Not being a reader of Robert Caro's LBJ books I must ask;

How does he cover the almost unbelievable, ultimate Texas style corruption action of LBJ in getting his protege Mac Wallace off practically scot-free ( with an LBJ controlled presiding Judge's intervention ) from a "murder with malice" jury arrived murder conviction? 

That corrupt power play by LBJ alone deserves a place in the annals of "greatest acts of criminal trial injustice in American History."

Obviously, LBJ had to exercise his full power of Texas influence corruption to prevent Mac Wallace from being thrown into prison for years. I think Phil Nelson and Doug Caddy have adequately explained why.

Murder of John Douglas Kinser[edit]

On October 22, 1951, in Austin, John Douglas Kinser, a 33-year-old sophomore student at the University of Texas, was shot to death in the clubhouse of the Pitch and Putt Golf Course that he operated.^[9] Immediately after the first shot, one golfer outside the clubhouse observed a man inside holding a revolver.^[9] He heard two or three additional shots after leaving to attract the attention of three other golfers on the course.^[9] The three golfers on the course observed the man running from the clubhouse and getting into his car, and one of them noted the car's make and license plate number.^[9] The men ran to the clubhouse where they found Kinser's body, then telephoned the police who radioed the car's description and license information to state and city patrol cars.^[9] Three patrolmen with the Texas Highway Patrol spotted then stopped the car nine miles from Austin on the Burnet Highway.^[9] According to one of the patrolmen, the driver perfectly fit the description provided by the golfers and his shirt was torn and bloodied.^[9] The suspect and witness were taken to the headquarters of the Austin Police Department for questioning.^[9]

Wallace was identified as the man leaving the scene with a snubnosed pistol, and three bullet shells were found near Kinser's body.^[7] He was arrested by highway patrolmen on the Burnet Highway shortly after the shooting.^[7] Detectives revealed no motive in the killing as Wallace refused to answer their questions.^[7] He was charged the following day with murder and the Justice of the peace set bail at $30,000.^[7]

Two days after the killing, the district attorney accused the local sheriff of "obstructing the investigation" stating that he had refused to transport Wallace to the Texas Department of Public Safety for identification testing.^[10] According to the sheriff, Wallace protested the move and his defense attorney, Polk Shelton, had asked that Wallace not be moved.^[10] Wallace was represented at the trial by John Cofer, longtime lawyer to Lyndon Johnson, who had also represented LBJ during his contested election to the United States Senate in 1948 that was tainted by allegations of voter fraud.^[11]

During the trial, FBI special agent Joseph L. Schott stated that he had known Wallace for 12 years and in 1946 had given Wallace a German-made 6.35 mm Schmeisser automatic pistol that he (Schott) had acquired while serving in the United States Army in Germany.^[12] A firearms expert for the Department of Public Safety testified that the slugs and shells from the murder scene could have been fired from the Schmeisser.^[12] A chemist/toxicology expert, also with the Department of Public Safety, said that a paraffin test on Wallace's hands tested positive for gunshot residue and that blood on his shirt matched blood found at the club house at the golf course.^[12]

Testimony was completed on February 25, 1952, and Judge Charles O' Betts recessed court in order to finalize the jury instructions prior to closing arguments.^[13] The prosecution did not attempt to establish a motive for the shooting, nor did it produce an eyewitness to it or the murder weapon.^[13] The following day, the prosecution and defense completed their closing arguments and the jury was charged that afternoon.^{[14][nb 1]} After deliberating into the evening, the jury was sequestered within the courthouse dormitory.^[14] After listening to 29.5 hours of testimony from 23 different witnesses, on February 27 the jury returned its verdict finding Wallace guilty of "murder with malice".^[15] After a short recess, O' Betts sentenced Wallace to a five-year sentence that was suspended.^[11][15] Questioned as to why the prosecution did not attempt to provide a motive, defense attorney Polk Shelton stated that it was "probably because they couldn't."^[15] Kinser's sister-in-law later stated that Kinser was killed because he had been having an affair with Wallace's wife.^[3] Other sources say that both Kinser and Wallace had been having simultaneous affairs with Josefa Johnson, sister of Lyndon Baines Johnson.^[16]

What do you make of the postscript asking for donations for a trip to see a surgeon for a mysterious illness? Up until that point I was on board.

