so as we were told oswald left the tsbd at about 12.33 and walked a few blocks where he boarded a bus ,and then the bus is bogged down in the chaos so he gets off the bus and gets a cab which drops him to his boarding house, he gets his gun and coat and is walking by the corner of tenth and patton where he is stopped by tippit ,he then kills tippit.if you didnt look any further than the official version of events you would say yes he did it he was guilty and thats that . but thats not that because the official version of events is not as cut and dry as they would have had people believe .
we will start with william whalley the cab driver who drove oswald home to his rooming house ,heres a piece of his testimony where he describes the clothing oswald wore while walking towards his cab after he had left the bus .
Mr. Ball. Did you notice how he was dressed?Mr. Whaley. Yes, sir. I didn't pay much attention to it right then. But it all came back when I really found out who I had. He was dressed in just ordinary work clothes. It wasn't khaki pants but they were khaki material, blue faded blue color, like a blue uniform made in khaki. Then he had on a brown shirt with a little silverlike stripe on it and he had on some kind of jacket, I didn't notice very close but I think it was a work jacket that almost matched the pants.
He, his shirt was open three buttons down here. He had on a T-shirt. You know, the shirt was open three buttons down there.
Mr. Whaley. Yes, sir; he had on a bracelet of some type on his left arm. It looked like an identification bracelet. Just shiny, you know, how you see
Mr. Ball. Here is Commission No. 162 which is a gray jacket with zipper.Mr. Whaley. I thank that is the jacket he had on when he rode with me in the cab.Mr. Ball. Look something like it?
And here is Commission Exhibit No. 163, does this look like anything he had on?Mr. Whaley. He had this one on or the other one.
Mr. Ball. You said that a jacket--Mr. Whaley. That jacket now it might have been clean, but the jacket he had on looked more the color, you know like a uniform set, but he had this coat here on over that other jacket, I am sure, sir.Mr. Ball. This is the blue-gray jacket, heavy blue-gray jacket.Mr. Whaley. Yes, sir. (he would add to this by saying the jacket was a faded blue jacket ,ill come back to the jacket a bit later ) so he drops oswald off in the 500 block a few minutes to 1.00 some where in the region of 12.55 oswald has to walk some 6 blocks to his rooming house ,oswald walks to his rooming house some 6 blocks away arriving at 1.00 or just after .
The following affidavit was executed by Earlene Roberts on December 5, 1963.
PRESIDENT'S COMMISSION
ON THE ASSASSINATION OF AFFIDAVIT
PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY
STATE OF TEXAS,
County of Dallas, ss:
I, Earlene Roberts, after being duly sworn, do depose and state:
I live at 1026 Beckley, Dallas, Texas, where I serve as housekeeper for a rooming house owned by Mr. & Mrs. A. C. Johnson.
On Friday, November 22, 1963, at approximately 1:00 pm I was sitting in the living room watching television about the President's assassination when a man I knew as O. H. Lee, but who has since been identified as Lee Harvey Oswald, came into the front door and went to his room. Oswald did not have a jacket when he came in the house and I don't recall what type of clothing he was wearing.
Oswald went to his room and was only there a very few minutes before coming out. I noticed he had a jacket he was putting on. I recall the jacket was a dark color and it was the type that zips up the front. He was zipping the jacket up as he left.
Oswald went out the front door. A moment later I looked out the window. I saw Lee Oswald standing on the curb at the bus stop just to the right, and on the same side of the street as our house. I just glanced out the window that once. I don't know how long Lee Oswald stood at the curb nor did I see which direction he went when he left there.
About thirty minutes later three Dallas policemen came to the house looking for Lee Harvey Oswald. We didn't know who Lee Harvey Oswald was until sometime later his picture was flashed on television. I then let the Dallas policemen in the room occupied by Lee Oswald. While the Dallas police were searching the room two FBI agents came in.
The police and FBI agents took everything in the room that belong to Lee Oswald and also took our pillow case and two towels and wash cloths.
