Paul, here are some other random DalTex occurrences:
F. Lee Mudd later reported that he thought one or more of the shots came from the direction of the Dal-Tex Building. Standing at the north curb of Elm Street, he dropped to the ground when the shots were fired and looked toward the Elm/Houston corner.
He looked around him [the FBI report relates], and he recalled that in looking toward the building nearby, he noted several broken windows on the fourth floor of the Dal-Tex Building, and the thought occurred to him that possibly the shots had been fired through these broken windows . . . [He] stated that when the shots were fired, they sounded as if they came from the direction of the DalTex Building (24H538).
It should be pointed out that within minutes of the assassination a young man was arrested by police in the Dal-Tex Building.15 The police report states only that the suspect "had been up in the building across the street from the book depository without a good excuse" and that he had been taken to the Sheriff's Office (20H499). Curiously enough, the Sheriff's Office interrogation reports show no record of this man or what alibi he gave (19H526-527). He apparently arrived at the Sheriff's Office and then disappeared in the confusion of the moment. Eyewitness Charles Brehm told the FBI that "it seemed quite apparent to him that the shots came from one of two buildings back at the corner of Elm and Houston Streets" (22H837)16
15. The Willis family described to me the arrest of this young man. Dressed in a black leather jacket and black gloves, he was led out of the building by two uniformed police officers. To the catcalls of the assembled crowd he was ushered into a waiting police car, which quickly drove off (Taped interview; Nov. 29, 1966).
16. Holland, we recall, indicated that some of the shots appeared to come "from the north end of Elm Street" (Taped interview; Nov. 29, 1966).