Unfortunately, Joe, the short answer is: "He didn't." 

He has not covered that trial in any of his four volumes on LBJ, the last of which brought him to the end of 1963. 

Within those 4 tomes there is no mention of any of the following names:  Mac Wallace, Josefa Johnson, Judge Charles O. Betts, or DA Robert Long or anyone else connected to that crime and trial, which was widely reported in the local newspapers.  He must have felt (or was instructed) that this little incident had no bearing on LBJ's skyrocketing career.  Perhaps the reason for that so many other names are either missing (e.g. Billie Sol Estes or Madeleine Brown, for example) or referenced only as it pertained to their ordinary duties -- for example Cliff Carter, who of course isn't linked to his real job, of being Mac Wallace's supervisor, but some arcane other stuff.  Let us not forget that Barefoot Sanders (once the U.S. attorney who was sent to supervise the 1962 grand jury on Henry Marshall's (another unmentionable name) murder to ensure that it did not fix the ludicrous "suicide" C.O.D.  

As I've pointed out in another blog HERE, there are so many things that Caro threw into the ditch along the way that his famous line about "turning every page" is nothing but a joke (at least for anyone expecting to find real truths about this subject).

Absolutely agree.

Caro's credibility regards chronicling "the full truth" of LBJ's corruption is glaringly diminished by leaving these LBJ involved darkest deeds facts, incidents and personal connections out of his bio's imo.

It's disturbingly cringing to see the generally accepted bio's of LBJ depicting him as something less than a totally corrupt man. 

Look...we all know LBJ was corrupt to the deepest core and highest degree.

LBJ "Great Society" promoting/corruption downplaying historical textbooks are an obscene shame and educational injustice to our future generations and entire society. 

Time to grow up and leave the childishly naive "Wizard Of Oz" false reality world and face and accept the full corrupt truth about LBJ.

I must confess that I experienced a similar dissonant vibe, Maestro Brancato.

[Paul Brancato]

I’m reminded of MacBird. I’m not sure I agree with my own prior conclusion, but for what it’s worth my Coup D’Etat 36 trading card set ended with LBJ.

OK, that's understandable, given the circumstances. 

All I can say about that is I have now corresponded with Chad (who's 44 years old) for about 16 months (less half of that, as I encouraged him to proceed with a manuscript, during which I wanted to leave him alone so that he'd have time to work on it).  It was not until recently that I learned that he lost his job several years ago and, having spent all of his savings while assisting his mother in her child-care business, he manages to just "get by."

When I recently decided to assist him in doing a "Fund Me" account I erred in several ways, firstly picking "GoFundMe" which, for many reasons, I later decided was a mistake (SEE HERE). Another one was that I thought, of his two major health issues, that his severe case of peripheral vision (but only to one side -- the left -- in both eyes, a unique condition that no eye doctor he's seen had ever encountered before) was the one he needed to be diagnosed. 

It was not the priority he had in mind, however, that one, he says, he can live with. 

It was the other health problem he feels must be remedied, due to the probability that it may significantly shorten his life if it isn't:  It something affecting his adrenal glands that must be diagnosed by a specialist in that part of medicine. He had been to an oncologist, who had never seen anything like it, then an endocrinologist who Chad has visited several times over the last year has also not been able to determine the cause.  That doctor advised Chad to get an appointment with specialists at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.  Chad does have Medicade coverage, however, he has been advised that the Mayo Clinic will only accept Minnesota residents under that program.  Thus, the need for him have financial help if he is ever going to have any chance of surviving this condition. 

