bureau here at the dallas police station. as you see, they are bringing the weapon allegedly used in the assassination of president john f. kennedy this afternoon at 12:30 here in dallas. 6.5 made in italy in 1940. police have traced a rifle purchased in chicago by mail order to oswald. he bought it under the alias, of a. heidel. handwriting analysts have established that the handwriting on the purchase order was in fact made by oswald. the price of $12.78, the life of the president of the united states apparently was bought. in the wake of the kennedy assassination, the dallas police on the one hand were committing all of their resources to try and solve the crime. move in the doorway, get him in the doorway. on the other hand they were ill equipped to handle this tsunami of reporters.
detail by detail. the mark lane s and the conspiracy theorists all flocked initially to garrison. and i can report that a powerful domestic force, a force that is still part of the american structure, planned and initiated those acts that resulted in the assassination of president kennedy. they all thought here s a guy who s finally going to bring the case that we have been, you know, arguing about for years. if i seem somewhat confident, it is because our office is in its fifth year and has never lost a murder case. the press initiatively built garrison up, because everybody believes no district attorney in his right mind would do this unless he had something. arrested this evening in the district attorney s office was clay shaw, age 54, of 1313 darby street, from new orleans, louisiana. mr. shaw will be charged with participation in a conspiracy to murder john f. kennedy. the charges filed against me have no foundation in fact or in
we ve laid it on the line. the warren report said that lee harvey oswald shot the president from his window in the texas school book depository. three years after kennedy s assassination, the major question is still a simple one. did the warren commission, with all that time and all these resources, get its answers right? tonight, we ll go over those arguments one by one, area by area. as the assassination was taking place, a dallas businessman called abraham zapruder stood behind that low concrete wall looking down at elm street. as the president was coming down from houston street and making his turn, it was about halfway down there, i heard a shot. and i heard another shot or two. i couldn t say whether it was one or two. and i saw his head practically open up, all blood and everything. and i kept on shooting. the warren commission could use the film and each frame to reconstruct each moment of the assassination. part of the reason why i think the film captured the
amazing. i like it. never gonna happen. information concerning the cause of the death of your president has been withheld from you. to show you how uncredible the conspiracy theorists are, over the last 50 years, at one time or another, they have accused 42 groups, 82 assassins, and 214 people of being involved in the assassination. could oswald really have done this? as a reporter, the greatest
when you have a great number of people devoting their lives to looking at every word, every comma, they can create a lot of mischief. i believe very firmly that ruby and oswald knew each other, and certainly tippet and ruby knew each other. before we proceed with that kind of questioning, let me ask you. what kind of conspiracy do you think? was it a communist? left wing or right wing conspiracy? i am convinced that there were two riflemen. the warren commission was set up, as you know, at the request and urging of the communist party. it s obvious that he was working for somebody else at that moment, and that somebody else could not be anyone else than fidel castro. there s no doubt of oswald having been in the window of that building. my opinion, castro violence. there was an entire world of assassination.
