There Was No Shooter on the 6th Floor

The Warren Report authors wanted to have their 6th-floor shooter *and*
their 5th-floor witnesses, too. In order to have both, though, they
first had to explain--or felt that they had to explain--why there
wasn’t a general collision in the vicinity of the 5th-floor stairwell,
as the various exiting parties converged. Hence, this passage (p153):
Oswald’s use of the stairway is consistent with the testimony of other
employees in the building. Three employees--James Jarman Jr., Harold
Norman, and Bonnie Ray Williams--were watching the parade from the 5th
floor, directly below the window from which the shots were fired.
They rushed to the west windows after the shots were fired. While
they were at the west windows, their view of the stairwell was
completely blocked by shelves & boxes. This is the period during
which Oswald would have descended the stairs.

True, a shooter could have run down before or after the west-end rush
(depending on whether the shooter hurried or lingered, respectively),
but the rush was fairly well synched with the most likely time that a
shooter would be clambering down the stairwell. As Williams answered
Joseph Ball’s “Are you able to see the opening of the downstairs from
this view, 492 [the west windows]?”: “No, sir.” (p181)

The west-end charge was perhaps the most consistent element in the
joint testimonies of the three witnesses:

We ran to the west side of the building. (Williams affidavit 11/22/63)
[Williams] & the other 2 then ran to the west end of the building….
(Williams FBI int. 11/23/63)
Jarman said that he & Norman & Williams went to the west side of the
building…. (Jarman FBI int. 11/24/63)
[Norman], Jarman & Williams ran to the other end of the room…. (Norman
FBI int. 11/26/63)
I went to the west side with Williams & Jarman…. (Norman, SS int.
12/4/63)
I ran to the west end of the building…. Hank & Junior also ran to the
west end…. (Williams, FBI int. 3/19/64)
We all decided we would run down to the west side of the building.
(Williams, WC testimony)
We ran to the farthest window facing the expressway. (Norman, WC
testimony)
And so we ran to the west side of the building. (Jarman, WC testimony)

At the hearings, a few retrospective details were added to the basic
west-side run. Williams testified that he led the run: “I left here
& I came like this. The other fellows followed like this.” (v3p177)
And Jarman added that he opened that “farthest window”:
Ball: When you ran down there was the window open or closed?
Jarman: It was closed.
Ball: And who opened it?
Jarman: I did. (v3p205)

Williams concurs. “I believe James Jarman opened the
window.” (v3p177) CE 488 shows the three leaning out said window,
marked “Y“. (Ball: “Now, the other day, when you were up here, you 3
men went to that window & stood there & had your picture taken, did
you not?” Williams: “Yes, sir.” v3p177)

Window “Y” then proved to be objective evidence that the west-side
rush really happened--photos abounded showing “Y” wide open in the
hour after the shooting (e.g., “Pictures of the Pain”, pp460, 471,
499).

Photo & witness evidence, then, seem to be in perfect synch. Ah!
Harmony. But in his 11/23 FBI interview, Williams made an odd gaffe:
Williams stated he & Hank & Junior were standing [at the west windows]
where they would have seen anyone coming down from the 6th floor via
the stairs & that they did not see anyone coming down.
In his Commission testimony, he had to deny that he even said this:
I could not possibly have told him that, because you cannot see
anything coming down [the stairs] from that position (p180).

Certainly, Williams was capable of telling the FBI that, &, if he did,
that would suggest that he was rather hazy, on 11/23/63, re what,
exactly, the view was from the SW corner of the 5th floor. Perhaps,
until the unspecified day of CE 488, he did not realize that the view
of the NW stairs from the SW corner was “completely blocked”. At the
very least, he was forced to retract a part of the original story of
the 5th-floor charge. And it was that retraction, in part, which made
it possible for the WR to conclude that “their view of the stairwell
was completely blocked” during the period that “Oswald would have
descended the stairs”.

But there are a few more parts of the tale of the charge still--in
2008--awaiting retraction. CE 488 is very persuasive: There they
are, the three of them, yes, once again, leaning out that same window
which Jarman opened back in November. Unforcedly, easily, CE 488
makes you think that, yes, it must have happened just like that.

