My guess is that “Oswald” asked for Warren DeBrueys, who was apparently unavailable at that moment. Remember that Orestes Pena, owner of the Habana Bar, and his bartender Evarist Rodriguez, both swore that “Oswald” and Pena met at the bar on a couple of occasions.
DeBrueys, of course, moved from New Orleans to Dallas and back to New Orleans coincident with “Oswald’s” arrival in the Crescent City, his return to Dallas, and then his murder.
Was DeBrueys “Oswald’s” FBI contact?
Probably.
You are correct.
I KNEW I read it somewhere. In Someone Would Have Talked (Larry Hancock) says:
"This is substantiated by the fact that NOPD Lt. Martello was given de Brueys name by Lee Oswald, and specifically asked to contact him to visit Oswald after his arrest." (p. 283)
The author cites Joan Mellen's work and in her book A Farewell to Justice, she says :
"...so now he handed Martello a note on a piece of paper torn from his notebook. Its reverse side included the Moscow telephone numbers of United Press International and the Associated Press.
"Oswald pointed to a number scribbled at the top of the note. 'Just call the FBI," Oswald told Martello. 'Tell them you have Lee Oswald in custody. When they arrive, hand them this note.' Oswald added that he wished to be visited by a particular agent: Warren de Brueys." (p.59)
Ms. Mellen cites a January 12, 2000 interview with William Walter and L.J. Delsa for the story about Oswald asking for de Brueys.
I KNEW I read it somewhere.

My handwriting has changed over time - mainly because I rarely write in cursive any longer - but my signature is fairly consistent.
While there are some variations in the O and s connections & in the letter H, that could still just be natural variations in a person's handwriting. I think what strikes me the most here is that his signature is so legible.

That would have created a mess for the authorities, and perhaps saved his life. Had his public comment come later in the game, I wonder if that would have occurred to him.
"In the afternoon Oswald contacted the FBI office in New Orleans, while SA
John Lester Quigley was on duty. The Bureau is not known to dispatch agents to inter-
view people who have been thrown in jail for disturbing the peace, yet SA Quigley vis-
ited Oswald in jail on a Saturday afternoon. Before he left the office Quigley asked FBI
employee William Walter to see if the Bureau had a file on Oswald. Walter found a file
which carried an "informant" classification and the name SA Warren DeBrueys as his
contact." [H&L, p. 566]. . . .
After leaving court Oswald walked to the New Orleans States-Item and asked
reporter David Chandler to write a story about his arrest and his involvement with the
FPCC. When Chandler told Oswald they (the States-Item) were not in sympathy with
him or his ideas, Oswald told Chandler that everyone had a right to their individual
thoughts.37 A newspaper article would have enhanced Oswald's image as a supporter of Fidel
Castro! [H&L, p. 569]Thanks! I could have sworn that I read somewhere that Oswald requested to speak to a specific FBI agent, and since he wasn't available Quigley came instead. I must be thinking of something else I read.

Those are all good questions.
Oswald spent the night in jail in New Orleans, right? I thought it would be standard procedure when a person was arrested then and kept in a cell to confiscate their personal belongings.

Do you have the ordering information for this?

When arrested in New Orleans, Oswald asked to speak to someone from the FBI. I know he spoke with Quigley, but didn't he ask to speak to someone else first?
I'm just thinking what a conversation that must have been in Dallas and wondering if he asked to speak to a specific FBI agent there. If so, it didn't work in his favor. Hosty was told by his superiors to leave Oswald alone after the first interrogation, yes?

This is fascinating! 🙂

He does resemble Milteer. But the pictures seem to be of a different aged man. One picture is well blurred, the other a good bit clearer. Then the balding vs hair, parted. Maybe he was wearing a toupee in the second picture. I've long thought it was him between the resemblance and his "from an office building with a high powered rifle" advance statement. He had prior knowledge somehow, hated JFK, and wanted to be there to see it. JMO.
I agree that there's a resemblance, but I don't think that those two men are the same person. Just opinion. I'm no photo analyst.
But are any of the people standing near him identified? This man seems to be standing by himself, not with friends, family or coworkers.

It's a bit high dollar to purchase otherwise. Confidential information?
Woah. That is a lot. You can find the hardcover for slightly less here

There are certain categories of people who will believe what is seen here is a shadow effect and not an image overlay. These are Lone Nuts, secret Lone Nuts, fools, the pent-x( can't use this word for a creature living under a bridge and later comes out to harass) and the quad-x (Can't use that word either. This is a person who distorts reality with their false statements.)
This is a clear case of image alteration and anyone who says differently has an agenda to distort the truth.
-raises hand-
Sorry, but I don't understand and am asking an honest question here. I know next to nothing about photo analysis of these pictures. I see a photo with a tire. I see that it looks odd. What is it that I am supposed to be seeing or not seeing?

