Why was Oswald walking west on 10th street?

[Martin Weidmann]

The witnesses at the barber shop said he was running so he must have been.

Unless the witness saw someone else

The barber shop was on Jefferson between 10th and Patton and Zangs Blvd.....  I don't believe anybody has ever proposed that Lee Oswald was traveling east on Jefferson after he left the rooming house.....

[John Iacoletti]

No, it was at 620 E 10th street. About 2 blocks east of Patton.

Was there more than one barbershop?

"While it should be emphasized that only Officer Tippit knows why he stopped Oswald, thirty-years of research and the preponderance of evidence suggests that Oswald was walking west on Tenth Street, spotted Tippit’s approaching squad car, spun around, and began walking east"-- Dale Myers

Ah yes....Tippit saw him and became suspicious because he was puking and gasping for breath after his mad dash from the rooming house, to nowhere ......  Though there was nobody with a stop watch to time that world record run.... He had ran over a mile in less time than Roger Bannister, who held the record at a couple of seconds less than four minutes.

And by “preponderance of evidence”, Myers means no evidence whatsoever.
