OK----I will give that beginning from the sidewalk of the house 1026 N. Beckeley at 1:00 PM [which is generous enough] and briskly walking ...using the shortest possible route... someone of average age and size could arrive at the northwest corner of 10th and Patton in 15 minutes.
However- this is the location where it was established that Mrs Markham stood at the time. J D Tippit's patrol car was parked across 10th and some 3 lots [120 ft] east of the intersection. The proposed murder allows no time for an encounter, a discussion at the side of the cruiser, an exit from the car and a subsequent shooting. It also allows no time for the alleged walker to have returned to the front of the rooming house from a reported bus stop some 120 ft north where Oswald was last seen by the housekeeper. So- again, this is like trying to squeeze 10 lbs of time into a 5 lb sack. It couldn't be done so it had to be faked.
In addition..as I have repeatedly pondered ---If this was supposed to be Oswald, where in hell was he going?
this is like trying to squeeze 10 lbs of time into a 5 lb sack. It couldn't be done so it had to be faked.
You've hit the nail on the head.....
I'd call your attention to officer Poe's affidavit.... Poe wrote;...
"On Nov 22, 1963 at approximately 1:15 pm Officer J.W. Poe and L.H. Jez 1479 working squad 105 heard police officer involved in a shooting at 400 block of N. Tenth street"........Notice the time....At approximately 1:15 .... Poe heard ( over the police radio ) that an officer had been involved in a shooting.....
This means that the shooting had to have happened several minutes prior to 1:15..... Helen Markham was adamant that the shooting occurred at 1:06, and TF Bowley, arrived on the scene at 1:10 and saw Tippit lying in the street near his squad car. Bowley used Tippit's radio to notify the police dispatcher of the shooting.
The Time that Bowley transmitted the information was approximately 1:15 ...Just as it says in Poe's affidavit.
JD Tippit was shot and killed at about 1:06pm.....Lee Oswald was seen standing in front of the rooming house at 1026 N. Beckley at 1:04pm..... The rooming house was a mile away from the scene of Tippit's murder.
