Photographic proof: Rifle not found on sixth floor

Everyone knows that the fifth and sixth floors of the TSBD looked very
much alike. From the outside, from the inside--not much difference
between fifth and sixth. But, as it turns out, there are a few
differences. As demonstrated in the new JFK documentary, "Mysteries at
the Museum -- JFK Assassination".

As host Don Wildman is about to walk from the sixth floor up to the
seventh--at about the 55-minute mark--we see what at first looks like a
familiar pillar behind him. You know the one--the one with the stenciled
"5" emblazoned on it.

Compare CE 515, a shot of the area where the rifle was found. This pillar
marks the right edge of that area. (CE 515 appears in "JFK First Day
Evidence", on page 174, as Dallas Police photo #12, "showing an overview
of the rifle location".) And an apparent William Allen photo [found by
19e] taken on 11/22/63 shows Patrolman James M. Valentine at the back of
the pillar "5" area.

As InsideSparta has written:

"In large warehouses, especially older ones with a large number
of internal pillars, it is common to number the pillars in order to locate
goods quicker. For a building like the TSBD, it would be common practice
to have the pillars numbered. That way, in the register, the location of
books would be designated by the closest pillar number. So, if the
register said the books were located at location 6-5, it would mean pillar
number 5 on the 6th floor. " (6/27/18, "Questions for Donald Willis",
alt.assassination.jfk)

Take a closer look at the sixth floor's pillar #5 in the film. Notice
that the electrical tube affixed directly to the pillar extends from the
ceiling right down through the "5". And it ends in a small switch box
below the "5". A single rectangular box.

Now, look again at CE 515 (aka DPD #12). First, the tube does NOT pass
through the "5". It goes straight down, about two or three inches to the
LEFT of the "5". And it ends, below the "5", in not just one, but TWO
electrical boxes. This pillar does not seem to be the same one we see in
the TV documentary, the one on the sixth floor. There are clear
differences in the electrical tubing and boxes.

And while the differences can't tell us on WHICH floor the DPD and Allen
photos were taken, the Allen photo provides a clue, in the presence of
Officer Valentine. In a report dated May 28, 1964, Valentine stated that
he "entered the Texas School Book Depository building, and was assigned to
the FIFTH FLOOR." (CE 2645 p6) The other floor, on which the rifle was
actually found--as seen in the 1963 photos--would then seem to have been
the fifth. At any rate, it's not the sixth floor.

Any number of interesting possible scenarios now present themselves. Was
the rifle simply left there just to frame its owner? Or was it actually
used on the fifth floor? Or did a sixth-floor shooter stow it there on
his way down? At the very least, we can reasonably conclude that not all
the evidence was found on the sixth floor. Homicide Captain Fritz's
reported handling of the spent shells now seems more problematic. Were
they, too, "imported" from the fifth floor?

When Insp. Sawyer radioed that the shells were found on the "third floor",
did he mean "third floor from the top"--i.e., fifth floor? Again, at any
rate, we can reasonably conclude that the defeaning silence on the sixth
floor, at about 1:20pm--according to Det. Marvin Johnson ("Report on the
President's Murder" p210; 11/26/63?), who was there --the silence was an
early indication that the famously noisy* discovery of the rifle (at
1:22pm, according to Deputy Eugene Boone) was not made on that floor.

"At approximately 1:20", Det. Johnson heard the sounds of the DPD-radio call
re Tippit wafting up from "the police radio below", on the outside of the
building, but he made no mention of the somewhat-more-relevant discovery
of the weapon, supposedly on that very floor. (He was on the sixth floor
until about 2:30.)

*"Boone yelled that he had found the rifle" (Deputy A.D. McCurley,
v.19p514) "I heard Boone holler out that he had found the rifle" (Deputy
Luke Mooney)

No "mystery" at all in the museum. The lights were rewired and new conduit
run. If you'll notice, the no smoking sign in CE 515 has been removed and
the post was cleaned up. Some of the gunk below the 5 is gone and in the
video footage, a new protective corner runs down the edge of the column.