It didn’t.

There are two photos to which the Commission did not have access. In
fact, no one had access to them for decades. It took author Richard
Trask yeoman use of the FOIA, in fact, to finally make them available,
intact, to us, in 1994 (“Pictures of the Pain“ pp259 & 469). But
Trask was apparently unfamiliar with the history of Jarman & Window Y,
& did not realize what he had unearthed.

First: Williams did not lead any *charge*. There he is, still--about
a minute after the shooting--in the second window from the *east*
end. And Window Y, at the west end, is already open! (Powell slide,
p449) Norman & Jarman are not visible at all.

Second: Jarman did not open the westernmost window facing Elm, after
the shooting. Moorman Polaroid #3, taken about 12:26, shows Window Y
already open (p233), well *before* any shot was fired. CE 488 was not
a reconstruction. It was a fabrication. No wonder that there are no
photographs of the trio leaning out the window, on November 22nd, or
of Jarman opening the window! No pictures of them on the west side at
all…. All we have here is their word, & their word is not looking
good.

So, Williams--the day after the assassination--apparently, incorrectly
*guessed* that you could see the stairs from the southwest windows.
And he did not lead the supposed charge to the west end. And he and
Jarman wrongly testified that Jarman opened Window Y after the
shooting. The objective evidence which should have supported the many
witness statements concerning the charge instead succeeded only in
undermining them.

There it is: The photographic *proof* of the charge was in place by
12:26, before it happened, or was supposed to have happened. The
*charge*, then, turns out to be, simply, a vignette developed for the
day of the assassination, a vignette intended to help foster the
illusion that somebody was *up there*, above Williams & co…. somebody
who must have slipped down while they were at the west windows. But
Jarman was not there to open the window, & Williams was not there to
see that you could not see the stairs from the west windows.

Two conclusions:

1) Williams, Norman, & Jarman did not just happen to go to the 5th
floor. An open window was waiting for Jarman & co. for who knows how
long.

2) There was no 6th-floor shooter. If there was no west-end charge,
there was no 6th-floor shooter. The former was supposed to have
precluded a run-in with the latter. Which means that there was no
latter, no chance of a run-in. Anyone from the 5th floor could have
run downstairs--or upstairs--unimpeded, hence the necessity for lying
Window Y….

>>> "The acoustical evidence proves that three shots were fired from the

~~LOL Break~~

The above response by Mr. Anthony Marsh is rich with irony (and
unintentional hilarity).

Of all the wide assortment of different things that prove beyond all doubt
that three shots were, indeed, fired from Oswald's Sniper's Nest on the
6th Floor of the TSBD Building, Tony decides to choose evidence that has
been totally DISCREDITED in virtually every way (the
"acoustical"/Dictabelt) as the best evidence for declaring that "three
shots were fired from the sniper's nest".*

* = I can only assume via his post above that Tony feels that the
"acoustical evidence" (i.e., the hopelessly-flawed and proven-pretty-
much-worthless "DPD Dictabelt" audio recording) is, in fact, the "best
evidence" for proving that three shots came from Oswald's Sniper's Nest.
Because if there was BETTER evidence to prove that three shots came from
the SN, then Tony surely would have utilized that other evidence in his
post above, instead of relying on only the "acoustical evidence". Right,
Tony?

So, Tony's right about the 3 shots from the Nest. But for anyone to think
that the acoustics nonsense is the thing that "proves" that fact more than
all of the other much-better stuff on the table that proves it....is just
laughable.

Actually the acoustical evidence was discredited years ago. There are
NO gunshots on the tape and NO acoustical evidence of shots from
ANYWHERE.

We do know there were shots from SOMEWHERE, but evidence of where the
shots came from must be adduced from sources other than the so-called
acoustic experts. There is no PROOF that any shots were fired from the
sixth floor. The best we can say is that there is SOME evidence pro

The first sentence above is certainly a 100% incorrect statement if
there ever was one.

