JFK Assassination Forum Archives -- Misc. Topics Of Interest (Part 88)

>>> "I have actual Philadelphia newspapers, from the day of the assassination, and the day Oswald was shot. Even two days later, when Oswald was shot, the paper is still printing erroneous information about the assassination. Newspapers printed tons of erroneous information." <<<

Indeed. And not just newspapers were still reporting erroneous
information as of the evening of Sunday, November 24th. For example,
there's the press conference that was conducted by Dallas D.A. Henry
Wade on the night of 11/24/63 (shortly after Oswald was killed by
Ruby).

In that press conference (which can be seen in the videos linked
below), Wade laid out the evidence that had been gathered against
Oswald up to that point in time on Nov. 24th, and several incorrect
pieces of information were stated by Wade.

Much of that erroneous information was minor, but (in hindsight) some
other pieces of false data that Wade was relaying to the public could
be deemed a bit more significant in nature....such as when Wade
incorrectly tells the press and the live television audience that
Oswald's roominghouse on Beckley Avenue in Oak Cliff was located just
"a block or two" from the site of J.D. Tippit's murder. In truth, of
course, the distance was almost a mile (0.85 of a mile to be exact,
per CE1119-A).

Another fairly-big error (in hindsight) in Wade's 11/24 conference was
when he said that Oswald was the man on Cecil McWatters' bus who told
McWatters and the bus passengers that JFK had just been shot and then
Oswald supposedly "laughed very loud" (per Wade). But it was later
determined that a young boy by the name of Milton Jones was really the
person who was laughing on McWatters' bus.

Another error was when Wade said that Oswald deliberately placed his
revolver up against Officer McDonald's head during the fight that
ensued between Oswald and police in the Texas Theater. That never
happened, of course. McDonald was cut across the left side of his face
by Oswald's gun, that's true enough. But there's no evidence that
Oswald was deliberately pointing the gun at McDonald's head.

And other mistake was when Wade said that Officer Tippit was shot
"three times". Oswald, of course, shot Tippit a total of four times.

However, even though the above-mentioned mistakes were made by Mr.
Wade, that doesn't take away from the many BASIC, CORE things that
Wade and the DPD got RIGHT with respect to the evidence against Lee
Oswald (as of the evening of November 24)....

E.g., conclusively tying Oswald to both the JFK and Tippit murders
within just a few hours of both crimes; tying the bullet shells found
in the Sniper's Nest to Oswald's rifle very quickly; positively
identifying the palmprint on one of the Sniper's-Nest boxes as being
LHO's print; and also tying the rifle to LHO via the Klein's records
in less than 24 hours.