Yes, as my friend Bud has pointed out, more or less, we have no comparison
1963-4 photos of the "5" area posts on the respective floors. I say we
have no image of the SIXTH-floor post; others might just say we have no
image of the FIFTH-floor post....

But OFficer Valentine stated that he was left to watch the FIFTH floor.
And there he is, in the same pic with the infamous post....

Here is a zoomed in photo of the column...

https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth49662/m1/1/zoom/?resolution=0.5&lat=1842.0826684405422&lon=1149.6783424848231

You should be able to zoom out or move around the photo. You can see a
checkered box at the base.

Here is another...

https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth49665/m1/1/zoom/?resolution=0.5&lat=1870.5&lon=871.5

This photo shows the other side of that same column...

https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth49659/m1/1/zoom/?resolution=1&lat=1706&lon=786

Note the checkered box at the base. Also note the other side of the "No
Smoking" sign that sticks out more on one side than the other. Also note
what appears to be a "7" on the post. I suspect a lot of the marking on
the posts are just people cleaning off brushes on them.

Another photo with the column in it...

https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth49521/m1/1/zoom/?resolution=0.5&lat=1761.5&lon=572.5

Notice the dolly with the plywood to the left that the flooring crew was
putting down on the 6th floor.

Another photo showing the stairway going down to the fifth from the
sixth. This is the same "STAIR WAY" sign seen in the other photos...

https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth49671/m1/1/zoom/?resolution=1&lat=1788.5487469249724&lon=672.6678227411836

This photo shows where Oswald`s clipboard was found, just to the right
of the stairs...

Notice the "STAIR WAY" sign in the back, and the "ing" of the "No
Smoking" sign on the column to the left. It is the same area. It is the
same column. It is the 6th floor.

Excellent finds, Bud! You almost had me convinced with the photo which
showed the plywood on the left. I too knew that the crew was laying
plywood on the 6th floor on 11/22. But I had forgotten that Williams &
co. were brought over to lay plywood on TWO floors:

Williams: "They called me up to help lay a floor on the FIFTH FLOOR. They
wanted more boards over it."
Ball: "You were laying a wood floor over the old floor?"
Williams: "Yes, sir."
Ball: "On the FIFTH FLOOR?"
Williams: "Yes, sir.... After we finished on the fifth floor, we started
to move up to the sixth floor." (v3p163)

"Started".... Only natural that some plywood would have been left behind,
to be taken upstairs only when needed.

Thank you. Patrolman Valentine's statement that he was left to watch the
FIFTH FLOOR was NOT in error....

Williams: "At the time we didn't complete the sixth floor. We only
completed just a little portion of it." (p163)

Only natural for them to take the dolly full of plywood onto the freight
elevator to the floor they were working on rather than take it up a sheet
at a time.

This is where they were making their cuts on the 6th floor, you can see
how many cut-off are there, and likely many of the sheets would have been
put down as full sheets.


https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth49517/m1/1/zoom/?resolution=0.5&lat=1502.7057060171437&lon=454.5295293219042

I believe another indicator that it is the 6th floor is the number of
rows of bricks in the arches above the windows. Photos of the 5th floor
show 3 rows of bricks in the arches...


https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth49731/m1/1/zoom/?resolution=1&lat=1900.5&lon=1191

The photo also shows the flooring done on the fifth, with many full
sheets.

Photos of the sixth floor show 4 rows of bricks in the arches above the
windows (like this photo with the "5" column)...


https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth49662/m1/1/zoom/?resolution=1&lat=1876&lon=1051

And down by the SN...


https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth49641/m1/1/zoom/?resolution=0.5&lat=1957&lon=819

The reason for the different arches inside is like due to the difference
in the facade between the windows of the fifth and sixth floors...


https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth339841/m1/1/zoom/?resolution=0.5&lat=3076.5&lon=761.5


But I think it best that you cling to your idea. But I wonder, is Kaiser
lying when he says he found Oswald`s clipboard on the 6th floor? Where he
indicated he found it is right near the "5" column.