The 6th-Floor Laundry List:

Howard Brennan.
Bob Jackson.
Mal Couch.
Amos Euins.
Arnold Rowland.
Harold Norman.
James Jarman.
Bonnie Ray Williams.
Many other "Shots Came From The TSBD" witnesses.
Rifle #C2766 found on 6th Floor.
Shells from C2766 found in SN.
CE399 (fired from C2766) found in Parkland.
CE567/569 (fired from C2766) found in limo.

If the above list, in its totality, doesn't add up to "SHOTS WERE
FIRED FROM THE SNIPER'S NEST ON THE SIXTH FLOOR ON NOVEMBER 22", then
it never gets hot in Phoenix.

These items make it APPEAR as though shots were fired from the sixth
floor, but appearances can be deceiving.

Back in the 1970's the ACCOUSTICS and NAA were thought to be dramatic
PROOF that CE399 & 567/569 were NOT PLANTED but they both turned out
to be JUNK SCIENCE.

Again, those are good clues, but not all are hard evidence of that rifle
being fired that day from the sniper's nest. Do not rely on eyewitnesses.
Rely on scientific evidence. The scientific evidence proves that Oswald's
rifle was fired from the sniper's nest.

Actually the acoustical evidence was NOT discredited. Just because you

Isn't the fact that the men on the fifth floor heard the shots above them,
felt dust fall from directly above them as the shots occurred and heard
the casings hitting the floor important missing information here? It's
suprising that you would leave that out as evidence of a sixth floor
shooter while using their testimony to discount a sixth floor shooter.

Those are important clues. But do not RELY on eyewitnesses. Whose
testimony did I discount for "a" sixth floor shooter? Never, no one, no
how. I do not rely on Brennan. Any more than I think Euins was correct
that the shooter was a black man.

If the scientific evidence shows that three shots were fired from the
snipers nest, Occam's Razor suggests that a human fired them. I see no
evidence of any other being to do it or mechanical triggering.

I'm not only relying on witnesses here. I'm also relying on these
things (hard, physical evidence) from my previous Laundry List:

Rifle #C2766 found on 6th Floor.
Shells from C2766 found in SN.
CE399 (fired from C2766) found in Parkland.
CE567/569 (fired from C2766) found in limo.


But Tony wants to rely on a completely-worthless and discredited piece of
evidence -- the "Dictabelt/Acoustics" evidence, which has a morass of
unprovable "What Ifs" associated with it.

But that's a very big IF.

The "scientific" evidence that was supposed to PROVE that 3 shots were
fired from sniper's nest was Dr. Guinn's bullet lead theory and the
accoustics.

traditional ballistics tests only proved that that the rifle was fired at
some point in time, but not that it was fired on November 22nd.

Since both the accoustic theory and the bullet lead comparison theory have
been shown to be JUNK SCIENCE, there is no scientific evidence that the
M-C rifle was fired on November 22nd, 1963.

That may explain why no one smelled gunsmoke, even on the rifle barrel.

> shooter while using their testimony to discount a sixth floor shooter.-

I use their testimony in conjunction with photographic evidence which
contradicts their testimony. The fact that an open window was waiting
for Jarman to say *he* opened it--after the shooting, when it was
already open *before*--means that the three did not just happen to go
to the 5th floor. They were there to make it seem as if there was
someone on the 6th floor.

It's not a fact that the three heard shots etc. It's just their
testimony, & it changed from statement to statement. The dust/debris
was originally said to have landed on *Norman* (in both Jarman &
Norman's initial FBI statements); by the time of the hearings, it was
landing on *Williams*. Amazing detouring debris! And Barb J has
noted that Norman failed to even mention casings/clicks until about 8
days after 11/22.

Warren Commission testimony of James Jarman:

Mr. BALL. I show you 488. What does that show?
Mr. JARMAN. That shows me leaning out the window and Bonnie Ray and
Harold Norman was over to the side of me.
Mr. BALL. What window?
Mr. JARMAN. The window on the west side of the building.
Mr. BALL. Is that the one to which you ran after you heard the shots?
Mr. JARMAN. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. And you looked out that window?
Mr. JARMAN. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. How did you happen to run to that window?
Mr. JARMAN. Well, I wanted to see what was going on mostly, because
that was after the motorcade car had took off, and I thought they had
stopped under the underpass, but they hadn't. So they went on around
the bend, and after I couldn't see from there I ran to another, the
second window.

