Denis Morissette Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 This is a great source of very early material from the Dallas Times Herald before they even printed their first edition of their November 22, 1963 newspaper. It took me several hours to copy them at the Dallas Central Public Library. Lucky you, you’ve got them for free. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1M579IE0NLpX3Ry-PxP03r6GNGZp9HoRz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Gram Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I just flipped through it briefly but looks like there’s some really interesting stuff in there. Great find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great find. Yes. I’m guessing that these notes are what the editor, his name is in one of the pages, was told over the phone by his reporters.

Denis Morissette Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 My Dallas research trip last November was really worth the money I spent. Next time I’ll go if the 6FM Research Room is open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Doudna Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) DISREGARD WHAT ORIGINALLY WAS HERE--IT IS OBSOLETE. CLEARER PHOTOS CLEARLY SHOW THE READING IS "STREET DRESS" (as pointed out below by Jean-Paul Ceulemans and confirmed by the clear photos now provided by Denis Morissette).

A serious researcher would offer to pay Denis for his great find, otherwise he might end up complaining about the expensive food at his grocery store.

I did complain at the supermarket. Soon enough, we’ll have to eat only twice a day because food is now so expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean Ceulemans Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) 6 hours ago, Greg Doudna said: Thank you Denis Morissette for your work on this! The last line of image #437 reads: “Jean Hill said I though [sic] I saw someone in the motorcade in street DRAIN shoot back at the person running up the hill”. From my memory of reading her later book, I recall her saying she thought she saw Secret Service shooting back at a Grassy Knoll shooter, but I recall no reference of Jean Hill speaking of a storm drain. Then image #441 seems oddly to repeat the same news story of Jean Hill with slight rewrite of wording, and the parallel there reads: ”I thought I saw someone in the motorcade in street {•re•t} (?) shoot back at a person moving up the hill.” What does the word after “street” in #441 read? The word is NOT “drain”. Is the word “crack” or “break”? Can anyone decipher that word? Why does it read “drain” in one iteration (reading Jean Hill saw someone in “street drain” shooting “back” at someone on the GKnoll), whereas in the parallel, the “drain” is gone and replaced with some other word (which I cannot make out)? What was going on with that? Why two versions of the same Jean Hill news story? Is this a heretofore-unknown first-day witness claim to have seen a shooter firing out of a storm drain? Was that Jean Hill news story published? Thanks to anyone who can explain this little mystery! I think it leads to a man in plain clothing, it is confusing, would come from street dress(ing).

Denis Morissette Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 (edited) One article on Moorman and Hill is based on these notes. I also included a Fort Worth Press article. https://postimg.cc/gallery/Z9Xvfry Edited April 25 by Denis Morissette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denis Morissette Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 I asked Darwin Payne of the DTH who was probably one of the sources of these notes. He recently published a book on the JFK assassination. He didn’t have much to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
