you recall?
Mr. REVILL. Yes, sir; from Detective E. B. Carroll or Detective Taylor.
Mr. DULLES. Are they subordinates?
Mr. REVILL. No; they are detectives assigned to the special service bureau. One of them works the narcotics squad and one of them is assigned to the vice unit.
Mr. DULLES. You never ascertained where they got it?
Mr. REVILL. No, sir; this might be the address that they got from Oswald, I do not know. I never even thought about it until you brought up the point that this is not the address.
Mr. DULLES. Can you find out where they got this address?
Mr. REVILL. Yes, sir; I can.
Mr. DULLES. I think that would be useful. I would like to know that. I would like to know where they got this address also.

 

Mr. REVILL. It would have been the same day because this was made within an hour----

The CHAIRMAN. I think that is all. Thank you, again, lieutenant.
Mr. REVILL. I will attempt to find out on that address, and I shall let Mr. Sorrels know, with Secret Service.

It's Dulles, not Rankin who keeps pushing Revill where he got this address. Is Dulles concerned that Revill knew about a connection of a Harvey Lee Oswald to Elsbeth St, and how Revill would know about that? Just about the time when Revill would have revealed when he obtained this address, he is cut off.

Warren Commission Document# 948 is a memo from Sorrels to Inspector Kelley dated May 19, 1964.

https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=11344#relPageId=2&tab=page

In that memo, Sorrels says that Revill contacted Sorrels (it does not say how this contact was made), and said that Revill told him he got the 605 Elsbeth address orally from Bob Carroll. As the driver of the car that took Oswald from the Theater to the police station, Carroll allegedly looked back over his shoulder and read the address off a Dallas Public Library card that had been removed from Oswald's billfold by one of the officers in the back seat. Carroll allegedly said that he misread the number as 605 instead of 602.

This is six days after Revilll's WC testimony, and one month after Bob Carroll told the WC that no mention of an address had been made in the car transporting Oswald to City Hall.

Detective Bob Carroll's testimony before the Warren Commission April 3, 1964

http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/carroll.htm

 

Mr. BELIN. Did he give two names? Or did someone in the car read from the identification?
Mr. CARROLL. Someone in the car may have read from the identification. I know two names, the best I recall, were mentioned.
Mr. BELIN. Were any addresses mentioned?
Mr. CARROLL. Not that I recall; no, sir.

In their after-action reports filed with Chief Curry on December 3rd, neither Caroll (Portal to Texas History)

Thanks, Steve.  There’s a lot of misinformation tucked into one short paragraph there.  You have to wonder how much is courtesy of the U.S. Army and how much is from Stringfellow.  

Interesting too that the Army document gives a physical description of “Oswald, Harvey Lee” is identical to the physical description of “Lee Henry Oswald” in the infamous CIA cable of October 10, 1963 (see below).  Most references to LHO’s height are either 5’ 9” or 5’ 11”; very few docs list his height at 5’ 10.

 

Jim,

Yes, it's hard to know where that information came from. I personally believe that there is a nexus - a pipeline of information - somewhere between U.S Army Reserves and the Dallas Police Department that we don't know anything about.

I once started compiling a list of references to this 5'10:, blue-eyed, bushy-browned hair person.

I keep reminding myself that on two occasions, Earlene Roberts testified that when the Dallas Police Detectives came knocking on her door, they were asking for Harvey Lee Oswald.

http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/4023-lee-henry-oswald/

A final anomaly brought out in "Popov's Mole" is a crucial key to the assassination itself

A false physical description of Oswald as 5 feet, 10 inches and 165 pounds can be found in three crucial places:

1. This description originated in a memo written by FBI Special John Fain in May, 1960, supposedly based from talking to Oswald’s mother, although Oswald’s weight never varied any more than 130-150 and was 150 at the time of his death. LHO's height was generally described as 5 feet, 9 inches, though the Marines reported Oswald as 5 feet, 11 inches.

LHO seemed to favor the 5'11" description when dealing with government officials, for some still-unknown purpose.

http://www.aarclibrary.org/publib/jfk/wc/w...eport_0084b.htm

http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/...mp;relPageId=10

http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/...bsPageId=792581

2. “The last known pre-assassination use of this physical description was in the second of the twin October 10 messages was a cable sent two hours later to the station in Mexico: "Oswald is five feet ten inches, one hundred sixty five pounds..." Although Egerter checked it for accuracy, "accuracy" is not the issue. The issue is how this particular description was chosen from all the descriptions out there.”

http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/...p;relPageId=157

3. Finally, the broadcast over the Dallas police radio fifteen minutes after JFK was shot was that the unidentified assassin was “5/10, 165 pounds...”

http://www.aarclibrary.org/publib/jfk/wc/w...Vol23_0438a.htm

“Although confused commentators have claimed that Howard Brennan was the source, it's well documented that an "unidentified citizen" gave the above description to Inspector Sawyer after he saw someone looking like Oswald running from the Book Depository immediately after the assassination. The citizen did not comply with the sheriff's request to come to the office later to fill out a report, and Hoover said that the "sheriff's office can locate no record on this citizen".

https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=57753&relPageId=109

Even after the Warren Report was published, Hoover responded in November, 1964 to general counsel J. Lee Rankin's request that according to the Dallas police the information came from an ‘unidentified citizen’.”

http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/...mp;relPageId=72 -

Huh? What is that all about?

also see Gerald McKnight's (Breach of Trust, p. 109)

Rankin repeated his request to Hoover for more information on this incident, but apparently to no avail.

http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/...mp;relPageId=33

 

Is this "unidentified citizen" someone with access to government records, and which set of records does he have access to, and how intertwined is he with this whole Harvey Lee Oswald mess?