Warren Commission testimony of Bonnie Ray Williams:

Mr. BALL. You ran down to the west side of the building?
Mr. WILLIAMS. Yes, sir.
Representative FORD. Ran down to the west side? You mean you were
still on the fifth floor?
Mr. WILLIAMS. Yes; we were on the fifth floor, the east side of the
building. We saw the policemen and people running, scared, running —
there are some tracks on the west side of the building, railroad
tracks. They were running. towards that way. And we thought maybe —
well, to ourself, we know the shots practically came from over our
head. But since everybody was running, you know, to the west side of
the building, towards the railroad tracks, we assumed maybe somebody
was down there. And so we all ran that way, the way that the people
was running, and we was looking out the window.

I am not sure how you think the bullet lead analysis proves that THREE
shots were fired from the sniper's nest. One bullet was never found. The
two largest fragments recovered can not be linked by NAA to that
rifle. They are linked ballistically, which does not need Dr. Guinn.
The ballistics evidence proves that at least one and possibly two or
more bullets were fired from Oswald's rifle during the assassination. It
can not prove three.

NAA is not junk science. It just does not tell us what we want to know
about 11/22/63. It can rule OUT other bullet types.

This might help explain why so many people smelled gunsmoke in Dealey

You seem to have a very short attention span. I have stated hundreds of
times that the two largest fragments are ballistically linked to Oswald's
rifle. That alone only proves one shot was fired from the sniper's nest.

That makes no sense. The fragments got there by hitting the limousine,
no other way. And the limo was unscratched out at Love Field. The only
way those fragments got into the limo was during the shooting.

So what if there was no blood? That means nothing.
No one has ever suggested that the fragments in the limo were planted.
How and when? How does someone inject a fragment into the seat? How does
one fake the dent of the chrome topping. You are grasping at straws to
avoid a simple truth.

Sorry, but I can't figure out what your question is. The evidence shows
that the rifle was shot from window #1. The cartridges ejected should not
be found under window #1. The ejection port would send them flying a few
feet farther down. In addition, some klutzy cop picked up the shells to
look at them and then threw them down in a slightly different location.

No, it isn't. You can expect to always find blood on a bullet. In many
cases no blood if found on the bullets when they are rifle bullets which
have perforated the victim. Depending on where it hits it may hit only
muscle and never touch blood. By the time the wound starts to bleed the
bullet is long gone.

Yes, the chrome topping was undamaged before the shooting and then when
examined by the FBI a few hours later there was a dent. The two large
fragments could only have gotten there by ricocheting off the limo
parts. They can't magically fall into those specific locations.

Acoustics is not junk science. It was used and stipulated to by the

which shots.
It is used daily to identify where shots are coming from.

There may have been a shooter on the sixth floor but it was not the Oswald

You mean Capn Fritz. I guess he didn't know it would be a rather
important homicide. The onlookers who reported this, however, tended
to say that Fritz *pocketed* the shells rather than just threw them
down again. In fact, we can't say exactly what was done with them,
tho we know the Crime Lab photos don't depict their original
positions, & Fritz borderline-lied when he affidavited that he did not
touch the hulls while they were in the depository. I think he wrote
that he told his *subordinates* not to touch the hulls, implying that
he did not touch them either! I wonder who his lawyer was.... His
damn-all-witnesses quasi-lie suggests he did something more than just
toss the hulls back down....

That's not it.

There is no such thing as a left hand scope. The scope on the Carcano
rifle has to be mounted on the left side because the bolt action
occurs on the right side. It has nothing to do with the left or right
handedness of the shooter.

The FBI found that the minimum time for a person to fire two
"successive, well-aimed" shots with Oswald's Carcano was 2.25 seconds
using the telescopic sight. The HSCA found that using the open iron
sights (the faster and more accurate choice for a gunman firing less
than 100 yards, and JFK was 88 yards from the sniper's window at
Z-313), the minimum time was 1.66 seconds between shots.