I've asked him to join the EF and post some thoughts and documentation of his situation.       

I urged him to cancel that one and refund everything a half dozen or so folks had already ponied up. 

Before all of that, when I had to explain to my wife why I needed to lead this effort and make a significant contribution (Chad isn't expecting, or even hoping that anyone else contribute as much--and, BTW, I had to talk him into this approach, he definitely was very reluctant to do this).  My wife and I are both renowned penny-pinchers from way back -- we've always agreed that any expenditure over $25 or so must be ok'd by the other one, since she has been the actual "breadwinner" around here since my retirement 20 years ago -- and I explained to her why I believed in Chad and his story, which can be summed up thusly: 

Because, if ever there were actual stories that qualify for the "you can't make that up!" category, this was it.   

I honestly think that most other readers will be absolutely blown away by Chad's story when it is published. 

For the others (the complement of the "most") this book will at the very least get their attention in a big and undeniable way.   Of course, some of them may still cling to the fairy stories about the great, generous and magnanimous liberal image drawn by Robert Caro (and Doris Kearns-Goodwin, Michael Beschloss, Mark Updegrove, Jack Valenti and countless others) -- except for Bill Moyers, who refuses to publish the volume he had previously promised to write, probably because he can't, without running the risk of self-incrimination.  

This book will be a very detailed, documented account, not only about his story of RFK's two interactions with his family (first recruiting Milt Good in 1960; second recruiting Good's nephew Harold Elder in 1961-2 to assist in the Billie Sol Estes investigation), but also a fascinating "old west" set of stories revealing a history of Mr. Good's life as a West Texas rancher who won the World Rodeo Championship in 1921, then, after falling in with a no-account neighbor, wound up in prison, convicted of murder and given a 55 year sentence.  He eventually became friendly with the warden, who then promoted Milt to be, not only his personal chauffer, but the chief "mail reader" of the entire prison.  That role put him into direct touch with the legendary Texas Ranger Frank Hamer, and assisted him in catching the rambling lover-robbers Bonnie and Clyde. 

Directly as a result of that, Hamer then arranged with then-governor "Ma" Ferguson to give Milt a pardon, which she did, taking 43 years off of that sentence.   Hamer then hired this ex-convict to work as a special investigator for the Texas Rangers[!]

I found all of that very fascinating, but it wasn't until I read his own story that I knew immediately that Chad was "the real deal." A short excerpt of that piece follows, explaining an incident that occurred during his long search of West Texas/East New Mexico libraries, museums and personal visits to various people's homes . . .

______________________________________________________

EXCERPT - Chad Mills Intro:

     On May 26, 2016, my uncle Doug drove from Austin (a 6hr drive) so we could have a day of research on our uncles (in my case, it was related to my great uncle Harold Elder and my great-grand uncle Milt Good).

     We decided to start off by making a trip to the Southwest Collection on the campus of Texas Tech in Lubbock, TX. When we arrived there we were flooded with a treasure trove of information regarding every aspect of their lives. The courtroom testimony alone on the 1923 self-defense murders was roughly one thousand pages. After sifting through the mountain of documents over several hours we were shocked to find out at the front desk that we were only allowed to take a small fraction of what we needed. The price for that small amount we were allowed totaled $400.00! Total bust!

     What a waste! we thought.

     We had learned a tough lesson that day about research. Depression set in as we passed the Lubbock [Population 201,191 City Limit] sign for the 120-mile ride back home. I was even more dejected than him. It was like having a dream come true in the palm of my hands only to have it snatched away. I reclined the seat back and with the heat bearing down on us, I turned up the A/C and readied to take a nap.

     An hour into our drive home we pulled into Seagraves, Texas. I was well into some good sleep when Doug jerked the wheel. My head lurched hard left into his right shoulder. I said to him "what are we doing?”