“...Trump teased about whether he will again run for the White House. “I don’t want to comment on running, but I think a lot of people are going to be very happy by my decision," he said, adding: "Because it’s a little boring now.” “

"A bill passed in the Kentucky Legislature that would allow all licensed attorneys to conceal-carry firearms in courtrooms statewide is being met with some opposition.
The bill passed unanimously in the State House and by a 33-1 margin, with the lone "no" vote coming from Senate Minority Leader Morgan McGarvey. He called the bill "insane.""
"David Boles, a district court judge and former 20-year member of the police force, said courtrooms are emotional and that adding guns to the equation could lead to a worst-case scenario.
"Imagine a responsible criminal defense lawyer who is armed sitting next to his client in court," Boles said. "Now imagine the client overpowering his lawyer, taking his firearm and creating a deadly encounter inside the courtroom.

If memory serves, Steve Thomas is also suspicious of Sgt. H.H. Stringer because of some bad information he submitted, including an indication that Oswald had been in Cuba.  But since Hoover said the same thing to LBJ immediately after the assassination, this may have been a reference to another LHO.  What for me rules out Stringer as a member of the conspiracy is the fact that he reported that LHO had been arrested in the balcony of the Texas Theater.  Had he been part of the plot against Oswald, I doubt that would have been allowed to happen.

My prior suspicions were not about Sgt. H.H. Stringer, but of Detective Stringfellow.

Ukraine has become a graveyard for Russians — and for modern weapons systems

by Lucian K. Truscott IV, Salon April 02, 2022

https://www.rawstory.com/r-2657082991/

“If there is one image that will symbolize forever this war, it will be a blown-up Russian tank, its treads sagging and its turret tilted, rusting by the side of the road in Ukraine.”

 

“But here is the real deal: The NLAW disposable missile costs around $25,000, and the Javelin rocket launcher system costs about $180,000 and fires a missile that costs around $75,000. Both rocket launchers are being used in Ukraine to destroy tanks that cost upwards of $2 million each. The cost differential is obvious. It's even better when you consider the RPG-7, which costs around $1,000 and fires missiles that can cost as little as $100 each. (Costs can go up to as much as $500 for RPG warheads when they use armor piercing or air-burst technology.) Their cost-effectiveness is amazing when you consider that they're being used to knock out Russian APCs costing more than $1 million each. In Iraq, the same RPGs were used by insurgents to bring down American Apache and Blackhawk helicopters that cost between $6 million and $13 million each, depending on the model and year of manufacture.”

“The cost differential between the ground-based Stingers and expensive Russian air force jets is enormous, which is why Russia has failed to achieve air superiority despite its far better equipped air force and army helicopter units. They have been reluctant to put them in the air, knowing Ukrainians with Stingers are waiting for them on the ground.”

Jim,

Since Oswald wasn't arrested until the 1:40 - 1:50 time frame, it's hard to see how Biggio or Stringfellow could have been calling anyone about the Hidell name before 2:00 PM, unless the Hidell ID came from the wallet found at the shooting scene.

Ausin and San Antonio are two different towns. Fort Sam Houston was in San Antonio. If Biggio was calling Austin, that would probably have been the Texas Department of Public Safety, i. the State Police. Now, either Biggio mis=spoke,. Golz got it wrong, or Biggio/Strinfellow were trying to hide or mask their connection to Military Intelligence (U.S. Army Reserve)

Biggio or Stringfellow going around the local 112th in Dallas is significant, I think.. There's a pipeline of information flow that we don't know anything about.

A new article, co-authored by John Armstrong and David Josephs, discusses this and other aspects of….

The Pre-Arranged Murder of Oswald

Jim,

Just a little side note....

The article says, "

“Minutes after Oswald was arrested something very unusual happened. An unidentified person from the Dallas Police Department contacted Army Intelligence Lt. Colonel Robert E. Jones, the Operations Officer of the 112th INTC group in San Antonio.”

 

I don't think the person from the DPD is unidentified.

Stringfellow and Biggio were working the police radio at the Fairgrounds on 11/22/63

Stringfellow and Biggio were both Detectives in the DPD’s Special Service Bureau

“Army Apparently didn't tell Commission of Oswald's Alias” by Earl Golz

Dallas Morning News March 19, 1978

in the Weisberg Collection

“However, Biggio, who was directing police intelligence communications at the Fair Park office the day of the assassination, said, "We called down to Austin after we got the name Hidell, I believe, and they came back with that information."

“Don Stringfellow, a fellow police intelligence officer working with Biggio at the Fair Park office, was named as the source of information in a secret cable the night of Nov. 22 from Army intelligence in Texas to the U.S. Strike Command at MacDill AirForce Base in Florida. The cable said that information "obtained from Oswald revealed that he had defected to Cuba in 1959 and is a card-carrying member of the Communist Party.”

(In his article, Golz has this slightly wrong. The cable in question actually went from Washington to McDill AFB).

So, who exactly did the police have in custody?

Continuing with Golz's article...

“(Lieutenant Colonel, Roy) Pate, the Army intelligence commander in Dallas, said his group was getting information soon after the assassination fromboth the Dallas police and the FBI, but the cable using Stringfellow as a source "did not originate in Dallas because my only reporting channels in the Army were to the112th in San Antonio."

 

Biggio and Stringefellow did not go go through the local Dallas office of the 112^th, but went directly to the 112^th Headquarters at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio.
