I've read that the supposed eyewitness story by a hearing-impaired
witness featured in TMWKK is highly suspect. I'd appreciate feedback
on this witness.
Thank you.

If those men, dressed in white no less, were behind the fence juggling the
rifle, why didn't Bowers, or anyone else for that matter, see them?

There was nothing to "interpret" in his testimony. It was clear what he
said he saw that day, what? some 10-20 years later?, and with ever-
changing versions?

What he said was bunk

There WERE people behind the fence, there were cigarette butts there, and
someone ID'd himself as a secret service agent to a Dallas cop. Who was
he? No-one knows. Bowers spoke of a "commotion" in the area at the time of
the shooting. Hoffman DID spoke of what he saw and the time of the
shooting, went to the Dallas Police, who funnily enough, weren't
interested in his testimony, and he was warned by his family (one of his
relatives was a policeman not to say anything) His story has not changed -
have you even read the link I posted??

Yes, and he described two men who were *not* Suit Man and Railroad
Man.

And we know that how?

Oh! I see. Hoffman says so.

The testimony of Sam Holland really does in Hoffman.

When Hoffman and his buddies ran around behind the Stockade Fence,
they certainly would have seen Suit Man retreating along the fence and
handing the rifle off to the Railroad Man.

But then, Suit Man could not have retreated along the fence.

Just watch Holland's testimony.

That's silly. You are saying there was no one there? Officer Joe Smith
got to the Parking lot before anyone else and there was one other person
there, a fake Secret Service agent.

The game-breaker for Hoffman is that he first said he saw "whatever"
from his location on Stemmons, reported it to the FBI, what, 3 or 4
years later? Then 2 hours after reporting it to the FBI, revisited
the site and determined he couldn't possibly have seen it, due to the
angles/structures involved. In other words: The man "imagined"
seeing an event 3 years prior, then IMMEDIATELY recanted. 30 years
later he tells his "embellished" original story, neglecting to mention
his recantation.

Note to Thalia: less imagination/interpretation is warranted here.
Stick to the facts. You'd expect as much from the Warren Commission,
wouldn't you?

Please don't do that. You are not allowed to admit that a witness
reported something conspiratorial to the FBI. You are supposed to claim
that he only came out with it 40 years later for a TV, just for attention.

More nonsense. Like Posner with his billboard in the way. Pure fiction.
His supposed location would have a clear view.

> seeing an event 3 years prior, then IMMEDIATELY recanted. 30 years

Show me, quote where and when he recanted.

Do you even bother to read my link? Probably not. .John Mcadams got
involved so I know Hoffman makes Lone Nuts uncomfortable. From my research
Hoffman has stuck to his story, his family backs him up, and the problems
associated with his testimony is that he is deaf and uses sign language.

Oh, my. So you'll believe anything that "makes Lone Nuts
uncomfortable."

Do you actually care what the truth is? Or is it that you have chosen
up sides, and you'll believe anything that benefits Team Buff.

Did you bother to look at the Sam Holland video on my page?

His little scenario with Suit Man retreating down the fence and
tossing off the rifle to Railroad Man simply could not have happened.

The article doesn't even begin to address the fundamental problems with
Hoffman's account. The most important is that other witnesses absolutely
should corroborate Hoffman's story, but do not. It would be very odd for
Lee Bowers not to notice two men running along the backside of the
stockade fence, given the rest of his testimony. More to the point, how do
SM Holland and his fellow railroad workers not run into either of the men
Hoffman claims to have observed? Holland, et al, watched to motocade from
the north side of the triple underpass, and quickly made their way into
the parking lot behind the stockade fence. This would have put them on a
collision course with Hoffman's assassins. But no such encounter occurred.

Hoffmnan's story leads to a number of similar holes, like the DPD
officer's report, filed long before Hoffman's story came out, that there
was no one on the overpass where Hoffman claims to have stood.

In the excerpt you've provided, Bowers says nothing about where the three
men came from, only that he saw "three men running down the tracks several
hunderd yards from the control tower." Hoffman claims that he saw two men
running along the fence to the switchbox (which is near the north end of
the railroad overpass), where they split up in different dirctions.

What I see is that Wise's report did not mention where the 3 tramps were
running from --or in which direction they were running, for that matter. I
also see that you haven't addressed the simple fact that Hoffman only
mentioned seeing two men, and that they split up at the swichbox and went

I mentioned NOTHING of Ed Hoffman.