     I knew everything was fine when he calmly responded in a typical West Texas accent... "sign bacck ‘derr said museum .... we haven't had any luck today, couldn't hurt to try't.” One half second longer upon making the decision to veer and we would've missed that turn. He just as easily could’ve kept the wheel straight, staying on the direct route, straight home, ending our miserable day.

     One block down the street we pulled up to the museum and parked. As we stepped onto the sidewalk we looked at the front door which showed open and walked inside with 5 minutes left before closing time. As soon as we stepped in I looked to the right and an older man dressed in white was seated quietly reading an antique newspaper on a bench. A lovely woman walked up and greeted us.

     "Hello, my name is Leslie . . . is there anything in particular I can help you guys find?"

     My uncle Doug went on to tell her about the quest to find out more information on a relative of ours by the name Milt Good. She thought she had heard the name before and gave a quick look in her records but came up empty. I was not surprised; the day was filled with bad luck, and it seemed that this was the capper.

     We thanked her and we started to walk out the door, Doug leading me back out so I would not go blindsiding into any of the ornate antiques. I caught another glance at the man sitting on the bench by the exit and a voice echoed a whisper in my ear... “ask her about the Elder’s.” My great uncle, who RFK approached in 1961-2 to testify against Billie Sol Estes, was named Harold Elder. He died in 2013. Coincidentally he was originally from Seagraves. I turned around and asked her pointedly...

     "Do you have any information on Harold Elder?"

     After a slightly less than awkward pause she responded, slowly saying... "My grandfather married an Elder, his last name was Stanfield”

     I was not sure what went through my uncle Doug's mind, but my first thought was: Wow, this is amazing, we are probably distant cousins. I had no clue. What happened next gives me chills and I’m tearing up even now writing this two years later.

     My uncle paused, then responded by saying...  “My biological dad was Les Stanfield."

     The truest expression of shocked disbelief instantly and very visibly washed across her face. Leslie turned beet red, tears covered by trembling hands welled up then streamed down her face. She spun around as to start running away but as she went to take the first hurried step paused, turned back facing him direct and stiff as a statue looked Doug in the eyes and with a face that I will never forget she said...

     "Doug. You. Are. My. BROTHER!”

     Doug, his facial expression in a frozen smile, with no hesitation at all, magnanimously said:

     “Well come over here and give me a hug Sis!”

     It almost brought me to tears at that moment.  Two seconds later after my brain processed all of this and the fact that she was MY aunt hit me, the tears streamed down my face.  They stepped to each other and embraced in a hug.

    On the way out, I glanced at the man on the bench dressed in white; my face full of tears now, he said, with his eyes looking straight thru me...

    “He works in mysterious ways”

    “YES HE DOES!,” I said.

correction of a point

[Joe Bauer]

True or not...the Chad Mills story above is a compelling read.

One time years ago, one of our members posted a suggestion that others join him in helping me financially, especially to fund a trip to Dealey Plaza.

For some reason he was inspired to do this touching magnanimous act for me.

This member was retired from some type of theatrical career. In New York City I think.

He was not in good health himself at the time of his posted project of helping me and getting me to Dallas.

This wonderfully well meaning fellow sadly passed away maybe 6 months to a year later?

His "Lets Help Joe" posting was met with some derision by a few other members.

Surprisingly only two or three however. And nothing came of it regards any funds collected and sent.

Of course, as soon as my friend first posted his "Go Fund Joe" message I immediately personally e-mailed him and after offering him the most sincere thank yous, told him that I was okay. I could very easily live without going to that sacred ground JFK killing place, Dealey Plaza.

I think I even posted this message on our forum pages. I was a little embarrassed even regards the original post.

But, to this day I have never forgotten this incredibly thoughtful and generous member and his kind wishes for me.

And I do not think anything like what happened to me regarding one member seeking some well meaning shared assistance for another, or even someone else in the JFK truth seeking community is anything but moral and good.

