Tippit killing for me has a lot of questions which need answering

Comment on John F. Kennedy Assassination Conspiracy Theories by pio.

tippit killing for me has a lot of questions which need answering ,you mentioned helen markham and domingo benavides but benavides did not identify oswald as the man who shot tippit , .as for helen markham she told the warren commission she didnt recognise any of the 4 men she was shown in a poilce line up

Mr. BALL. Now when you went into the room you looked these people over, these four men? (one of which was oswald )
Mrs. MARKHAM. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Did you recognize anyone in the lineup?
Mrs. MARKHAM. No, sir.

Mr. BALL. You did not? Did you see anybody–I have asked you that question before did you recognize anybody from their face?
Mrs. MARKHAM. From their face, no. (she said the killer was stood right in fron of her )

Mr. BALL. Did you identify anybody in these four people?
Mrs. MARKHAM. I didn’t know nobody.
Mr. BALL. I know you didn’t know anybody, but did anybody in that lineup look like anybody you had seen before?
Mrs. MARKHAM. No. I had never seen none of them, none of these men.
Mr. BALL. No one of the four?
Mrs. MARKHAM. No one of them.
Mr. BALL. No one of all four?
Mrs. MARKHAM. No, sir.

so markham who while standing on the corner of tenth and patton with her hands covering her face said she dropped her hands down and the killer was stood right in front of her (supposedly this man was oswald )yet when she was brought to the line up she did not recognise oswald as the man she saw .

to add to her not recognising oswald as tippits killer she gave two discriptions that could not be oswald ,she told mark lane this

LANE. But, well, just, could you just give me one moment and tell me. I read that you told some of the reporters that he was short, stocky, and had bushy hair.
MARKHAM. No, no. I did not say this.
LANE. You did not say that?
MARKHAM. No, sir.

LANE. Well, would you say that he was stocky?
MARKHAM. Uh, he was short.
LANE. He was short.
MARKHAM. Yes.

LANE. And was he a little bit on the heavy side?
MARKHAM. Uh, not too heavy.

LANE. Not too heavy, but slightly heavy?
MARKHAM. Oh, well, he was, no he wasn’t, didn’t look too heavy, uh-uh.

LANE. He wasn’t too heavy, and would you say that he had rather bushy hair, kind of hair?
MARKHAM. Yes, just a little bit bushy, uh huh.
LANE. It was a little bit bushy.
MARKHAM. Yes.

so by markhams reckoning the shooter was short (oswald was 5.10 to 5.11 so couldnt be classed as short) an he certainly wasnt even slightly heavy ,and his hair was short and receeding not bushy . she told agent odum the killer looked like he was about 18 and had dark hair ,again clearly not oswald but its interesting one of the davis girls said the person she saw in her yard throwing away shells was a boy .

when markham was shown the light tan coat she said the coat worn by the killer was darker ,by the way the davis girls told the commission the killer wore a dark or black coat ,another witness who saw tippit being shot was frank wright and he said the killer wore a black coat .

Mr. BALL. I have here an exhibit, Commission Exhibit 162, a jacket. Did you ever see this before?
Mrs. MARKHAM. No; I did not.
Mr. BALL. Does it look like, anything like, the jacket the man had on?
Mrs. MARKHAM. It is short, open down the front. but that jacket it is a darker jacket than that, I know it was.
Mr. BALL. You don’t think it was as light a jacket as that?
Mrs. MARKHAM. No, it was darker than that, I know it was. At that moment I was so excited–

to add to that domingo benevides was shown the wrong coat by the warren commision (he was shown a dark coat ce163)and he said that it looked like the coat the killer wore .

the shells found matched the revolver oswald was carrying but the chain of evidence was broken ,the shells were marked by officer poe (poe scratched his initials on them )these initials are not on the shells in the archive .the bullets taken from tippits body were tested by the fbi ,fraizer the fbi expert said there wasnt enough evidence (markings on the bullets ) to match them with oswalds gun so he refused to say they were fired from oswalds gun ,this was a problem so the comission brought in another expert who said he found a few markings on one bullet ,so we have contradictory evidence in regard the bullets .

