March 14th.....the Ruby Trial Concludes.
Next in the chronology is March 18th 1964. On that day Williams is sent an air mail special delivery letter to appear before the Warren Commission on March 24th.
Willens, Ball and Belin fly to Dallas to lay the groundwork for the field investigation.
Also an internal WC memo was sent from Joseph Ball and David Belin to Howard Willens. Ball and Belin were tasked with determining the "Identity of the Assassin" for the WC.
The memo is also dated March 18th 1964 and amongst a series of queries, statements and questions to Willens, the following appears on pages 3 and 4;
"Chicken Bone Story
Bonnie Ray Williams stated that he ate his lunch near the windows on the south side of the sixth floor.
His lunch consisted of a chicken sandwich and a bottle of Dr. Pepper.
The report is that chicken bones were found near a window on the sixth floor.
Have Williams describe the contents of his lunch.
The place where he ate his lunch.
Did he bring his lunch in a sack?
Did he see anyone on the sixth floor while he was eating his lunch.
What time did he go down to the fifth floor?
Note: Was the sack ever found? If the sack was found, were there fingerprints on the sack?
See Ball-Belin memo pp 23-24."
Also in that memo is the following question with the obvious error.
Was Oswald on the sixth floor when Billy Lovelady (sic) returned to eat his lunch."
I assume that the last reference is to a previous memo to Willens. If anyone has that memo please send a link.
