That's a good question. But the Davis story wasn't necessarily the one that
found its way to the hearings.
1) Virginia, in her affidavit, said she saw the gunman from the *side door on
Patton* (not, as she testified much later, from the front door).
2) Virginia, in her testimony, kept saying that she & Barbara called the police
*before* she saw the gunman, tho finally she was allowed to *correct* that....
3) Again, in her testimony, Virginia, at one point, says that she saw the
gunman crossing the *street* (not the yard).
Thru these "slips" (cracks in the cover=up?), a different picture of their story
emerges:
She & Barbara did indeed call the police first, after hearing gunfire from the
front--a cautious move, since the gunman might not be out of bullets if they
poked their heads out!. They heard a woman screaming, & after what they figured
was a "safe" amount of time, finally poked their heads out the *side* door, &
saw a man with Tippit's service revolver running across Patton after the
shooter....