in order for oswald to have killed tippit he had to have had time to get to tenth and patton ,the comission would have us believe oswald came home at 1.00pm and grabbed his coat and gun and left immediately . so what really happened ? ,cab driver william whalley said he drove oswald in his cab and dropped him off a few blocks from his rooming house at about 12.58 (by the way he said oswald was wearing a faded blue coat )it would have taken oswald a few minutes to have walked from where he was dropped to his rooming house ,so we have arrived at 1.00 maybe a minute or two later .

earlene roberts landlady said oswald came home at 1.00pm maybe a little later
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 because
Mr. 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.

so whalley and roberts independently said it was around the 1.00 time.

so oswald came home at 1.00 (maybe a little after )roberts estimated he stayed in his room 3 to 4 minutes , what was he doing in his room (he was doing more than getting a gun ) he told captain fritz he changed his britches and his (the warren commision dont mention this as it means oswald has even less time to make it to tenth and patton )while oswald is in his room mrs roberts heard a car horn
“She said next a Dallas police car pulled
up in front of her house and honked. She explained:

“I had worked for some policemen and sometimes they come by…I just
glanced out saw the number (on the car)…It wasn’t the police car I
knew…and I ignored it….”

She said the police car was directly in front of her home when the driver
sounded the horn, like “tit-tit.” She said the car then “…just eased
on…and they just went around the corner that way.” According to Roberts,
there were two uniformed policemen in the car, most unusual since daytime
patrols in that area of the city were limited to one officer – such as
Tippit. She could not recall the number of the car precisely, but said
she recalled that the first two numbers of a possible three-digit
combination were a “1” and a “0.” Tippit was driving car No. 10 that day
and Tippit failed to respond to a dispatcher call at the approximate time
of the police car incident.

Immediately following the police car episode, Roberts said Oswald came out
of his room and left hurriedly, zipping up a jacket.”

so now oswald is leaving the rooming house some time around 1.03 to 1.04 (what happens next )mrs roberts says a moment later i went to the window and looked out and saw oswald standing at the bus stop (ill let people decide for them selves how long a moment is ,but i think this is anywhere from 1 to 2 minutes after oswald left )this means oswald was last seen standing at the bus stop outside his rooming house (the bus that stopped there was heading in the opposite direction to where tippit was killed ,in fact it was heading in the direction of the texas theatre)at some time between 1.04 and 1.06 .The
Commission timed the walk from 1026 N. Beckley to Tenth and Patton at about
fifteen minutes. (The House Select Committee would later say it would take a
brisk 14 minutes, 30 seconds.)so at the brisk pace of 14 minutes 30 seconds oswald would only have been arriving at between 1.19 and 1.21 . 1.19 is to late for oswald to be tippits killer (how do we know this ) because t f bowley arrived at tenth and patton and saw tippit dead (he looked at his watch it said 1.10) and domingo benevides trying to operate tippits police radio .but before this benavides had hid in his truck untill he felt safe to leave (he then went to help tippit ) and then decided to try and call for help on the police radio (he had difficulty working the radio ) then bowley arrives at 1.10 and helps him . the warren commision said bowleys call was at 1.16 (the evidence says otherwise ) but lets say they are correct that still doesnt give oswald enough time (remember tippit was lying dead a few minutes and benavides hid in his truck untill he felt safe to leave it before bowley arrived and made the call) if bowley made the call at 1.16 and tippit was dead 3 or 4 minutes by that time that puts the time of the killing at 1.12 to 1.13 ,by the commissions own timing oswald couldnt have walked there in less than 14 and a half minutes (at a brisk pace )if oswald had left his rooming house at 1.00 it would have been just short of 1.15 when he arrived (this again is to late to have killed tippit) but we must not forget oswald only arrived home at 1.00 (so couldnt have been laeving at that time ) and spent some 3 to 4 minutes in his room leaving at about 1.03 to 1.04 ,a moment later mrs roberts goes to her window and sees oswald still stood at the bus stop . for me which ever way you break it down oswald hadnt the time ,he couldnt have walked (even briskly ) and got there in time .
