[[ posted on alt.conspiracy.jfk in August, '96 by: bhart@cyberramp.net (Michael Parks) ]] ======================================================================= Here are more tidbits from an article Oswald Planned to Ride by Scene, taken from the Dallas Morning News, 11/28/63. Again, the earliest reports are the most accurate. All EMPHASES are my own. Up till now this story tells of Oswald's escape from the TSBD, the Tippit killing and him fleeing from the scene. I pick it up at this point. M.P.] -------------------------------- Oswald was reported in a used furniture store that occupies a tall, weather-beaten green frame building at 413 E. Jefferson. About the same time, spectators at a service station further west up the street saw him run into a vacant lot, where police say the killer discarded his newly acquired jacket and three pistol shells. (This makes ya wonder just how many shell where found. If three were found here and the Davis sisters found two and so did Benavides, that makes Oswald carrying a seven-shooter. M.P.) Then followed a chase in and out of alleyways in the Jefferson - Beckley - Cumberland - Zang area. About 1:45 p.m. Julie Postal, cashier at the Texas Theater at 231 W. Jefferson saw a hurrying stranger rush past her into the theater. TO THIS DAY, SHE CAN'T RECALL WHETHER OR NOT HE BOUGHT A TICKET. "I was so upset listening to the radio about the President and all," she said. (Brewer rushed up, Postal called the police and the story continues): The cashier immediately called police - who had just sped en masse to a false alarm at the Dallas Library branch on Jefferson, further to the east. The police sirens wailed again. Oddly enough, it was at the library that McWatters - bus driver who, unknowingly, had Oswald as a passenger earlier - had his second brush with fate. HIS BUS PULLED UP AT THE INTERSECTION AS A SWARM OF 10 OR 15 POLICE CARS ZEROED IN ON THE LIBRARY. "I couldn't imagine what was going on," McWatters said. "Little did I know!" (Were the police expecting to find Oswald there when the bus arrived? M.P.) Police went in the Texas Theater to the machine- gunning clatter of a movie called "War Is Hell." They found their man - HIDING in a middle-section seat. Three officers dragged him to a waiting unmarked car where two others had THE MOTOR GUNNING. Fifteen minutes later, the assassin of President Kennedy WAS SAFE IN A JAIL CELL. ------------------------- end ---------------------------------- .