Notice, however--at the extreme left of the 6th-floor photo below--that
their are only THREE rows of bricks above the second window from the end
on the east wall. The configuration of bricks on the side and back walls
seemed to vary from that of the bricks on the front wall, and from window
to window in the same row.

You need to show 4 brick arches on the 5th floor. People move, bricks

Do you really believe they were scouring the 5th floor looking for a
clipboard?

Very cute, Donald. Bonnie Ray Williams ate his chicken and drank his
Dr. Pepper on the 6th and when no one else joined him (except Oswald, who
must have struggled to control his breathing behind the boxes while hoping
Williams would get the hell out), went down to the 5th and found fellow
workers to watch the motorcade with. Golly, there's even pictures of them
there.

It ain't that hard.

Unless of course you think a national conspiracy/cover-up would count on
three TSBD workers to go along with the murder of the POTUS like robots.

I've always wondered...when do you think the conspirators got in touch
with Jarman, Norman and Williams? What day or week prior to 11/22? Just
give us your best guess.

But wait, you don't think all three were involved in the murder, that
two of them were just unknowing participants in the cover-up. Do I have
that right?

Your plot thickens.

You are a loyal hobbyist.

And this is why you are a waste of time, Don, confronted on one thing
you merely flit away to some other non issue. There were at least two
other empty bottles on the 6th floor, a Dr Pepper here...

https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth49517/m1/1/zoom/?resolution=0.5&lat=1444.7057060171437&lon=629.0295293219042

An empty bottle on the window sill next to the window the cop is looking
out at the 12 second mark...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHyuApXqja0

Someone made the assumption that the bottle found near where Oswald shot
from was connected to the shooter, no mention was made of these other
bottles likely because they weren`t seen as significant. Also likely is
that during the search for the murder weapon, an ordinary warehouse item
like a clipboard, far from the where the shots were fired from, would not
be seen as significant. If you can`t figure out simple things like this,
why do you credit yourself with the ability to figure out complex ones?

And devoid of the ability to make distinctions or reason, perhaps you
aren`t cut out for this second guessing of actual criminal investigators
at all.

Beside the point, I think. Which was that nobody was looking for a
clipboard, a soda bottle, or chicken. It was just there. And as Bud
noted, the clipboard was "found" near where the rifle was found.

And you seem to be answering your own questions. Thank you.

And Williams, Oswald, and Arce were probably enlisted about the same time,
whatever month that was--they all came to the depository about the same
time....

BREAKING NEWS! That's NOT the sixth floor. Check the uncropped Powell
pic in Pictures of the Pain, page 449: The SW corner window is not quite
all the way open on the fifth floor--as reflected in the film you happily
discovered. The SW corner window on the SIXTH floor--as seen in the
Powell--IS all the way open.

A fabulous find, Bud! There seems to have been more activity than is
generally credited on the FIFTH floor. That particular bottle was
probably forgotten when the (empty) "nest" was discovered on the floor
above. After or as Fritz picked up the hulls on the FIFTH floor....

You over-simplify. As you youself noted, earlier, above, the clipboard
was "found" NOT FAR from where the rifle was found. All those people
gaggled around the rifle area, and they didn't see the clipboard, or saw
it and were not curious about it? Unlikely....

The problem with your theory that Oswald, Williams, and Arce were planted
at the TSBD as part of a conspiracy to assassinate the president is
totally idiotic because the decision to hold the presidential luncheon at
the Trade Mart, and to route the motorcade in front of the TSBD, was made
AFTER those three individuals became employed at the book depository.
Never mind that there isn't one single piece of evidence that Oswald knew
either Arce or Williams before he began working at the TSBD. Nor is there
any evidence whatsoever that Arce or Williams had any contacts with
organizations that would have plotted to have the president killed. You're
in the same camp as Cinque and Saintly Oswald. You make wild accusations
against innocent people without having any evidence to back it up. What
the hell is wrong with you people.

