John Geraghty Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I found this video on Webermans site http://www.ajweberman.com/realtramp1.htm . From the file name one would assume that this is a video of the three tramps. Does anybody know anything about this? Perhaps Alan can enlighten me himself. Are the tramps in the background towards the end of the footage? Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First few seconds pans the doorway of TBSD, then a dark color street scene, then black and white video of aftermath with an escorted "perp walk" going on across the street. W What fascinated me is the fact that this little gem is compiled from three different film stocks, but combined only give us 11 seconds, and dimly reproduced at that. So where are the full length high fidelity sources, that is the question I would ask myself, john. shanet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(John Woods)Hi John, Nice to see you posting. Probably showing my ignorance here, but can I ask who Alan Rhodes is? James It only resembles the tramps situation in the resolution version I saw. What other arrest does it more closely resemble? Who is in the foreground? Jim Hicks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Richards Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Thanks, John. Terrific information. I'd love to see one of those FBI flyers. If you have trouble posting it here, send it to me and I can post it for you. Cheers, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack White Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I talk to Alan Rhodes by telephone several months ago and proivded some interesting insight following the assassination. (John Woods) Hi John, Nice to see you posting. Probably showing my ignorance here, but can I ask who Alan Rhodes is? James Hi James, Alan was one of the eighteen members of the group. One of the most famous stills is the individual frame taken from the film footage believe to be showing the assassins rifle. Besides Alan and John you had Albert Benell, Bryant Boren, Rudy Brenk, Joe Brown, Anita Gewertz and her son Martin, W.C. Gray, Frances Hayes, George Kincaid, Earl Mentesasa, Earl Mester, Wyman Parr, Howard Seigler, George Shawver, mr. Speigle and Larry Thomas. Sadly, Martin underexposed the film footage in the Plaza which would be most interesting. Alan told me that they were in up against the FBI in making copies for their own personal use. If you recall, the FBI had flyers place inside all the process film envelopes asking the photographer to contact the local FBI office. I have one of those original flyers if you would like to see it. Hopefully, one day I can return you the favor and send you a copy of my book for all your help should I ever get another publisher Glad to hear from you! John w PS I do have a number of slides made from the DCA film. From selected slides I made prints. As you can assume, from 16mm to slides and than prints we are losing quality. I will try and post a few of these images in the near future if warranted. Here is the film notice. Back then I received several of these with my slide processing, but not realizing that they might later be significant, I do not think I saved any of them...at least I have never come across one. Someone posted this copy on a forum. It is just like the ones in my slides in 63 and 64. As I recall, the dragnet lasted about three months.

John Geraghty Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 BTW, it has been long assume that this footage shows the arrest of the Three Trampswhen in reality it shows another arrest? in progress. Hi John, Just to clarify, this is not footage of the 'three tramps' as we know them from other photos. This is a seperate group yes?