I have made this statement, consisting of three pages, to Special Agents William N. Garter and Arthur W. Blake of the U.S. Secret Service. I have read this statement over and I find it to be true to the best of my knowledge.
Signed this 5th day of December 1963.
(S) Earlene Roberts,
EARLENE ROBERTS.
Mr. Ball. And about what time was this?
Mrs. ROBERTS. Well, it was after President Kennedy had been shot and I had a friend that said, "Roberts, President Kennedy has been shot," and I said, "Oh, no." She said, "Turn on your television," and I said "What are you trying to do, pull my leg?" And she said, "Well, go turn it on." I went and turned it on and I was trying to clear it up---I could hear them talking but I couldn't get the picture and he come in and I just looked up and I said, "Oh, you are in a hurry." He never said a thing, not nothing. He went on to his room and stayed about 3 or 4 minutes.
Mr. BALL. Can you tell me what time it was approximately that Oswald came in?
Mrs. ROBERTS. Now, it must have been around 1 o'clock, or maybe a little after, because it was after President Kennedy had been shot-what time I wouldn't want to say becauseMr. Ball. . How long did he stay in the room ?
Mr. ROBERTS. Oh, maybe not over 3 or 4 minutes-just long enough, I guess, to go in there and get a jacket and put it on and he went out zipping it.
(when shown the jacket oswald was said to have discarded she claimed the coat he wore was darker, again il come back to the jacket)
so earlene roberts testimony of oswald returning to his rooming house at 1.00pm or a little after is consistent with the time it would have taken oswald to have walked from the spot whalley dropped him off to his rooming house . how long did oswald stay in his room ? ,mrs roberts said 3 to 4 minutes oswald told will fritz he changed his britches (trousers ) and he may have changed his shirt ,also while oswald was in his room mrs roberts heard a car horn and went to her window and saw a police car outside her house
Mr. Ball. On the 29th of November, Special Agents Will Griffin and James Kennedy of the Federal Bureau of Investigation interviewed you and you told them that "after Oswald had entered his room about 1 p.m. on November 22, 1963, you looked out the front window and saw police car No. 207?Mrs. Roberts. No. 107.Mr. Ball. Is that the number?
Mrs. ROBERTS. Yes--I remembered it. I don't know where I got that 106---207. Anyway, I knew it wasn't 170. Mr. Ball. And you say that there were two uniformed policemen in the car?Mrs. Roberts. Yes, and it was in a black car. It wasn't an accident squad car at all.Mr. Ball. Were there two uniformed policemen in the car?Mrs. Roberts. Oh, yes.Mr. Ball. And one of the officers sounded the born ?Mrs. Roberts. Just kind of a "tit-tit"--twice.
Mr. BALL. And then drove on to Beckley toward Zangs Boulevard, is that right?
Mrs. ROBERTS. Yes. I thought there was a number, but I couldn't remember it but I did know the number of their car--I could tell that. I want you to understand that I have been put through the third degree and it's hard to remember.
so oswald was in his room 3 to 4 minutes he then leaves his room and exits his rooming house ,a moment later (the definition of a moment may differ from country to country but its usual interpretation is one or two minutes ,ill leave people decide for them selves how long a moment is ) mrs roberts goes to her window again (maybe to see if the police car had returned ) she sees oswald is still there stood at the bus stop in front of her house (the bus that stopped there was heading in the opposite direction of where tippit was shot ,it was headed in the direction of the texas theatre where oswald was later arrested) she leaves the window and does not see oswald leave the bus stop either walking or on a bus and so has no idea of what direction he may have gone in . so he didnt leave his rooming house untill 1.03 maybe 1.04 a minute maybe two later mrs roberts goes to her window and sees oswald standing at the bus stop whic means oswald was standing at the bus stop as late as 1.04 maybe 1.05 ,and she did not witness him leaving so he could have stood there longer .