Yes, ignore that windows can be moved up and down. Ignore that the
actions of the officer prior to being caught on film are not available.
Ignore how long it was between Powell`s photo and Alyeas filming. Ignore
that just because a person is photographed on one floor doesn`t rule out
him being on another. Forget that some officers were mistaken about the
floors.

Thus does the brilliant mind of Bud suggest that SOMEONE for SOME REASON
pulled the sixth-floor corner window down just a few inches in order to...
WHAT? Picture Bud very desperate! Someone throw him a lifeline. He just
can't admit he jumped to the wrong conclusion....

The window in the film reflects EXACTLY the corner fifth-floor as seen in
the Powell. Pretty simple, but Bud has to complicate matters to get what
he wants. All you have to do is go down one floor, not imagine the routes
of officers or reasons for moving a window down a few inches....

How do you know that the cop seen looking out that 6th floor west window

*I* complicate things? Put all your ideas out there, cops moving
evidence around, some cops in on it, some not and the media filming during
all these shenanigans. Fritz going to Parkland but then return to plant
bullets, A bunch of nonsense that you can`t begin to support with reports

Your cop Valentine couldn`t have been mistaken about what floor he was
on? I know, too fantastic to consider, there must have been a massively
complex conspiracy at work, cops rushed into the TSBD and started messing
with everything, and left the media around to document it.

The footage Alyea shot shows the boxes, not the floor where the shells
were. He was pushing his luck being there at all, he had to try to stay on
the fringes, he couldn`t bust into the nest and film anything he wanted.

Sure, but you falsely ASSuME that the patsy had to be WORKING in the TSBD.
They could have picked the airport or any other location. Did the grassy
knoll shooterr have to work in the TSBD to get access to the fence? Stop
being childish.

So...this is more important to you than the fact that you on a public
News Group typed your name below an accusation that Danny Arce and Bonnie
Ray Williams conspired to murder President Kennedy.

Without one piece of evidence. Only your imagination.

Some of us take that sort of thing seriously.

What a evidence-less, silly and ultimately cruel hobby you have chosen
for your life.

If they read your posts, I'm sure Arce and Williams or their living
families would have something to say to you.

Because he very likely never noticed the shells on the floor when he was
filming on the 6th floor. Two of the three shells were wedged up against
the baseboard, and the third one would have been out of Alyea's view from
the angle he filmed the SN.

Thank you. Give yourself enough rope & you'll hang yourself, Bud, is the
apt old expression for you here. Already established: The corner
fifth-floor window in the Powell matches the corner window in the film.
Now, notice that the SECOND window from the west end on the fifth floor in
the Powell ALSO matches the second window from the west end in the
film--both are CLOSED.

So now you have to perform some more speculative contortions in order to
put our cop at the window on the sixth floor, where the 2nd window from
the west end is OPEN.

And actually you don't have to resort to the Powell. I can see this
configuration of the fifth and sixth-floor windows at the beginning of
your little filmstrip! And the film was apparently taken closer to the
time of the cop's actions than was the Powell.

The cop is at a fifth-floor window, thank you.

As I just noted to you in response to another post, this same cop would
also have to have pulled the window next to it all the way up, too!
'cause that window is CLOSED in the filmstrip.... And in that same
filmstrip we see him walking past that window, and it is still CLOSED as
he passes it.

The comparable SIXTH-floor window is wide open--at the beginning of the
filmstrip....

I don't think that this window-opening business here is germane to my
"ideas". It's just a fact which you don't want to accept. It just takes
a grain or two of sand off the sixth-floor side of the scale and puts it
on the fifth floor. Apparently not conclusive of anything further....

