Paul Brancato Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I ask this question of you mr. Caddy in hopes that you know the answer. I believe that Hunt denied it, but he did admit some involvement in the assassination. What, in your view was Hunt's role, if any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Caddy Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Paul: None of the tramps looked like E. Howard Hunt in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Walton Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 For what it's worth - I agree. None of them look like the people they've been depicted to be (Hunt, Sturgis, and Harrelson). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ecker Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Mr. Caddy, I think this was more likely Hunt. Even trying to look like the spook that he was. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Schmidt Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I've always thought if Hunt was in Dealey Plaza that day, the picture above is him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Caddy Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 The photo bears a strong resemblance to Hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathleen Collins Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Douglas, this is a rare time when I disagree with you. First It looks like Hunt is the tramp. And Harrelson is there, smirking and having a urine stain on his pant leg. The other man's identity has never been satisfied. He definitely is not Sturgis. The man in the raincoat attire looks like Hunt also. Supposedly Hunt said he was in the postal annex (I think it's called) on a high floor watching the assassination with binoculars. I don't know which is true, if either. But there is a tramp photo where Dorothy Hunt, Howard's wife, is in the picture with her hand to her mouth as if shocked while looking at the 3 tramps. The 2 of them in the same picture. Kathy C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's shocked because she thinks she's seeing the cops arresting the perps. You can see her in other photos outside the TSBD. She's not even looking at the old tramp. If it were Dorothy and Howard - why would Dorothy be shocked? She was an intel pro. I agree that Howard Hunt is not the old tramp. I have strong leanings toward accepting the tall tramp as Charles Harrelson, though. I, too, have wondered about that lackadaisical, hatted figure crossing the street in the Cancellare photo - wondered if it is Hunt. It's important in the Dealey pix to keep an eye out for persons who look like they're from out of town. There are few men in raincoats in the photos - other than Danny Arce, and the policemen who apparently expected a long day, chance of rain. It's also interesting that Tall Tramp and Foreign Tramp look like they bought their polo shirts in the same place.

David Andrews Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) The photo bears a strong resemblance to Hunt. Doug, does that man look like Hunt walking? Gait, posture, hands in pockets? His shoulder line? Did he favor that style of car coat? Edited March 20, 2016 by David Andrews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James DiEugenio Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Oh please, let us not start all this again. Photo analysis is so unreliable unless you have a very good close up shot, which this is not. I mean I have seen so many of these go down the drain--as in the three CIA guys at the Ambassador--that I never want to go through it again. IMO, the tramps were who the documents said they were. Gedney etc. RIchard Sprague was wrong about this, and Jim Garrison should never have promoted it on Carson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Andrews Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Doin' my best here, Jim. That damn well looks like Harrelson. And of all the so-and-so's who claim to have been there, I credit CVH the most. I would still like to hear Doug Caddy on further resemblances between Hunt and the street crossing man in Cancellare.

Ron Ecker Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 That damn well looks like Harrelson. He doesn't look like Harrelson to me. He looks more like a young Gedney, which makes me think that's probably who he was. I guess it goes to show that resemblance, to borrow from an old expression, is in the eye of the beholder.

Paul Brancato Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 I think I should rephrase my question. Mr. Caddy - to your knowledge, as Hunt's watergate era lawyer, was Hunt involved in the assassination of JFK? Was he in Dealey Plaza that day? I realize you may have no info at all. Perhaps Hunt never spoke of it to you. But given that the Watergate arrests led directly to Nixon being worried about 'the whole Bay of Pigs thing', which according to Haldeman referred to the JFK assassination, its natural to assume Hunt was involved and probably there, whether we actually have a picture of him there or not.

Paul Brancato Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 When added to the cash payoff and subsequent plane crash which killed Dorothy Hunt, to Hunt's confessions to his son, and to his involvement with Cuban exiles it seems an important question.