Bowers previously said he saw men by the fence.

Then, Bowers said he saw 3 men run for the freight train.

Are you suggesting the men running for the freight train came from a UFO?

Show me where Bowers mentions seeing two men AFTER the shooting. What you
may not realize is that different witnesses with different points of view
may see the same suspects at different times in different places. One
witness may see a suspect inside the back robbing it while another witness
may only see the same suspect getting into a car after leaving the bank.
So you point to the witness inside the bank who only saw the suspect
robbing the bank as proof that he didn't get into a car to flee the scene.

The only problem is that Hoffman and Bowers claim to be looking at the
same place at the same time.

How do Sam Holland and his fellow railroad workers not run into the only
two men in that area at that time, the fake Secret Service agent and DPD
officer Joe Smith? Obiously they weren't there at the same time.

I'm aware that Smith said that only three people (himself, a deputy,
probably Weitzman, and the "Secret Service agent") were there when he
first got there.

But then, I'm not aware that Holland or any of his buddies (Dodd and
Simmons and one person I don't know) ever said that nobody was there
when they got around behind the Stockade Fence.

If anybody knows about such testimony, I'd like to see it.

Both the Holland account and the Smith account are trouble for
Hoffman. Whatever the timing, it's essentially impossible to believe
that "Suit Man" could have walked back along the fence and tossed the
rifle off to "Railroad Man" without being seen.

Good question. Wise doesn't say, and we can't assume that Bowers was
staring moon-eyed at the picket fence from the sound of shots to the first
appearance of the tramps.

I didn't snip anything. You can follow this branch of the thread backwards
and see for yourself. For the record, this thread is all about Hoffman,
what he saw and/or what he didn't. If

Kind of an odd thing in a thread about Hoffman, where everyone

He said he saw *two* men near the fence.

Mr. BALL - Now, were there any people standing on the high side---
high ground between your tower and where Elm Street goes down
under the underpass toward the mouth of the underpass?
Mr. BOWERS - Directly in line, towards the mouth of the underpass,
there were two men. One man, middle-aged, or slightly older, fairly
heavy-set, in a white shirt, fairly dark trousers. Another younger man,
about midtwenties, in either a plaid shirt or plaid coat or jacket.
Mr. BALL - Were they standing together or standing separately?
Mr. BOWERS - They were standing within 10 or 15 feet of each
other, and gave no appearance of being together, as far as I knew.

The important phrase the last: "and gave no appearance of being together."
How could he describe them that way if they both ran to the same railroad
car and hid there?

No, they came from somewhere besides the picket fence area. And
where does the third man come from?

Bowers never said that the men he saw behind the fence ran anywhere. Not
to the Dallas authorities, not to the FBI, not to the Warren Commission,
not to Mark Lane. You'd think he would have brought it up at least to
Lane, if no one else, had it happened that way.

At the moment, I'm interested in testimony.

If Holland said that nobody was behind the fence when he and his
buddies got there, that contradicts Smith.

I just want to know whether he (or any of his buddies) said that.

Lee Bowers said in his filmed interview with Mark Lane that "no one"
was behind the fence at the time the shots were fired.

Per Bowers' filmed interviewed with Mark Lane, the "immediate area" he was
referring to was between the pergola and the stockade fence. After the
last shot, per the testimony of Emmett Hudson, and confirmed by photos and
movies, Hudson and the young man who was standing near him ran up the
steps and dropped to the ground. Per Marilyn Sitzman, the young black
couple who had been eating lunch on the bench in that same area rushed
away so quickly after the shots were fired that a soda bottle smashed to
the ground.

Two men — in the area between the pergola and the fence.

Bowers had views in all four directions. The accounts of his spotting the
three tramps do not specify how long after the assassination this
occurred, but the photographs of the three men being led under arrest
across Dealey Plaza show only about a dozen people in front of the TSBD,
and everyone casting long shadows:

http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/3tramps.jpg

Contrast the length of those shadows to those cast by people in photos and
movies during and immediately after the assassination. Someone using
photogrammetry could probably give the time of day within a half hour, but
it's clearly late afternoon when the sun was low. Do you really think it
took hours to arrest the three men in the rail yard?

the tramps.

Post Hoc fallacy. The bottle smashing does not have to be caused by the

It's in the same FBI report:

http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/hoffman1.htm

"Approximately two hours after the above interview with Hoffman, he
retuned to the Dallas Office of the FBI and advised he had just returned
from the spot on Stemmons Freeway where he had parked his automobile and
had decided he could not have seen the men running because of a fence west
of the Texas School Book Depository building. He said it was possible that
he saw these two men on the fence or something else."