Spell them all out so people can see how fantastic they are, so people
can compare the possibilities of the mundane things I suggest against the

Don`t know, don`t care. People were moving around. Don`t see any of

And both windows are open in this clip (0:15 mark)...

Either poltergeists are at work or people in the building are moving
windows. You might see both as equal possibilities.

Facts are facts and silly figuring is silly figuring.

Your figuring has a popular President killed and many people rushing
into the TSBD to immediately start moving evidence around with the media
filming. None of it makes any real-world sense, it is all a bunch of
imagination and nonsense.

Where have you been the last 30 years or so? "never noticed the shells".
Alyea is renown for saying not only that he saw the shells, but that Fritz
picked one up to show him. (Although, in later years, he has said that
Fritz actually pocketed the shells.) He said that he had film of this,
but it either disappeared or did not happen.

I think you miss the whole point. The shells were not on the floor when
Alyea was filming. They were in Fritz's pocket. He didn't plant them
until after Alyea moved on.

Different cop, different time, no bottle in sight, which latter set you
off on this fruitless rant. This clip, however, actually seems like it
might have been taken on the sixth floor--it matches the sixth-floor
window configuration in the Powell and your original clip. The latter
matches the FIFTH-floor configuration in the Powell....

I`m not the one advancing ideas here, Don, you are. If you say "This guy
is wearing a bowler hat, that means he is an alien", I might offer that he
might just like bowler hats, or that there is no known connection between
bowler hats and aliens. When I offer something like this I`m not advancing
an idea, I`m merely pointing out all the mundane things *you* must rule

OR... he was in the northeast window of the 6th. Again, you are the one
who needs to establish these things. The building still stands, go there
and take pictures showing the physical configurations that show your ideas
to be correct. Stop with the "show I am wrong or I get to believe silly
things" approach.

It is a fact that Oswald said he was a patsy. It is also a fact that
that doesn`t establish that he didn`t shoot and kill JFK.

Focusing on all the wrong "facts" is what is preventing you from
figuring out a pretty simple crime.

How can I be "cornered", when you haven`t produced anything of
substance? My challenge, which you ignored, was for you to spell out your
ideas so they can be seen for what they really are, and be dismissed out
of hand. Tell us about "The Plan", what was it? Fritz had bullets on his
person, but went to Parkland first then returned to plant them? How were
these police enlisted, did someone approach them and say "Look, we are
going to shoot a popular President, and we would like to enlist you help.
Even though there is no discernible upside for you to do this, and you are
risking your freedom, your life and you risk your family shamed and your
children tormented, we expect you will jump at the opportunity. And have
no fear of the intense scrutiny this crime will receive."


> I guess Ben H is right--you simply
> run from facts.

What facts have I been running from?

And using Ben Holmes as a source of wisdom is a bad sign.

I noticed this, see what you make of it. A voiceover on these excepts of
the Alyea film (at 0:22), apparently from the time of the assassination
says...

"Gerry Hill, of the Dallas Police Department just leaned out a window,
and apparently they found some shells, they`re in that room..."

It's probably just more junk being misinterpreted or deliberately mangled
by CTers. Sorry for being so blunt, but I have a hard time accepting
anything uttered by a JFK conspiracy theorist these days, since they are
almost always 100% wrong about everything that escapes their lips.

And since there's nothing in the current version of Tom Alyea's film to
indicate that Captain Fritz picked up (or pocketed) any bullet shells, and
since we *KNOW* that the film shot by Alyea was put on the air LIVE at
WFAA-TV in Dallas within just an hour or two of the film having been
shot---well, do the math.

Do you really think somebody who was part of a "plot" to conceal evidence
got ahold of the film when it was "wet" (right out of the "soup", as they
say) and snipped out portions of the film *before* it was shown live on
the air on WFAA? I guess you, Donald C. Willis, must think something like
that DID happen on 11/22/63. Otherwise, we would see Fritz handling the
shells in the WFAA footage shown in my second video linked below,
right?

