Still no answers from Bill Brown to my questions:
Where in his testimony "McWatters testified that Oswald got on the bus".
And where on the internet can I find the proof that the Nash couple actually saw the time stamped slip for the ambulance call at the Funeral home?
According to the police tapes, the first ambulance arrived at 1:18. It was dispatched from the Dudley-Hughes Funeral Home, two blocks away. George and Patricia Nash saw the time slip notifying of the dispatch and noted that it was time-stamped 1:18.
And no reply to my question how long Benavides was keying the mic of the patrol car. Brown has said one minute, 1,5 minute and two minutes in the past. He claims he knows because he listened to the actual police tapes at Dale Myers house, so why is he so hesitant to to tell us what the actual duration is?
And what about Bowley? According to police radio transcripts he made his call to the dispatcher at 1:17 and the call took 46 seconds (I timed it). Bowley arrived on the scene when Benavides was already at the patrol car keying the mic. When he arrived Bowley looked at his watch, which said 1:10 PM. Yet, in his recent interview, Brown said that Bowley's watch "was probably slow by five minutes or something like that", which implies that he actually arrived at the scene at around 1:15 and not at 1:10. But how can that be, when he has Benavides starting to key the mic of the patrol car at 1:16? To be fair, in the interview Brown said Benavides started keying the mic at "like 1:15", which means he, once again isn't very consistent.
Domingo Benavides begins to key the mic of the patrol car radio at 1:16. This keying of the mic would go on for about a minute and a half.
Are we really supposed to believe that Bowley arrived a minute or so before or at the time Benavides (respectively at 1:15 or 1:16) started keying the mic and that he did nothing about it for a minute or a minute and a half, before taking the mic from Benavides? Brown could easily clear up this confusion by telling us once and for all when, in his opinion, Bowley actually arrived at the scene, but for some unclear reason he doesn't want to do that either....
And there is another anomaly in the time line that was highlighted by Brown's interview. From around 39:10 Bill Brown starts to explain that three people (Mary Wright, Barbara Davis and OJ Lewis) phoned the police inmediately after the shooting. He then basically says that dispatcher Murray Jackson was unaware of the shooting until Bowley called it in on the radio, because at that time Jackson had not yet received any of the three phoned in messages. He then concludes (at 40:48) that, because the written notes about three phone messages had not yet been received, Bowley's radio call could only have happened at "a minute or two after the shooting".
So here's the problem. If Benavides waited around 40 seconds after the shooting (until the killer was out of sight) and then was keying the mic for more than one minute (in the interview (at 40:35) Brown claims you can hear the keying the mic sound for 1,5 to two minutes), how could only "a minute or two" pass by between the shooting and Bowley's radio call?
It's crickets on all these issues and one can only wonder why....
And there is one more point that needs to be clarified or explained;
A few months ago Bill Brown said this;
But, the problem for you is that you are using Bowles' words to suggest that it is possible that the clocks were off by as much as six or seven minutes, while Bowles tells you they may be off by two minutes maximum at any given time.
I seem to recall that he recently said it again, but that post was probably one of those deleted by Duncan.
Anyway, in his statement to the HSCA, J.C. Bowles, the man in charge of the DPD dispatchers, explained how the clocks were not synchronized, often indicated the incorrect time, and that it was not uncommon for the time stamped on calls to be a minute to two ahead or behind the "official" time shown on the master clock.
A master clock on the telephone room wall was connected to the City Hall system. This clock reported "official" time. Within the dispatcher's office there were numerous other time giving and time recording devices, both in the telephone room and in the radio room. Telephone operators and radio operators were furnished "Simplex" clocks. Because the hands often worked loose, they indicated the incorrect time. However, their purpose was to stamp the time, day and date on incoming calls. While they were reliable at this, they were not synchronized as stated in the Committee report. Therefore, it was not uncommon for the time stamped on calls to be a minute to two ahead or behind the "official" time shown on the master clock. Accordingly, at "exactly" 10:10, various clocks could be stamping from 10:08 to 10:12, for example. When clocks were as much as a minute or so out of synchronization it was normal procedure to make the needed adjustments. During busy periods this was not readily done.
In addition Bowles also explained how it could happen that a dispatcher could call out an incorrect time due to a delay caused by radio traffic
A given operator at a given time might broadcast "time" a little early in one event then a little late the next. Accordingly, a call initiated at, say, 10:10 might be stamped at 10:13 by the dispatcher, only to have intervening radio traffic delay his broadcast.
And finally Bowles cleary said;
There is no way to connect "police time" with "real time."
So, the obvious but never explained or answered question is; why would anybody, who himself (incorrectly) argues that Bowles' words mean that the times on the DPD recordings "may be off by two minutes maximum at any given time", still want to rely on times derived from that same system, in the full knowledge that is does not provide "real time" ?