In other words (if I interpret this correctly), if he actually saw these
two men where he thought he saw them, they had to have been walking along
the top fence like a balance beam. Hardly plausible.

Bowers and Hoffman (if he is to be believed) were essentially looking at
the same piece of real estate, though.

If what Hoffman says happened really happened, it's inconceivable that
Bowers would have missed it. The guy was recalling license plates and
bumper stickers, no less! OK, he gets a bit hazy when it comes to the
afterman (Mark Lane's "assistance" notwithstanding) but sheesh, he had to
have seen a guy tossing a rifle to an accomplice.

Hoffman's own family doubted him, and it's highly likely that, while he
saw *something* it was probably just the generally confused aftermath, but
that he personally wanted to be a part of the effort. He wanted to help,
as so many did, but when his information was found to be "not usefull" he
embellished it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have photos of Long shadows at 12:30 p.m. in Dealy Plaza Sir.

It takes time to stop a train in motion.

It was stopped about a mile North of the tower.

It takes time to Search a freight train Sir.

It takes time to walk back to the point of origin with 3 tramps in tow.

They didn't need to coordinate anything. They were just looking at the same
place at the same time. POV doesn't really matter --it's not exactly

to see two men with a rifle run across a parking lot.

No. He may have been looking at something else at the time.
Just like when people claim that Sitzman MUST have seen the shooter,
forgetting that at that moment she was looking at the limo, not looking
for a shooter.

I'm not the one arguing that the two men seen behind the stockade
fence by Bower inexplicably generated a third person on the way
to the coal car. You have yet to address that simple fact. Or maybe
you're just not good at counting to three.

Nope. Once again: Nothing in your link — nothing — says that Bowers
saw the three men anywhere near the stockade fence on the knoll. Or, for
that matter, anywhere between his tower and Elm Street. But if you think
it does, quote it HERE.

Yes, it is, when you are either looking the wrong way or there is a fence
and trees blocking your view.

I don't know how to explain this if you have never had any real life
experience, but it is possible for one person to see something that
another person can not see. Even if they are standing right next to each
other. The driver of a car may be able to see something just to one side
of a sign while the passenger can not because the sign blocks his view. It
has something to do with perspective.

Hey Mitch;

Do you think the 3 tramps came from the 63 Caddy in the parking lot???

Do you think the 3 tramps came all the way up the railroad tracks from
Mexico???

Do you think the 3 tramps came from the Winn Dixie behind the fence???

Do you need a photo of the Area???

No matter how many times you keep linking to your website, NOTHING in
your link says that:

1. Bowers saw the three tramps anywhere near the stockade fence.
2. Bowers saw the three tramps while he was looking south.
3. Bowers saw the three tramps anywhere between his tower and Elm
Street.
4. Bowers saw the three tramps as the motorcade went by.
5. The three tramps had anything to do with the assassination of JFK.

I just asked a simple question. If Bowers claimed that he saw
two men behind the fence, then where did the third man come
from? If your position were defensible (as you put it), then you
would have no problem answering my question. However your
only inclination is to avoid answering anything.

Actually, in the ARRB report on their interview with Wise, Bowers said he
"saw three men running down the tracks several hundred yards from the
control tower." The fence is a tad less than one hundred yards from
Bower's position. No matter what direction you want to have Bowers
pointing, the three men are far away from the fence, period.

In order to be on any railroad tracks they had to be far away from the
fence. At least 30 feet.

I think it's more likely what Bowers was talking about two different
sets of men. Two men before the shooting, and three different men after
the shooting.

The problem being, your citations directly contradict your
position. Bowers said he saw the men running down the
tracks "several hundred yards" from his location, which
would preclude the area behind the fence (which I've
already pointed out is a bit less than 100 yeards from the
observation tower).

And your citations still don't resolve your third man
problem.

That's the point I've been trying to make, Tony. Will wonders never cease?

Rossley seems to believe that since Bowers: a) mentioned seeing two men
behind the fence, b) told DPD officers that he saw three men running doen
the rialroad tracks, and c.) Bowers' recorded testimony generally
concentrates on the area south of his perch in the observation tower, then
the two men he saw behind the fence must have been the men who ran along
the tracks. How the two become three is a mystery that Rossley can't seem
to fathom.