Absolutely!

In Mrs. Kennedy's WC testimony she said:
"Mr. RANKIN. Now, do you remember as you turned off of the main street onto Houston Street?
Mrs. KENNEDY. I don't know the name of the street.
Mr. RANKin. That is that one block before you get to the Depository Building.
Mrs. KENNEDY. Well, I remember whenever it was, Mrs. Connally said, "We will soon be there." We could see a tunnel in front of us. Everything was really slow then. And I remember thinking it would be so cool under that tunnel."Which would make it seem like she'd seen the Triple Overpass and registered it at some level in her mind, so I have no idea how to explain Mrs. Kennedy's statement referenced with the blue-gray building. Then again, I am not sure which interview she gave first - the Warren Commission testimony or the interview cited above. In her WC testimony, she was clearly unfamiliar with the area and its streets/buildings. Either way, being in the middle of a shooting, I would not hold it against her to have first mentally registered the Overpass as a tunnel and then re-registered it again as something different when she caught it out of the corner of her eye in the middle of the shooting.
While I question many parts of the official story, I am not convinced that there is sufficient evidence to doubt the location of the shooting.

Was there an E book version?
Yes. I downloaded it on my Kindle.

I wonder about noises like the 4 escort Harley's that may have muffled rifle shots. The position of the escorts relative to the witness when the shot occured may explain something. There has to be a reason or reasons those people did not hear 3 shots. Many witness also said the early shot sounded like firecrackers. One thing the witness statements show is folks in Dallas were very educated on firearms. statements like"I was going out at lunch to pick up my gun from the gunsmith. Or I was buying ammo etc. One woman who was sitting in her car with her children saw a guy run out the rear of the TSBD and she said he had a rifle "Not some bolt action thing, this was a high powered automatic with a scope" That is a very rough paraphrase but you get the idea. So many heard firecrackers you have to wonder about it. the Carcano ammo was known to misfire, maybe it was that, or maybe firecrackers were meant to be a misdirection from a second shooters position.
The Dallas folks being educated on firearms also lends credibility to the last two shots being close together. Many of them demonstrated that they knew the difference between the sonic wave and muzzle blast.Exactly. That has always bothered me. I know that you can't expect consistent statements in a situation like that, but some of the statements were so varied that I've always wondered if it had to do with where people were standing at the time. I always figured somebody had already plotted that out, matching who heard what to where they were standing.

I finished reading it last week. It was interesting.

It would be fascinating to see maps that shows witness locations with the number of shots they heard. If you could add when they heard the shots it would be even better. I just recently considered doing a graphic that shows an overhead of the limo moving along while color coded markers come.and go showing location and timing of the witness accounts. Since most witness reports give less than specific times for each shot you would have to make colored markers appear for multiple frames. I wonder if it may pin down why many witness only heard two shots. It may shed some light on when the shots really happened. It would take a fair amount of work to do this but I might get around.to it.
I always wondered about that. Is there a correlation between where people were physically located at the time they heard the shots and how they heard them/how many shots they heard. Some described the sound like firecrackers. There were reports of those who clearly identified the sounds as shots. Some people reported just three shots. Others said they heard way more shots. And then some reported that what they heard as the second and third shots sounded closer together than the first and second shots.
A visual chart like that might not show anything new, but it would be an interesting thing to look at if somebody else hasn't already done something like that.

I always learn so much from reading your site. Thank you! 🙂

In Joseph McBride's Into the Nightmare, it says -
"A bullet was reported in the press at the time to have lodged in the president's throat or lung; the bullet in the throat 'ranged downward in his chest and did not exit,' the New York Times quoted Dr. Kemp Clark, the attending neurosurgeon at Parkland Hospital, as saying on November 26, 1963. The 1968 Ramsey Clark Panel chosen by the Justice Department to examine the official autopsy photographs and X-rays (which themselves contain serious alterations) noted that 'several small metallic fragments' could be seen at the top of the right lung on the X-rays; autopsy photographs of the interior of Kennedy's chest are missing from the National Archives." (page 564)

I am always learning something new about this. This is a good thread.

Small world. I did not realize that Fred Korth represented Marguerite Oswald's second husband in their divorce proceedings.
-
I'm not sure which book is considered the original one here, but I read The Reporter Who Knew Too Much by Mark Shaw. I didn't think it gave anything new that couldn't be located elsewhere.

1979 assassination attempt on President Jimmy Carter
in JFK Assassination Debate
Posted · Edited by Stephanie Goldberg
Okay, I totally was not aware of any of this. Woah.
[Edit to add:]
So I started reading up on this and realized that John Hinckley, Jr. had been allegedly arrested at the Nashville airport on a weapons charge when Carter was still President and in town that day.