Well, I say---Hogwash!

There never was any film footage of Fritz picking up the shells. If Mr.
Alyea ever said that such footage existed, he was most certainly mistaken.
Because if it did exist in his film, it would have most certainly been
shown on live WFAA-TV within hours (maybe less) of the assassination.

Anyway, DCW, as you yourself pointed out, Tom Alyea doesn't mention
"shells" at all in his 1993 public appearance. (But, I will admit, Hugh
Aynesworth's annoying interruptions in that '93 program don't enhance
Alyea's chances of being able to provide a complete account of his
11/22/63 actions.)

Couldn't have said it better myself! I'll only add--and here's where we
apparently part company--that Fritz picked them up on another floor....

You "advanced" the idea that the cop in your original educational
filmstrip was on the sixth floor. I proved that you were dead wrong--he
was on the fifth floor, as shown by the state of the windows, as seen in
both the Powell and IN THAT VERY FILMSTRIP, AT THE BEGINNING! Your post
contained its own correction! I'm not sure why you can't admit such a
simple fact, except out of sheer cussedness....

"Changed"? The sixth-floor windows are in the same configuration as seen

True. I'm 50-50 on that.... Of course, if you're admitting the first half
of that--that he was a patsy--then you're admitting there was a
conspiracy....

No. He picked them up on the fifth floor almost as soon as he came back.
They were found about 12:55; he got there about 1:00.

By saying "that room", they indicate that they, the speaker that is, was
NOT in that room, and so they don't know WHAT was found.

And it's curious that there are photos of Hill at a window, but NONE of
Deputy Mooney's famous shout out a window.... Somehow the photogs missed
that, although Sgt. Harkness and Deputy Sweatt, below, heard Mooney!

Yes, Hill, Sawyer, and Valentine went upstairs about 12:50, found the
shells about 12:55, very quickly, because--as Sawyer testified--officers
had told Sawyer that they saw a rifle on the fifth floor, "second window
from the end". (Patrolman Hill, Sgt. Harkness).

Only if one is unable to make the distinction between Oswald saying it

What "facts" have you presented? Is it a fact that the "5" column is on
the 5th floor? Is it a fact that Valentine is on the fifth floor in the
photo you referenced?

And he would know that Alyea didn`t film them, nobody photographed them,
how many people saw them, ect? There was a shooter on the 5th floor with
other witnesses and they somehow missed this? Spell it all out, dw, how do
your ideas possibly work?

What did Nellie say to JFK right before Oswald shot him? "Mr President,
you can`t say that Dallas doesn`t love you".

It is a grand canyon jump between disliking a President and the things
you suggest. And it wouldn`t even take a Kennedy lover to get wind of the
things you suggest to blow the whistle, it could easily be someone who
didn`t like him.

And have you shown the least bit of animosity towards Kennedy by any of
these people you have "in on it"?

The games you play can only be done retrospectively, you can`t show how
what you suggest could be a viable plan beforehand. You have dozens and
dozens of people involved, each a variable. The cops went up to the
seventh, in the attic with flashlights, but there were other cops just
moving around. And what if Brennan says "Look, Shooter!" (or anyone else
for that matter) and 50 or a hundred people instantly charge into the TSBD
and charge up every flight of steps and take every elevator? Or hundreds
of variations of this. Remember, these people involved are looking at the
death penalty, assuming that only people "in on it" will get control of
all the evidence before any media can film it would be just foolhardy,
you`d need a death wish to get involved in such an undertaking. And the
people you have most heavily involved aren`t even there at the most
critical time, immediately after the shooting. And what is the upside, can
you show anyone benefiting from this enormous risk? From a reality
oriented perspective it is silly from start to finish, so what is the
point of looking at window openings when they can`t possibly bear the
weight of the things you are suggesting?