Yeah, and we know that witnesses are so accurate, right? So when he
GUESSES at SEVERAL hundred yards he actually meant 301 feet.
And BTW the fence is not on the tracks.

There is no third man. There is a group of two men and then another

Bowers didn't mention the guy behind the fence who "Impersonated" a S S
Agent within minutes EITHER.

Are you gonna Deny he was there also?

YOU never addressed the FPPC being housed at 3126 WITH several
"Anti-Castro" organizations EITHER.

I never said the fence was on the tracks, or near the tracks, or anything
near what you've decided to believe what I've said. As for Bowers'
measuring prowess, it would be one thing if he estimated something like "a
couple of hudred yards," "several hundred yards" is something else
entirely.

Tony, you never miss a chance to miss the point, do you?

For Rossley's assertion that the three tramps ran from the area behind the
fence, they pretty much have to have bolted before anyone else is up
there, which pretty much means they have to be there before the shooting.
Otherwise, they would have been seen by any one of the people who flowed
into the parking lot after the shooting stopped.

False assumption. We don't know how long after the shooting he saw the
three men or that they were the tramps. They could have been farther up
the rails and then run down towards the source of the shots to see what
happened.

Lee Bowers was not *asked* to list everyone who came to the area behind
the stockade fence after the assassination. However, Bowers did state
unequivocally that when the shots were fired, "no one" was behind the
fence. Bowers also stated that before the shots were fired, the only
people between his tower and Elm Street were one or two uniformed parking
lot attendants, and the two men standing in the opening between the
pergola and the fence, who did not appear to know each other.

Attempting to change the subject doesn't change your problems here. Having
the three tramps "several hundred yards" away from Bowers puts them
anywhere _but_ the area behind the fence. Somewhere a mysterious third man
appears from parts unknown.

Bowers told Wise, et al, that the three men he saw running along the tracks
hid in a coal car, and had an engine take them to the car's location. Wise
climbed into the coal car and arrested the three tramps. You don't need
calculus to add two and two.

No, but apparently you do. Lee Bowers told Marvin Wise that he saw the
three men running down the tracks "several hundred yards from the control
tower". Repeat: "several hundred yards". Third time: "several hundred
yards".

Get out a map and measure how far the control tower is from the west end
of the stockade fence. It's about 100 yards. Not several hundred. No track
"several hundred yards" south of the control tower is visible to the
control tower. Bowers' southern view of the tracks ended at the Triple
Underpass. See photo B in CE 2118:

Bowers didn't specify SOUTH when he said several hundred yards away from
his tower. His tower was specifically located and built to allow him to
see all the tracks several hundred yards away.

Bowers spotted the tramps "several hundred yards" away, much further
than 25 feet from the fence. Perhaps you have a different map than
the rest of the universe? Could explain why you're hot to change the
subject now.

What's on top? Certainly nothing to do with my post. Lee Bowers told

Marvin Wise that he saw the three men running down the tracks "several

hundred yards from the control tower". Get out a map and measure how far

the control tower is from the west end of the stockade fence. It's about
100 yards. Not several hundred. No track "several hundred yards" south of

the control tower is visible from the control tower. Bowers' southern view

of the tracks ended at the Triple Underpass. See photo B in CE 2118:

No matter how many times you keep linking to your website, NOTHING in
your link says that:

1. Bowers saw the three tramps anywhere near the stockade fence.
2. Bowers saw the three tramps while he was looking south.
3. Bowers saw the three tramps anywhere between his tower and Elm
Street.
4. Bowers saw the three tramps as the motorcade went by.
5. The three tramps had anything to do with the assassination of JFK.

That is my point.

The southern view of the tracks from the control tower ends at the
Triple Underpass. See photo B in CE 2118, taken from the tower:

Several men were talking avidly amongst themselves about who made
the best hamburger. Another man joined in with his opinions regarding
asparagus.

Tony, I'm afraid to say that you are the asparagus man.

Both photos in CE 2118 (the "E" stands for Exhibit) were taken from
inside Lee Bowers' control tower.

OK, you're down to posting a link to a picture. Still doesn't resolve how
the tramps could be behind the fence if they were seen (repetitious, I
know, but it needs to be said) "several hundred yards away" from the tower
of Bowers.

It may be wacky, but entirely appropriate. Your additions to this thread
show that consistantly misunderstand who is saying what and why. Maybe on
the same wavelength, but 90 degrees out of phase the whole time.

It is loading more messages.