I think the forum can withstand such an act of kindness ( rarely posted-maybe once every few years?) without worrying whether this is a flagrant violation of Forum rules that threatens the integrity and main focus of it's purpose and goal.

Just my 2 cents.

That was definitely a nice gesture to you.  I do hope that someday circumstances will allow you to visit Dealey Plaza.  That was always a bucket list thing for me and finally, last year, I made the trip at age 67.  It was quite the awe inspiring experience.

Honestly Dan...I really don't want to personally see Dealey Plaza, the fence behind the grassy knoll, the TXSBD building and even the DPD building basement entrance anymore.

At this older age and bad health point in my life, I've got enough to deal with here where I live in just those areas alone.

And I honestly believe being right there in that surreal nightmare like living JFK tomb would bring out deep feelings of sadness.

Sadness that my spirit just doesn't want to take on. 

Not only sadness regards JFK's savage/brutal death and imagining the monstrous entire rest of life traumatizing horror and pain Jackie Kennedy went through...but a sadness that our nation, our society had something so good, so hopeful and even sacred taken from us at that exact spot on 11,22,1963.

And a sadness in realizing the perpetrators were never exposed and brought to justice.

They got away with it.

America could have been so much more all these last 59 years.

Chad Mills, still awaiting confirmation that his membership application is approved, asked me yesterday to post this in his behalf:

____________________________________________________________

“I can appreciate how one might question the reasoning behind linking to a crowdfunding page to try and raise money, especially when so many across the nation are struggling to make ends meet themselves.

However in this case I can confirm that this condition is deadly serious.  I am prepared to release some of  my medical records to confirm the claims I have made.  The first image [to be added by him] shows my lab results regarding the adrenal issue.  The low levels speak for themselves.  They are the lowest levels that my oncologist at University Medical Center has ever seen and he was shocked that I could even walk with numbers that low.  The second image is of my creative kianase numbers which were also the highest that my rheumatologist had ever seen and is only a level found in severe multiple sclerosis patients.   

I travel today to my endocrinologist and am prepared to get notes made, about my mysterious condition, if needed to further prove my illnesses is not one that has been conjured up.   

Where possible I would actually prefer if you can share these files with any medical specialist if it meant getting me to a diagnosis faster as opposed to a donation.

Respectfully, 

-Chad Mills”

It sounds as if all you are asking is for help getting to, be seen and studied and maybe even treated by the Mayo Clinic.

I myself have wished the same thing at times.

The Mayo clinic is a top "research" medical facility. Much, much more specifically equipped and staffed by the best doctors in the country to diagnose and properly treat hard to identify or hard to treat medical maladies.

Most hospitals are treatment facilities versus research ones. Big difference.

Typical health insurance companies are never going to cover such specialized and expensive visits to a facility like the Mayo Clinic.

In this incredibly stressed time ( unprecedented ) for millions of Americans both socially and financially I totally empathize with someone in a grave physical ailment state like you reaching out for any assistance they can find in this pursuit.

How can I get a check ( regretfully small as it may be ) to this person. Can you send me a personal e-mail?

In my mind it sure beats spending the same amount on any number of LBJ corruption white wash bio books.

 

[Phil Nelson]

Chad has asked me to inform readers of this post that he is cancelling the "Fund Me" site. 

As I stated in a previous post, I was the one who thought this up and "sold" him on the idea, since he has lived with these health issues several years and I felt like his dilemma was far more worthy than many that others have used to achieve their goals. Unfortunately, his complex and "undiagnosable" issues (both the eyesight and adrenal problems) did not lend themselves to a short paragraph (2nd time) or a too-lengthy essay (the 1st time).

He feels that God has other plans for him and is confident that he will find some other avenue for getting the medical attention that he needs.  

Anyone wishing, in the future, to inquire about Chad's health can contact me through the Forum and I'll pass it along to him.
