a .25 caliber. a .3030 rifle. much of the first things you hear are going to be wrong and to some degree you were constantly trying to separate out what seemed to be a fact. in dallas, a dallas policeman just a short while ago was shot and killed while chasing a suspect. j.d.tippit, a good experienced police officer, was shot three times in the chest in the oak cliff section of dallas. then the manager of a shoe store saw the suspect walk into the texas theater. someone has been arrested in one of the downtown theaters. they don t know if it was the man who shot the policeman or the person who actually shot president kennedy. this is a picture of him. he probably does not look exactly like this now after he has been questioned. that s lee oswald.
the president was shot. and a police officer is shot. then someone named lee harvey oswald is arrested. oswald may be a suspect in the assassination. who is he? lee oswald of dallas, a former marine who spent some time in russia who at one time had applied for soviet citizenship. the description that we had of the suspect in oak cliff was similar to the description we had and the man we were looking for as the assassin. but at that time we had not been able to connect the two in any way. now, apparently a great deal of confusion. mr. oswald is put through the door. i don t know if you saw him. oswald lives at 1026 north meckley. he is an employee of a book-binding firm in the building which the police and sect servicemen believe the president was shot today.