By Z-224, President Kennedy was clearly reacting to being shot, and
Z-313 obviously shows the fatal head shot. That's a span of 309
frames, or 4.9 seconds. Oswald not only had enough time to reload,
aim, and fire — he could have done it twice, with or without the
scope.

The telescopic sight had been damaged by the time it was received at
FBI headquarters in Washington. When it was damaged and how is not
known. It may have happened as Oswald stashed the rifle as he fled the
sixth floor. We just don't know.

I also do not think it was Oswald shooting, but your reasoning is flawed.
Someone could get down to the 2nd floor in 90 seconds. The shooter was no
caught on the 6th floor or roof.

The scope was not deformed. It was damaged, but that could have happened
after the shooting. And the shooter might make better shots with the iron
sights instead of the scope. And it was not a left handed scope. You are
regurgitating a lot of old myths.

The tip of a M-C bullet. Most likely the nose fragment found in the
front seat compartment.

As I warned you are going down that road. Now you claim the dent was made
artificially. So, let me put some words in your mouth. Your theory is that
just after the shooting Greer reached up with his ball peen hammer and
made the dent and no one noticed him doing that? The dent was not there
immediately before the shooting and was there immediately after the
shooting. Does it take a rocket scientist to figure out that a bullet
fragment caused the dent? And those two fragments found in the front seat
compartment could only have gotten there by hitting some limo part above
and in front of the front seat. So unless you can find another point of
damage for me, the dent of the chrome topping is the source of the two
large fragments.

Isn't there a double standard being applied here? It's O.K. to use their
testimony regarding opening the window as your main reason for believing a
coverup yet their testimony regarding the sounds of gunfire over their
head cannot be counted upon. My biggest problem is that you used some of
the most important witnesses in regards to locating a shooter in order to
discount the location of a shooter that they reported. That's important
information that should be included. Omitting the remainder of their
testimony looks like a dodge. I guess it really doesn't matter because
your claim is that their testimony is willingly false anyway.

Well, almost. The location of the bolt depends on where the ejection
port is. On almost all military bolt-action rifles the ejection port is
on the right side. A few fancy civilians rifles are made for lefties.
Oswald learned to shoot right handed in the Marines.

Subtext missing here. The HSCA only found that because they needed to
have Oswald fire two shots within 1.66 seconds to comply with the
results of the acoustical analysis. This minimum time was done without
ANY aiming whatsoever. Later Ayoob's buddies were able to aim and reload
two shots within 1.66 seconds.

Clearly by Z-224 Kennedy had already been hit several frames earlier.
See Dr. McCarthy's testimony.

I think almost anyone could get off two shots within 4.9 seconds. That
was NEVER a problem, NEVER an issue. The problem was assuming the first
shot hit at Z-210 (earliest possible frame), then a second shot, then
the third shot at Z-313. Assuming perfectly even spacing that gives the
reload time of 2.8 seconds. Not impossible, but then the doctors said
that Governor Connally was not in position to get all his wounds at any
frame after Z-240. So the new timing problem became two shots within 30
frames. Specter thought 1.6 seconds was impossible, so his only solution
was HIS Single Bullet Theory.
The HSCA sidestepped part of this problem by moving its SBT earlier
(Z-190), due to their reluctance to match the grassy knoll shot with the
head shot. Strangely enough, Don Thomas's interpretation places a shot
at Z-224.

Actually, if you look closely here, I'm consistent--you can't count on
them re window or gunfire! They didn't open it. They didn't hear it.

That's the whole idea. They were "important witnesses" because they said
many things which suggested, falsely, that there was a shooter above them.
One: debris which fell on one of them. But, hilariously, the early FBI
interviews with both Jarman & Norman had the debris falling on *Norman*.
The later WC testimony had it falling on *Williams*. Two: the sounds of a
rifle & falling hulls. As Barb J was 1st to point out here, Norman failed
to mention this for about 9 days. It almost looks as if Williams was
voted to receive the debris at the same time that Norman was voted to hear
the rifle/hull sounds, & so was not unhappy to give up the debris. I'm
exaggerating, but there was a switch here, after the 1st week, as if these
were malleable details of a story being written.

