10th & Patton is east of the rooming house.
Yes, .. that's correct..I'm in error. In reality the rooming house is NORTH and west of 10th and Patton....
10th and Patton is about 8 blocks SOUTH and 3 blocks east of the rooming house.
Since the streets are not laid out on a N/S grid and they run diagonally to N/S it is a bit confusing.
However the point is still valid....Helen Markham said the man that Tippit was tailing was walking east ( actually NE ) on 10th.
The man was not gasping for breath, nor was he running, or walking fast.... The official lie is that Lee had dashed the mile from the rooming house to PAST the intersection of 10th & Patton and then reversed his course and walked back along the south side of 10th street and re-crossed Patton. If that THEORY were true...and the man had been Lee Oswald he would have been gasping for air.
