This story is not so easily dismissed. If a total fraud he should be
fired from this newspaper to protect their reputation as a reliable
news source. Did that happen?
Waldo names three people he met with who had knowledge of this
witness. Two Secret Service Agents are mentioned. One is a very
prominent name: SSA Forrest V. Sorrels, head of the Dallas Office
of the US Secret Service, and the other is SSA Michael Howard.
A Tarrant County Deputy Sheriff is also mentioned: Pat Howard, a
brother of SSA Michael Howard. Even Mark Lane is involved in this
story.
As to the possibility the story could be authentic, we need to see if
any TSBD employees fit into this scenario. There are three possible
suspects as to the secret witness: Eddie Piper, Charles Givens and
James Jarman. All three had plausible alibis as to where they were
during the shooting.
Two were known to be on the 5th and 6th floor that morning. Piper
worked on the ground floor, but could easily access the 6th floor by
the elevator. The Warren Commission investigation did look into their
whereabouts at the time of the shooting.
The Arnold Rowland testimony has always been intriguing and now
even more so with this story.