"Error"? And his affidavit suggesting that he did not handle the hulls at
all was also an error? This is an important matter which was not fully
followed up on, as also the transmission re "38 auto" hulls, which Sgt
Hill denied sending, then later admitted he did send. There was never a

That is ridiculous. Their window was already open as we can see in the

less than 10 feet above them.

I don't know how to explain this to you, but sometimes a witness will
bring up something in a later questioning which he did not think to bring
up in his first questioning. And maybe he wasn't asked the first time so
he did not volunteer it.

They never said it was a left-handed scope or that the rifle was set up
for a left-hander.

There is no contradiction in using the sound parts of someone's testimony
and discounting the bad parts of the same person's testimony.

Just because a witness reported seeing the shooter does not mean they saw
the right person or can remember what the person looks like. I have no
doubt that Euins saw someone and heard the shots. But I am sure the
shooter was not a black man.

Some parts may just be dead wrong.

Ah! But Fritz contaminated big, contaminating the Crime Scene of the
Century! And Fritz's quasi-lying affidavit made sure his actions could
not be dismissed as "simple error", or, yes, on the other hand, embraced
as deliberate malfeasance.... At the least, we have no photos, Crime Lab
or otherwise, of the hulls as they lay before being touched by human
hands....

Let me amend that--they did not hear the shots coming from less than 10
feet above them. They heard them coming from somewhere else.... They were
being used to *create* proof of a shooter above them.

Misses the point of my point. Norman & Jarman both told the FBI that the
gunk fell on Norman, in their respective interviews that Sunday & Tuesday.
By the time of the hearings, nothing is falling on Norman, & the gunk is
now falling on Williams. The Magic Gunk!

As for Barb J's point--yes, maybe Norman uh forgot to say, or volunteer
the info re the rifle that first week-plus, but he invariably mentioned it
every time he was interviewed *after* that SS interview!

So what if they made up stories and changed their stories? That does not
change the fact that they were there on the fifth floor and heard the
shots.

Again--their changing stories mean that, yes, they heard the shots, but we
do not know where the shots were coming from--probably not from above
them.

It is not proof. It is a clue. Where to look. The fact that they THOUGHT
the shots had come from above them.

I don't know if you are siding with the poster or not on this. You may

that there were shots fired from the sixth floor. If this is true, do you

So, in that sense, it would be just as logical for me to say that I have
no doubt that the men on the fifth floor heard the shots, but it is
possible that they may not have opened the window.

But in this particular case, would you suggest that the 5th floor
witnesses did not hear the gunfire above their heads?

Or, rather, the fact that they were told to *say* they thought the
shots had come from above them. Just as one was told, belatedly, to
say he heard clicking & dropping sounds, and another was told to say
he was hit by debris, tho the latter originally was directed to hit
the clicking & dropping stooge....

That is an age-old problem in any research.

Siding with? That seems all important to you. Someone can be correct in a
conclusion but wrong about some facts.

I like the idea that you think correcting errors is only arguing for the
sake of arguing. You'd prefer no dissent and continue to spread the old
myths.

This is hard to explain, but given all the evidence it would be
impossible for them NOT to hear the shots.

I think it is important to dismiss the illogical or impossible portions of
someone's testimony. If I read a SS agent's testimony and he says that the
motorcade went up Houston and then turned RIGHT onto Elm, I feel justified
in dismissing it as a simple mistake rather than postulating that all the
photographic evidence showing it turned LEFT was faked.

Opened what window when? They may be telescoping memory as Loftus points
out often happens with witnesses.

Did Jean Hill really see a dog in the back seat of the limo?

Suggest? Never. I might suggest that some witnesses in some locations did
not clearly hear all the shots. For example, Connally could not hear the
shot which hit him.

But isn't it interesting that the photographic evidence which would easily
have *corrected* their teleporting memories was suppressed for three
decades!

then when examined by the FBI a few hours later there was a dent.

A.M. version 2: The dent was not there immediately before the shooting
