Hugh Aynesworth reporting on 28 November, 1963 about Whaley and his Navy Cross combat award.:
UPDATE:
.....
This newspaper story is one of the biggest distortions and exaggeration of the facts I've ever seen....It's a CROCK!
But...There is one thing that Aynesworth attributes to William Whaley that Whaley reiterated during his WC testimony.... Whaley said; "I didn't notice anything particularly unusual, ( because the guy was just another wino )
"I've hauled a lot of winos in my time" Whaley made this same statement to the WC.... IOW..The man was NOT Lee Oswald because Lee sure as hell did not look like a wino.
Another point that refutes Ayneworth's fairy tale ....Lee departs the bus....Aynesworth writes...
"The time is now approximately 12:42 to 12:45. Oswald hurries south across Elm to Lamar, then two blocks south to to the Greyhound Bus Terminal on the corner of Lamar and Commerce. " CAN I TAKE THIS CAB" he shouts to the driver.According to Aynesworth, Lee would have arrived at the Taxi Stand at the Bus Station at about 12:50 ....Hmmmmm William Whaley said that the man who looked like a "wino" and was dressed in BLUE work uniform got in his cab at 12:30.....And the man did NOT shout at him....Whaley said that the man simply asked if he could have the cab.....
With liars like Aynesworth reporting the news....( His imaginary news) it's no wonder that the readers thought that Lee Oswald really was a killer.