You and he share the same problem, you can`t tell actual facts from
things you accept as fact.

<snicker> There you go. It is just some strange coincidence that Hill is
indicating where shells were said to be found and the voiceover mentions
shells, and cops and deputies say shells were found there but all this is
trumped by chicken bones.

There you go, part two. You ignore what is available for consideration

They aren`t there still so someone did.

And you never denied that I accurately described your position as one
where members of the DPD rushed into the TSBD and started moving evidence
around.

As Leo Gorcey would say, You're jumping to concussions. I've always
doubted Alyea's Fritz-held-up-shell-for-me story. That would kind of go
against the grain of Fritz's '64 affidavit in which he did not deny nor
did he confirm that he picked up the shells. Certainly, the person who
wrote that would not have allowed filmed confirmation of the anecdote....

I can't take pictures of the "physical configurations" of the windows on

I'm speaking of your erroneous guess that the cop--in your original
filmstrip--is looking out the SIXTH-floor window. He is not.

And remember, I conceded that neither of us has enough photographic data
to establish WHAT floor Valentine is on.

Deputy Sheriffs Jack Faulkner and John Wiseman both said that the shells
were found on the FIFTH floor. They didn't miss it.

Alyea photographed the processing of the rifle by Day, but not that of the
shells. I'm wondering now if Alyea was even there for the discovery of
the shells. He doesn't mention shells in his statement near the end of
'64.
Worked in Oak Cliff, and I'd say the TSBD too--as I say, I doubt Alyea was
there at all to film the discovery.
NONE of Mooney's famous shout! Come on, now, Bud, with all the
photographers around taking pix of everything....
"Someone did." Can I quote you?

So you can`t name any of these "facts" that you have presented that I`m
avoiding.

But I`m not using it is support of silly, fantastic ideas.

I guess you haven`t. You imagine dislike and then you imagine the dislike you imagine is great enough to aid in the murder of the President.

Circular. The silly things you imagine occurred in Oak Cliff are offered
in support of the silly things you imagine happening in the TSBD.

Not really the point. The point is the media being in the building
filming things. Who would know what Alyea captured on film?

No answer, It seems you can`t think of any reason your fantastic ideas
should be entertained either. I guess we are done.
Still ignoring what I presented, contemporary corroboration of shells
being found on the 6th floor.
You don`t think they got up and walked out on their own, do you?

Your positions in this case aren`t relevant to the discussions about the
case?

Bud is just speculating about windows he has never seen, lurkers.

Pointless point by Bud.
You just did it again! Bud just can't admit he was wrong, that's all.

Again, a pointless point.
Actually, I misread what you wrote. You know I don't accept that Norman &
Jarman were even there, and believe that Williams was an accomplice.
Yes, show me where the "media" filmed the location of the shells, in situ,
before Benavides & the Davises supposedly picked them up.

The government guys in the newspaper offices. (See "Secrets of the Sixth
Floor Window" for one example.)
Can I quote you?

I thought we were done. Bud can't even admit that he jumped to a false
conclusion (re the cop at the FIFTH-floor window)--that's the main
takeaway here....

Only a couple of us here are old enough to remember the Dead End Gang.

False. In the trade those are known as outtakes and WFAA threw them away
as a fire hazard.

Outtakes. WC defenders are still complaining about what Mark Lane
cut ouf of Rush to Judgment.

No. From Richard Trask's "Pictures of the Pain" (p529): "In one (Alyea)
scene a plainclothes detective, shotgun in hand, bends out of a half-open
FIFTH FLOOR southwest window...." That's the scene we see, and you deny
"fifth". And Trask is hardly a CT....

I think you're confusing the Dead End Kids (forerunners of the East Side
Kids and the Bowery Boys) with Our Gang. They WERE contemporaneous, if
that's a word.... But, yes, Leo Gorcey was the gang leader, when Huntz
Hall wasn't.
